A Naked Flame
The fact that Christie was a successful actress and film star didn't mean that she wasn't fit to be a mother to her little son Kit - but her ex-husband Logan seemed to think it, and he was determined to take the boy away from her. Could he possibly do it?

aka Sheila Holland, Sheila Coates, Charlotte Lamb, Sheila Lancaster, Victoria Woolf, Laura Hardy
Sheila Ann Mary Coates was born on 1937 in Essex, England, just before the Second World War in the East End of London. As a child, she was moved from relative to relative to escape the bombings of World War II. Sheila attended the Ursuline Convent for Girls. On leaving school at 16, the convent-educated author worked for the Bank of England as a clerk. Sheila continued her education by taking advantage of the B of E's enormous library during her lunch breaks and after work. She later worked as a secretary for the BBC. While there, she met and married Richard Holland, a political reporter. A voracious reader of romance novels, she began writing at her husband's suggestion. She wrote her first book in three days with three children underfoot! In between raising her five children (including a set of twins), Charlotte wrote several more novels. She used both her married and maiden names, Sheila Holland and Sheila Coates, before her first novel as Charlotte Lamb, Follow a Stranger, was published by Mills & Boon in 1973. She also used the pennames: Sheila Lancaster, Victoria Wolf and Laura Hardy. Sheila was a true revolutionary in the field of romance writing. One of the first writers to explore the boundaries of sexual desire, her novels often reflected the forefront of the "sexual revolution" of the 1970s. Her books touched on then-taboo subjects such as child abuse and rape, and she created sexually confident - even dominant - heroines. She was also one of the first to create a modern romantic heroine: independent, imperfect, and perfectly capable of initiating a sexual or romantic relationship. A prolific author, Sheila penned more than 160 novels, most of them for Mills & Boon. Known for her swiftness as well as for her skill in writing, Sheila typically wrote a minimum of two thousand words per day, working from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. While she once finished a full-length novel in four days, she herself pegged her average speed at two weeks to complete a full novel. Since 1977, Sheila had been living on the Isle of Man as a tax exile with her husband and four of their five children: Michael Holland, Sarah Holland, Jane Holland, Charlotte Holland and David Holland. Sheila passed away on October 8, 2000 in her baronial-style home 'Crogga' on the Island. She is greatly missed by her many fans, and by the romance writing community.

The OM's name in this second chance story is Ziggy. And I saw way too much of him with the heroine - and he wasn't at all interesting.
Neither was the ambitious actress heroine who admitted motherhood wasn't her first choice and that she couldn't have raised her son without his devoted nanny. The heroine did nothing in this story but attract unflattering tabloid stories. She also did a lot of sunbathing and thinking bitterly about the hero. There is no food porn in this story because the heroine was on a perpetual diet of coffee and orange juice.
And speaking of interesting.
Neither was the hero who had been divorced by the heroine after he raped her four years before. He let her and the unborn child go because he felt guilty about the rape and trying to control his young wife by urging her to quit drama school and get pregnant. Now he's back wanting custody of his son because the tabloids said the heroine was living with two men.
We're about two thirds of the way through the story when the heroine leaves LA for London without telling the hero. Hero kidnaps the child back. Heroine follows. They spend a few nights in the same house. They have sex and finally talk. HEA
I don't know what this was - but it wasn't a romance. Ziggy had more page time than the hero. The H/h shouldn't own a dog together - never mind raise a child. Their reconciliation took all of five pages in the last chapter. There was no food porn. The LA descriptions sounded like a guide book. The heroine had the makings of an OW, but she was too lazy. Their son will be a next-generation alpha with Mommy and Daddy issues.
You know who I liked in this story? The young devoted nanny with the quiet voice and the endless patience. She should have her own romance and it shouldn't be with Ziggy.

Out of twenty books, A Naked Flame has to be the worst Charlotte Lamb I’ve read so far.
Christie married Logan, a man 12 years her senior, when she was only 18. She lived in California hoping to start a career in Hollywood, but her chauvinist husband wouldn’t allow it. He controlled her life totally and wanted children ASAP, but Christie wanted to wait. They argued, he raped her, she left and filed for divorce. The rape resulted in a child. For five years Mommy and Daddy never see each other while sharing custody of their son. Now Christie is a hot movie star with a male friend whom she mercilessly cock-teases. The press hounds Christie so much so she moves to England with her son–-without telling her ex-husband. This obviously angers Logan and he and Christie fight it out for custody.
It’s not the plot that I object to; it’s the horrific execution. Up until page 100, the hero and heroine interact twice, except for a brief flash-back into their marriage. It’s as if Charlotte Lamb wanted to write a longer book, found she had almost maxed out her word count so just summarized all the interesting parts and drew out all the boring, mundane scenes of Christie going to lunch and parties with other guy. The actual romance portion of this book is limited to two, maybe two and a half chapters. I wouldn’t have minded if the scenes with the other man were fun, or at least we saw the heroine’s personal journey to “enlightenment” or sumthin’...but no. Christie is a Cnidarian of the lowest order. (That’s a fancy word I learned for jellyfish. See, home-schooling works for parents and kids.)
As for the other man...why isn’t he ever named something strong like Wolf or Magnus? Instead he’s named Sheldon or Arnie or Dilbert or in this case Ziggy!
So our major conflict consists of a love triangle between the Sensitive-New-Age-Guy slacker type:
And our manly hero Logan:
Enough said. (Apologies to Karla, Mossy Love-Grotto and Cheshire-Catt for poaching on their schtick.)
What a pointless boring book with a wishy-washy, stupid heroine who wouldn’t know her ass from the Grand Canyon.
Ugh.

A Naked Flame - this must have been one of the famous "banged it out in a weekend" novels CL was rumored to have concocted. For a CL it is remarkably flat. H meets h when she is 18, she wants to be an actress, he wants a young enough girl he can mold into a domestic servant and brood mare. They fight, he rapes her, she divorces him but she is preggers and gets full custody.
That is all five years before the start of the story. The h moves her son to England without telling the H, who comes to see his son for a few hours twice a month. She has also gotten involved with an alcholic slacker named, ( I kid you not,) Ziggy. There is lot of introspection on her career (she wants to be a British Stage actress as opposed to a movie star), discussions on her marital demise and going around with Ziggy.
Things come to a head when she is out with Ziggy and a drunk picks up on her and there is a big fight caught on camera. The H goes to England, kidnaps her son and she follows to protest. The H decides he is keeping the son, yet lets her take him out to Disneyland after a few dasy. (Which made no sense, she could have taken him back to England just as he kidnapped the boy to America) There are questions about other women. Then another forced seduction which ends with the h's participation then HEA as the H won't try to force her to his will anymore but still wants her.
Essentially if you read the first and last two chapters, you have read the entire romance part of the book. The rest was pretty much irrelevant with no H and h interaction, so keep that in mind if you run across this one and only have limited time.

Wishy-washy heroine + big fat jerk hero = unsatisfying story
October 25, 2013
the story starts wid christie being proposed by another man ziggy. ziggy has no backbone n is a mellow character. he's not the best person 2 get involve wid if u have a child but christie feels comfortable wid him n more importantly, safe. this is important becoz she was raped by logan 4 years ago n dats the reason she left him. it was a good book but it cud have been awesome if der had been more interactions between logan n christie.

Charlotte Lamb was such an outstanding HP writer that even this trainwreck - in which the H has raped the h in the past - gets 4 stars from me because of her writing.

18-year old heroine marries sophisticated hero 12 years her senior. She wants to pursue a career in acting. Hero is domineering and expects her to stay home and have his babies. He RAPES her, which ends their marriage. Heroine has a child as a result of the rape; she has primary custody but allows hero visitation. Flash forward 5 years post-divorce. Heroine is 27 and has a successful acting career and is considering marrying another guy and moving to London to pursue theater.
Much of the scenes involve the nice, but weak minded other man "Ziggy".
Meanwhile, our macho, dominate hero only pops up a few times in the story.
Hero abducts their son and takes back to his house to thwart heroine's plans of marriage and moving to London. Heroine follows. They jump into bed and profess their love. Hero admits to being domineering and trying to get his way in their prior marriage, and that he feels guilty for raping her explaining that's why he allowed the divorce.
This was a two-star story for me. Bonus star because Charlotte Lamb's writing is so good.

First he marries her, then tries to beat her into submission, then he rapes her.
Then she divorces him, finds out she's pregnant, has a baby and goes onto acting.
Then he comes back into her and her sons life, demanding she not do this and this with another man, yet he is consorting with another woman, then he kidnaps their son.
Then she goes to get her son back, discovers about other woman, she fights him, he confesses love and they are back together.

This book had a woman and her ex husband fighting over custody. It is a trigger of mine so I DNF at 45%.

This wasn't a bad story, though the solution to all their troubles was simple: as Christie realizes later, she and Logan should never have gotten married when they did. She was only 18, studying acting and planning on a career in the theatre, too young to marry a 30-year-old man, who was ready to start a family. Logan should have had better sense, and known she was too young to be a wife, much less a mother. Naturally, at her age, she was caught up in the romance of it all, not knowing what marriage would entail, but there was no excuse for him to rush to the altar. They could have waited a few years.
Instead, he got too possessive and jealous, she got too wrapped up in her acting classes and friends, neither was willing to budge, and the next thing you know, they're divorced, she's raising their (unplanned pregnancy) son, Kit and making a good living as an actress, he visits their son regularly (thank goodness, the author didn't go for that "have the kid in secret and don't tell the ex about him" trope) but they avoid each other like the plague.
Then, when Logan misunderstands a picture in the gossip column, he determines to get Kit away from what he considers a bad environment, and Christie makes the dopiest decision to marry her acting buddy, Ziggy (stupid name for a stupid guy), who is clingy, needy, pathetically desperate and has all the maturity of a preschool kid. Not only that, but he also drinks too much! But Kit likes him (naturally, since Ziggy never grew up), so Christie convinces herself, halfheartedly, that she'll be happy, even though she feels nothing for him but friendship, even though she's still turned on by Logan, even though she can't imagine Ziggy as her husband, etc. etc.
It becomes an emotional tug-of-war, with their unsuspecting son caught in the middle of two self-righteous parents who can't see the other's side.
It's hard to root for a couple, when the phrase "two ships that passed in the night" is better suited. Or at least, they should have reconnected a few years later, when they both (hopefully) would have been less self-involved. Oh, well...

I didn’t think this book was as bad as the other reviewers claimed I’d give it 3 1/2 stars almost 4 because of the excellent writing and the last part of the story.
The heroine was very young and career driven when she married the hero. The relationship was very stormy, the marriage ended and she became pregnant and had a son. The hero granted her a divorce and full custody of the boy until she stared running into troubles with the press and the crowd she hung out with exposing her as an unfit mother (which was untrue but the optics weren’t good).
Without revealing too much -The hero and heroine don’t spend a lot of time together interacting. In much of the book the reader was privy to her thoughts and conflicted feelings about the hero and what went wrong in her marriage. She never admitted to herself she loved him yet her thoughts were constantly set on him.
I liked the ending- hero did his share of apologies and groveling in the end and I liked the way they talked out their problems, each apologizing and admitting to their fault in the relationship and the way they decided to alter their relationship to give it a go the second time.
I would have rated this higher if she spent a little more time with the hero and a lot less time with the OM and came out truthfully to the OM about her decision to not marry him.

Hot garbage!
This is a mislabelled horror/thriller where the bad guy gets away.
There is rape, childknapping (on both sides), a few assaults, dragging, manhandling, breaking and entering and judgement of the "artsy" types. Oh yeah! I forgot that the guy ripped her swimsuit off so he could see if she had a tan all over. They were not dating. Sweet... Also, just remembered he used concern over the child to mask his jealousy... Dad of the century!
This is not a romance. This is not even one of the over-the-top funny HP romps that strains the bounds of credulity and reason. The author tried to ram the romance in but the book was already too full of non-romantic, horrific elements. There wasn't even an attempted apology for the rape (thankfully this was not described in any detail). Instead we got the "hero" sneaking into the bedroom in the dark and tackling the victim to the bed for the closing scene of the book. This was supposed to be the reunion scene. I know the times have changed since this book was written but this is unconscionable.
All I can say about this story is an inarticulate "Eww!"
Alternate title- "True Life: I had my rapist's baby and now we share custody".

En español se llama 5 años después. Las tres estrellas son porque yo califico de que tanto me entretiene un libro. Y este fue el caso, pero los temas que se trataron aquí fueron muy delicados pero la autora los trato como si realmente no tuvieran importancia. Hablo sobre violencia familiar, secuestro infantil, violacion...
Son temas difíciles, duros y simplemente no se que paso todo fue por encima y al final todo tan apresurado, en un momento discuten y al día siguiente es -te amo y quiero volver a casarme contigo. WTF

I liked the plot but the end of the story breaks my heart. Why would a bad guy win in the end? Ziggy seems to be kind and caring. Anyway, as they say, the good guys will always come last.

This time Christie would stand up to him
Christie had been far too young and intoxicated with love when she and Logan had married. He'd wanted a family. She'd needed sometime to pursue her career.
After their painful breakup Christie had resented carrying Logan's child. But now her son was even more vital to Christie's happiness than her career as a famous film star had ever been. And she wouldn't let Logan use lies and gossip to take Kit away from her.
Losing Logan's love had almost destroyed Christie. She couldn't bear to lose their son as well.
