I also liked seeing how his mind works with his surprises for his girl, especially his surprise for her in the boathouse! *Swoon* I liked seeing his true feelings when it came to those around him Ana, his family, and even Elena! And, he’s a lot mushier in his thoughts than I ever would have expected when I read the original books! It was kind of heartbreaking to realize that he didn’t think anybody loved him and it was a joy to see him discover how many people truly do care for him.

I kept trying to remember when certain events in the story happened and relate them to where I was at in the book … of course I also kept thinking of events in the final book and telling myself I have to wait! It’s great to see Christian evolve as a person and the childlike wonder he brings to the story as he discovers love and more importantly someone who can love him in return. Just like it was with Grey (the retelling of Fifty Shades of Grey), I really enjoyed revisiting the story and seeing it through Christian’s eyes. For instance, we get to see Christian’s crash in Charlie Tango through his terrified eyes and the conversation between his mom and him at the end of the book after Grace discovers his past relationship with Elena. We don’t get a whole lot of extra scenes, but there are some. So yes, this is Fifty Shades Darker … the exact same storyline … told to us once again. No one can love a monster, no matter how compassionate they are.”

She doesn’t know what I’m capable of, or why I do what I do. How could someone as sweet and wonderful as his Ana ever love someone as dark and demented as him?

This book is a retelling of Fifty Shades Darker, this time we hear it from Christian himself!Īna has left Christian after he went too far with his punishment, despite her telling him to do his worst.
