3 stars because it was definitely better than the second one but not quite five stars because nothing could top the initial satisfaction of the first one. Most of the plot was rather redundant, the conversations, sex scenes, details, circumstances. Ana and Christian are still on a power struggle and an emotional see-saw. I did really like the ending, especially the author giving us a glimpse of Christian's perspective. That was ingenious of her and gratuitous for the readers. Bottom line is the first one was the best one but nothing reviewers say or do will stop you from reading the entire series if you want to. Overall, thank you E L James for getting people to pull their brains out of their overly technological asses and getting a book. No one has been this monumental/sensational in the literary world since J.K Rowling.

*****SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS IN SERIES***** Ana and Christian are now married. Even married, their lives are filled with excitement (no, not just sex), as someone still seems to be after Christian. He has security posted everywhere and to Ana's chagrin, he doesn't want her to do much of anything, certainly not without security following her around. *****END SPOILER***** I really liked this one. There was lots going on to keep me interested. It kind of picked up where book 2 left off, in intensity, I think. Most of the 2nd book was slower for me, so for a while, I wasn't sure if I wanted to finish the series, but with how book 2 ended, I decided to and I'm glad I did. I think I liked this one best of all three, though I've rated it the same as the first one. Christian sure infuriates me at times, though!

I really loved the first book and as the story went on, it kind of disapointed me little by little. I think maybe it's all the sex involved or something, but there was something missing in the last book that had the first book. Even though that was a disapointement, the ending really made up fo it. The end brought a big smile on my face and I liked that a few pages after, the author writes about what Christian thinks about. It was a good book.

Enjoyed the first book, like the second book, thought this book was very slow. The ending was good, but there was too much to get through to get there. It just wasn't as "dark" as the first book, which is what I enjoyed about it.

And they say this book isnt for men

This book was once again filled with Drama!!! Once i started it, i could not put it down!!!!! Although the series is over (or is it??? ;) this book would always be in my mind because there are somethings that i could read and forget BUT this is not one of them!!! I totally recommend to read!!!!

The last book of the series wasn’t my favourite but it was still very good and had me hooked onto every word. Anastasia and Grey are finally married. After being on their honeymoon for a couple weeks, it is time to return to reality. As much as they don’t want to leave their little bubble, they know they must. Anastasia wants to go back to work after Christian insists adamantly for her to stay home. He reveals to her that he wants her to run the company but Anastasia isn’t ready for running her own business and wouldn’t know where to start. Throughout the entire book Anastasia annoys me. She is whiney and won’t give Christian the satisfaction of knowing if he asks her to do something, she will listen. She never listens to him and looks for the opportunity to go against his rules in every form. He tells her to stay home and not go out for drinks. She agrees; but then what does she do? Goes out for drinks with Kate. For once, woman, listen to your husband. As much as she bothered me, I still loved the book. Hyde gets released on bail and goes after Anastasia. I don’t want to ruin what else happens, so you are going to have to read it and find out. I was going to give this book four stars but I had to give it a five for the ending. After the book finishes, the author decided to write when Christian and Anastasia meet for the first time, but in Christian’s perspective. I loved every minute of that. As well as she wrote Christians first Christmas with the Grey’s. It was so sweet. I will leave it at that and tell everyone who is reading this review to go out and get the books. Don’t want to buy them? Email me, I will send you a copy. Shh, don’t tell anyone though. I cannot wait until the movie comes out!

I can see how opinions can go both ways, I did feel it drug on a bit. In the end though, I fell in love with the story and the characters. I was sad that it ended and wanted more! I enjoyed all three books!

I hate when the first book is unreal , the second sucks but you have the read the last just to see how the story ends, well let me just sat that I'm so glad to be done with this series ... only part of this book i liked was the ending ... i mean come on I think they said " I love you " more times then was needed .. Went from really Kinky to overly mushy :(

I've never read a trilogy so fast. I was consumed by the action, excitement and the overall need for wanting more (like Ana Steele - couldn't keep my hands off it). After all are read and done - I'm left wanting more from EL James, Ana & Christian. The action was good the excitement was great well the kinky f*&^%ery made me speechless.
