Fifty Shades of Green


At the beginning I couldn't put the book down; it's naughty, intense and yummy. BUT the more I read the more I wondered; why a handsome, intelligent, mysterious guy with unique abilities to fulfill his dreams and live comfortably ever after, is not enough? Does he have to be disgustingly loaded with money in order to make the ladies drooling intensely? What is it with desirable guys and expensive cars, private helicopters, oh… and if this is not enough – a huge boat (and I'm only on the second book…there might be more surprises waiting around the corner). What’s next? A spaceship???  Does it add up some muscles to his already divine body? Does it bring him closer to God? Does money make it so easy to melt every inch in a young woman's body?
What happened to the Marlboro man? The rough, raspy, working hard guy who drives a big dirty sexy truck? Yes, the tanned guy who sweats while he's working out in the field, when it's unbearably hot or rainy. What's wrong with simple blue jeans T-shirt and some exposed muscles to increase the level of the adrenaline in our body? Is this an old school?
Don't get the wrong impression, I love this book. But when vanilla sex took control and my interest got lost in the "lovey dovey" scenes, I was taken aback by the many shades of green that overcame the gray. There were many ways to describe how rich heavenly Christian was. And although beautiful Ana never had interest in his money, it was very important to constantly impress her and us, the readers, until I almost forgot about fifty shades of grey.
So who is the desirable guy these days? The Marlboro man?  Fifty shades of green?  or Christian grey with fangs?

With that being said…I'm going back to the book…can't wait to bump into the next transportation monster that will add up another muscle to perfect Christian.
