Short Synopsis: Ana is dealing with the aftermath of her break up with Christian, until she meets up with him once more. Christian can't stop thinking about Ana, and proposes a different proposition.

My Thoughts: Another breathtakingly awesome read by E.L. James. Once you get used to all the sexual encounters, it really is a great read!

Ana is devastated by the outcome of what happened in their relationship. Having lost weight, and wallowing over the loss, Ana finds it rather hard to move on. But Christian becomes rather unavoidable when Ana needs a ride to Jose's art show gallery.
Upon seeing Ana again since the week Ana left him, Christian is bound to keep Ana, and proposes a new proposition. Ana agrees, and they rekindle their affair. But she can't help but notice all the excess baggage that comes along with being Christian Grey's girlfriend. Like the fact that "Mrs. Robinson" is still an influence to Christian, and Leila, a past sub who happens to be stalking them.
But Ana has her own problems to deal with as she works at SIP and her boss sends mixed signals, and seems to have a bipolar attitude. Upon everything else, Ana discovers more about Christian's dark past, and Christian also comes to a close call with his helicopter, Charlie Tango. Ana must survive Christian's past, before she can look forward to their future. 

Another drama filled read in this latest installment. As soon as I read the end of the first, I knew I had to devour this one too! I found this novel a little bit predictable at times, but was still very entertaining nonetheless. 

Ana's world is meshed with Christian's once more, and with all the dangers that it comes with being Christian's girlfriend, she wouldn't be able to survive without him. Ana experiences what life was like in Christian's past through his ex-girlfriends, and she still can't help but be a little jealous that these girls still had a place in Christian's heart. 

Though the reader experiences a lot of jealousy on Christian's part, in this book, Ana is swayed by her strong feelings of dislike of these girls. We get to read a lot of ups and downs, a lot of surprises in this novel, and the fact that Christian starts to become very protective of Ana does not go unnoticed. 

Admittedly, this novel was a little bit harder to get through, but as I read on, I was more entranced with the story behind all the sex scenes. I wanted to find out what happens next, as Ana and Christian's relationship begins to grow, and the two cannot deny their feelings for each other. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but if you've read the first novel and loved it, this is one to definitely not miss. 

Would I recommend this book: Yes! (For Adults only)

Rating: I give this book a 4/5.
