Once again, this is some good smut with really bad story structure. It's just porn. Not my typical (and honestly, when it comes to the 90% porn 10% story, I've read better), but I still intrigued enough in this 2nd book to keep going. I'm terrible at stopping trilogies before I've finished them.
The drama in these books feels really forced (freak outs happening suddenly, or happening over and over again without real resolution). I hate that I need to know how this relationship ends. Lol.

Still impressed the second time through. The first time I read it I was so anxious to start the third book, not wanting anything to end, that I didn't really think through the ending a whole lot, just knew what was going on and ready for more. I thought towards the end that this book could have been it, and yes we would have wanted more but it would have been okay. Then she threw in the very last paragraphs and snap hooked completely! I thought Ana was a tad annoying in this book, which is the same as the first time I read it, but still good enough to keep going! :)

Here's the second book of the "Shades of Grey"-Trilogie and I have to say: I really love the books. I've already read them twice, but i never knew reading them again would be so exciting.
So the story of Ana and Christian continues and their relationship gets more serious than before. And if someone says "if you really love someone than you shouldn't ask them to change for you", just show them these book and they will overthink their opinion. Of course you have to change yourself a little bit, when you're in a relationship. That's what makes them so special! Someone loves you enough to abstain from certain things and try new things. That's what love is about.
I really had fun reading this book again and it was so exciting, because I knew certain things would happen and I always anticipated these moments. And I realised that Ana and Christian met just a few weeks ago! It's so crazy what can happen in this short span of time.
And yes I know, it's just a book, but the author just writes these books in a style, where you can loose yourself completly into the story.

I'm glad we got to know more about Christian and Elena. But I'm glad they left out some parts with Christian and Leila like him bathing her and dressing her... I don't know that bothered me. I found the parts about Ray in the hospital interesting and made me feel more connected to Ana and Christian and their relationship. But still I found them a bit one toned.
