Book Spice Level Reference 🌶 - hosted by honyombooks

🌶 Level: 6
Enter at Your Own Risk Romance. Books in this category make Fifty Shades look vanilla and typically require trigger warnings. They often include storylines or intimate acts that are seen as taboo, deviant, or at least highly unconventional (bondage, power-exchange relationships, multiple partners, paranormal romance*, extraterrestrial romance*, kink, rape, dubious consent, etc.)

THESE BOOKS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE.Check for content advisories. Consider yourself warned.

Examples: S.M. LaViolette’s Victorian Decadence series, The Innkeeper’s Daughter by Bianca M. Schwarz, A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon, Carnage Island by Lexi C. Floss, Daddy P.I.by E.J. Frost, pretty much anything by Kelsey Soliz, The Empyrean Club series by Sappharia Mayer, the Honey series by Kristen Ashley, and Hard Limits by Suki Williams.
