Publisher's Summary

E L James revisits the world of Fifty Shades with a deeper and darker take on the love story that has enthralled millions of fans around the globe.

Their scorching, sensual affair ended in heartbreak and recrimination, but Christian Grey cannot get Anastasia Steele out of his mind, or his blood. Determined to win her back, he tries to suppress his darkest desires and his need for complete control, and to love Ana on her own terms.

But the horrors of his childhood still haunt him, and Ana's scheming boss, Jack Hyde, clearly wants her for himself. Can Christian's confidant and therapist, Dr. Flynn, help him face down his demons? Or will the possessiveness of Elena, his seducer, and the deranged devotion of Leila, his former submissive, drag Christian down into the past?

And if Christian does win Ana back, can a man so dark and damaged ever hope to keep her?

Insight to a troubled Christian

I'm really enjoying the Grey series more than the Fifty series. The key character in this storyline is a broken man with a broken soul and his path back to redemption through his growing relationship with Ana.
I'm throughly enjoying the insight into Christian's mind, his anxieties and his fears and his struggle with how to combat and defeat his demons.
My heart swelled when he laid it all out to Ana at Escala and bared his darkest fears to her. He really is a small child trapped in the body of a grown man.
I'm thoroughly looking forward to the final chapter in Christians story.
If like me, you want to follow Christian's story rather than Ana's, you will enjoy this book!

Loved hearing it from Christians perceptive

I see all these negative comments about it “being the same” and “don’t bother” but I disagree.

I think it’s because it had been YEARS since I read the original books from Ana’s perspective but I do recommend my method as I ended up loving Christian’s side of the story.

I loved this book in 2014 and I still love it 10 years later

Loved re hearing the storyline from Christians point of view

I was a Fifty Shades of Grey fan and was sceptical listening to storyline again but I loved it. It was great hearing Christians side of the story and that included extra parts not discussed from Anastasia’s point of view.
