If you want romance (which I write and read) where the couples DON'T jump into bed, you've got loads of choices!

Look for:

Sweet Amish

Slow burn

Glacial burn

or Sweet in general

Plenty of readers don't want instruction manuals and plenty of authors cater to that taste.

The cover will often -- but not always! -- give a clue as to the heat level.

Shy rosebuds? handholding

Fully spread flowers like a crotch shot? There will be sex.

The more skin you see on the cover models (male, female, or alien) the more sex.

This isn't cut and dried, but it gives you a clue to amount of sex and how detailed it is.
