‘Simple Pleasures’ is the prequel to ‘Wicked Desires’ and is not meant to be a full-length novel but is meant to be a short story showing the events preceding the start of ‘Wicked Desires’.
I have to say that this was the best prequel from this authors work so far in my personal opinion. I am 100% hooked and I can’t wait to read ‘Wicked Desires’.
