Book Spice Level Reference 🌶 - hosted by honyombooks

🌶 Level: 4
Hot and Heavy Romance. These books push the envelope just a little past what is considered conventional. Physical relationships between characters include 3-5 descriptive open door love scenes. The intimate acts described in these books often veer toward creative or unconventional. Although these characters are often experimental in the bedroom, they typically don’t consider themselves part of the BDSM community or lifestyle.

Examples: Marriage and Murder by Penny Reid, most of the Ice Plant Barbariansseries by Ruby Dixon, Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade, Dangerous by Minerva Spencer, and Don’t Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross.
