I tried reading it, and I hated it. To my mind, it's a story about an insecure girl that falls for a man based on his success & wealth, doesn't think herself attractive enough for him, lives to fulfill his sexual desires, lets him treat her like crap and supposedly loves every minute of it. It's really just glorifying an abusive relationship, imo.Smut is fine, if it's done right, but what is erotic about this poor girl that can't say no and just gets used up by a man who thinks he owns the world?
While I agree that it is exploitative and smutty and not the most well written I still found enjoyment in it. I actually liked seeing how their relationship developed through the books such as him opening up to her about his childhood and the main character learning about herself. Of course it has plot flaws and I do agree the main character is week and Gray takes advantage of her but if you can read it for the entertainment it is intended to be you might just like it.

Well, call me old fashioned, but personally I just don't find exploitation all that entertaining.
