Fifty Shades Darker - E.L. James

Daunted by the singular sexual tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house. 

But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades. 

While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.


These books frustrate me. While I was reading this latest book following on from Fifty Shades of Grey, there were so many time I was mentally banging my head against the wall. In places it felt a little monotonous and the sex scenes we still saucy, but they said the same things to each other every time.
Yes he was damaged and constantly needs reassurance, but it kind of gets a little old when she has to keep repeating that she is 'his' several times in each chapter. And Ana's lack of self confidence can get a little old, but having said that, I still read the book in record time and often couldn't drag myself away. That was what made it so frustrating for me. 

If you liked the first book then you will definitely love this one. The story line became more about the two of them forging a relationship and learning about each other than his 'playroom', so because of this I enjoyed the second book more than the first one, and despite myself I know that tomorrow I will go against my better judgement and go buy the third (and secretly enjoy it). 

Definitely makes the commute to and from work a little more interesting to say the least...
