It’s simply impossible to have a favorite scene…maybe top 25, or even top 10. But, absolute favorite? Just can’t make a choice. And I’ve really TRIED to decide on a favorite, but every comment has changed my mind. The trilogy has changed my life in such an emormous way, its story is amost sacred to me. But, in order to qualify for the “signed” set, I’ll offer ONE of my most loved scenes (and what appears to be most loved by almost eveyone else). It is truly what most every young heterosexual woman would like to receive…her ultimate marriage proposal from the man of her dreams. “Anastasia Steele. I love you. I want to love, cherish, and protect you for the rest of my life. Be mine. Always. Share my life with me. Marry me.” Christian Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, Chapter 22.
If I have to pick a favorite scene it’s in the last book when they are in the meadow playing with their son. It shows how great of a father Christian turned out to be although he was terrified of being a parent.
I so hate being last minute, but I didn’t think it fair to comment without finishing the last book… (I started the Fifty Shades Trilogy last week). So, I brought my Kindle Fire to work with me and have just now finished reading the last book. That said, I (like many others) found so many parts worthy of comment. My all time favorite “scene” was in Fifty Shades Darker when Christian dropped to his knees in a submissive pose to Ana at the point he feared she would “run” (again) following the Charlie Tango fire incident. That (to me) was most gut wrenching! I would also like to add that my favorite “page” was the final page in Fifty Shades Freed. On that page, the author, E.L. James,thanks her readers. She really, really thanks us! I have never seen this done in a book and was awed and humbled that she did it! Although it was very short and to the point, I felt her genuine gratitude and it made me proud to be part the this very special phenomenon! So, now it is my turn to say: Thank you E.L. James, from deep in my heart!!!
I have so many favorites – these books really opened up a new life for me that I can never thank you enough for Ms James. I guess one of my favorites would be when Christian was missing with Charlie Tango & he came home. I literally bawled like a baby when Anastasia saw him come in and Kate told her he was real. Such strong feelings. I also enjoyed the scene where Christian came out on the yacht to see Ana riding the jet ski, that cracked me up. My favorite sex scene would have to be the one where she’s on the table with the nipple clamps and the plug…oh dear, I’m getting all fired up again! Love love love Christian & Ana & all their email communicay, hysterical – laters, baby!
It has to be when Jack attacks Ana, after she shoots him, and Christian arrives, then in the hospital when Grace is talking to him…. “its taken twenty four years for you to let me hold you like this..” amazing books, so far I’ve had to buy four sets! I got mine on Kindle, then my aunt and 2 friends who I got hooked. Still have a re-read when feeling down, as always ends in a smile by the end of freed!
My favorite scene is when she is in Savananah at the hotel with her mom, and she sent him an emailand he responds This is not something I wish to discuss via e-mail. How many Cosmopolitans are you going to drink? CG. Holy fuck, he’s here. Omg I almost die!!!!!!
First of all, I absolutely loved the books so it’s really hard to pick just one scene.
But I think that the part that really got me was when Ana was in the hospital. Those bits an pieces of stuff that was happening around her. And when Christian asked if “Blip” was going to be fine. Honestly, I was thinkig at that point that she has lost the baby and that he would punish himself for it forever.
Oh I have another one… When Christian fell to his kneew in fron of here in submission. Some parts were just too intese. Books made me angry, sad, happy, everything. I loved it! Thank you! I have to go read them again now…
There are so many good parts in all 3 books but I guess I would have to go with when he takes her to the art show at the beginning of book 2. My heart was broken for her and to see him show how much he truly missed and needed her made me so happy.
There are so many great scenes in all the books, but there is something special about the first time he takes her hand in his. They are going for a coffee and he just holds onto her hand. The simplicity and the promise of what could come is lovely. The start of a romance.
Ooh this is going to be hard (pardon the pun) there are so many that make me smile, laugh and cry. The one that sticks out the most would be fifty shades freed “in the bank, when Christian if it was all about e money” My heart just stopped. And of course all the rides in Charlie tango
My name is Kristina Sandbrekkene Olsen. My favorite part of the book is their first meeting in his office. I love it! The way it is described is like I am there and I know how she feels. My favorite books of all time!
Hello. I love all the trilogy. It is difficult to pick up just one scene, but I have to do it, I choose the one when Christian drops to his knees and submits to Ana. I think this was the best way for him to show her how much he loves her and how afraid he was to loose her.
I have only had the chance to read book 1 but I think my favorite scene was when Ana got the best of Christian with the panties… she never asked for them back and he finally offered them… that showed power on her part..
hey,
my favorite part was and still is Christians fight for Ana at the start of the second book. I just loved it.
I adore the triology, they captivated me from the very begining. The love story gets under your skin and makes you want to keep reading and re-reading. I have so many favorite parts but if i have to pick one it would be in the boathouse of chapter 22 of FS darker when Christian says “Anastasia steele i love you, i want to love, cherish and protect you for the rest of my life.Be mine.Always,share my life with me, marry me.” In that one sentance christian is conveying everything,He has finally learned to let people in and more importantly love, when he thought it wasnt ever possible. Thank you for writing such a captivating and heartwarming triology x
wow, I feel like I could talk about this amazing story forever, I’m not easily touched by books or movies, and this one has definitely stolen my heart, there are too many beautiful moments and it’s hard to choose just one, but I think my most favorite one is when after they find Leila in Ana’s appartment and Ana comes home drunk, because she thinks he loves leila, and she feels like she’s not good enough for him, and then he thinks she’s gonna leave him again,I just love the way he proves her that he’s in love with her, and he’s so afraid to lose her that he’s willing to do anything for the woman he loves, and he’s so beautiful and vulnerable, like the little needy kid he used to be, it made me cry and fall in love even more with him, because that’s what every girl wants, every girls dream… I have read the books countless times, and I’m sure I will never get over how beautiful and sexy and funny they are, thank you for writing them, it’s my favorite story ever, and thank you as well for this amazing chance
Happy Valentine’s day, love from Mexico City xoxo
Sin duda alguna es Sumamente Imposible mencionar la mejor escena de la Trilogía, pero luego de Llorar y Reir con cada momento de nuestros protagonistas, Mi parte Favorita es Cuando están en la casa Nueva, Ana está sobre el prado y se acerca Christian con Ted juguetones a buscarla y entre ese hermoso compartir de los tres, él le pregunta por la hija… wow…. seis meses de embarazo de Phoebe, y llegan los recuerdos del nacimiento de Ted con las preocupaciones carateristicas del Sr. Grey…. Demasiado Emotiva y Maravillosa.
Sin duda alguna, que buen sabor dejó ésta saga… Ansío sus próximos escritos, mientras me sigo deleitando con mis 50 Sombras. =)
I’ve read these books about 28 times I LOVE the part when they go to Jose’s gallery night and he drags her out and pushes her up against the wall and kisses her! Then he’s holding onto to his knees all breathless!! Have me butterflies!! I love loads of parts but that one was HOT!! And came into my mind straight away!!! Xxxxx
The scene I love is when it’s Ana’s birthday and Christine has bought her the white R8 and taylor turns up init outside the office. I always smile at that because its so sweet.
Each scene from Fifty Shades Trilogy made me laugh, cry, steamy and content, but this particular excerpt from Fifty Shades Darker never leaves my mind or my heart. I felt every emotion that any woman could ever feel when reading this because this is the very point in which Christian opens himself up to Ana when she least expected him too, which reflected the trust he had and felt in her and allowed him to help her understand his boundaries. A very trusting, open and whole hearted ending to a chapter- he opened his heart to Ana and she remained strong and held back her emotions and tears to be his strength and might. At this point we also see a brave side to Ana’s character- her being his backbone and pillar of strength. Beautiful!!!
I mirror the line I’ve drawn on his left side. The trust he’s giving me is heady, but tempered by the fact that I can count his pain. Seven small, round white scars dot his chest, and it’s deep, dark purgatory to see this hideous, evil desecration of his beautiful body. Who would do this to a child?
“There, done”, I whisper, containing my emotion.
“No you’re not”, he replies and traces a line with his long index finger around the base of his neck. I follow the line of his finger with a scarlet streak. Finishing, I gaze into the Gary depths of his eyes.
“Now my back” , he murmurs. He shifts so I have to climb off him, then he turns around on the bed and sits cross-legged with his back to me.
“Follow the line from my chest, all the way around to the other side”. His voice is low and husky.
I do as he says until a crimson line runs across the middle of his back, and as I do, I count more scar marring his beautiful body. Nine I all.
Holy fuck. I have to fight the overwhelming need to kiss each one and stop the tears pooling in my eyes. What kind of animal would do this? His head is down, and his body is tense as I complete the circuit around his back.
“Around your neck, too?” I whisper.
He nods, and I draw another line joining the first around the base of his neck beneath his hair.
“Finished”, I murmur, and it looks like he is wearing a bizarre skin-coloured vest with a harlot-red trim.
His shoulder slump and he relaxes, and he turns slowly to face e once again.
“Those are the boundaries”, he says quietly, his eyes dark and pupils dilated….from fear? From .ust? I want to hurl myself at him, but I restrain myself and gaze at his in wonder. – E L James Fifty Shades Darker.
For myself, with this trilogy being the masterpiece it is, it’s just impossible to pick a favorite part. I think early on, we start to see Christian’s transformation when Ana is home in her apartment and texts Christian asking something like “why can’t you just stay with me?” And then he comes back and stays the night with her. Something a dom would not do. Extra add: Christian’s mom slaps Elena at birthday party and Ana yells “24,000″ at auction. That had me L’ingOL.
I love love love these books and enjoy re-reading them over and over. My favourite part at the moment (its changes everytime I read them) is chapter 16 of FSOG, Graduation Night where Christian spanked Ana 18 times then left after Ana rang her Mam and had a girlie chat with Kate with somw red wine and emailed Mr Grey after, she tells him she doesn’t like him and he asks why……’Because you never stay with me!’. Next yhing you know he’s there, argues with Kate and finds his Ana crying….I personally believe that is where Christian start to fall in love with Ana, he admits he’s bewitched by her and for rhe 1st time wants Ana to confide in him as to why shes crying xx
My favorite part of the Fifty Shades trilogy is the very beginning because I know I have all three books to read! I have read this trilogy six times and I know I’m not finished! These books helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I will forever be grateful!!!
I read each book three times and can’t wait to read them again. My favorite part would have to be in book three when Ana is in the Hospital and Christian will not leave her side and cries in his mother’s arms. When she awakes and runs her fingers through his hair and he is so relieved, there was nothing better! I read those couple of paragraphs over and over.
All the books were great !! Never could put it down !! My boys had to have microwaved chicken nuggets and were able to skip baths a few nights ..but we all got through lol. My husband however loved me reading the series ;-p my most favorite part Is when she gave him the key chain that said yes!! And the part that had me cracking up and hollering hell yea. Is when Anna tells off the engineer Gina with the blueprints !! Ms. James can not wait FOR MORE from you !! Xoxo
I have several fav scenes but just quickly thinking of one is when Christian returns home after Ana has told him she’s pregnant. Christian is drunk and slurring her name, Ana-stayshia. I love it when he jerks her forward and places his mouth on her belly, calling the baby an invader. Overall, its a really sad and cute scene I loved!
my favorite part was, when missis Robinson showed the real face at Christian birthday party and when Grace heard that.
Loved it all! Favorite part has to be the elevator scene though, nothing better than to rev us up during the first book! Thanks!
Is very difficult to choose one but…
…this is one of unforgettable scenes
first kiss, the elevator scene at the Heathman
(50 shades of Grey chapter 5)
…”I bite my lip.
“Oh, fuck the paperwork,” I growls. He lunges at me, pushing me against the wall of the elevator. Before I know it, he’s got Both of my hands in one of his in a viselike grip above my head, and he’s pinning me to the wall using his hips. Holy shit.”…
When they got back in the Heathman (50 shades freed chapter 18)
…”As we step into the empty elevator, I glance up at Christian. His eyes flicker
quickly down to mine, and he smirks again.
“Don’t,” he whispers as the doors shut.
“Don’t what?”
“Look at me like that.”
“Fuck the paperwork,” I mutter, grinning.
He laughs, and it’s such a carefree, boyish sound. He tugs me into his arms
and tilts my head up. “Someday, I’ll rent this elevator for a whole afternoon.”…
That was a “BOOM” pictures in my head. just perfect! <3 xo & THANK YOU For This!!!
I love the trilogy. I am reading it again for the third time. I cannot help myself. I love all the scenes, but my favorite is Christian and Ana playing pool. That is one of my favorites.
Although I love the tender moments I also love the humour, and the items Christian buys from the hardware store make me laugh my head off every single time *thunk*.
Hi I am from Equador. I really love all 3 books. I am always thinking about CG and the imposible dream witha night with him. but my fav scene is when Anastasia leaves Christian in the end of book 1. I cried so much when she put the plane in his office and she left the Scala. Ty ElJames for those wonderfull books.
My favorite part is actually the end of the trilogy, when she’s pregnant with their second baby and they are still having hot and heavy sex. I just love the fact that he can still please her despite her being pregnant and things don’t seem to change much due to her pregnancy.
My most favorite passage is at the end of the first book, after Christian used the belt on Ana to show just how much it could hurt and how Ana just unloads on Christian. I felt like a proud Mama! LOL You go Ana! I have read and re-read that part many times and it never loses its punch. Afterall, it is the turning point in Christian and Ana’s love story.
I love the whole trilogy, and very difficult to say which was my favorite part, because I love every line, every feeling writing. The part where Christian says he loves Ana made me cry too, showed that he was mistaken when he said that he had no heart.
He gazes down at me,his eyes wide and panicked,and all we can hear is the steady stream of water as it flows over us in the shower.
“You love me,”I whisper.
His eyes widen further and his mouth opens.He takes a huge breath,as if winded.He loos tortured-vulnerable.
“Yes,” he whispers.”I do.”
My name is Jessica I live in the US I fell in love with these books and the characters I will def reread these books again which I never do thank you for writing these books (: my fav scene out of all 3 books is the shower scene where christian finally tells ana he loves her for the first time it was breathetaking I wish you could make more!!
