4 to 5 🌶 Box (Sports)
What is the Pepper Scale? 🌶️
One Pepper: Sighing
Romantic and heartfelt, these tales include sex, but behind closed doors. The focus of these novels is on the growing relationship, with tension that leaves you swooning but keeps things to the imagination.
Two Peppers: Gasping
Here’s where things start to sizzle! Open-door sex scenes complement strong storylines, with traditional dynamics and a balance of love and lust. Slow burns thrive here, building anticipation before the spark ignites.
Three Peppers: Moaning
The bedroom door stays wide open—frequently. Tension builds and when the moment comes, nothing is left to the imagination. If you love a rich love story but crave a steady dose of action, this is your sweet spot.
Four Peppers: Panting
Extra spicy but still grounded, with multiple detailed sex scenes that push boundaries without losing the story. Expect dirty talk, explicit details, and the exploration of kinks or taboo moments that keep the heat climbing.
Five Peppers: Screaming
Sex takes center stage with these wild reads, where kink, BDSM, and multiple partners reign supreme. The plot is secondary to the steamy action, and the spice level is so high, you might need a cold shower to cool off.
Warning: contents may cause blushing, breathlessness, and an urgent need to fan yourself.
This 4 to 5 Pepper box is not playing coy. We’re talking full-contact spice, emotionally satisfying steam, and hockey hotties who know exactly what they’re doing—on and off the ice.
In Pucking Around, it’s one woman, three men, and enough heat to melt the Zamboni. This poly hockey romance is the definition of extra—extra dirty, extra tender, extra everything. If you like your spice with a side of possessive praise and team dynamics that go way beyond the rink? Yeah, you’re gonna want to lace up.
Then Game Changer slides in with an achingly sweet MM romance that’s just as steamy as it is heartfelt. He’s the closeted pro hockey player trying to stay under the radar. His new crush? A flirty, fearless nutritionist who’s definitely not part of the plan—but might just be the key to changing everything.
This box doesn’t hold back. It’s bold, it’s filthy in all the right ways, and it’s brimming with characters who aren’t afraid to go for what (or who) they want.
Trope time: poly romance, MM romance, hockey, found family, secret relationships, praise kink, forced proximity
Spice level: Screaming into a pillow, canceling plans to keep reading, rereading the good parts three times hot. [Check the Pepper Scale 🔥🔥🔥🔥-🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥]
For readers who: live for sweaty tension, adore a little group effort in their love stories, and want their steam with emotional stakes.
