This book is a fantasy romance, and contains some mature scenes between a man and a woman. Less than usual for those that read my books.Author’s Note: The Moore World novels are stand-alone erotic fantasy romances set in the same world as the Shawn Moore and Andrew Moore Novels, there are five planned. It’s better to read the Moore World Novels in order, even though the books will be stand-alone, there are common characters and places in them that will lead to spoilers of previous volumes.
