This category is for books that may have some smooches, but don't include any shmexy time on or off page.

This is exactly what it sounds like. There is at least one shmexy scene, but it is not described.

There is at least one scene that is described, but not fully or explicitly. Think euphemistic language.

This category is where most spicy romance falls. There is more than one scene with more explicit language.

The spice is explicit and frequent. ;)
