An analytical project. Truth in Romance examines and quantifies how explicit-romance fiction is constructed — including the explicit passages themselves. It contains adult content and is intended for readers 18 and over. The books in the catalog are real published works; their titles and contents are discussed here for research, commentary, and criticism. The per-book signal scores, arc shapes, and tag weights are the project’s own analytical estimates from automated text sampling — directional, not exact measurements, and not the publishers’ figures. Industry figures are attributed to published industry research (Circana and similar).
