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

This book was my first erotic romance, and I must say I couldn't finish it. Maybe I needed a lighter romance book first, before I got into this one. Certain events that took place made my ears bleed, lol, but it was an okay book. All of my friends were head over heels, because they are used to reading these types of novels, maybe I wasn't ready.

This book is very controversial. On the one hand you have people who are loving it and wanting to read it again and again. Then the other hand you have those that cannot get through it and say it is too much or just not written right. This book takes you from the fantasy that everyone believes and makes it a bit more real with how some relationships are. The main story is very good and shows you that some people are not as put together as they seem. It makes you step back before you judge someone. It was written slightly poorly but still had the story that was good. Some say that the main female character was lacking a backbone which she did in some cases but it shows that it is hard to stand up for yourself but she comes through in the end with a backbone. The sex scenes are intense and will make some cringe and others salivate at the mouth. It is all a matter of opinion. Just BEWARE that they are there and may be intense to those of more traditional values. The book is good and was a good read. I would recommend it to only certain friends.

Let me say that this book is a very simple book. If you are looking for something profound then you would be better served reading something else. This book is entertaining though, if you can deal with the author repeating herself constantly. It's totally unbelievable and ridiculous but I still had fun reading it. I'm currently reading GREY, From Christians prospective. I am hoping that it's better than her first three, though I don't have much hope of that.

Well, I read this book because all my friends are crazy about it; but I don't think is a good book. A little boring, repetitive, predictable. I bought the trilogy and feel very disappointed with these books, but I think this is the better of the trilogy.

Good story that had the potential to be a great story if it had been better written.

I read this book like 3 years ago. It was OK for me. The book was entertaining and made me go and do a bit of a research on some fun things you can do ;P

A good story line but I think it was poorly written. Very predictable and repetitive.

I loved the series and can say it was definitely an interesting read.

I must have been one of the few people who wasn't impressed at all with this book. It's not that I'm a prude and opposed to the content, I just thought it was so poorly written it was hard to get through. I enjoy fluff books just as much as the next gal (I've read all the Sookie Stackhouse books) but there is something about this book that is just dreadful. I will say if it adds a spark to someones' relationship than go for it!
