HEAT RATING SYSTEM: How much romance, exactly?

They’re all romances, yes. But there are many levels of steam and the lamplight might not shine on all adult activity. What level of heat does the story offer? 

Teacup

It’s all very proper.

Kiss

Sexual tension is on the page. You wonder, will they? But you won’t see much more than a passionate embrace.

Closed Door

The heat is rising. There are adult activities. But the bedroom door is closed.

Flames

Adult activities are on the page. No one’s hiding anything. You’ll only feel comfortable recommending this to 18+.

Handcuffs

Adult activities. NSFW. Possibly you’ll learn something. BTW, is there a discreet cover?
