How I Review Books

Before I get too many reviews posted, I am going to try very hard to be consistent in the way I lay out each review. Since my website header makes it pretty obvious you’ll find books, coffee, and love on my site, I developed a rating system and template that I will use for each book review.

Genre preferences are: Y/A, N/A, Fantasy, Paranormal, Contemporary, and Christian. Reviews and promotions will be shared on the blog, Twitter, and on my Facebook page. I reserve the right to decide what books I review, share, and promote.

My Promise To You:

  • I promise the book covers I chose to feature will have a minimal amount of skin – no shirtless men or lingerie clad ladies.
  • I promise to give respectful and honest reviews using all 5 stars. (DNF’s will not be rated. Though I will give a brief rationale for my decision not to finish.)

RATING SCALE:

  • DNF = Did Not Finish
  • 1 Latte = I didn’t like it, but I finished it.
  • 2 Lattes = It was okay. I’m glad I finished.
  • 3 Lattes = I liked it. I wanted to keep reading to the end.
  • 4 Lattes = I liked it a lot, and didn’t want to stop.
  • 5 Lattes = I loved it and couldn’t put it down.

HEAT LEVELS:

  • Light Roast = Zero sexual content
  • Medium Roast = Suggested or implied sexual content
  • Dark Roast = Some descriptive sexual content
  • Espresso Roast = Multiple descriptive sexual scenes

Acceptable and Preferred Content:

My preferred genre and style of romance books are first and foremost CLEAN(ER) – meaning they contain limited to no graphic sexual acts. Some language and violence is acceptable. I reserve the right to determine my own limits for such things.
