Spice Scale

Pick a ride. Any ride. 
(Except for the 1^st two.  I get bored if someone isn’t misbehaving.) 

🌶️– 1 Pepper: Fade to Black

Light tension. Kissing. Closed door.
Speaking as a woman that once threw a book with only kissing against the wall in fury—THIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Seriously, if I close the door, send help, I’ve been kidnapped and replaced by a puritan. 

🌶️🌶️– 2 Peppers: Mild Heat 

A little light groping. A boob squeeze. Maybe a cute orgasm at the end. IF you’re lucky. 
 Also, highly improbable. I mean, why bother? If you’re not losing consciousness, what are we even doing here? 

🌶️🌶️🌶️– 3 Peppers: Standard Spice

High tension. 1- 2 explicit scenes. Some playful spanking and filthy language and just to keep things interesting. 
In my book (both literally and figuratively) this is bare minimum heat. Definitely dirty. Kinda mom safe. Just barely.   

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️– 4 Peppers: High Heat

Tension. Creative wall sex. ALL the dirty words. Yes, even those. 
This is my sweet spot. Lots of sex, emotions, and bad decisions.  Heat that steams up the page and brings the pretty stain of a blush to your cheeks. 

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️– 5 Peppers: Explicit & Plentiful 

Sex. Sex. And More sex.  Unapologetically carnal. May include kink and power exchange. 
 Packed with emotional punch and complex characters, the sex is integral to the story.  Not safe for work. Or relatives.  AKA why I have a pen name.
