    Yes, I read it and the second book. Heard they were thinking of making it into a movie, at least the rights were sold. Don't know how that will get released based on the subject matter and explicit things!!! Not the best written book, won't go down in history as great literature, but damn, it was a fun read!! :wink:

    Read first and second books, there's a third I think. Got really boring TBH after the first book. Not sure what's the hype cos there are so many other better authors around on the same or similar subject matter.

    I read it, because I naively though that if something has a lot of hype, it must be good. (I made the mistake with "Twilight", and I apparently never learned my lesson.)

    It's basically "Twilight" with a lot of abusive sex that happens with the idea that the female character can "fix" the male. And there aren't any sparkly vampires, but let's be honesty, who misses those? It's like the character read "5 Love Languages", and decided to become this submissive, ridiculous character that has no personality because he's there.

    I don't know, I guess if there's an adult audience that digs the ridiculous codependent relationship in "Twilight", there will be one that digs it in this book. I did not, but unlike Whitney Houston, I'm not every woman.

    I have read all three books (when it was fanfiction - so with different names). Once it got deeper into the psychological side of the characters, especially Christian/Edward's, I enjoyed it.

    I just finished the first book last night. I was very captivated by the characters and the "forbidden love" and the "dark past" themes. Very entertaining, page turners. The book is often compared to Twilight and the leading male and female do remind me a lot of that series.

    I agree with some of the criticism that the author overuses some of the phrases "blushed, bit lip, twtichy palms" Also annoying that the editor didn't take out the British vernacular since all of the characters are American "ex. Pram, Cookery Book, etc)

    I just find it funny,all the women I know that are all nuts about this book are the same ones that consider porn cheating which furthers my opinion that most women are hypocrites


    ETA: if you didnt care you wouldnt have quoted me,you would have ignored what I said and moved on like everyone that commented after me,you must have cared a little:laugh:
