Quick answer
- Writes: BDSM romance, mostly contemporary, with Regency and medieval historicals. Her store bio says the books explore the romance of dominance and submission.
- Also writes as: Molly Joseph, the name she uses for non-BDSM erotic romance. She states that herself in her Amazon author bio.
- Where to read: ebooks on Amazon and Apple Books, audiobooks on Audible, and a Smashwords profile. Everything is paid; we found no free serial and no coin or unlock model.
- Her own website: not linked here. When we checked on 27 October 2026 it was carrying injected casino links and spam text that are not hers, and we do not link a compromised site.
- Series: two are confirmed from store pages, Rough Love (three books) and Properly Spanked (four books). The fuller series list exists only on the site above, so we do not repeat it.
What Annabel Joseph writes
BDSM erotic romance, which her Amazon bio describes as books that explore the romance of dominance and submission
. Most of it is contemporary, with a historical strand running from Regency into medieval settings. Apple Books files her under its Erotica label with 42 ebook entries, which is the best single measure of the catalogue's size that we can verify.
The Molly Joseph name is her own division of labour rather than a secret: that pen name carries the erotic romance without the BDSM, and she says so in her store bio. No other name is recorded here.
The books we can confirm
Six titles had their blurbs read and their dates taken from a store page. Torment Me, the first of Rough Love, is dated 13 October 2015 on Amazon and carries the imprint Scarlet Rose Press. Whether that press is hers is not stated anywhere we read, so we give it only as the publisher name the store prints.
The other five come from her Apple Books listings, with Apple's release dates for those editions: Club Mephisto (31 December 2010), Comfort Object (28 October 2011), Burn For You (17 May 2012), Dark Control (25 September 2017), described as the start of a standalone series, and Owning Wednesday (12 April 2018).
A store release date is not always a first publication date, and the 2010 entry in particular may be a re-release rather than an original. The remaining thirty-odd titles on her Apple author page were not read for this page, so they are neither listed nor characterised. Nothing was left off for age reasons.
Where to buy her books
Four routes, all of them store pages rather than her own. Her Amazon author page is the fullest list of the Kindle editions and the place we would send a reader first. Her Apple Books author page holds the 42 ebook entries. Audiobooks have an Audible author page, and there is a Smashwords profile carrying the same biography.
Her own site lists more retailers than that, and a newsletter, but it is in the state described below, so none of what it says is repeated here. If and when it is cleaned up, it becomes the better starting point than any store.
Why we do not link her website
When we checked on 27 October 2026, the site at her own domain was serving injected casino links and spam text alongside her own content. That is the signature of a hacked installation rather than anything the author chose, and it is not unusual on long-running author sites built on older software. We do not link a compromised site from this one, so her store page stands in for it until the problem is gone.
For a reader the practical consequence is small but worth knowing: the top result for her name may not be a safe place to land, and the store pages above are. For her newsletter there is currently no address we can give you, because the only sign-up form we found is on that site.
What her own pages claim
Her Amazon bio describes her as a NYT and USA TODAY bestselling author
. That is her claim, quoted with the page it appears on. We checked no ranking of our own, and no award claim appears on the store pages we read.
What is not confirmed
No start year is stated, and the earliest store date above is not one. Her full series list, her wider retailer list and her newsletter are stated only on the compromised site, so none of them is cited here. Kindle Unlimited status was not checked. Whether Scarlet Rose Press is her own imprint is not stated. We found no subscription platform, no free serial and no bonus-content page on the store pages we read, which is not the same as proof that none exists. This is the shortest of our ten author pages, and that is a consequence of the site being unusable rather than of the catalogue being small.
Our other author pages are listed on the authors hub.
FAQ
Is Annabel Joseph the same person as Molly Joseph?
Yes. Her Amazon author bio says she writes non-BDSM erotic romance under the Molly Joseph name.
Where should I buy her books?
From her Amazon author page for Kindle editions, her Apple Books author page, or Audible for the audiobooks. We do not recommend her own website in its current state.
What is wrong with her website?
On 27 October 2026 it was serving injected casino links and spam text that are not hers, which is what a hacked site looks like. We do not link it, and we will re-check.
Which series should I start with?
Two series are confirmed from store pages: Rough Love, which begins with Torment Me (2015), and Properly Spanked. The rest of her series list is only on her own site, so we do not repeat it.
Does she have a newsletter?
One exists according to her own site, but the only sign-up form we found is on the compromised site, so we cannot give you a safe address for it.
Are her books free anywhere?
Not that we found. The store pages we read show paid ebooks and audiobooks, with no serial, no subscription and no free-story page.
