Now available as a three-volume paperback boxed set, E L James's New York Times #1 bestselling trilogy has been hailed by Entertainment Weekly as being "in a class by itself." Beginning with the GoodReads Choice Award Romance Finalist Fifty Shades of Grey, the Fifty Shades Trilogy will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever. This boxed set includes the following novels: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: When college student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly Ana realizes she wants this man, and Grey admits he wants her, too--but on his own terms. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian's secrets and explores her own desires. FIFTY SHADES DARKER: Daunted by Christian's dark secrets and singular tastes, Ana has broken off their relationship to start a new career. But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and while Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Ana is forced to make the most important decision of her life. FIFTY SHADES FREED: Now, Ana and Christian have it all--love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to turn Ana's deepest fears into reality. This book is intended for mature audiences.

"When these first came out I was obsessed. Love them and always will. My first really spicy romances. They introduced me to so many more yummy, really good spicy romances. They are really fun. I still love them to this day. Hope you read them@if@you have not. Don’t let the movies deter you. The movies suck for me. But the books are great. Enjoy. "

"I thought at first it was interesting, it pulled you right in with a mysterious Mr. Grey. But as soon as you learn his secret its the same thing over and over again until you get to the middle of book three and I almost didn't make it that far. Oh one more thing the only cus word in this whole entire series that she knows is the f bomb and I'm so tired of it. Get a wider vocabulary. But if you can get passed all that it's an okay one time read."
"The books are the right amount of tension and release. ( hahaha, see what I did there?) If men want to know what most women want they should read this book. I bookmarked some pages myself. It’s sexy and surprising. What woman wouldn’t want a man to learn her the way Christian does?!"
"As head of Adult Services for my library, I routinely assign my staff the, "Never in a Million Years" challenge: read and review a genre or author you would never normally consider. In order to set an example, I have perused [a:Clive Cussler|18411|Clive Cussler|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1225620641p2/18411.jpg], (better than expected) [a:James Patterson|3780|James Patterson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1468347205p2/3780.jpg] (far worse) and urban Christian fiction (stereotype busting). But my biggest challenge was taking on [b:Fifty Shades |13584236|Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades, #1-3)|E.L. James|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1431573483s/13584236.jpg|19171215]. To my complete and utter surprise, I found myself hooked. Not by the sex (which quickly becomes monotonous) nor the prose style ("Oh my!" being the heroine's response to extremes of hunger, titillation and nausea), but by the kooky romance.<br/><br/>For that is indeed what this is: a romantic comedy with occasional weird sex. How else to describe a scenario in which the brooding mysterious hero has just gotten his shackles on Our Heroine, only to discover his mother has dropped by for an impromptu visit? Or flirty emails from "Twitchy Palm CEO"? This is more [b:Bridget Jones|884776|Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason|Helen Fielding|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1179179917s/884776.jpg|1285437] than Bondage Weekly.<br/><br/>The tone and genre shift dramatically around the midpoint, as various shady characters threaten the lovers (hint, paraphrasing Chekov: if a gun is mentioned in Act I, it must be fired by Act V), and as we realize that Christian's...predilections are the result of child abuse and an underdeveloped ego. There's also a lot to process about the heady mixture of sex, money and power which Christian attempts to hold over Anastasia, and the clever ways she defies him. Yet really, what it all boils down to is the classic romantic fantasy: impossibly rich, handsome, alpha male inexplicably falls for plucky Every Girl. And despite the atrocious prose, I kept reading, because I wanted to know if these two crazy mixed up kids would make it work."
"I did read all 3 books just to see how it came out. If you're wondering, yes it's FULL of sex. Like every single chapter. Many times in a single chapter. There are so many sex scenes, which makes me feel like he included them as replacement for an actual story! I'll be honest & say that after a while you're like, ugh, give it a rest already! The ending...Well, when ****'s all over, we get a weird-ass epilogue. Gross!"
"Absolutely love these books!!"
