Publisher's summary

See the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey - a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of listeners around the world.

Look for E L James’ passionate new love story, The Mister, available now.

Their scorching, sensual affair ended in heartbreak and recrimination, but Christian Grey cannot get Anastasia Steele out of his mind, or his blood. Determined to win her back, he tries to suppress his darkest desires and his need for complete control, and to love Ana on her own terms.

But the horrors of his childhood still haunt him, and Ana’s scheming boss, Jack Hyde, clearly wants her for himself. Can Christian’s confidant and therapist, Dr. Flynn, help him face down his demons? Or will the possessiveness of Elena, his seducer, and the deranged devotion of Leila, his former submissive, drag Christian down into the past?

And if Christian does win Ana back, can a man so dark and damaged ever hope to keep her?

This audiobook is intended for mature audiences.

Better than the original!

I’ve read the original series countless times. I’M THRILLED TO HAVE CHRISTIANS POINT OF VIEW! So much better in my opinion. Please E.L. make freed for his POV! People knock it all the time but I love the story 🙈

Eye Opening~

After reading the series from Amna's point of view reading Christians side is eye opening. He is much more vulnerable than I imagined. it was refreshing and more emotional for me learning more about t he man.

I would not normally contemplate reading a series twice from different perspectives but I couldn't help getting inside Christians mind.

I love all the Gray

I love all the Gray stories. I don't care what anyone says, I love this story and all of them. You either love FSOG or you hate it. I personally love all things FSOG. Keep up the good work Mrs. James!

I love this book

I found Christian's point of view to be a perfect compliment to Ana's. I actually like Christian's better. I love his character. He makes sense to me psychologically. There is a lot of sex in the story but youthful people in love have lots of sex, but that doesn't drive the story for me. I enjoyed the self-discovery and growth of both And and Christian. I have also fallen in love with Zachary Webber's style. He just added so much to story. I love repeatedly immersing myself in the world of Christian and Ana.
