Book Spice Level Reference 🌶 - hosted by honyombooks

🌶 Level: 2
Closed Door Romance. Physical relationships between characters include detailed descriptions of kisses or make out sessions. Love scenes take place within the narrative, but are presented as “closed door”, “fade to black”, or “blurred background”.

Examples: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London, The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, and Kate Carlisle’s Bibliophile Mysteries series all fit here. Some Y.A. romance books are on this level, as well as some romance or rom coms, and most cozy mystery series.
