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?

Good sequel

I have really enjoyed this second book from E.L. James.
There are some very interesting details provided into Christian’s early life that help you understand the man inside.
He is a man coming out of the darkness and finding himself not to be the monster he thought he was.
The horrific childhood coupled with the abuse metered out to him in his teens has left the man cold and unfeeling. But, throughout the story, there are glimpses of the goodness inside.
Zachary Webber’s narrative is excellent and clearly illustrates a broken mans desperate attempt to embrace a new life.
I hope that James goes on to write Freed. Just to complete Christian story.

Loved This So Much!

As said in a previous review I loved these stories full stop but Christians POV really gave me all the feels...and hearing Zachary bring his voice to life was just brilliant.
I was hooked from first words to last words listening to this story and would 100% listen to it again time and time again.

Christians journey to the light side

Love all the extra details in the books that the movies didn’t do justice. His journey from heartbreak to love and being able to say he loves her is astounding for this troubled man

Fantastic insight

I must say I am pleasantly surprised with this audiobook. I am a massive fan of the original 50 shades series that was written completely from Ana’s point of view. I bought these audiobooks on a whim hoping I would enjoy Christian’s side of the story and I’m so pleased I did. They have really given me another outlook of this whole storyline. Zachary gives an amazing performance.
