Short Term

Sensuality Rating Key

1 Heart = Smooching

May contain mild to moderate sexual tension and/or possible implications of something more taking place off canvas, but nothing beyond kissing actually occurs within the text. Our take: These books would be appropriate for teen and sensitive readers.

2 Hearts = Sweet

May contain moderate to high sexual tension which could include passionate clinches that end in cut scenes and/or extremely mild love scenes with virtually no details. Our take: These books should still be appropriate for most mature teens and sensitive readers.

3 Hearts = Sensuous

May contain moderately descriptive love scenes, usually no more than three. Our take: Teen and sensitive readers should exercise caution.

4 Hearts = Steamy

May contain a number of explicitly descriptive love scenes. Our take: Not recommended for under 18 or sensitive readers.

5 Hearts = Scorching

May contain a number of explicitly descriptive love scenes that typically include explicit language and acts which some readers may find kinky and/or offensive. Our take: Definite adults only material, not for the faint of heart.

We always endeavor not to give away endings or major plot twists in either our synopses or reviews, however they may occasionally contain information which some readers might consider to be mild spoilers.
