    The Aurelian Cycle

    Storyline: 4 Stars I had a friend rate this series highly on Goodreads and she’s an expert in fantasy which is why I picked these books up.

  • The Silmarillion

    The Silmarillion

    The Safe Pages Rating Romance There are some romantic stories, including Beren and Luthien, which is probably the most famous love story in Tolkein’s world. However, the romantic aspect is not detailed at all, characters barely even speak to each other. The book is a high level overview of some of the romances that take… Read more

  • The Seven Year Slip

    The Seven Year Slip

    The Safe Pages Rating Romance The book is a romance, so it is not surprising that there is romantic content. There were two scenes that were intimate, about a page each, that I had to skip over because of the graphic content. The scenes seemed out of place because the rest of the book was… Read more

  • None of This is True

    None of This is True

    The Safe Pages Rating Romance The two narrators are married women, and most of the “on-screen” romance is minima. There are some descriptions of romance in the past, but they are not graphic. There were accusations of s*xual relationships between individuals, but they would fall in the violence category and there is no proof that… Read more

  • The Housemaid’s Secret

    The Housemaid’s Secret

    The Safe Pages Rating Romance There were less romantic scenes in this book than The Housemaid. Although the main character has a boyfriend and stays at his place often, there are not even any scenes of them together there. Two side characters have an affair, but it is not descriptive.  Violence There were a few descriptions… Read more
