    My DH has been doing a training course for work this last fortnight, so catching peak hr trains. He commented yesterday about the amount of them he sees on the train.. He is intrigued, but not enough to read..

    I am reading to see what the hype is about. I don't really like the way it is written, but considering I haven't read a book since my DS was born nearly 3 yrs ago, it is ok..

    I've just finished it today.

    Overall I liked it. The way it was written wasn't fantastic but the emotion & urgency between Grey & Steele had me intrigued.
    I downloaded it Friday night & finished it at lunchtime today, I plan on reading the other 2 books but I think my poor eyes need a rest!

    There are a lot of happy husbands out there! My two SIL's have read them too and so has one of my friends.

    I have finished them all and am missing Mr Grey!

    I'm getting my set back this arvo ...

    It will be a competition between Grey and Hunger Games ...

    I wonder who will win?

    Or maybe I should alternate a chapter for a chapter, and just see what happens ...

    BTW: last night I was learning how to use the pottery wheel, and the building and crushing stages are really, really phalic ... might have a new meaning next week!!

    Yeah me too, parts could have much better written she got Mr Grey's character spot on but the writing can get repetitive. I don't like some of the terms she uses or the inner goddess references.

    I was going to download this on my kindle, but then when I searched for it a whole heap of other erotica come up as suggestions so I've been reading those instead Have found some excellent authors too. Now I just have to make sure I don't lend my kindle to anyone for a look LOL - I have them hidden within a category called 'Uni' but I don't know how successful that will be.
