Kisses only. Any sex is implied and fully off page.
Euphemistic. Softened or poetic language, little direct anatomy.

New from the author of "Wicked Women" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" comes a quirky tale about the adventures of a Bulgari diamond necklace and a newfound romance.

Losing the Field
Also turns on payback against those who mocked a woman, though this is earnest teen romance rather than arch adult satire.
Female Friends (Pavanne Books)
Stardust
Shares the whimsical object-as-quest conceit and dry humor, but trades social satire for fairy-tale adventure and a true happy ending.
A pocketful of silver
Another story of buried secrets and reversals of fortune, told as sincere period saga instead of wry contemporary comedy.
So Many Children
Keeps the focus on women navigating loyalty and class, but gentler and more sentimental, with no satirical bite.
The Fat Woman's Joke
Same author's tart marital satire and revenge on a smug husband, but darker and bleaker with no romance to soften it.
