Trigger Warnings

My Military Romances are all SWEET and fall into level 3 with the exception of Happiness in a Hoax which includes a closed-door scene between the married couple in the novel. All of my small town romances include implied intimacy (closed door) – these are all the books in series including the words “Silver Ridge.” I do not generally refer to those books as clean and wholesome though sometime historically Amazon has dropped them into that category, though in every other regard (language, depicted chemistry/physical elements and situations, etc) they are the same as my military romances that do *not* include implied intimacy.

Any books that have more serious content have a note to the reader in the beginning. Several of my books feature women who have come out of abusive relationships (Holding On to Hope, Unexpected Love at Silver Ridge, Almost Ready). Some reference death of loved ones (Fight After Flight, The Bright Side of Brooding, Home with You). Always happy to list out others as needed!

Intimacy Levels

Level 1

  • Holding hands/Affectionate touching
  • Compliments/confessing love
  • Low-description kissing
  • Tender embraces/cuddling
  • Blushing and sighing
  • Non-descriptive discussions of sex
  • Established relationships
  • Fade to black if married
  • Any sexual encounters from past only referred to, not described or on-screen

Level 2

  • Touch that signals attraction
  • No touching in underwear zone
  • Long kisses, lightly descriptive
  • Deeper kisses, tongue implied not described
  • Feel warm/flushed
  • Gasping, deep sighs, light growls and groans
  • Thinking/speaking about desire non-descriptive
  • Fade to black for established relationships after a scene that matches this level – but may be unpopular if not married

Level 3

  • Hands moving, still not in underwear zone
  • French kiss with tongue described
  • Make-out sessions still follow guidelines
  • Feel hot, sweating
  • Heavier gasping, groaning, deep growls, panting
  • More frantic and lose some control
  • Male shirt may come off, but nothing else
  • Leg may straddle waist, but no mention of arousal
  • If they lay down together anywhere, use little description of contact/moving
  • May happen in a bedroom or on a bed, but should be interrupted or end with fade to black scene. Keep focus on the emotion.
  • Fade to black should still happen between married couples or at the end of the book between engaged/committed couples.
