We will take a look, and usually give a book until around the 20% mark to get our attention. If it hasn't, we will let you know that we will not be reviewing it after all.

I am curious about where you draw the lines between erotica and normal romance. Most romance novels have sex scenes in them in various degrees of heat. What would you say is the point that crosses over from a normal sexual romance novel scene and erotica, or do you not even take normal romances with sex scenes? Just curious. You can reply or reply via email katherinepetersdorf4ever@gmail.com or featherlessproductions@hotmail.com
Oh, no, we definitely have no problem with sex scenes in romances. (I think I can safely speak for Janice here, too). It's just when the sex takes over the entire plot I'm not a fan. I believe the classification from publishers comes down to the ratio of sex scenes versus plot, where an erotica novel will be up to 50% sex scenes. That's too much for me. Also they tend to be more explicit and even vulgar sometimes in their terminology. Although I can only speak from the experience of reading one and a half erotica novels that were recommended to me, so I'm by no means and expert on the subject.
Basically, I prefer "romance" to just sex for sex's sake and I appreciate a slower romantic development so that when those sex scenes do eventually come, they actually mean something because by then I care about the characters and their happiness.
Hope that makes sense.
Yes, it does. Thank you.
