Question 1

Is Addicted Pages really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — completely free for readers, forever. Browse the entire library, bookmark unlimited books, read your daily horoscope, and write and publish stories at no cost. We never charge readers.

Question 2

What kind of books are on Addicted Pages?

Accepted Answer

Steamy romance, dark romance, urban fiction, erotica, reverse harem, billionaire/alpha romance, romantic suspense, and forbidden romance. We curate by heat level (1–5 flames) so you always know what you're getting into.

Question 3

Do you sell or store the actual ebooks?

Accepted Answer

No. Addicted Pages is a discovery and journaling app. When you find a book you want to buy, we send you to Amazon. We earn a small affiliate commission, which keeps the lights on without charging you.

Question 4

How does Addicted Pages make money?

Accepted Answer

Through the Author Wall and Amazon affiliate links — not by charging readers. Authors can pay a one-time fee via PayPal to feature a book: Starter ($19, ~30 days) or Featured ($39, ~45 days plus a Gold Badge). Readers always read free.

Question 5

Is my journal private?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by default. Every journal entry, draft and bookmark is private to your account. You can choose to publish individual stories to the Heat Stories community, but nothing is shared without you actively making it so.

Question 6

Do I need an account to browse?

Accepted Answer

You can browse the library and read blog posts without an account. To bookmark, journal, comment or save stories, you'll need a free account.

Question 7

Are trigger warnings provided?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every reader-submitted Heat Story includes selectable trigger warnings (dub-con, violence, BDSM, etc.). For published books, we link to Storygraph or the author's website where official trigger warnings live.

Question 8

Can I write and publish my own stories?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and it's free. Every account can write and publish stories to Heat Stories, where the community can react with love or fire.

Question 9

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Email addictedpages8@gmail.com from the address tied to your account and we will delete it (and all associated data) within 7 days. We do not require a reason.

Question 10

Do you have a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Addicted Pages is a fully responsive web app — add it to your home screen on iOS or Android for an app-like experience. Native apps are on the roadmap.

Question 11

Are recommendations editorial or algorithmic?

Accepted Answer

Editorial. Every book on the site and every blog post recommendation was hand-picked by our team or community. We don't use third-party recommendation algorithms.
