Mod
question? the Vladimir book the synopsis made me think it would be a sexy, hot, steamy romance between a teacher and her student. it is not at all. so can I still use it since I thought it was or should I pick another
Mod
It is whether you think it was "Hot" or "Steamy" if not then No. You maybe can use that book for something else.
