Racy Reads Romance Rating Scale
- Gentle Heat: Very sweet, Hallmark movie story. Everything is left to the imagination, but there is light spice to the story.
- Warm: Affectionate read with some kissing, embracing and hold-holding. You sigh and imagine your Charming riding in a on white horse as your emotions are the focus of these stories.
- Simmer: Candlelight dinners with lingering and stealing glances. Intimate situations that activate your imagination.
- Sultry: Fire is beginning to smoke and things are heating up. Intense romantic scenes that only require some imagination.
- Sizzling: Steamy scenes that will have you grabbing your collar and clearing your throat. Stories that leave very little to the imagination.
- 5-Alarm Fire: Nothing is left to the imagination! You're taking a cold shower as scenes are explicit and detailed.
