What happens to four middle-aged baseball moms when Fifty Shades of Grey hurtles into their lives?
They get hotter than a pack of June brides.
Resolving their hunger is easier said than done—and the four are soon catapulted into assessing their sex lives, desires and satisfaction with their husbands. Kelli feels neglected by her preoccupied spouse. Mel struggles to overcome her issues in the bedroom. Candy suspects her shallow husband is cheating. Lynn wants to take things to a kinkier level but her mate needs convincing.
Told from each woman’s perspective, you’ll experience what they do firsthand—including that delicious peek behind closed doors!
Will they succeed at fulfilling their own desires, regret disrupting their marriages or learn their unions aren’t as solid as they once believed?
This book steps back in time to when the release of the original series happened and is inspired by true events. Readers and/or fans of the Fifty Shades series will likely relate and enjoy the reactions of the four mothers in question but those who never read the series or held contempt for it will also enjoy this entertaining read because at the heart of the story is the women themselves. Their roles as wives, mothers, friends and daughters (not to mention sports parents, an entire category of its own) weave throughout the story to tell a tale much larger than what's happening (or not) in bed with their respective husbands. And not all four women are enamored with Fifty Shades, bringing a realistic view of its well-earned criticisms. Fifty, Four Ways is meant to be pure entertainment (think book club/beach read/chick lit/women's fiction), but still reveals emotions and scenarios any woman can relate to, feel empathy for, or connect with.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
If you enjoy novels about women who are finding themselves again, women who are easily relatable to any reader, and a novel about marriage, sex, and finding happiness (even if their lives seems perfect to the outside eye), then this is a must read for you!
—Elle's Book Blog, 5 stars
I loved all the characters but the four main women were true stars, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Also, I loved how they each started reading the series with the same expectations, but they took away different lessons. There was a lot of character growth, with a touch of drama. Fifty, Four Ways is more interesting than Sex and the City and ten times more interesting than the series that inspired it! Katherine Cobb is a wonderful, funny author.

Steamy in its own right, Fifty, Four Ways starts out with four women who bond over a shared interest in the Fifty Shades of Gray book series, yet their own personal stories come into play between the lines and scenarios that made Gray the sensual hit it is. ...all four give us their own perspective, offering the reader a deeper and more honest take on what can happen when the edges of fantasy begin to blur within the realm of reality. Nothing said was veiled or shy. There are plenty of moments ... that are steamy and hot and would easily push some outside of their comfort zones, which is what I appreciated most about the novel. While most of us are content to live within our own wild imaginations, we're given a chance to live vicariously through Kelli, Mel, Candy, and Lynn. There are realistic reactions from their spouses, only adding to the depth of the story and the characters within it. ...with good forward momentum, the story never lagged and kept me more than interested... It's a strong, sexy, empowering story- one worth reading!
