EmberReads

EmberReads is a free romance book discovery platform built specifically for romance readers — not general fiction. Every feature exists because Goodreads and StoryGraph don't do this.

Key features:

• 96 Trope Filters — Search by the exact tropes you crave: enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, dark romance, why choose, fated mates, and 90+ more. Stack multiple tropes to find books that hit every single one.

• Spice Ratings (1-5) — Set your minimum heat from kisses-only to five-alarm. Community-rated spice levels so you know exactly what you're getting before you start.

• 55+ Content Warnings — Exclude content you never want to encounter. Granular, community-tagged content warnings with severity levels so you never read past a hard boundary again.

• Ember AI — Tell Ember your mood, tropes, and spice tolerance. Get instant personalized recommendations from 8,000+ romance books. Like a best friend who's read everything in the genre.

• Goodreads Import — Bring your entire reading history in one click. EmberReads matches your books and adds spice data automatically.

• Book Clubs — Read together with spoiler-safe chapter discussions, reading schedules, and vote on next picks as a group. Public or private.

• Reading Challenge — Set yearly reading goals and track progress with animated stats.

• Community Powered — Real readers rate spice, tag tropes, and flag warnings. No algorithms guessing — people who actually read the books.

EmberReads features 8,000+ romance titles, 54,000+ trope tags, and 55+ content warnings, all community-contributed.
