Affiliate Disclosure & Transparency
Last Updated: January 2026 • Full FTC Compliance Statement
Summary for readers: We believe in 100% honesty. Some links on DarkDesireBooks.com are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no additional charge to you. This directly funds our free discovery tools and editorial staff.
1. Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
DarkDesireBooks.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and related Amazon regional storefronts.
2. Other Retail & Bookstore Partners
In addition to Amazon, we sometimes link to other book merchants, including Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo and Audible. When you purchase audiobooks, paperbacks, or eBooks via these links, the same principle applies: the retailer pays a small percentage of the sale to our site as an affiliate commission.
3. Editorial Independence & Truthful Curation
Our affiliate relationships do not ever influence our reviews, spice ratings or content advisories:
We do not give books a positive spice or quality score simply because they pay an affiliate fee.
Books with low reader ratings or problematic pacing are evaluated truthfully regardless of seller program.
All trigger warnings and content advisories are compiled for genuine reader protection.
4. Pricing Guarantee
Clicking an affiliate link on Dark Desire Books will never increase the price you pay for any book. In fact, we frequently alert readers to Kindle Unlimited availability, limited-time author sales, and discounted novellas.
