Is

Spicy?

The important question romance readers ask again and again...

How many times have you:

  • Grabbed a book in a book store with a gorgeous cover and riveting blurb, but nothing about how spicy it is?
     

  • Scrolled through BookTok, Bookstagram, GoodReads, etc. for book recommendations, only for there to be no mention about how explicit the book gets?
     

  • Started (or even worse, finished!) reading a book, only to realize it didn't have your preferred level of spice?
     

  • Found yourself asking: "Is it spicy?"

Well, we wanted to help you answer that question.

ABOUT THE BLOG

cheryl terra is it spicy romance book blog.jpg

Hi, I'm Cheryl, and I love romance novels.

don't love scrolling through countless GoodReads reviews looking for the random one-star reviews complaining that a book had too much sex (instabuy, am I right?)

Not that I don't love a good sweet fade-to-black romance, but I just want to know what I'm in for!

So I started Is It Spicy? to help other romance lovers find out if a book is spicy.
