About this ebook

Now available in a single volume, E L James's New York Times #1 bestselling trilogy has been hailed by Entertainment Weekly as being "in a class by itself." Beginning with the GoodReads Choice Award Romance Finalist Fifty Shades of Grey, the Fifty Shades Trilogy will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

This bundle includes the following novels:

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: When college student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly Ana realizes she wants this man, and Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian's secrets and explores her own desires.

FIFTY SHADES DARKER: Daunted by Christian's dark secrets and singular tastes, Ana has broken off their relationship to start a new career. But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and while Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Ana is forced to make the most important decision of her life.

FIFTY SHADES FREED: Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to turn Ana's deepest fears into reality.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

Ratings and reviews

Awful. I'm so disappointed. Bad writing, repetitive, redundant, immature are just a few words to describe the overall writing of the trilogy. I couldn't make it past the first half of the first book so I skimmed past the rest just to finish the story. Its like a real life" twilight" feel. Just no vampires. Rich, fucked up guy preys on young girl. Just God awful. I'm giving 1 star when it truly deserves 0 just bc the author tried so hard to make the story interesting. Terrible!!!

But painfully reminiscent of Twilight in terms of a theme + all the "kinky f@#%!y". Overall, this series was a disappointment thad did not live up to the hype. Poorly written with halfway developed characters. I guess a good comparison would be the last few books of Southern Vampire Series. Just sort of blah. I think using and crippling a line from Star Wars, which happens in book three, should be considered sacrilegious.

I just bought the trilogy minutes ago and all of chapter one of the first book is missing... it seems many other people have this same problem.... To rate the actual book itself.. Well I barely started reading chapter one on an online website and so far the sentences are rather... Elementary. There isn't much variation in structure, but hey there are big words in there. Pretty sure the first couple chapters are gonna be just plot so I expect for the writing level to be taken up quite a few notches.
