The following descriptions explain how we categorize books on SteamyRomanceBooks.com:

Steamy Romance
Erotica

Steam Level 4
With these books, you no longer need to use your imagination. It’s pretty much all spelled out for you. There will be frequent lovemaking or even gratuitous sex that is described using graphic language. You will also sometimes find light BDSM elements in Steam Level 4 books.

Steam Level 5
These books contain no-holds-barred sex details. In some cases they’ll also contain stories involving BDSM, multiple partners, fetish behavior and other acts that some people might find objectionable. If you blush or are easily offended, stay away from Steam Level 5. If you like to walk on the wild side, though, you’ll enjoy these.
