As I started I thought that there was no story, that it was just about sex, to be blunt. So as I went on I found, that yes there are some pretty steamy scenes, however we also go into the relationship between Ana and Grey, not just the relationship but the feelings of both characters, the author doesn't make it so obvious as some do by saying "oh I've never felt this way before." (except once at the beginning) but she lets the reader learn subtly by actions from Grey, which is unlike him. However the annoying thing about the writing: 90% of the time that they speak is either muttered, mumbled or whispered, honestly it's amazing if they can even hear or understand each other! Other than that it's a good book and I can't wait for the next two books.
