Rating System
Here’s how I rate books:
: It’s a new favorite that I’ll reread over and over again! If I don’t already own it, I’ll rush out and buy it!
: I loved it and I’ll reread it. I’ll probably buy it if I don’t already have it on my shelves.
: I enjoyed the story, but it’s missing something. I’m okay checking it out from the library if I read it again.
: It was okay. I probably won’t read it again. If it’s part of a series, I won’t keep reading.
: I hated it. The story, writing, characters, etc or all of it just wasn’t for me.
Flames System
I use flame ratings to show the level of sexually explicit content in a book. Here’s what each rating means:
: No romance. Considered another genre. May contain innuendo and brief mention of sex in passing.
: Some romance. Considered another genre. May contain innuendo and brief mention of sex in passing.
: Romance. Sex isn’t main focus. Closed-door sex.
: Romance. Sex isn’t main focus. Open-door sex with no mention of genitalia.
: Romance. Sex isn’t main focus. Very descriptive open-door sex with mention of genitalia.
: Erotica. Sex is main focus. Very descriptive open-door sex with mention of genitalia.
Contact Me
If you still want me to review your book, please email me at booksreviews@jennielyse.com. I don’t guarantee a response so please don’t send more than one request. Otherwise, I’ll blacklist you.
For half-star or -flame ratings, I couldn’t decide where the book fit. It’s a combination of both star or flame ratings it falls between.
