Physical Intimacy Level

Intimacy Level explained

Swearing

Trigger Warnings

I would say THE DO OVER is mostly Level 1. THE FAKE OUT is more Level 3. There is a one bed scene. Cuddling, nothing else happens. The only concern might be that she actually takes her shirt off in the middle of an argument. She has a bra on but that may disqualify it as being clean and I totally understand. I’m a Christian who writes for the general market but I don’t/won’t ever write open door scenes. Both books feature plus-size heroines. In The Do-Over, the main character is dealing with learning to stop listening to the messages that she’s a failure and love herself and the body she has. She also does drink too much alcohol a couple of times. The Fake Out has one character who is recovering from a stroke months before and another with a congenital heart defect. Both feature families–both the good and sometimes not so good side.

  • Low-description kissing
  • Tender embraces/cuddling
  • Blushing and sighing
  • Non-descriptive discussions of sex
  • Established relationships

Level 2

  • Touch that signals attraction
  • No touching in underwear zone

  • 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.
