About this eBook

Young, arrogant tycoon Earl Grey seduces the naïve coed Anna Steal with his overpowering good looks and staggering amounts of money, but will she be able to get past his fifty shames, including shopping at Walmart on Saturdays, bondage with handcuffs, and his love of BDSM (Bards, Dragons, Sorcery, and Magick)? Or will his dark secrets and constant smirking drive her over the edge?

Ratings and reviews

This is by far the best parody read ever! Having read the FS trilogy, and remembering each incident being twisted into a comedy had me holding my sides and laughing out loud even at work! I love it and have recommended it to plenty of people. It reads like a real comedy movie like Date Movie or Naked Gun 2 1/2 cause that was my favorite :) anyway book is awesome!!!

I had never read a parody novel, but this book was hilarious. Irritated people with my constant guffawing. The social issues of fifty shades are addressed well, without being preachy at all. Fantastic book; definitely a must if you don't take yourself too seriously and love to analyse pop culture while not being a douche

By far one of the funniest books ive read this year. I hinestly cant remember a book that made me laugh so much.
