Kink Talk Series
The kink talk series is a collection of interconnected standalone novels that center around a group of people in a BDSM chatroom for the curious, inexperienced, and self-conscious. Each book follows a kink talk member as they explore the issues of identity, conflicting desires, and self-acceptance.
Beginner’s Luck (kink talk book 1)
Aaron is finally ready—to give up control.
After a quiet divorce and a fresh start in a new city, Aaron is done pretending he doesn’t crave submission. He’s spent years being the strong, assertive one. Now, at thirty-eight, he wants to explore the part of himself he’s kept locked away.
Stepping into the BDSM scene for the first time is overwhelming, but he’s done his research, and the friends he’s made through the Kink Talk chatroom are there to cheer him on. If he’s ever going to take the leap, now is the time.
Jay has given up on love.
At the club, Jay is a confident, authoritative Dom. He’s every sub’s dream—or so it seems.
In real life, he’s laid-back, hesitant, and far more sensitive than he lets on. He’s always wanted to find someone special but experience has taught him not to hope—until Aaron walks in and turns everything upside down.
Aaron knows exactly what he wants.
Jay will do anything to please him.
But when an assertive sub collides with an indecisive Dom, control isn’t the only thing at stake. Trust, vulnerability, and the possibility of real connection all hang in the balance as they discover that surrender—and leadership—don’t always look the way they expect.
Beginner’s Luck by Ivy Glaze is book 1 in the kink talk series, but can be read as a standalone. It’s a low-angst, contemporary, BDSM-adjacent MM romance featuring first times, flipped expectations, plenty of steam, and a guaranteed HEA.
Zero Confusion (kink talk book 2)
Zach is tired of keeping secrets.
No one in his tiny farming town can find out he’s gay and hopelessly in love with his best friend Miles—not his conservative parents, not the judgmental neighbors, and definitely not Miles.
After escaping for college, Zach has finally built a life where he can be his true self. Rather than going back and facing rejection from his family, he starts putting distance between himself and everyone he loves.
Until Miles shows up on his doorstep.
Miles needs Zach.
When his best friend doesn’t come home for summer break, Miles doesn’t hesitate to hop on a plane for a surprise visit.
The intimacy of the weeks that follow—sharing a bed, dancing together, discovering Zach’s hidden desires—awakens something in Miles. He finally understands why the thought of losing Zach is so devastating.
Miles is in love with him.
But falling in love is the easy part.
Coming out to family, facing an uncertain future, and risking the most important relationship of their lives may be more than either of them can handle.
Zero Confusion is a low-angst, contemporary, BDSM-adjacent MM romance featuring best friends to lovers, a surprisingly confident first-time Dom, plenty of restraints, and a guaranteed HEA. It is the second book in the kink talk series, but can be read as a standalone.
