Review:






Fifty Shades Darker is book #2 in the Fifty Shades series. In this installment, Ana is dealing with the aftermath of breaking up with Christian. She is miserable and doesn't want to be without him. They rekindle their relationship, but there are a lot of emotional obstacles that Ana must get past.

I liked this book just as much as the first. After Ana left him, Christian realized just how much she meant to him. He has done a whole lot of growing emotionally, and reveals a softer side. He is willing to change his lifestyle for her, and she is trying to do a little compromising in the BDSM department. The sex scenes started becoming too repetitive, but their chemistry stayed sizzling all the way through.

I really enjoy stories with flawed characters. The more you get tho know Christian, the more you realize how messed up he is – but at the same time it makes you care about him even more.

I'm really curious where the next book will lead. This story could have ended with this one, except for the frustrating 2 pages at the end. I'm glad there is still another book though because I'm not ready to be done reading about Christian and Ana.
