Okay, I caved. I am going to suggest these books.For those of you who have already completed the series, I think you know why. For the haters out there, let me just say a few things:
1. I will not attest to the fact that this or any other modern romance novel is akin to true classic literature. Sure, it could be authored with a stronger aptitude for writing, but the fact is it is not. Take it for what it's worth.
2. Though the actual literary value may be debated, from a mainstream reader's standpoint, this book takes what we all once knew as a romance novel and turns it on its head. As far as I know, never before had there been a book that introduced the word of Dominant/Submissive relationships to this extent, and I for one learned A LOT about the people who live within such practices.
That being said, I am thrusting these Best Sellers in your face and telling you to read it. For the sake of your curiosity, for the sake of your marriage, for the sake of yourself. Just do it.
For those of you who have lived under a very large and soundproof rock for that past few years, this is a book about a girl who is just about to graduate college. She is described as somewhat homely, still a virgin, visibly awkward, etc. And then she meets the hottest guy in the whole world.
Of course, because this is how it happens in real life, you're saying. No, but get over yourself. It's still fun to imagine...
Long story short, she wants to be with this man, but he is fifty shakes off the crazy tree. They argue a lot and disagreements go places mine have never gone, but trust me, the make up is amazing. The three books follow the difficult journey set ahead of these characters if they ever have hopes of being together.
I suggest you read it, and preferably make sure you have a partner to share your bed with at night. Props, of course, remain optional.
Laters, baby.
