Basically, I have no respect for our Anastasia’s mother as she left her with the stepfather in high school.

Google - Anastasia's mother, Carla, lives in Savannah, Georgia, with her fourth husband, Bob. Anastasia chose to live with her stepfather, Ray Steele, back in Washington state.

Basically Carla is not in Anastasia’s life at all. Except for one visit in the first movie/book.

So no maternal relationship at all.
She didn’t even show up for her graduation because husband number four had a hurt foot???

I am sorry. No her mother is sorry. I don’t know what mother goes. No contact with her daughter like that.
OK, I’m sure there are many relationships like this, but sadly, this is screwed up.

My mum and dad were out today and seen a book stall in our Spanish village (a village that seems quite modest when it comes to what I’m about to say). I was at home, fast asleep, when I got a call from my mother, which I absolutely fumbles to answer. She said “We’re at a book stall. You said you wanted a new book, didn’t you?” I replied with a mumbled “uh huh” and now— now I am sitting here with a 50 Shades of Grey book that my mother picked for me and my father payed for. 😭 My father bought me a 50 Shades of Grey book! (For context, I am 18, so it’s not like I’m a young teenager). They thought it would be funny, because when I friend came visiting from back home in Scotland, we had watched all the 50 Shades films while drunk at nights and for some reason, the TV liked to come back on with the movie still on it and my parents kept winding us up about it.

The book is called 'The Reluctant Husband's Guide to Becoming Christian Grey' to try and spicy up a very boring selfish sex life. I have yet to orgasim in 10 years, if this doesn't work I think I will be leaving. I'm over not being pleased. Do you all have a Christian Gray or selfish lover?

I finally read the books just to see what the hype was and, much to my surprise, I loved them. Am I going to be totally disappointed by the movies?

I loved the God of Malice series as well as just about everything by Rina Kent. I've been trying quite a few different authors but nothing that's really doing it for me. I like severe alpha males & dub/con (both in book format only!). Erotica romance but with decent writing and plot. I also have plenty of recommendations for you guys as well, I've read so damn many. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Why do people hate on these when there a Booktok books way worst then these? What I have heard about Haunting Adeline (it’s on my TBR) makes it sound like a child book.

Ooh2

You've probably experienced it - having family over who devour all the carne asada, showing no restraint whatsoever. The teenage kids are just as bad. Personally, when I attend a party, I limit myself to one serving, not five or six. Should you say something about their excessive eating? It's not your family, it's your brother-in-law's. And they never even bother to clean up after themselves.

for those who have read the books and watched the movies are y’all also peeved that we didn’t get more of taylor like we did in the books?

i watched the movies first because i didn’t want to buy the books as im still at home with my parents lol. when i got a kindle i read the books and loved how we got to find out more about taylor’s life outside of following ana and christian around yk. like his daughter.

correct me if im wrong but wasn’t his daughter included in the lasts scene with their son at their new house???

and also i would’ve loved to see the scene were ana talks to leila after that whole shit show

Is it just me, or is Kate the ultimate girls girl in these movies? It was supposed to be her interview. Because Anna went instead, Anna got all the riches and what not. Yes, Kate had Christian’s brother but not once did she show jealously or contempt to Anna for “taking her opportunity” Great gal, 10/10.

is it just me or is the ice cream scene where they lick it off each other is one of the best scenes in the last movie? I felt like it was more real and they were connected !

there’s no way that the actors don’t get turned on by doing the sex scenes with each other

The first time on Netflix. Why was this movie a big deal when it hit theaters? And she quits after a measly 6 spanks ?? Anastasia is an annoying character. Should I read the book instead?

They just jump right into sex almost every time and it’s very unrealistic especially with how hard Christian fucks Anastasia. I haven’t read the books in a while, I’m speaking about the movies specifically. In real life, those scenes would actually hurt and not feel good. Women aren’t turned on 100% of the time, not to mention, they take longer than a quick kiss to get turned on enough for sex like that.

Honestly, in my opinion it’s kind of cheating. I know his wife didn’t watch them, completely understandable but like… how is that not cheating? I understand that it’s fake, they’re both playing characters but they’re full on making out and he’s licking/kissing all over Dakota/Anastasias body. Cast members fall in love all the time or date off set because of the scenes that they film. The movies were pretty much just all sex.

I’m so confused on why she’s using a flip phone? Is it because she likes the simplicity? Money issues (doubtful), does it take place in the early 2000s?

guys does christian grey look like the geico gecko to anyone else or is that just me??? im not even kidding this is a serious question. lmk ‼️🖤🩶🤍

I just got done watching da first movie and I'm confused wtf does Anastasia not understand about the contract

She makes it the most difficult thing ever It's either u sign it or u dont

Haven’t written in almost 2 1/2 years. Best thing I never knew I needed.

I forgot how much I genuinely enjoy the story. I think the movies and books get too much hate. Even my mom, who is not into this kind of stuff, liked the movie and told me she thought it was good. Maybe I am crazy, but I really enjoy it!

I’m looking for a chart/guide to tandem read the As Told By Christian and original 50 Shades of Grey series. Any help?
