ILoveTheWayYou.com sources primarily from independent artists and authors. We deliberately hire from a diverse and varied pool of talented individuals from all over the world because there is no “one” perspective of love. Love is the ultimate universal language.
Absolutely! Each work begins and ends in romance with a variety of sub-genres: contemporary, comedy, historical, etc. Some might be instant attraction with the characters immediately obsessed with each other at first sight, others might be slow burn and the love doesn’t unfurl until the last book of a series, but if it’s on our site then it will have the core three tenants of all romance novels: two main characters who fall for each other, an obstacle that temporarily keeps them apart, and a happily ever after.
We give our stories a heat level on a scale of 1-5. 1: Sweet and innocent. No sex scenes closed door or otherwise, kissing and an awareness of sex and sexual attraction not detailed. 2: Sweet but sassy. Make out sessions and closed door sex scenes, swearing possible but no graphic language. 3: Sensual love. Sex scenes open door and very emotional, heavy focus on what the characters feel emotionally more than what they feel physically, swearing but no graphic language. 4: Spicy. Sex scenes open door and can be graphic but moves the plot forward and are strictly about developing the relationship between the characters. 5: Flaming. Erotica, graphic scenes, an exploration of sexual interests and identity, the story hinges on the sexual development of the characters on their way towards love.
