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?

i knew i was in for a parody, but never having read or watched 50 Shades, I didn't really know what the parody was. the narrator read beautifully and was quite articulate; the variety of charachter voices was surprisingly fitting.

Laughably Erotic

I was ready for it to be over by the halfway point, but there was still so much more. 😅 It just kept going and as someone who's never watched/read 50 Shades OR Twilight, I can only imagine how perfectly awful this combination was. 🙈 With his disturbingly long fingers and sometimes shimmering skin... it was truly a literary masterpiece. I started trying to tag funny parts, but then realized it was cackling almost nonstop, so I stopped.

For real, it's just stupidly funny. Sooooooooo over the top. 😆 3⭐️ is still a great book in my mind, but it was so much I actually had to turn it off a few times for a breather. lol

is it possible to be TOO hilarious?

An impulse buy from years ago, during my 'vitriolic anti-Meyer teen' phase. The premise is a little dull, and the satire is not quite biting, but the narrator herself has enough fun to let you do the same.

I have never heard such a fantastic, hilarious book. I can only hope for more.

This book parodies the Fifty Shades of Grey series, but I can’t decide which is worse Fifty Shames or the source material it parodies. This book derives it’s humor from pop culture references which within 10 years will be largely forgotten.

This book offers nothing

This is a silly story but I enjoyed it. It's a laugh out loud story. Do not add this to your library unless you are ok with the silly and ridiculous. I would love to read another parody from this author.

this book will keep you guessing on what will happen next, love the exploitation of romance stereotypes. had me laughing and smiling almost the entire time. if you like serious books this is not for you but if u like to laugh, definitely recommend.
