Heat Level Definitions
Sweet - no nookie
Mildly Sensual - nookie, but not 'seen'
Sensual - nookie, but no graphic descriptions of private parts
Highly Sensual - nookie with graphic descriptions, but not the kind you'd hear in a bar full of drunken sailors
Regardless of Heat Level, all nookie in books reviewed at Enduring Romance supports the growing love relationship of the couple involved.

Gore O' Meter
Tame- No on the page violence
Mildly Violent- Violence, but no graphic descriptions
Violent - described, but it's straightforward, nothing twisted or too bloody
Regardless, the violence in the novels we review must work with the story.
