And marriage brings its own challenges.

As old rivalries and resentments endanger them both, one misjudgement threatens to tear them apart.

Can Christian finally be freed?

REVIEW:FREED is the third and final instalment in EL James’ contemporary, adult FIFTY SHADES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN erotic, BDSM romance trilogy told by Christian Grey.
Told from first person point of view (Christian) using present day and memories from the past, FREED focuses on Christian Grey-his feelings, his emotions, his need for control, and his desperate attempts to protect the woman he loves.
For readers and followers of the Fifty Shades of Grey series, FREED and FIFTY SHADES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN reveals a deeper side to the man many have grown to love or hate. We are up close and personal with his need and rationale for control; his heart breaking earlier years with a crack-addicted mother, and the grooming of an adolescent and impressionable young man to become a dominant with a sadistic nature.
FREED acknowledges Christian’s somewhat embattled relationship with his adoptive parents Carrick and Grace, and his inability to recall anything about the missing months while in the care of social services. While Christian is a man obsessed about our heroine Ana Steele, he is also a man struggling with the demons from his past that continue to control his present including his ongoing and unhealthy ‘friendship’ with Mrs. Robinson, a relationship from which he battles to let go.
FREED is a detailed, complex and long story line that reveals so much more about Christian Grey than was ever revealed in the original series including plenty of information about his work, and his need to amass a corporate empire. There is supplementary plotline not found in the original series release, as well as some additional content only found in the movie adaptation but now added to ‘enhance’ the story for interest and familiarity. FREED is an edgy and dramatic addition to Christian Grey’s POV.
