Warm and Cozy Romance. Physical relationships between characters may include detailed descriptions of kisses or make out sessions, but does not progress beyond that on the page.

Examples: Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy, Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campbell Allen, and Mr. Malcolm’s List by Suzanne Allain all fit here. Y.A. books with romantic storylines often are on this level, as well as some romance or rom coms, and cozy mystery series.
