Salt Pearl Press uses a rating system to give you a sense of what to expect from our books. These scales aren’t a science and not all scales start in the same place – all of our books are romance and place adult, consenting characters in sexual situations. Additionally, what gets you hot is personal and calibrating the heat scale is up to you. What may be too hot for one reader could be standard fare for another. Check out the synopsis, excerpts, and reviews for our books to fine-tune your sense of which of what will work for you.
🔥
Sweet and sexy – longing glances, kisses, and clear desire. No sex on the page, BUT there very well may be “fade to black” scenes where it’s obvious what’s about to go on behind closed doors.

Foreplay and more. Sex is part of the plot and we may follow the characters into the bedroom, but things don’t get too explicit.
🔥🔥🔥
We follow our characters into the bedroom and the details are on the page. May use explicit language.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Things are getting hot and we’re going to tell you allll about it. The story is still plot-driven, but sex is an unapologetic part of the plot and we’re skirting the edges of erotica.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Our hottest stories where the heat is the point. Sex is described without euphemisms – unless the euphemisms themselves are super sexy. These stories are still character-driven, paranormal, and un-put-down-able.
