In The Woods Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

PG-13

In the Woods deals with graphic themes, including rape, but none of that happens on the page. Even the book's one sex scene, between Rob and Cassie, is handled in a fade-to-black kind of way as the two fall into each other's arms. "I turned Cassie in my arms and kissed her, and after a moment she kissed me back" (16.152). Then—bam—in Chapter 17 they wake up naked… but in an L-shaped sheets sort of way, effectively preserving the modesty of all involved.
