Publisher's summary

More than 150 million copies sold worldwide.

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too - but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success - his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family - Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

This audiobook is intended for mature audiences.

Look for E L James’ passionate new love story, The Mister, coming April 16, 2019.

The reader killed this for me.

I love this story and have read it on my own twice. Unfortunately the reader killed it for me and I couldn’t even finish it. She made Ana sound stuck up and vain with her tones and inflection choices.

Intrigued!

Where does Fifty Shades of Grey rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The suspense that led to purchasing this book could have been what ruined it. It did. It. This is a truly great read. Easy to follow and leaves you wanting more at each page...

What other book might you compare Fifty Shades of Grey to and why?
For me, this book is like a CE Sandra Brown books I have read, like ENVY... Romance, what seems forbidden and things you want to question so you want to talk to the characters.

Have you listened to any of Becca Battoe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to other Becca Battoe read books. I like this one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
My only extreme action was to try new things with my mate.... Key word - WITH...
