Title:Regina in the Sun: Children of the Goddess Book 1 by R.G. Alexander

Product Description: There's only one place left to run-into forbidden arms. Children of the Goddess Book 1 Children of the Goddess Book One When she arrives at Ye Olde Haven Pub, the sanctuary for Trueblood Vampires, Regina is wounded and desperate. Her only thought is to save the Deva Clan, her family, from the dangerous Loups De L'Ombre, the Shadow Wolves. She knows she will not exactly be welcomed with open arms. She is, after all, an Unborn, the lowest caste of Vampire.

As a natural born from the purest line, Zander Sariel knows the rules are sacrosanct-a Trueblood mates with his own kind. But one taste of the young Unborn is all Zander needs to know that rules were made to be broken.

With enemies at every turn, Zander risks everything to save Regina from the monster that hunts her, his own kind-s ignorance and-if he must-her lack of faith in her own unique abilities.

Only together do they have a chance to defeat the shadow that haunts their future, and save their entire race from extinction.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, voyeurism of an m/m/f menage-a plethora of vampire nookie.

I'm afraid you'll have to ask Amazon the answer to this question; geographical restrictions are common with companies (e.g. Barnes & Noble) who are offering books free to U.S. customers. Some will reject non-U.S. IP addresses regardless, others will allow these customers to purchase books if they have on file a credit card with a U.S. address. I suspect there are other ways to get around the system, as well.

Amazon, like all retailers, merely abides by the restrictions set by the publishers, who in turn abide by the contract rights assigned by the author. Neither has the ability to legally offer the book anywhere the author has not assigned them the rights.

So, ask the author why on the geographic restrictions.

For B&N and several other stores, they simply are not set up to enforce the restrictions (or to collect VAT; sometimes they can't sell outside the US for tax reasons or due to not having a valid business presence in a foreign country or due to the US not having diplomatic relations with a country) and so block all non-US IP addresses or just mailing addresses. All because an electronic sale takes place where you are sitting, not where the business' HQ is located (or it's server farm).

There's no restriction. They charge you 2.30$ by the download instead of 0. I think this is almost a daily theme. In this case, Amazon charges you 2.30 and AllRomance charges you 0, with no DRM and different formats (Mobipocket, Microsoft Reader, ePub, PDF). It's up to you
