The Suncoast Society is a contemporary BDSM series set in and around Sarasota in west central Florida. It focuses mostly on a group of friends who are members of the Suncoast Society munch group and the BDSM club Venture. (Note: The series was first started before Covid was an issue, so the series does NOT address Covid.)

There are MANY more books planned for this series.
“When will the next Suncoast Society book come out?” — The next one is in progress but I cannot yet give you an approximate time of when it will be finished and published.
Where to start?
I’m frequently asked where someone “should” start in the series. Some people like to read from book 1 onward. Since the books are standalone, you can pick and choose from them, although you might miss some inside jokes and backstory you’d recognize from earlier books.
If someone is completely new to the BDSM genre and wants to learn more about it, sometimes it’s better they start with some of the “gentler” books.
A Roll of the Dice (MF pairing) is about an average, middle-aged couple now faced with an empty nest when their son goes off to college. They delve into BDSM as a way to spice up their marriage. Sometimes, people new to BDSM don’t understand “why” someone would want that kind of dynamic, and it’s a great way to introduce the softer side of it.
Likewise, Domme by Default (MF pairing) is another good “starter” story. It’s about a man who, after several years of marriage, reveals he actually wants his wife to top him, and how they both adjust to that, and the allowances each makes so both can get what they need from the relationship.
The Denim Dom (MF pairing) is Tony and Shayla’s story. She signs on to be his submissive to learn about BDSM for a magazine article series she’s writing. But what started out as a professional arrangement turns very personal. She starts out with some preconceived and legitimate prejudices against BDSM for her own personal reasons, and is shocked to discover things about herself she never realized before.
If you are no stranger to menages, The Reluctant Dom (MFM pairing) is a good one to introduce someone to the lifestyle. A man is dying, and he wants to make sure his wife and slave are taken care of after he goes, so he enlists the help of his best friend to carry on in his footsteps after he’s gone. His friend is totally shocked by this and has to be walked through the hows and whys of BDSM.
See You Sometime (MF pairing) is an old-loves-reunited tale, but it’s the experienced female submissive who has to teach the inexperienced male Dominant about the lifestyle. Skye has to help Axel understand the whys and hows of the lifestyle, and the question is can he find his own path through it to come up with a solution that will work for both of them?
Vulnerable is a MM story about an inexperienced male Dom who pairs up with an experienced male submissive.
For the Roses is a MF story, an experienced female submissive with a new male Top.
Notes, Story Arcs, Related Books:
There are many, many more books planned for this series.
Since it is a mostly standalone series, existing characters frequently walk through each others’ books, and new characters will debut in future books. However, some of the books tie in directly with other books. I try to note on each book’s page when there are related books, but that’s a work in progress.
(Hint: always read the Author’s Note in the front of EVERY book. LOL I started adding references to previous books the characters are featured in, although they may have appeared in more books as secondary characters.)
The timeline for the series is “fluid.” While there technically is a chronological order, many of the books overlap each other, or take place concurrently.
The original Suncoast Society munch group was comprised of (among others): Kaden & Leah, Marcia & Derrick, Judge Pat Donnelly, Ed & Hope Payne, Tilly, Cris, Gilo, Tony, Ross & Loren, Walt, Rusty & Eliza, Kel, June & Scrye, Mac & Sully, Sean & Max, Mike & Julie Foster.
Here are some of the more established story arcs/connected books:
Tony Daniels first appears in Domme by Default and The Reluctant Dom. His feature book is The Denim Dom, and we see a follow-up vignette in Click. Tony and Shayla are also featured in Things to Do in Denver, It’ll Be Fun, and Excitable Boy, plus they make minor appearances in many of the books, including Pinch Me and Suit and Tied.
Tilly Cardinal and her men (Cris and Landry) appear in many books as secondary characters, but their featured story arc to date is comprised of:
- Cardinal’s Rule
- A Very Kinky Valentine’s Day
- Click
- Impact
- Happy Valenkink’s Day
- See You Sometime
- Borderline
- Never Too Late for Love
- Suit and Tied
Marcia and Derrick opened and run Venture, the BDSM club that started after the Suncoast Society parties grew unwieldy to hold at private homes. They have been featured in Spank or Treat, Open Doors, Suit and Tied, and It’ll Be Fun.
Mallory (the group’s original “Mal”) and Askel (“Kel”) have a complex story that starts in His Canvas and then winds through several other books: A Kinkmas Carol, Happy Spank Patrick’s Day, This Moody Bastard, Walk Between the Raindrops, Friends in Common, Almost Gothic, Happy Spank-O-Ween, It’ll Be Fun, and then they are featured again in Follow Me.
His Canvas introduces Chelbie, whose story is told in Sapiosexual.
Out of the Spotlight, Friends Like These, and Vicious Carousel form a trilogy story arc.
Vicious Carousel is a prequel to Walk Between the Raindrops (June and Scrye’s feature book).
Scrye and June’s story arc also contains a few follow-up stories about the apartment she used to live in.
- A Very Kinky Valentine’s Day
- Walk Between the Raindrops (feature book)
- Rub Me Raw
- Reconsider Me
- Our Gravity
- Court and Spark
- Happy Spank-O-Ween
- It’ll Be Fun
Open Doors leads into One Ring, introducing Amelia, whose story is told in One Ring.
The Strength of the Pack is a direct sequel to Vulnerable, and picks up exactly where the previous book leaves off.
Kaden, Leah, and Seth books. (They appear in several others as minor characters. Some are Leah and Seth only.):
- The Reluctant Dom (feature book)
- Spank or Treat
- A Merry Little Kinkmas
- Open Doors
- A Kinkmas Carol
- It’ll Be Fun
A Merry Little Kinkmas sets up an interesting conundrum for Clarisse (Safe Harbor) that plays out in A Very Kinky Valentine’s Day.
A Very Kinky Valentine’s Day sets up the foreshadowing for Ross and Loren’s tale in Things Made Right. (Which, if you’ve read Safe Harbor, will make even more sense.)
The “South Dakota Trilogy” story arc contains the following three books:
Justin, Wade, and Glen have a follow-up book to Dangerous Curves Ahead in Disorder in the House, plus they make minor appearances in other books.
Fire in the Hole is a direct sequel to Splendid Isolation, but you don’t have to read that book first to understand the events. They also introduce Ev’s sister, Eve, whose story is featured in Blue Motel Room.
Blue Motel Room also features Ivan, Ron, and Kimbra, Walt’s ex. We first meet Ron in For the Roses. Kimbra is first introduced in Two Against Nature, and has appeared as a secondary character in several books, including Our Gravity. Eve first appears in Splendid Isolation and Fire in the Hole.
Good Friends is a direct sequel to Blue Motel Room and features Porter, who was introduced in Blue Motel Room.
Cali, Max, and Sean, who run Two Crafty Bastards Toys and volunteer at Venture, several feature books, and appear as secondary characters in several other books. There are more books planned for this triad.
- Crafty Bastards (first feature book)
- Kinko de Mayo

Brandon, Jeff, and Stuart have a multi-book story arc:
And Brandon’s ex-wife, Tracey, gets her story in Blues Beach. (Yes, there will be more books about all of them.)

Trivia:
Venture is based in part on the real-life Tampa Bay Phoenix Club. The Suncoast Society munches are based on the Sarasota Society group munches. The “party invites” are also based on the Sarasota Society invites (used with the kind permission of my old friend and mentor, Rigger, the host of the Sarasota Society munch group).
The phrase “things made right” isn’t just a title for one of the books. It’s also spoken by several characters throughout other books, sometimes without specific knowledge of what it means to Ross and Loren, while also having the same (or similar) intent. (And to avoid spoilers, you’ll just have to read it. LOL)
Many of the heroes and heroines in this series are in their forties or older.
Cali’s cat, Baxter, is based on Tymber’s own cat, Grimmy. Abbey’s pet tortoise, George, was inspired by Tymber’s pet tortoise, Sheldon. Rebecca’s dog, Chewi, is based on Tymber’s dog, Gidget.
FemDom:
Some of the books in the series have FemDom elements (even if minor or between secondary characters in the book) or are more FemDom in nature.
- Domme by Default
- Cardinal’s Rule
- A Lovely Shade of Ouch
- Click
- A Very Kinky Valentine’s Day
- Switchy
- Time Out of Mind
- Happy Spank Patrick’s Day
- Fire in the Hole

Loved, loved, loved The Reluctant Dom! I totally bawled! What a wonderful story!
@Brenda – Thank you! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I was wondering what book the story of June is in? I have never read a book with that dynamic and am very curious!
June and Scrye’s main book is Walk Between the Raindrops.
The first book I read by Tymber was The Relucant Dom, since then I have been hooked on on this series. The book was my first one of this genre and was so well written I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Beautiful story.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Just got done reading Our Gravity… What a wonderful story. My sister passed away from Brain Cancer, so this hit close to home. Thank you for all of your stories…
