SWEET AND INNOCENT
- Also called sweet
- Maybe some hand-holding through the story and a kiss when they get together.
- Plenty of emotion, but no undressing on the page or detail to worry about
- The bedroom door is closed and anything that does happen, happens behind a closed door.
A TOUCH MORE SIZZLE
- More sensual than sweet with more sizzle.
- Lots of kissing and some touching.
- Sexy talk isn’t graphic
- Focus is on the feelings rather than the body parts.
- Lovemaking is implied not described – generally no unzipping, prodding, poking or bodice ripping.
- Feels sexy and full of heart
IT'S GETTIN' HOT IN HERE (my books)
- Steamy, sexy, spicy, hot
- Most contemporary romance falls into this category
- Some graphic sex scenes on the page with language to match but focus on the relationship
- Body parts named and explored (so to speak)
LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX
- Explicit sex and sex talk
- One level shy of erotica
- May involve sex toys, some mild BDSM
- Sex used to further the story – in intimate detail
OH YEEEEAAAAH BABY
- Erotic romance
- The central plot is still the romance – sex is used to further the emotional journey
- Graphic language, explicit sex, may involve BDSM, sex toys, and multiple partners.
