Make sure you have all 3 books in your possession or at least the first 2 with third in buying/ borrowing range. They are rather lengthy books about 500 pages. I found the climax in book 1 came on the next to last page and was happy I had the 2nd book so I could start reading immediately.

Fifty Shades Trilogy
1. Fifty Shades of Grey
2. Fifty Shades of Darker
3. Fifty Shades of Freed

Meet Anastasia she is a simple girl getting ready to graduate from College and start her new adult life. She has lead a very quiet life. Her roommate asks her to do her a favor and interview some rich billionaire for the school newspaper. Sparks fly between Ana and Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey is dark, secretive and controlling. Will Ana be lead into Temptation?

Had to read the books because everywhere I turned people were talking about it. I was a little disappointed. Yes, there is sex on almost every page but unless you are into that kind of Sex it will do nothing for you.
I kept screaming walk away. I found her too weak and him too controlling. My mental picture for Mr. Grey was Robert Pattinson. I found out later that the books were fan fiction, based on the Twilight characters.
