This was a good conversation about spice. I’m always at a loss to describe my spice levels knowing that there are some readers who think significant looks is enough to be called spicy. I think the problem is that, like any novel, the context of it matters. I’ve read books where a linger look was extremely hot and I’ve also read books where sex was described in detail and yet I felt nothing. Maybe we need spice context levels!
This was our long awaited conversation, lol.
