Book Review - Fifty Shades Freed

I'm so glad I'm done my CMA exam so that I can relax and read! I got through the third book in the Fifty Shades series just as quickly as the second one. These are FAST reads.

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read below the picture if you are planning to read this novel and don't want to know details about what happens.
The book opens into Ana and Christian's honeymoon, which makes me want to win lots of money and go on a European vacation on a gigantic yacht with Tim. Their honeymoon gets interrupted by Jack, who has started a fire in one of Christian's server rooms. It's when they're playing back security footage that Ana recognizes Jack. To make matters worse, now that they know someone is stalking them and possibly trying to kill them, Ana's stepdad gets in a car accident and is in an induced coma for three days. Then Ana finds out she's pregnant and Christian goes ballistic. Finally, Jack kidnaps Christian's sister and Ana makes a hero play to get her back, going in alone to take him $5 million dollars. Ana shoots Jack just as Christian and his security team are getting there. She winds up in the hospital and everything winds up being okay. The book finishes with a nice little vision of Ana and Christian at their new place playing with their son with another child on the way. It's all very tidily wrapped up. 

The one thing I really didn't like about this book was the jumpiness. They would be in one storyline, and then they'd jump back. They'd come back to the present, then jump back again. I don't like choppy scene writing like this. The occasional flashback, or putting the first part of the climax at the beginning and then unraveling the story towards that, I'm okay with. But with this book it was every few chapters they were mauling the timeline.

Other than that it was good. Enough sex to keep your heart racing, enough action to keep it interesting and not just about the sex. I found this trilogy really entertaining!
