A Goodreads user asked this question about Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1):
I just loved this book! Everyone I told about reading this book, were looking at me like crazy. First because I am a teenager and second because, you know, it's really intense. But that me! No, I am not a pervy but I love sensational and intense romance. I recommend it to anyone who wants dirty thoughts with a gentle handsome man who deep inside he's deeply hurt and wounded, but his real heart is pure <3
amaya the cactus I lived with a Christian Grey for seven years - poorly-written pseudo-BDSM aside, he IS my ex-husband. Had I not left him, I wouldn't be alive today.

T…moreI lived with a Christian Grey for seven years - poorly-written pseudo-BDSM aside, he IS my ex-husband. Had I not left him, I wouldn't be alive today.

This is not sweet. It isn't fun. It isn't protective, it isn't justifiable. His heart is not pure, he enjoys seeing someone suffer at his expense & attempts to render this 'OK' by falling back on that 'wounded, tortured past' rubbish.

Regardless of anyone's past, a person should ALWAYS strive to be - and is absolutely capable of being - better than those who hurt him or her.

It was not romantic. It's a nightmare, and thank god I'm still here to say so.(less)
