Description:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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?

Reviews:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parodies of best sellers are hot items these days, and E. L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey erotic trilogy was just begging for a spoof.

--Craig Wilson in USA Today

Erotica is hard.... Comedy is harder. If anyone can pull this off, it’s Andrew Shaffer.

--Paul Bogaards in the New York Times
