Perfection.......
This whole series is worth more than 5 stars. It has been a suspenseful, passionate, thrill ride following Christian and Ana's romance. And now that we have come to the end, E.L. James does not disappoint. In most of the romances I've read, the story ends with the couple finally bridging their differences, or, whatever has kept them apart. But with this one, we finally get to see what happens past that moment. We get to see what is it like for Christian and Ana to solidify their relationship. They still have a few major bumps in the road to overcome, but I was bouncing in my seat happy to see their life past the moment of "will you marry me?" (My inner goddess went through a whole box of kleenex.) We really get to go all the way to the true happily ever after. I am so emotionally invested in this story that it will be hard to forget, and I will probably re-read it many times of the years. I hope E.L. James keeps writing and gives us some more great stories in the years to come.
The series as a whole is wonderful, don't shy away because of the erotic content. It truly is about overcoming one's own demons, doubts, trauma, and finding what we all want in life. Trust, love, happiness, and being cherished by the one person who takes your breath away........

What a dissapointment end to this series. I expected so much more and it was such a let down. I refused to think that this was a twighlight series similar until this book. I wanted this book to end in such a different way and it felt like the author was rushed into ending it. Don't get me wrong the ending is well ok. I had such a fun time getting to know these two that in the end it left me wondering about why Ana was so accepting. I wanted there to be a little more resistance with Ana and her beliefs. I wanted her to show a little more character and thought this book would give her some. Yes, Christian is such a hot and dreamy dominant but too bad Ana is such a boring and uncomplicated woman. I had high hopes for the ending but it was just blah.

Redundant and unnecessary. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this trilogy, and the end of this one was somewhat satisfying, but I was bored throughout most of this book. I wish the author had written the first two books as a single novel and left this waste of paper out of it.
I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I loved the third book! The first two books made this book so much more rewarding. I don't want to ruin the book for people who haven't read it yet....but I thought it had a perfect ending. I am one of those people who likes a happy ending with all loose ends tied up into a beautiful bow. If you like more of a tortured/tragic ending you will be disapointed. I like the fact that IMO this book had more of a storyline. The first 2 books were anticlimatic if you ask me. Christian has come along way with the love and help of a wonderful woman and his beautiful family.
The first book set things up, the second expanded and was a good read, the third was a total disappointment. It felt rushed and fragmented. If you were going to utilize a flash back then make it a dream like state or such with some meaning! And to end, thank you that's all for now, was so childish and almost berating of your adult readers. I felt like I had a flash back to forth grade. Get a better editing and proof reading team!
