EmberReads - Find romance books by trope, spice, and content warnings

by
Goodreads doesn't understand romance readers. No spice ratings, no trope search, no content warnings. EmberReads fixes all three. Search 8,000+ books by 85+ tropes (enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity). Every book has community-rated spice on a 1-5 flame scale and 55+ content warnings with severity levels. Stack multiple tropes to find your exact craving. Import from Goodreads in one click. Build TBR shelves, track reading challenges, write reviews.

I built EmberReads because I was tired of picking up a romance book and having no idea what I was getting into. Goodreads tells you the genre and a star rating — but romance readers need more than that. We need to know: what tropes? How spicy? Are there content warnings I should know about? EmberReads is powered by real readers who rate spice, tag tropes, and flag warnings on every book. It's the platform I wished existed when I was scrolling Reddit at midnight asking "enemies to lovers + high spice + no cheating?" Would love your feedback — what would make book discovery better for you?
