I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought fifty shades grey. First off I thought it was young adult, nope, no way.
This is hard core adult romance with a heavy dose of SnM. I'm not sure I would have read them if I had investigated further but I'm glad I did. The writing left much to be desired, I mean pick up a thesaurus sometime and people just do not "gasp" often in real life and certainly not almost continuously like in the first book.
I really didn't love the first book but I liked the ending and it was all a good setup for the second book which I did really like. The third tired the stories up but was otherwise kind of boring. All in all, the characters and overall story are great, the sex was not my style but wasn't too hard to stomach.
These are not high in my recommendations list but if you are looking for a new type of romance and kinky doesn't turn you away you may enjoy these, just be sure to at least read the second.
