CARI SILVERWOOD BOOKS
Listed from lightest to darkest.
Updated December, 2021
These are ranked on the basis of how consensual the sex is and not on whether the leading man is a murderous asshole.
Almost all are romances.
Some of these books have links to their Amazon page.
LATEST RELEASE IS MARKED IN MAGENTA AND BOLD.
Books that are not romances are Magience, The Squirm Files (which are more fun and erotic than true romance), Blood Glyphs, 31 Flavors of Kink, Fan Anonymous, Cataclysm Blues, Santa with a K, Dark Math Jesus, and Used.
Nightmare Rising will be a romance by the end - it's slow-burn romance like the Dark Hearts books.
(I hope to finish the Nightmare Rising Trilogy this year. Nicolette Hugo hasn't been writing so I may co-write with someone else or do it solo.)
MAGIENCE and NEEDLE RAIN – epic fantasy. Mostly not erotic. Some erotic scenes in Needle Rain
MY ROMANCE CURSE – erotic humorous romance
DARK MATH JESUS - a humorous steamy spoof about the Amazon category debacle that sent the book before it (Sacrificed to the Sea) into Math and Religion.
31 FLAVORS OF KINK – consensual BDSM, based on the true story of a couple exploring kink.
BADASS BRATS SERIES
Written with Sorcha Black and Leia Shaw. (who formed Sparrow Beckett)
MFF consensual BDSM romances. The Dom with a Safeword, The Dom on the Naughty List, The Dom with the Perfect Brats, The Dom with a Clever tongue.
Sorcha Black continued the series by herself with two more – The Dom with the Kink Monsters and The Dom with the Deviant Kittens.
ROUGH SURRENDER – consensual BDSM historical romance (1910 Cairo). Murders, mayhem, some tragedy, but it is a romance. The pyramids survived. A few planes and people died.
FAN ANONYMOUS – novella spoof of an erotic author’s autobiography (riffed off the Author Anonymous book)
BLOOD GLYPHS – erotic paranormal urban fantasy novella, with some moments of horror
The SQUIRM FILES - Squirm, Strum, The Well-hung Gun.
Erotic spoofs of erotic romance and monster porn. Slightly dubcon but zero trauma. All in good fun, so the tentacles can get to where they want to go.
LUST ANGEL – a sweet and very kinky, paranormal erotic romance about a fallen angel who is found by a Dom, who isn’t sure what he has on his hands.
CATACLYSM BLUES – my one permanent free novella.
Slight dubcon but mostly awesome sex in a post-apocalyptic, wild-west (sort of) setting.
THE STEAMWORK CHRONICLES – Iron Dominance, Lust Plague, Steel Dominance.
Some dubcon and there are a few zombies in Lust Plague but they’re only cannon fodder, I swear. THE ZOMBIES DON’T HAVE SEX.
THREE DAYS OF DOMINANCE – consensual kink with a fae but there is a definite dubious consent slant. My first erotic romance! This book is a free gift when you join my reader list.
DARK MONSTER FANTASY – Prey, Steel, Blade.
THE PRINCESS TIED - inspired by The Princess Bride but my story went off the rails into its own crazy romcom territory. Sweet in a way but also kinky, a MfM menage (mostly Mf), and it does have dubious consent. The original movie (and book) was a thinly veiled satire of the swashbuckling Hollywood tropes, but it ended up being a classic of that genre and a wonderful swashbuckling comedy-romance.
RULED - A dark sci-fi romance about a princess and her beast, who takes both her and her throne.
CONDEMNED - A dark sci-fi, reverse harem romance set in the same world as Ruled but standalone with zero continuing characters. Set in a new part of the world.
WARDEN - A dark-ish scifi omegaverse with dubious consent, mauleons and orcs, starships, mechlings and my snarky sword, Smorg.
JUDGED - A dark scifi romance set in the same world as Ruled and Condemned. MfMM. Standalone story.
There is abduction but, to me, this is only mild darkness.
BEAST HORDE TRILOGY - Sci-Fi Warrior Romance set on Earth after an alien invasion.
VARGR, RUTGER , and CYN . The Beast Horde Boxset is available on Amazon.
PREYFINDERS TRILOGY – Precious Sacrifice, Intimidator, Defiler. Cyberella is a spin-off novel.
Lots of dubious consent in this scifi series. Hints of horror in some scenes. The Factory Queen is the main villainess and she is awesome but creepy :D
SANTA WITH A K - this whimsical yet sadistic Christmas story is based around Krampus and definitely has some dubious consent, but in an alternate reality. An erotica short story, written just to be kinky and filthy. NOT a romance.
NIGHTMARE RISING – mostly hate-fucking and some dubcon but the ending is just mind-blowingly noncon.
CLOCKWORK STALKER - This is a kinky Sherlock Holmes tale which does have dubious consent. Sherlock is a very naughty boy, as is Wilhelmina Moriarty... wait, she is a girl. Oops, a grammar goof.
SACRIFICED TO THE SEA - a dark mermaid tale. Very twisted and dark though the dubcon morphs into consensual.
MACHINERY OF DESIRE SERIES – Acquired Possession, Claimed Possession, Branded Possession, and Exquisite Possession. Fated Possession is a novella in this series. These are post-apocalyptic scifi with dubious consent and some noncon. Slaveworld.
PIERCED HEARTS SERIES – Take me Break me, Bind and Keep me, Make me Yours Evermore, Seize me From Darkness, Yield, and the novella, Klaus.
Take me Break me is the odd one out as it is barely dark and sort of wavers on the line between consensual and dubcon. I wrote it like that intentionally, to tease with the darkness. The rest are very dark.
HIS KEEPSAKE - This is CNC that becomes something far less obviously consensual. Emme wants to be forced and Grayson and Axl are happy to oblige. Contemporary Dark Romance.
DARK HEARTS SERIES – Wicked Ways, Wicked Weapon, Wicked Hunt, and the spin-off, Wolfe.
Very dubcon and noncon. Really my darkest books.
THE POSSESSION OF RED - now a part of the Dark Hearts series - The spin-off Dark Hearts novella, Used, is the darkest erotic story I’ve written and I consider it erotic horror.
Part 1 Used
Part 2 is ISAK and Red, which is a dark romance that ends with a twisted HEA - a happily-ever-after.
MESMER - a very dark contemporary romance with some paranormal elements, set in the same every-day 'world' as Dark Hearts.
As far as my darkest male leads – my darkest would be Tomik, from Mesmer, Moghul, from Yield (Pierced Hearts), Ryke from Branded Possession, and from Used, there you will find Isak *shudder*. Pieter in Seize me From Darkness would also rank up there in darkness, but he is also very nice, at times. And now I can add Grayson and Axl from His Keepsake... but mostly Axl.
