The level of on-page heat, spice, and explicit content. Think of it as the Scoville scale for romance.

Measures how quickly the romance catches fire, from slow-burn tension to instant spark.

Friends to lovers? Grumpy/Sunshine? You'll find them all here. These are the emotional or dynamic-based tropes that capture the nature of the connection between characters.

One Night Stand. Secret Baby. These are the external or situational devices that force interaction, tension, or chemistry. They're frequently used to drive the plot forward or set the stage for relationship development. Incidentally, they're often also the cause of the dreaded Third-Act Break-Up™.

Touch Her and Die. Where's My Wife? These are the hyper-specific, swoon-inducing beats or character details that drive readers wild.

Potentially sensitive themes, situations, or scenes included to help readers make informed reading choices. Full content warnings may be found under the Extras menu tab at the top of the page.
