I bought this not understanding why it was so popular, but I figured I'd educate myself. after the first book, about 2 pages into the 2nd book, I was hooked on the storyline and really, just read the rest of #2 and #3 because I needed to know what happened. As soon as I started #2, I realized that everything was SO repetitive. I really don't understand why these books are so popular. Even the s&m piece is so repetitive. I'd only recommend this to a friend if they had time to burn and wanted to read what all the talk was about ;)

I liked this trilogy and will read it again. I dont see this becomming a good movie in any way possible as they would either have to make it X rated or ommit the most important (and often) scenes, and these are the parts that are drawing all of us in, so please leave it all up to our imagination and dont ruin it with a movie.

I'm only about half way throughthe first book. So far I have to say that I am a little dissapointed. It's almost like watching a poorly made movie. It is very predictable and the characters are a little shallow. I guess because I'm a strong willed woman, and the idea that a rich, gorgeous man can overpower a woman's will and make her all giddy, is not that attractive to me. I like stories about women who are strong and make things happen without the help of a man. I think I will keep reading to see if Ana ends up on top (pun intended)!

I was disappointed in these books. The story line was good but the writing was bad. Very repetitive. I loved the idea of it being an ?erotic? story. But after the first love scene it just became the same thing over and over. I started skipping pages to get back to the story. Also the characters had the same conversations over and over again. Yes we get it she doesn't eat much, and yes we get it he has issues?can we move on to someone doing something now.

The book was entertaining although poorly written. You can tell that the books were hurried to print.

It is a good book if you need something to read, a little over rated though. It is kind of a good story the first time around, however, I tried to reread it, and I just can't get into it again.

This book was really just OK. I expected to be glued to the book but in all honesty i wasn't. I'm the kind of reader that if i dont like a book i'll i'll know it within the first 50 pages and will immediately move on to another book until i find one that i just can't put down. The story line was predictable. I knew he was gonna end up falling for her because she wasn't like all the other girls he was used to dating. It was literally a girl's (notice i didn't say woman) fantacy. Handsome rich man falls for you takes you on amazing dates, f**ks you like no other yadda yadda yadda. But that's just it, it's too over the top that it's incredibly unrealistic. This guy is the typical (and literal) scarred man she needs to "fix" and he's the irresistible girl he can't keep his hands off. All the while introducing her to a magnificent world of luxury and extravagance. Its so unlikely that this would ever happen that it's almost comical. Granted this is a book, and so it's supposed to transport us to a world where anything is possible, but i guess i expect a bit more realism if the story claims to be something realistic. If I want fantasy i'll read fantasy otherwise don't give me something so far fetched i wont want to read it. The writing was not up to par. With the amount of publicity this book got i expected it to be a bit...well better written. The number of times she says "Holy Shit" is, "too damn high!" (kudos if you get the reference!). I know this book is part of a trilogy, but up until now I've found myself at 95% (kindle user) for the last 3 months and have yet to get around to finishing the remaining 5% of the book. If that tells you anything it's that perhaps the book isn't as great as it's been made out to be. I did however give it average rating because on a lonely night it is possible i may find myself compelled to read something of this caliber.

The story line it self was good, but after so long there is only so many times you can discuss sex with out it being repetitive. It had its ups and downs for me.

It's a book you should probably read to know what the hype is about, but the lack of plot made the book drag on forever. Every other page is a sex scene.

I read all three books in this series in about 2 weeks because I couldn't put them down. Not the best books I have read and certainly disappointed in the ending. I think the author got rushed to finish the last book and it shows in the writing. Over all the story line was good. I scones over a lot of the sexual parts of the book just because that sort of thing does not interest me.

I found the books entertaining. Not the best books but worth reading.

While the books were steamy, I did enjoy the story line. I did get tired of the same expressions over and over but I am glad I read the trilogy.

Very steamy but very poorly written

I was hooked on this book. I agree the writing was not professional and was written terribly but the storyline itself was awesome. Can't wait to see how the movie turns out.

a very sexual and entertaining book i highly suggest reading it this book will grab you attention immediately
