When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey, it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian's singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed.

Now, together, they have more-love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity, or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present.

Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, tragedy, malice and fate combine to make Ana's worst nightmares come true.

It took almost two months to be able to write this. Yeaah, I was not in the mood to write the review of this last book of Fifty Shades trilogy last year. I was gonna give up. Just let it go and do what I have to do now. However, the Christian effect is still happening to me especially for ‘some body parts’. Do not forget about all the fuzz from the movie set. And as today (I mean two days ago when I was writing this), they just released the first teaser poster and I was freaking out! Will you give me a break, Mr. Grey? No? Oh, okay. I’ll review the last book then :p

Fifty Shades Freed follows Ana and Christian’s honeymoon to Europe. Everything is perfect until Christian gets a call that informs arson in his office. Somehow Christian thinks it connects to the Charlie Tango accident. Then he doubled the security guards for his entire family, especially his wife. But it does not prevent Jack’s effort to go to his home to kidnap Ana or Leila’s surprise visit to Ana’s office. She brings her friend who also Christian’s ex submissive and reveals several facts that bothers Ana. Christian does not care much about it. All he cares is Ana’s safety. But he become a different person when finds out that Ana is pregnant.

I do not think Fifty Shades Freed is a necessary sequel. I mean, everything was good in Fifty Shades Darker and I wanna keep it that way. I do not want a further story about their problem with Jack or anything from Christian’s past as a sex master. I do not want to burst into jealousy again! I just love the happy conclusion that Ana and Christian have in second book. I still love this sequel though. Just not as much as I love the second one. The writing quality seem to back to the first book, it’s really bad, many repartition moments from Fifty Shades of Grey, and the sexy parts went crazier than ever. By the way, I skipped all of them. They just so . . much. Still I need a song to get me through the whole book. I listened to Hyolyn – One Way Love in a loop.

At last, though Fifty Shades Freed was lower than my expectation, I like it and still get me under Christian spell. I have no idea what would happen to my world when the movie finally came out. Oh, my favorite part? Still the email exchange between Ana and Christian. It is getting better when they have the same last name hihihi ;)
