Charlotte Lamb

the marriage war charlotte lamb

Category Romance Review: The Marriage War by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on June 16, 2022November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

The Marriage War by Charlotte Lamb may not have the worst hero in Harlequin Presents history, but he certainly ranks up there in the top. .5 stars

a naked flame ray olivere

Category Romance Review: A Naked Flame by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on May 24, 2022November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Sad to report, but A Naked Flame has to be the worst Charlotte Lamb book I’ve read so far. It features a wishy-washy, stupid heroine who wouldn’t know her butt crack from the Grand Canyon. 1 star

guilty love charlotte lamb

Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on January 4, 2022November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Charlotte Lamb’s Harlequin Presents romance Guilty Love is so crazy and full of over-the-top drama. I loved every wild moment of it. As always, YMMV, although this sort of book is right up my alley. But a word of warning: it handles a dark subject that may cause readers some discomfort. 5 stars

stranger in the night

Category Romance Review: Stranger in the Night by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on October 28, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Charlotte Lamb’s Stranger in the Night deals with a sensitive topic she’s approached several times: rape. No, it does not employ the controversial trope of “dubious consent” found in many Harlequins from the 1970s and 1980s. This is a healing love story about a traumatic assault that upended a woman’s life and affected her relationships with men. 5 Stars

A violation charlotte lamb

Contemporary Romance Review: A Violation by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on July 31, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

A Violation, a full-length novel by category author Charlotte Lamb, isn’t a straightforward romance, somewhere more between women’s fiction and romantic fiction. Like so many of her works, the major themes are the philosophy of love and what are the defined roles of being a man and a woman, especially when it comes to amorous relationships. 3 stars

dark fever

Category Romance Review: Dark Fever by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on May 17, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Harelquin Presetns #1840 Dark Fever was part of a series of Harlequin Presents by Charlotte Lamb about the Seven Deadly Sins. The sin is lust, but this is not a sexy book. .5 star

seduction craig lamb

Category Romance Review: Seduction by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on May 12, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Harlequin Presents #428 Seduction Charlotte Lamb features a ridiculously innocent and sheltered heroine and a hero that is so crazy and obsessed, he kidnaps her! 5 stars
