Heat Level 4 – The F-bomb and all other swear words are used liberally, but the relationships are still always consensual and monogamous. Sex toys are starting to show up. Heat Level 5 – The emphasis is on the physical aspect of the relationship along with the emotional, and sex toys are in almost every sex scene (and some scenes besides!) The F-bomb is used every other sentence, and you should only touch your e-reader if you have hot pads on your hands. Erotica with a little bit of a plot Erotica/Not much of a plot but the sex is hot.
