You may be wondering exactly what our ratings mean.  It seems everyone has a different expectation of what they mean.  Below are what each rating means, halves are of course, halfway between the individual ratings.

Always remember that ratings and reviews are the opinions of the reviewer.  Read, consider, and then decide if you want to check the book out for yourself.

Didn’t really enjoy this book.  Found it disappointing. Found myself watching TV or email instead of reading.

WHY did I read this book?  This is a book I’d donate to the library.

Special Awards:
Recommended Read

Books that we read and highly recommend will receive Recommended Read status.  This means that we felt it deserved just a little bit more recognition than just the regular ratings.

Smokin’ Hot Read!

Books the we wish we could get a rating higher than the 5 out of 5 kinks rating will instead be given that 5 of 5 and an additional Smokin’ Hot Read classification.  This is the book that not only will we be reading again and again, but will be one that gets talked about often with our friends.  All books that garner the Smokin’ Hot Read award will be gathered together at the end of the year and voted on for the Book of the Year on Kinky Book Reviews.
