Spice Levels at Brit’s Book Haven

Whether you love a slow-burn kiss or full-on fire, our spice rating system helps you find books with the perfect amount of heat for your taste. Here’s how we break it down:

🌸 Low Spice

These books keep things sweet and romantic. You’ll find emotional connections, tension, and maybe a few kisses, but no explicit scenes. Ideal for readers who prefer the story and emotional journey to take center stage, with just a sprinkle of flirtation.

🔥 Medium Spice

A nice balance of plot and passion. Medium spice books usually feature one or two open-door scenes, described in moderate detail. Perfect if you enjoy romance with a side of heat—but not too much.

🌶️ High Spice

These stories bring the heat! Expect multiple open-door scenes with vivid, detailed intimacy. The chemistry is sizzling, and the spice level plays a key role in the character development and plot.

🔥🔥 Very High Spice

Explicit, steamy, and unapologetically hot. These books often center around the spice as a main draw, with frequent and intense scenes. Not for the faint of heart—ideal for readers who want it all and then some.
