Review of 'Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades, #2)' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Most of this book was meh, but there was one super hot ball-busting and economic domination moment.
In a scene of blatant and completely unrealistic wish fulfillment (which nonetheless gratified my prurient interests), Anastasia rebuffs her sexually harassing boss, and then when he tries to assault her, she actually remembers her self defense training and physically subdues him instead of freezing up and questioning herself. So far, a little far fetched, but it could happen, right? But then, it gets really unrealistic. The boss, not Anastasia, gets fired. Anastasia's otherwise abusive boyfriend doesn't victim blame her! Finally, when she comes in to work the next Monday SHE GETS PROMOTED TO HER FORMER BOSS'S JOB. While it's plausible she might be good at the job she's promoted into, her lack of impostor syndrome is just complete fantasy.
The rest of the books is Anastasia and her abusive boyfriend having vanilla sex …

The rest of the books is Anastasia and her abusive boyfriend having vanilla sex on top or inside of expensive objects. Probably hot if you have an expensive objects fetish.
