He’s still incapable of letting her get on with things without interfering (you’ve got to love a guy who buys the company you work at, just to keep an eye on things). They’re not having quite as much dirty sex as they were but the tensions are still there. At the same time, a lot has stayed the same. Successful businessman Christian is still our tortured hero and Ana, now in her first proper job, remains our befuddled heroine but they’re not Christian-and-Ana any more having parted ways at the end of book one. Perhaps unusually for a follow up it’s not months or years later, in fact just a few days have gone by. Not a lot of time has passed since the first instalment of Ana’s adventures with the man she calls Fifty Shades.

Summary: What Christian and Ana did next, this is just as satisfying as the now iconic first book, but with some brilliant extra plot twists outside the bedroom.
