Hi Louise.  Happy New Year!! 

Your story is an involved one and clearly takes a lot of time to work on.  Perhaps you can give us a quick post, from time to time, letting us know that you're still working on your story and have not abandoned it.

You have many, many fans, some of whom check frequently for updates on your story. 

 

thank you.

Fifty Shades...Clarity

Book II

A continuation of the Fifty Shades Trilogy

 

 

You will probably want to read Fifty Shades More before starting this one.

"I look  into his beautiful gray eyes and my heart melts. I still love this man. He taught me how to love. He gave me my precious children.  He tried to  lay the world at my feet and he gave me his love and his trust."  Christian has confronted his demons. Ana has accepted his past. But will Christian's past intrude on the future? Can Ana live with it, if it does?  This is Book II.

Fifty Shades...Full Circle

Book III

A continuation of the Fifty Shades Trilogy

*A Writer's Coffee Shop Featured Story May 2013*

Thank You.

This story  continues where Fifty Shades...Clarity left off. Ana and Christian have endured a hard year, scandal, heartache and Christian finally recognizing and  accepting his past  have plagued them. Yet they remain strong with their love for each other and  their family. Will new revelations tear them apart? Will the coming changes divide them or make them stronger?       This is Book III. You will probably want to read 'Fifty Shades More', Book I and 'Fifty Shade Clarity', Book II first. They are both posted here.

I suspect that Christian has spoken with Flynn and has expressed his disappointment in Ana and sought help with reconciling his sense of betrayal with his need to learn to forgive Ana.  That isn't something he's ever really had to do before.  Anyone else he can just remove from his life without regret but he knows he doesn't want to lose Ana.

Looks like both C and A have an opportunity to learn and grow.  Wish they'd get to it!

Poor Christian!!  seeing Tommy in so much pain must bring back awful memories for him.

Reviewer: Boots Hopson Signed
Date: 05 Jan 2013 Title: Chapter 41: Chapter 41

Clearly Christian needs to do more work re: his ability to handle emotions.  Paging Dr. Flynn!!  Fifty has always been manipulative and controlling but never really cruel to Ana.  Withholding affection and conversation from Ana and talking to her the way he has lately is treating her in the way that he might have treated his former submissivies. 

If I didn't think that Christian would win the war I'd like to see Ana pack his shit and send him off to a hotel.  But Christian would probably withdraw further and there might not be any coming home after that. 

Time to grow up, Chrisitian!

 

 



Author's Response:

You are right. And he'd probably just buy the hotel. Ana just wants her hjusband back. I don't think she cares who wins the war.

Dr. Flynn on the way.

Am liking this story arc, lots going on here with Lorna/Tommy and Christian's deal with Vanderburg.  That should keep us reading for a while....and you very busy writing!

Thank you for taking the time to allow us to indulge in our 50 Shades addiction.

I laughed out loud at Christian for paying Grace to let him wash her hair.  He may be a great negotiator but kids are the exception to all the rules!

Looking forward to more of your story!

hahaha, good to see that Christian's passion for control hasn't waned over the years and that his instinct to keep Ana close is alive and well.  That woman is going to give him a coronary one of these days.  Great story arc.

nice chapter!!  I'd forgotten all about Myra and Ray. 

I'm allergic to children and don't usually enjoy any story that includes them but I'll admit that it's good to see Christian & Ana happy.  But sometimes the domestic peace does get a bit boring......just sayin'.

Thanks for your story.....hope your holiday was a good one.  Happy New Year!!

 

 



Author's Response:

I know. But I have many who enjoy the domestic life and don't like the drama. I try to put some of both in for everyone. Hang in there. Things will get tense shortly.

Thanks.

Well, this is the Christian we all know but don't necessarily love.  He seems to manage quite well keeping himself from knowing the full truth about his past so perhaps it would be best for Ana to just leave it alone.  Maybe the pain of the truth isn't more than he can deal with but why put everyone thru the hell if it isn't necessary.  It's not likely that he'll leave Ana and the kids for good but is she really willing to take that chance?

I can't stand the waiting.  Damn it, Christian.  Go home!!

Good job with this story arc, by the way.

I don't know what made me check to see if there was a chapter today, I didn't expect one so soon but it being Saturday and their anniversary I thought you just might surprise us.  And you did !!  thank you for that!

I'm so happy to see Christian finally return home.  Did his mother call him and scold him?  I'm thinking after lunch she phoned him and he wrapped up and high tailed it back to Seattle. 

You wrote in your notes that there would be lemons in the next chapter.  What are lemons?  I've heard that word used in relation to writings before but have never seen it defined.   Thanks again for the continuing great story.



Author's Response:

I had to look it up on Urban Dictionary when I first started. Lemons are sex scenes.  They will be having make up sex. Why they are called lemons, I have no idea. I hope you are over 18.

So happy to see that Christian is home and all is well with their world......it's actually better now but it sure took a lot of pain to get there. 

Such a nice tart bedroom scene, no wonder it's called a Lemon!!

Thank you for the chapter!

 

 



Author's Response:

I've never understood where the term lemon came from. I appreciate you leaving a comment.

Thanks

I hope that Lorna gives up parental rights and Tommy joins the Grey clan.  Or at the very least that Ana keeps him safe while his future is determined by the CA courts....or he reaches 18 years of age!!  It's destiny that Christian should be directly involved with a child with a background like his.  Christian does a lot of charitable giving but that's indirected support....this would mean so much more.

The story is good...well paced and interesting with the several things going on with the kid and the merger.  Thank you !!

Christian ends up adopting a boy whose mother is a drug addict and who loves him but neglects him.  Is this how Christian's story ends up becoming "full circle"?

Thank you for your story.....enjoying it very much.
