🔥 What’s Your Spice Level? A Lesbian Romance Guide to Heat, Heart, and Everything In Between

Not all heat is created equal.

Some lesbian romances make you blush with a single glance across a crowded room. Others leave you fanning yourself at 2am, whispering “just one more chapter” as the tension finally, gloriously breaks. But no matter where you land on the spice scale, there’s something beautiful about recognising what makes you feel — whether it’s a slow-burn glance or a surrender that scorches.

So… what’s your spice level?

It depends on my mood, but I generally lean toward medium spice. That slow, sometimes excruciatingly slow, burn makes that scene mean all the more. I’m rereading The Dark Wife and that slow burn lasts almost to the very end, but it’s SO worth the weight. You have so much invested in that relationship at that point. I love the deep emotional connections of low spice stories too. Curious Hearts is next on my list. I’m really looking forward to that one. But obviously, everyone needs a little intense spice in their life.
