    I just started reading this book. I confess I was curious. I have to say I have read romance books which are written better. However FSOG is a bit spicier than Eastenders so, what the heck. :rotfl:

    p.s. If they make a movie of the book I would like to see the actor who plays Eric in True Blood (Alexander something...) doing Christian. Eye candy pretty enough to forget about the silly plot.

    He's a billionaire, good looking, with a helicopter and a impressive erm, y'know. :p

    You want more? :rotfl:

    OK, how about most women have at least had some kind of fantasy about being bossed about and told exactly what to do in sex?
    And he's a bit of a bas****, women like that in fantasy men. :D

    He also wouldn't want me to have a job, friends or social life, would choose all my clothes for me, pick which birth control method I used without any regard for my opinion (especially considering it's me who'd be suffering the side effects!) and eyeball me constantly every time I sat down to eat until I ate enough to meet his approval. No thanks!

    Ahh, but when women say things like, my husband could learn a thing or two from him, they usually mean the sexy bits, not the above :p

    Well then that is their fault as they aren't telling him what could be better.

    I just hope that there is not someone impressionable women reading it and thinking that everyone has a wooden cross on their wall!

    Now take him (oh my ;)) and put him in a trailer park with no job, a beer gut, a bed with broken springs and a 'toy box' under it. Now he's a dirty perv :rotfl:.

    I read them because of the hype. Wasn't exactly life enhancing but I found some parts interesting. Basically though she didn't have the guts to see through her fantasies. As to what he looks like:

    THIS End of argument :D.

    Back to Jeffrey Deaver methinks :).

    Hahaha...excellent! :rotfl:

    I haven't read FSOG but I don't generally like "women's" erotica. It's always full of carp like..."He gently but firmly tied her wrists with his £300 silk Jermyn Street tie" or "his throbbing manhood caressed her silken thighs" etc etc etc.

    What's wrong with a fit mechanic tying you up with a Halfords tow-rope? Or a plumber with a six-pack and a roll of duct tape? ;)

    They probably tell him all the time, it's called nagging.

    Come on then all those who've had a go at me for trying to explain why all these women like Mr Gray. Maybe you could explain it?
