AlwaysAlways by M. L. Rhodes

Light--mostly vanilla sex with some light spanking. One scene toward the end that incorporates voyeurism (but not in a sexy way) and spanking to a more extreme degree. 9/10
LoneLone by Rowan McBride
Buy new: $13.50 / Used from: $8.59

With CautionWith Caution by J L Langley
Buy new: $10.44 / Used from: $6.59
Fairly light--manual restraint, one scene with handcuffs/manacles, one scene semi-voyeuristic. Quite a bit of focus on biting and light blood play. I suggest you read Without Reservations (not BDSM) first; this volume is the same world with different characters, but these two are introduced in the earlier story. 7/10

Submission Times TwoSubmission Times Two by Claire Thompson

Buy new: $15.38 / Used from: $22.63
Fairly graphic/heavy--whipping, caning, bondage/restraint, sensory deprivation, pushing of fears/boundaries (at one point, in an extreme and uncomfortable way). Popular Dom meets a man with submissive tendencies but who's completely new to the scene. 7/10
Deviations: DisciplineDeviations: Discipline by Jodi Payne
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $8.47
Fairly graphic/heavy--spanking, light whipping, bondage, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pushing of physical fears/boundaries, contractual D/s relationship. This is the third volume in the series, and I find it less severe than the first two (perhaps because I'm simply used to the characters' relationship by now). I highly recommend that they be read in order. 9/10
Deviations: DominationDeviations: Domination by Chris Owen
Buy new: $11.86 / Used from: $8.88
Graphic/heavy--whipping, bondage, voyeurism, exhibitionism, discipline and punishment, contractual D/s relationship. This is the second volume in the Deviations series, but it's not quite as severe as the first, which is why I listed it before Book 1. If you want to read them, do so in order. 9/10
Deviations: SubmissionDeviations: Submission by Chris Owen
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $12.10
Graphic/heavy--whipping, sensory deprivation, chains/manacles, extreme submission in- and outside of the bedroom, discipline and punishment, contractual D/s relationship. 7/10
Deviations: BondageDeviations: Bondage by Chris Owen
Buy new: $13.63 / Used from: $10.15
Graphic/heavy--whipping, bondage, chains/manacles, discipline and punishment, exhibitionism, pushing of physical boundaries, ménage a trois, contractual D/s relationship. I'm not sure where this fits among the others as far as the severity of the BDSM action; I was so caught up in the story by this point I barely noticed the elements that made me uneasy when reading the first volumes. 10/10
The Complete Dr. Fell Volume I: LostThe Complete Dr. Fell Volume I: Lost by Syd McGinley
Buy new: $11.86 / Used from: $12.86
Graphic/heavy--whipping, bondage, sensory deprivation, Master/slave relationships, discipline and punishment, extreme submission in- and outside of the bedroom, sharing of partners, contractual D/s relationships, branding. 9/10
The Initiation of Pb500The Initiation of Pb500 by Kyle Stone
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $5.20
Extremely graphic/heavy (for beginners)--Master/slave relationship, torture, rape, gang rape, branding, extreme submission in all aspects of the slave's life. This is the most brutal BDSM story I've ever read; I didn't enjoy it much and struggled to see the relationship depicted as a "loving" one. 5/10
