Charlotte Stein is one of the queens of steam… and also, of unconventional love stories. The “bad guy” and the good girl, but with so much *oomph*!!!
In fact, I went C-R-A-Z-Y for her book “Sheltered“. And here’s a new series – standalones – with one book out (<— the one to the left) and TWO more books coming!
Jean: if you are going to try Charlotte Stein, I suggest you read Sheltered! Maryse and I both loved it, and I just saw that she was a little disappointed in Never Loved. Sheltered is short, but definitely meaningful (and hot)!
Tracy: I’ve been a bit addicted to Charlotte Stein. They are short so I can finish them in a day but they pack a punch. Finished Sheltered last night and loved it.
jen: ohhhhh! a new Charlotte Stein book!!
About book #1:
Beatrix Becker spent most of her life under the thumb of her controlling, abusive father. And now that she’s free and attending her dream college, she has no idea how to act like the normal crowd: partying, going on dates, even having a conversation. Then she meets Serge Sorensen. Big and surly with a whole host of riotous tattoos, Serge is supposed to scare the hell out of her. But beneath his harsh exterior, Beatrix discovers a kindred spirit who knows what it’s like to be a misfit. Most exhilarating—and terrifying—is what he does for a living: illegal street fighting.
There’s nothing like the rush Serge gets from the intense athleticism and brutal glory of combat—though his chemistry with Beatrix comes close. Slowly at first, he introduces her to his world, where he lives by instinct, passion, and desire. He even helps her out with her equally traumatized brother. But when Serge gets in too deep with the wrong people, he ends up paying in blood. And suddenly, just as Beatrix has been drawn into Serge’s perfectly sculpted arms, she’s thrown once and for all into the fight of his life.

OMG! I am an idiot. I didn’t realize you loved Charlotte Stein as much as I do. She is my only one-click author, seriously. When I first read Deep Desires, I was hooked and have read all of her books ever since. I understand she is a acquired taste due to her style of writing (lots of inner monologue and non-typical heroines &heroes), so when I mention her most people don’t even know who she is.
So glad you all get her. 🙂
YAY Elizabeth!!!
Yes!! I love her especially because of her voice and her unique characters.
