I previously read all 9 of the books contained in this one boxset. Or perhaps I should say I devoured them, they were that good, the story is that compelling. As the title says, Charlotte is looking for clues to her past, to her parent's identities, and why her enemy has tried to ruin so much of her life. And, newly-married, she and her two husbands, her Master and her 'Golden Lover,' are continuing to establish and grow their relationship, while shocking and distressing details about her past life are revealed. So now that these 9 books are offered in one set, save yourself some time and substantial money by getting this boxset for yourself. You won't be sorry! Each of these books are absolutely 5-star reads.

I just adore these series. Michael and James are so totally swoon-worthy and Charlotte is such a sweetheart. I was eager to read about the wedding and to see what happens. This was even better than I expected. I can't wait to keep reading more!.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my fair and honest review.

Deserves more than 5 STARS. I never thought I would be so hooked on a story about a Menage MFM but I think it is a lot more than a story. I would call this almost a SAGA. There is sooo much more to this than just sex. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of it which stretched my limits on occasions but it is an organic part of the Triad's unshakable love and devotion to each other. It is strictly a heterosexual threesome and this book contains 3 books which are also sold separately. That is the only thing I found confusing, as I started reading the individual books at the very beginning of their saga and I didn't for a while appreciate the reason for the overlap. There are suggestions for the order for the next book at the end of each book but perhaps it would be helpful to have them on the purchase page, so it is clear from the beginning, where in the saga the particular book fits into. However this book has to be one of the most versatile books I read. Apart from their loyalty and love Charlotte, James and Michael have for each other, there is a thrilling search into Charlotte's parents and her tragic past, the lies and secrets that make their efforts so hard. We also witness the wedding of Charlotte and Michael. Charlotte's doubts, and James's agony at seeing Charlotte walking down the isle to Michael but that is nothing compared to what he goes through during the wedding night, he feels he must stay away from. His emotions are so beautifully expressed, it made me cry. Also some aspects of their lives made me laugh and I would find it hard to name a book that had taken me on more of an emotional rollercoaster. What else is literature meant to do? I absolutely love following their lives and I can't recommend this whole series highly enough. Love it or hate it, one thing is certain, it won't leave you indifferent.

This series is a spinoff of both Buying the Virgin and Mastering the Virgin series. This book is best enjoyed after reading at least one of the other series, but both series are so good!
Part One Her Master’s Wedding - This book is told primarily from James POV and includes the week of Michael and Charlotte's wedding. Can James allow the wedding, will they go through with it, how will it change the triad...? I liked seeing James vulnerable, that is a side Charlotte's "master" doesn't usually show.
Part Two Her Loves Touch - This book is told in just Richard, James and a little of Michael's POV all centering around Richard's wife Elizabeth's birthday. While it was an engaging story and told very well, in my opinion I don't like the "sharing". I liked that after the wedding the triad wasn't going to indulge in any more "treats". It seemed to me to go against Michael's character. I would have preferred a more voyageur birthday night with the couples in the play room then the sharing.... again, that is just my opinion. I don't like where the sharing seems to be going forward as well, it's just not for me.
Part Three The Sin of the Parent - The triad with Richard and Beth's help are still looking for clues to Charlotte's parentage. Are Beth and Charlotte related? They also must locate the spy who is still reporting back to Klempner. I really liked the flash backs that go back many years and show Charlotte's mom growing up and how she left home. Not a lot of steam in this one, but suspenseful finding and researching clues.

Wow what a box set, This is a three book box set:
Her master's wedding, . Charlotte is having some anxiety with some of the wedding. They are all wondering will this wedding change things. Michael is getting married to Charlotte . The best man is James . Things are tense and not what they seam. The need to get to the bottom of things on James todo list. I love that we still get what Klempner is thinking and a hint to what may happen in the future. We also got to see that everyone need assurance or had doubt that things would change. Simone nail this book. She kept with the timeline, and hit the emotions and insecurities well. I enjoyed reading this book .
Her Lovers touch : There are a few surprises in this book and this time I caught them. I love the dynamics in these group of people and they way they think or care about each other . I like the way James pov gives us an inside look to what he is thinking and planning and why. Things are starting to take a wild ride .
The sins of the parents : The group is going through Elizabeth family's papers trying to find out more of Charlotte family and her connection to them. Make you wondering why all these people are hiding and why. Which leads to more questions . I love the way Simone Leigh is starting to tie things together well done I can't wait for the next book in this series.

A sexy, sizzling box set starts Charlotte’s Search... A “10” Star ⭐️ Series!

Holy Hotness!!! We have another smouldering series in the long running saga of Charlotte, James & Michael. Continuing on from “Buying the Virgin” & “Mastering the Virgin”, “Charlotte’s Search” picks up where the previous series left off. Ms. Leigh’s storytelling is spellbinding & will leave you wanting more... If you haven’t read the first two, I would highly recommend you “one-click” to add this & the others to your own library. Trust me, I guarantee you won’t regret!

Each story in this box set leaves you wanting for more. The storytelling, the characters & the chemistry are off the charts. The interaction between my favourite trio gets more interesting, especially when Richard & Elizabeth are added to the mix. I just love how Simone is revealing more about the previous relationships & the connection between Elizabeth & Charlotte. What will happen when these relationships are pushed to the end? Will there be a happily ever after for the group? Will they finally find out enough information to piece together Charlotte’s past?

After reading Kirsties Tale I was really looking forward to reading the beginning of Charlottes search. The story is told from all the main characters point of views and gives amazing insight into the motivations that drive them as well as answering some of the questions raised in earlier books. Let me say I still feel sad that Charlotte marries Michael and not James but I understand why Simone made this choice. I love the way Simone has managed to interconnect her three main stories in such a way that although reading them together makes for an amazing family saga that they can also be read and enjoyed independently but I recommend new readers should immerse themselves in all three series to really understand and enjoy the characters. Yes, there is sex, a lot of sex but this is not your average BDSM book. The scorching hot sex scenes compliment the story not drive it. Add in a seriously creepy villain and a search for truth and you have one hell of ride. Looking forward to continue to see how much more Simone can torture her amazing cast. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who loves romantic Suspense with more than a bit of kink. Shame I can only give it 5* deserved so much more.

Charlotte’s story continues …
Part One - Her Master’s Wedding
Simone is one of my top 10 authors and I love this series. Most of the story is told from James’ point of view about the wedding of Michael and Charlotte in front of their family and friends. Behind the scene, James is troubled with thoughts of his past marriage, and their trio dynamics changing. You won’t want to put this one down as you will love seeing James in a new light!

Part Two - Her Lovers’ Touch
This continuation of Charlotte, James and Michael’s story with an added twist of Richard, who is James and Charlotte’s Boss and his wife, Elizabeth. What do you get your wife for her birthday that has everything? Will Richard find the perfect gift for Elizabeth with the support of Charlotte, James and Michael? You have to read to find out and you won’t want to put the book down.

Part Three - The Sin of the Parent
This story sheds light about Charlotte’s mother, the early years of the Haswell Corporation and James and Michael continuing to provide for Charlotte’s future each in their own way. Another page turner that I didn’t put down until I finished. Now anxiously awaiting the next segment!

[Robyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read these three books as standalones.

This book covers Charlotte's wedding to Michael. All three seem to have some reservations that this might cause problems for their triad, but James wanted Charlotte to have protection if something happens to him. How are they going to make sure their relationship survives. We also see Klempner still planning something that will involve Charlotte.

Richard is looking for the perfect birthday present for Elizabeth, but what do you give a woman who seems to have everything? James, Michael and Charlotte are still trying to find out more about Charlotte's mother, but what is Michael going to find in the paperwork from Elizabeth's uncle?

The search for Charlotte's parentage continues. Can they find any leads in Beth's Uncle Albert's estate? We see more links with the past and information about a widening range of people. You do need to have read previous books in this series to get the full effect of this story.

[Douglas Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the latest collected volume in the author's ongoing BDSM omnibus and the story keeps getting better.

By this time, the author's two original storylines have crossed and characters from both series appear throughout these stories. While I do recommend reading either (or both!) stories from the beginning in order to fully understand the background, this is actually a pretty decent starting point if you are just coming on board. You can always go back and fill in the blanks later.

The later stories have evolved into a bit more of action/intrigue stories than straightforward erotica, but we are still treated to some nice steamy scenes along the way, including plenty of D/S. This could be considered a negative if you just want the sex and discipline, but I find it has given the stories more depth and makes them more than just a quickie.

As always, the story and characters are well crafted and well worth the read.

Highly recommended.

[SmallRain · Rating 5 out of 5]

This set contains three stories. The first involves getting Charlotte married. There are concerns on all sides minor and major. Among the minor is Charlotte’s fear of formal occasions. The major concerns the three of them very concerned about how this will change their relationship. Will James stop being her Master, will Charlotte stop loving James. The next involves Richard trying to think up a birthday gift for Beth. She has everything. A unique solution is found that ends up involving all five of them. The last is more about Charlotte’s ongoing search for her mother. There is a very nasty man involved. He wants Charlotte not for her sake but because he hopes to lure Charlotte’s mother out. Beth and Charlotte find out they have an odd connection but unfortunately though some things are solved the search is still ongoing and the danger remains.

arc review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. After James (master) being shot and the wedding preparations he's having some feelings he didn't think he'd have and about after.we get to hear more of how the birthday gift for Elizabeth went and more about Elizabeth and Charlotte 's family and where that's going . Klemper is still plotting behind bars.richard, Elizabeth , james, micheal, and Charlotte are looking at old files they found and more information is coming out about AL Kimberly family and her mother. Who is shelly? I'm enjoying they mystery and audience with these books and I just love these characters. 10 stars so worth reading . But must read in order.

[Kkhmonrai · Rating 5 out of 5]

Charlotte has come a long way from the young woman who auctioned off her virginity to fund her college education. She now has not one, but two men devoted to her, and is looking forward to starting a family. The triad has made new friends and cemented connections. Still, not everything is a bed of roses, and life is not always a fairytale. There is still drama, danger, secrets, and shock to color the happiness, friendship, family, and love. I enjoy the way the author weaves together her different series, but I do think it could confuse some readers who may feel like they are missing some pieces. The best solution is to read them all.😉 And, as always, beware of cliffhangers...you should expect them when you read a book or series from Simone Leigh.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This box set consists of 3 AMAZING stories. These books are amazing and in typical Simone Leigh style will have you fanning yourself and needing a cold shower after you read about the erotic chemistry shared between the main characters and the BDSM lifestyle. Enjoyed continuing to read the story about Charlotte, James, and Michael. We read more about friends Beth and Richard also and that made the stories very interesting.

[Sara Munoz · Rating 5 out of 5]

These 3 shorts are part of a whole lot of short novelettes that make up a whole story. This part is of the wedding, search for answers and a special birthday gift. There is a lot of steam and intrigue in these stories. They find out there is a spy reporting back to an enemy. This can be read as a stand alone, but would be much better with all the stories with the background that is alluded to, but not explained in all the detail you would get if you read them together. These stories are a must read.

I jumped into these characters' lives with this read and love it!

While I love reading straight-up erotica, I tend to read things with more of a suspense storyline​, and Charlotte's Search​ has that.

CS is a pretty quick read, and I enjoyed the way the scenes played​ out, helping to build pace and momentum. Also, the characters are well-crafted. I really like Charlotte and Beth, and the interplay between Charlotte, James, and Michael is well done.

Now I'm excited to go back and read the ​origin story for these characters.

[Patty · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think the rotating POV that the story is told from really helps get into the mind of the speaker.The dynamics of James , Michael and Charlotte are interesting yet reveal so many inner vulnerabilities of each of them. It is heartwarming to see such a close unwavering emotional bond! The search for Charlotte’s mother opened another door to suspense and hidden connections. Finding out details through flashback made the situation with Mitch more “real”. Can’t wait to see what happens next!.

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book. An author that I never hesitate to pick up. This author's stories ticks all the boxes in more than one way. I enjoy how the author's use her attention to details to bring each story to life. This is a box set that parts one through three of this series. These are must read stories that have characters that have great growth and great chemistry. They bring steam to a new level. They are fast paced and hard to put down. This is a great box set that I highly recommend.

As always Simone has you on the edge of your seat needing to know what happens next! You'll find my new favourite trio and side duo together exploring desires both in and out of the bedroom... There's insights into the past and steps are being made towards searching for Charlotte's mother. Will Beth's uncles ever admit truths about their past?... Who is the mole divulging information to Klempner?... Can't wait to see what happens next!!!.

With the evolution of this serie, the writting of Simone Leigh got even better. I just love this serie.
In the first book, we got to discover even more of what was happening.
In "Her Lovers' Touch" Another the story keeps improving, the details are so more profpund... I just love the evolution. It has lots of twists and turns and often the unexpected happens.
In the last book of the box, we will discover who Charlotte mother's was.
Hot scenes included... As always.
And I just hate Ben!

This is an epic beginning. Charlotte's search wil give you more insight into the characters of this inriguing and suspenseful tale for our lead lady. It is dynamically a wonderful start and of course the characters are sinfully erotic and stunning. A beautiful start for this journey and it will thrill you and melt you at the same time. A true must read trilogy

If you've been following the highly erotic and suspenseful saga of Charlotte, James and Michael then you have to make this part of your collection. Beginning with their wedding and following all the clues along the way concerning Charlotte's mother. You'll also see our friends Richard and Elizabeth being brought in tighter and tighter. This has to be one of the best ongoing series as only Simone Leigh has the innate ability to tell their tale.

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a great series and I absolutely recommend reading this whole series and it’s absolutely brilliant that this part one is in a box set so you can binge read the whole thing in one go. I really enjoyed reading menage romances but I also like the fact there is a story not just the romance and steaminess

Charlotte's Search - Box Set One

Charlotte's Search - Box Set One continues the story of Charlotte, James and Michael with parts 1-3 of the new series.
1. Her Master's Wedding
2. Her Lovers' Touch
3. The Sin of the Parent

They may have thought that they were about to get a white wedding and beautiful HEA but there are still enemies and danger, along with a lot of sizzling hot BDSM playtime. This new series dives you headfirst into this menage and in the best way possible.

This is another great set of books from Simone Leigh. This is more of the story with Charlotte, Michael, and James. We are learning more about the dynamic of the three now that they are married. Then there is Beth. This is just a great series with the kink element added. I could not put it down. I need to know more about the triad. I feel like I know them and need to know all about them.

[Miranda Summerset · Rating 4 out of 5]

4/5 STARS! I got this series on audiobook for free & I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I don’t love erotic fiction, but this had such an interesting plot & managed to be steamy & spicy but not corny or overdone. The characters are richly written & it flew by. My only complaint is not reading the original series first because I didn’t realize this was a spinoff. Definitely adding those to my tbr list asap!
