Fifty Shades of Grey book 1 - book discontinued by Vintage Books - review by Kayci

If you are thinking of buying this book but are hesitant in purchasing it because of all the BDSM kink involved in the story line take the leap and jump right in. It is truly a love story. Though it could have been written with more finesse and class it is still a good read. Get your feet wet.

Christian Grey is a complex character. He is the man behind the title of 50 Shades of Gray. Like most men he has commitment issues. It might have to do with him being an adopted child. At work he surrounds himself with the iconic blonde hair hourglass shaped beauties but doesn't have sexual relations with any.

Anastasia Steele is a mousy brunette. The complete opposite of what Christian surrounds himself with at work. She fills in for her roommate and best friend Kate Kavanaugh (blonde hair beauty) who is sick, but not wanting to cancel the hard to get interview. What a good friend Anastasia is right? So she goes in prepared with the already typed questions Kate provided. Questions that Christian has heard all the time. But Anastasia is a rare gem and sparks Christians interest.

However he isn't trying to woo her with flowers and wine. He wants her to sign a contract, about what he can and can not do to her. A sex contract basically. Little does he know Anastasia has never done this before. Christian finds out she is rarer then he first imagined, and she has never been with a man. She is a virgin. So he is a little bit more understanding as to her hesitation of signing his BDSM contract. So he is now basically wooing her in the general way taking things a little more slowly. By the end of this book it is too much for Anastasia, and she breaks it off with Christian.
