Romance content rating scale
When I say that my romances are cozy, sweet, mild, or no-spice or low heat, I'm following this romantic scale by author Mariah Ankenman:
- NPI = No physical intimacy
- KO = Kissing only
- CD = Closed door/off page intimacy
- ODE = Open door with euphemisms only
- ODD = Open door with descriptive language and imagery
- ODK = Open door descriptive with kink
My books are KO as of 2024.
