The first volume left us on a particularly unbearable cliffhanger, I did not wait long to throw myself on the action! This second volume resumes immediately after breaking Ana and Christian, while the young woman had fled, unable to stay longer with the man she fell in love, but could not bring her what she wanted. After a week in a fog of pain, Christian reappears, she also unhappy and desperate to return the young woman in his life, even if it requires a different kind of relationship and a contract ... very different . The author here discusses the turning point in their relations, which is based primarily on the desire to keep Christian Ana with it, whatever the price. Our two heroes will try to reconcile their desires, to understand one another and communicate. Christian Grey is equal to itself. (On) protective of the young woman, he has the means and did not deprive, while Ana is doing everything to keep their heads above water and understand the dark sides of the man she can not happen. The plot becomes denser while the past of Christian gradually catches up and endangers the already fragile relationship. The mysterious Ms Robinson appeared, and other shadows of the past ^ Christian. Again, the game emails and sms (especially important in the heart of the plot) brings a touch of humor and freshness to the story. BDSM is less present than in the first volume - and for good reason - but always used with care. The sensual scenes are downright beautiful. EL James has a real talent for us to share the emotions of his characters.
