The Shadow of Obsession (Charlotte’s Search, #6)
By simoneleigh
Our heroine continues her quest for her mother, encountering new clues and revelations.
This is book 6 of Charlotte’s Search, but it is much further down the road for the series as a whole. While it is possible to jump in here, I recommend going back to the beginning of Charlotte’s Search. That makes a better entrance to the series if you don’t want to go back to the very beginning.
As usual, the story is very well crafted with fascinating characters and lots of secrets and revelations. I find that this late in the series, the BDSM aspects have taken a bit of a backseat to the mystery elements, but they are still present and there are still steamy parts. The resulting story is actually more satisfying for the addition of this depth.
Still highly recommended.

Another absolutely fantastic instalment in Charlotte’s story. As the search for her mother continues, we learn more about Klempner and how he became the man/monster he is today. We see more of his relationship with Mitch as he tries to possess and control her. The more answers we get, the more questions are generated, and of course there are surprises. James’ daughter shows up, but it is not the reunion he had hoped for, and a figure from Charlotte’s/Jenny’s past arrives, too, and that creates issues for Michael. So delicious! The mysteries of the past slowly reveal their secrets, and I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book.

OMG what a read! As I have come to expect from this author this is another fantastic book. The plot continues as we learn more and more about Charlotte and those who are in her life now and how they have been in the past. This story is so well written as it skillfully weaves the past in to the present so that it all comes together. I can’t wait for the next book to see where it goes from here. I would encourage everyone to read this series from the very beginning, trust me you do not want to miss any of this story!

I love this series!!! The past is catching up to the current for Charlotte and James. Charlotte and Michael are planning James’ future. The story line is genius. I typically hate cliffhangers but I love waiting for what’s to come with this series!!!

We continue seemlessly from the last story with Mitch and Klempner’s return from their Christmas holiday. But once again he starts pressuring her for more and is leaving on business which gives her time to think. But just as she seems to have made a choice she makes a discovery.
James’ daughter arrives and has a great effect on him.
And then there’s arrival someone from Charlotte’s past and the men learn more about her.
The building of layer upon layer of information and emotions brings us to an end of this part of her search of unimaginable horror for our beloved Trio. Here’s hoping Ms. Leigh doesn’t keep us in suspense for too long.
I received this ARC in return for an honest review not necessarily a positive one.
Intense storyline
Simone’s writing allows the reader to feel lost in this book. Simone does an excellent job of explaining the past while not making the reader feel like they should have started at book 1 to get the gist of what was happening. Charlotte is the main female character. Michael and James, Charlotte’s husband and her Master (yes in that order!). In this story, you get a glimpse of the past, present, and future. It is a perfect continuation of the storyline for all that has gone in Charlotte’s, James’s, and Michael’s life. It is attention-grabbing and intriguing. Charlotte is trying to find out what happened to her mother. Michael and James are trying to help her. Also we are getting more information about James and his life prior to meeting Charlotte and Michael. Charlotte and Michael come to some decisions about helping James through this rocky road. The dynamics of the Triad are explained once again as they all come together to support each other to make the relationship work. Its quite a human tale. There are revelations made to Charlotte by the Arch Villain in the storyline, Klempner. So there are several intriguing and intense storylines in the book. Although in this book the BDSM scenes are less it is still a steamy storyline. So one caveat, if you are not into the bdsm genre then this probably isn’t for you. Thankfully I am! I recommend this one to you.
Wow .. what a book .. again a part with more revelations. I keep engaging in this series .. from the beginning I was already addicted and I hope that more parts may follow. I can recommend it to everyone to read this series .. 5 stars from me

I love how this story is developing, the characters lives are getting more complicated and their is more tension and edginess to it. The reader is certainly being kept on the edge of the seat. I loved it. Simone, you have turned Charlotte’s story into one not just about the steaminess but into a well balanced book with enough steam to keep people happy but also a thriller. Very well done.

Holy hell what a great book! If you have been following this series you are going to freak on this one. Seriously! There is a lot going on here, so many twists and turns. Wow! As always, it it exceedingly well written. And yes, it is very hot. But the plot?! It just keeps getting more interesting and twisted. Trust me, you will want to read this one.

OMG!! Michael found a picture of Connors, Mitch, and Klempner in a police file when hunting information about Charlotte’s mother. He’s waited until after Christmas to give it to her, not knowing what her reaction would be. So many pieces of this puzzle are being unraveled yet with each new piece of shocking information comes another set of unanswered questions. Simone Leigh has brought a new depth to this triad story that will absolutely entrance, enthrall and mesmerize. I feel like I know these players and yet I’ve been kept in the dark as much as Charlotte, James and Michael. My journey with this group has become an obsession to find out what happens next.
I loved this installation of the series. You will laugh and cry right along with the characters. I am so glad there is some resolution with some older characters. I cannot wait to see what will happen next with all of the characters.

I received this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review.
My goodness things are heating up when we go back in Mitch’s life when Klempner was trying to convince her to be with him & only him, but it’s here we have a pov by Mitch & she goes to Blessingmoors & sees who they have there but then things are left for us to wonder what comes next for Mitch.
And see James’ daughter Georgie turns up the first time in years & things don’t go as he hopes, which then makes Charlotte decide on what she needs to do for him.
At the end I do start to feel a little bit for Klampner well as a child.
Also Charlotte’s first, Chad arrives to the hotel as the new self defence instructor Charles which we see how jealous Michael becomes which I found quite humorous.
Great episode
This is the continuation of Charlotte’’s search for answers. It also includes some interesting twists about her past and her Master James past also. Her Mother Mitch has a bigger role than previous books. If you have followed Charlotte and her husband and her Master, then this is the book to read!! Steamy also!!!

Wow, I’m so blown away. This book is full of surprises. You will definitely go through the motions, but you will not want to put this book down. As the plot thickens and twists and turns starts to unravel a bit only end with a shocker for now. I’m so looking forward to the next book.

Charlotte’s web gets more tangled
Simone is one of my top 10 authors and I am addicted to the Charlotte series! This part brings out more of Charlotte’s mother’s past, Klempner twists (OMG!), Charlotte twists and James’ struggling over a meeting with his daughter. Charlotte proposal to Michael to get James out of his funk can bring a new dynamic to the trio. I could not put this book down until I finished it and now anxiously awaiting the next part to be released!
