How Spicy is the Spice?
5 - Extra Hot - Sexy, possibly erotic with multiple sex scenes with elements of erotic sex play. Could include multiple partners, toys, bondage, and an increasing level of eroticism, along with a developing plot and (normally) a happily-ever-after ending.
Examples: Ruby Dixon, Sophie Lark & RuNyx.
4 - Hot - The love scenes are graphically described. Sex scenes are longer and throughout the book, there could be masturbation and/or sex toys involved. Similar to Medium where it is an important part of the plot and building of tension, sex normally leads to a happily-ever-after ending.
Examples: Ana Huang, Elise Silver & Tessa Bailey.
3 - Medium - Kissing and a few sex scenes happen. The love scenes can be thoroughly and often realistically described. Sex is important to the plot, but scenes are shorter. Sex as part of a developing relationship and leads to the couple’s happily-ever-after. Examples: Helen Hoang & Casey McQuiston
2 - Mild - Kissing, touching, more kissing, and sexual touching; higher level of sexual tension. Sweet and tender love scenes. Sex is described in euphemisms. The story ends with a happily-ever-after.
Examples: Emily Henry & Abby Jimenez
1 - Extra Mild - There will be kissing & touching, low level of sexual tension. Clear attraction and thinking about the other character. Fade to black sex scenes.
Examples: Sarah Adams & Katherine Center
