When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian’s singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed.
Now, together, they have more – love, passion, intimacy, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy, and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control, and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present.
Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, misfortune, malice and fate combine to make Ana’s worst nightmares come true. Alone and desperate, she must face down the poisoned legacy of Christian’s past.
Seductive, shocking, sad and funny, Fifty Shades Freed is the compelling final volume in the Fifty Shades trilogy.

Thoughts/Review:
A magnificent ending to an astounding trilogy, Fifty Shades
Freed glued my arse to my seat and didn’t let me get up. I had such high
expectations from this book and E.L. James did not fail to deliver one bit [she
never does!] So much happened in this book and I never wanted it to end. I
swear, if E.L. just continued to write these twos day to day life, I would
still be engrossed in it. I hope this review isn’t all gushing about Christian,
but I refuse to make any promises…
I couldn’t help but to drink in every last thing in this
book since I knew I was getting no more Christian and Ana after it was over. I
drank in the fights, the hot steamy sex, the good times they shared, and the
rare times when Christian actually opened up. This book was so pivotal for
these two and it was done perfectly. I have noticed a lot of people saying they
didn’t like how Christian was no longer himself in this book but I couldn’t
disagree more. He still has this crazy controlling dark side to him, but he is
learning how to cope and deal with all these demons he has accumulated in his
life. It was incredible watching our dear, dear Fifty change. And change in
this book isn’t all about Christian either. Ana finally comes into her own skin
[and attitude] and it is so thrilling and fulfilling to watch.
There was a lot of back and forth in this book but what else
could you expect with these two?! The whole time reading it I was either. A]
Swooning my socks off B] Fanning myself from all the steamy sex C] Screaming at
Christian or D] Rooting and saying you go girl to Ana. As I was blissfully enjoying
the story I couldn’t help but to be on the edge of my seat. I felt something
huge brewing in the pages and I wanted to know what it was. And boy, does it
hit you hard when it comes.
This whole build up to this one incredibly crazy intense
scene had me holding my breath. I was blown away when it came jumping out at me
and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
I thought my life was going to end for Christ sake. I can’t even halfway
tell you what it is either folks. You HAVE to read it, and if you love fifty as
much as we sub-club chicks do, you won’t waste one moment picking it up. E.L. James
couldn’t have written a better ending even if Christian himself was sitting
near her with his twitchy palms. But I guess if he was doing that, the book
never would have been written now would it *wink* . So I depart from my
favorite sexy trilogy with my favorite sexy couple with just one last thought.
Oh Fifty, it’s so sad to see you go, but it’s so nice to
watch you leave…

**** **** **** ****
I can't believe it is over people!!!! I just want to sit and cry or something for awhile. No more reading about my sexy sexy Fifty. But seriously gals, we should all make a sub-club. I mean, we all would do whatever Christian wanted, and don't you lie and say you wouldn't! ;] Sub-club unite!
