All of these books contain a big helping of romance (they are fantasy romance books after all), but we’ve categorized them to give you an idea about their steam levels:
- Sweet / clean: sweet love story with PG content
- Smoldering: buckets of heart wrenching tension, at least one (not especially graphic) sex scene, not much coarse language (A Court of Mist and Fury, From Blood and Ash, A Discovery of Witches, The Hating Game)
- Hot hot hot: generally one to three more extensive / detailed sex scenes, increasing use of coarse language (A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, A Promise of Fire, The Kiss Quotient)
- Scorching: ALL the sex scenes, much description and detail, lots of coarse language (A Heart of Blood and Ashes)
