ritasreadingcorner's review against another edition
5.0
I can't believe I finished reading this book! What am I going to do with my life now that I read the whole triology?? I loved this book, just like I loved #1 and #2. It was perfect.
To be honest I didn't like very much the writing in the beginning and in the ending of the book though I understand why it's written that way. It begins with Anastasia and Christian's honeymoon's ending and there are flashbacks of the proposal, the next morning, the wedding and some of the other days of their honeymoon. I understand that it was more than a month of story and it would be a bit boring, but still... I would've liked to read a bigger description of their wedding.
I loved Anastasia and Christian together. They were very happy despite some arguments.
It's sad how they can be in such a good mood with each other when it's just the two of them, when they're inside a bubble, and then all the stability vanishes when they go back to the real world.
Anyways. Just like I was already expecting, Jack was the one who was trying to harm Christian. I thought it was because he fired him, but after all it was much more than that. Christian and Jack had been together in a foster home and Christian was the one who was adopted by Grace and Carrick. Everything Christian had could've been Jack's. I'm glad things went that way. Jack was a gross psycho. When Anastasia went drinking with Kate and Jack went to Escala to kidnap her thinking she was there, I'm really glad Ryan caught him. I'll get back to his.
I loved when Christian surprised Anastasia and took her to Aspen with Kate, Mia, Elliot and Ethan. It was so cute! I had a huge grin on my face, specially when he grabbed her and took her to the room in front of all that people. Ethan's reaction was hillarious. He was so shocked! I particularly like their cute moments in public - I don't really know why. Everything in their little trip was perfect - except when that pervert touched Anastasia while she was dancing and she thought it was Christian but it wasn't and then she slapped him and Christian kinda wanted to kill the asshole. I was worried Elliot was getting tired of Kate and I was really sad when Ana saw him with Gia. I thought he was cheating on her. I mean, I REALLY liked them together, so I was hysterical - in a good way, of course - when he suddendly asked her to marry him during the dinner. I have to admit it was emotional.
Then there was Ray's accident. At first I thought Jack had something to do with that, but thank God I was wrong. Ana needed Christian and he was very sweet with her as also was Grace. I love Grace, by the way. They both did everything they could to help Ray get better. Christian managed to give Anastasia a great birthday party when she was so sad and worried about her father. He took everyone there: her mother, her stepfather, Kate, Mia, Elliot, Ethan... Even José and José Senior! He really loved her. And his birthday presents to her...! Oh my God. The bracelet was perfect, it had love written all over it. And the R8! Kate's reaction when Ana told her about the car was hillarious.
And suddendly... BOOM! Ana is pregnant! Oh boy... I don't think it was really her fault. Christian's reaction made me really sad. I understand he was upset and afraid and all that crap, but seriously, dude! He didn't have the right to do what he did to Ana. He was an idiot. He went to see Elena! That kinda was the biggest mistake of his life. And the bitch tried to seduce him! WHAT THE HELL? BACK OFF, YOU WHORE. I hate that woman so much I don't think it's healthy. Thank God Christian backed her off and told her he would never see her again. That's righ, bitch. Bye-bye. Then he went home drunk and all that crap happened. I don't know why he tought he had the right to be mad at Ana.
Now it's time to get back to Jack. Elena's ex-husband bailed him out and give the son of a bitch the opportunity to accomplish his goal. With Elizabeth's help, he kidnapped Mia and asked Ana for 5000000$. Then that little annoying man from the bank called Christian and told him the amount of money she was asking for and he though she was leaving him. Damn, that was painful to read! But Christian realized something was wrong and Anastasia was smart and everything ended up ok. Well, not really, because Ana was beaten up and she had to go to the hospital, just like Mia. However, one good thing came out of all that: Christian finally realized how much Anastasia loved him. After all, she risked her life to save his sister.
Things finally started to calm down between Ana and Christian and they forgot all the drama. He also started accepting the baby, which was great.
In the end there was again that thing I didn't like very much, those flashbacks to their last night in Escala, Ted's birth and I guess that was all this time. Once again I understand why it's written that way: those nine months of pregnancy would be boring to describe, just like the years that passed. E. L. James was just trying to show us that they were happy and their relationship was perfect. Ted was a sweet boy. I'm not sure if Taylor and Gail got married, but if they did, well... great!! I guess Christian liked being a father, since Anastasia was pregnant again! I was also very happy to know that Kate and Elliot had had a daughter. So sweet, those two! I didn't understand if Mia and Ethan ended up together, but since they were holding hands after the kidnapping, I assume they did - and I hope so.
These three books surprised me - in a good way, of course. I never thought I'd like them so much, but I really do. I love them! I think I'll read them more times because they're to good for me to stay away from them. :)

cosymilko's review against another edition

I started to read this book and then I realised that all the reasons I'd been holding on and reading the first two were gone. The bdsm was all but traded in for a white picket fence and a superficial love affair built on his need to be loved and her need to feel needed. The one character that was messing with the two main characters was out of the plot, and the new antagonist was rubbish.
Awesome, right?
You just want to curl up with the mediocre toilet paper with a pretty cover?
I tried to read this. I wanted to find something redeeming. I didn't. I'd rather read Midnight Sun or whatever that twilight thing was from Edward's point of view. No. I'd rather not read either, but I had to think up something comparable.

Das bestimmt spannendste und weniger perverse/sexuelle Buch von der Trilogie mit einem zuckersüßen Ende.

Not changing my rating because in the end it left me kind of meh. The characters were making a good progress over the second book, but in this one I felt like they were going backwards. While Ana got bolder and more assertive of her own thoughts, Christian turned more strict and restrictive. While the evolution of his character over the three books is amazing and the best of this trilogy, I really couldn't empathise with him this time around.

OMG!!! I just love this series. This book made me laugh and cry, made me feel like I am with Christian and Ana. And the finish was just breathtaking. I wonder honestly if a fourth book will come up soon. I want to know more about the life of the Greys :D

Didn't enjoy this one as much as the other two. Not enough inner goddess moments and certainly not enough exchange of emails.
All in all not a bad series and definitely not as bad as I thought it would be.

3.5. Similar to my thoughts about the second one, but this one was even more annoying with the immaturity. It is interesting rereading these as an adult because I never noticed how immature Anna is before lol. I also wasn’t able to get as emotional invested in this one as the others.
