"Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house.
But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades.
While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life."
So if you haven't read the first book, SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Just like the first book, this book is steamy and intense. This book picks up almost immediately where the first left off after the painful split between Ana and Christian. Ana finally realized that she couldn't take the lifestyle Christian wanted and left him. It was painful and I simply couldn't believe it!
However, it isn't long before Christian contacts her again and it's obvious the chemistry is still there. When they start to talk about the relationship, he has a new proposal for her. Remember that submissive contract he wanted Ana to sign? Well he doesn't want that any more. If it means that she'll stay with him, for the first time he's willing to try more. I practically melted after reading that. After how alpha male and dominated Chritian was in the first book, even after he started to ease up, it was just one of the sweetest things I'd ever read.
While there are still some scenes that are not quite so vanilla in the book, the growth that you see in the characters learning to overcome their pasts (especially Christian) is really stunning. There are some extremely deep and emotional scenes that had me absolutely addicted and in love with these characters.
One thing I really liked is the thought process that Ana goes through in both this book and the first book. Christian is definitely not an easy person to date with all of his personal issues he is trying to overcome (and trust me they are well founded) and despite Ana being absolutely in love with him, it doesn't make her blind to all of the issues. She has doubts and fears and issues of her own that she has to overcome in the relationship. There are moments where I find her to be over reacting to a couple situations however, however I loved that she actually had to sort through and face these issues. These issues really make me feel closer to the characters and sympathetic to what they were feeling.
This book had me hooked. I was reading constantly and in every spare second. It was just as addicting as the first book and just as intense and deep, even after getting to know the mysterious Christian more. It's another must read if you are looking for an intense and steamy romance.
