What starts out as a series that is dripping with decadence becomes so much more. The installments start as quick reads but begin to get longer and their are crossovers with other series' as this series grows. What started as a party for two becomes a party for three with additional attendees thrown in on occasion. When they aren't steaming up the sheets, the story starts to fill in some of the holes with intrigue and heartbreak and love. Lots and lots of love. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

ARC review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.This set of stories are 10 stars of awesome writing . It will take through a journey of how Michael and James meet to the auction of Charlotte ..her journey of growth and submission and her trials of life and so much more. To Richard and Elizabeth relationship with them and you will also have so many feels in this stories that you your self will not put it down and beg for more. My wish this could become a movie and not in scream or regular tv so we could get the full scope of this book to screen. Hint. Hint. With all the scenes.

Charlotte begins a journey of survival, learning how to grow and love along the way. Going a Master and a Lover along the way only added to the sparks flying off of the pages. Throw in some enemies that want one or all three of them dead, university studies, reality and heartbreak and you have an amazing series of books. You will cry, scream and cheer as Charlotte lives her wild and crazy life. I can’t wait for the next installment!

Simone is a master storyteller!
Simone introduces you first to the chemistry of James and Michael, and then added Charlotte’s sexual awakening with them. You will wonder how Michael and James become so taken with Charlotte. Each story feeds you small pieces of the 3 characters but more about how Charlotte’s past made the woman she is today. I separately read many of these 18 individual stories as they were released, so loved rereading them all in one book. You will be looking for the next parts in the Triad’s story when you finish this book.

I loved this book!! It had me from the first chapter. Omg it's so hot and steamy that you're gonna need a fan and a cold drink to read it. The things that happen in this book are mindboggling and make you wonder what you would do if you were Charlotte. I do my best to get every one of her books, cause they leave me on suspense!

A Highly Erotic Tome Abundant In Well-Defined Characters And A Carefully Crafted Plot. This Will Take A While To Finish!

The collected books about James, a dominant, and Michael, his best friend, is an enormous read! Here they meet Charlotte, who changes everything.

James and Michael's friendship and long history of taking pleasure in sharing women at the club eventually takes a turn when James is overcome by pictures of a woman he can't get out of his mind. Invited to participate in an auction, he finally gives in to his fantasy about taking a young innocent as a means to celebrate his new success. Charlotte, a beautiful young redhead, has captivated him. And it might cost him his friendship with Michael, who is forcefully against participating in an auction.

Michael 's voice in his head keeps James grounded after he pays the price for his winning bid. He is kind to Charlotte. Once James relents and agrees to meet her, he is immediately taken by Charlotte as well. What follows is the very erotic story of James, Michael, and Charlotte as they navigate what they mean to one another.

Some scenes are loving. Some scenes may be difficult to read. As callous as James might come across at times, from his perspective he isn't demeaning Charlotte, but rather giving her something she needs indirectly, so as not to further complicate their own relationship and scare Charlotte away. It is twisted. It is difficult to see James, the dominant, with all the power while Michael stands by helpless and in love. But Michael finally gets a voice, which is satisfying.

This highly erotic tome is abundant in well-defined characters and a carefully crafted plot with layers and surprises. It is thoughtfully written. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

Charlotte solo tenia algo que le pertenecia a ella con lo que podia vender y lograr tener el dinero para ir a la Universidad, su virginidad. Para ello acudio a un centro de subastas y logro obtener una buena suma. Y no solo eso, tambien conocio a dos hombres que cambiarian su vida para siempre. James y Michael, su "Master" y su "Lover".
James y Michael son mejores amigos y se conocen desde hace muchos años, desde hace años van a clubes de BDSM y trabajan juntos a una sub. Pero cuando James "Paga por una Virgen", le pide a Michael que se una a el para asegurarse de no "pasarse" de la raya con sus metodos con la joven. Lo que no se esperan ambos es enamorarse de esta pelirroja, llena de fuego y aptitud que pondra su vida de cabeza.
Los tres deberan aprender a hacer la relacion estable y ayudar a Charlotte a enfrentar a su pasado que la esta acosando nuevamente.

El libro es una set de las 18 libros cortos en relacion a este trio. Totalmente erotico BDSM, haren invertido. Las primeras historias son puramente eroticas, casi sin desarrollo de trama, pero mientras va avanzando y se comienza a ver el pasado de los personajes la intriga de saber que pasara te mantiene enganchado.
Las escenas de sexo pueden ser bastante fuertes en algunos casos y las narraciones sobre el abuso de menores son impactantes. La psicologia que trata sobre el como una persona viniendo del mismo ambiente que otros con una gran fuerza de voluntad y coraje puede mantenerse en el rumbo que se ha trazado es digno de hacerse notar.
Asi que aqui, la protagonista es claramente una mujer fuerte, terca, leal y cariñosa, que lo unico que ha querido toda su vida es forjarze un futuro y tener una familia que realmente la quiera.
En fin, voy a continuar leyendo el siguiente set de libros sobre el trio, porque, y aunque tiene un buen final, todavia hay cosas que te dejan ese gusanito de querer saber mas.

I'm so glad this is a compilation of previous stand alone stories. I can be sure now that I haven't missed anything. Simone hits the nail on the head with this storyline and I can't get enough of Charlotte, James and Michael! If you like erotic tales, you shouldn't miss this one!

Awesome

First time reading this author. Unbelievable fantastic! Charlotte has a terrible upbringing. As the story moves along the story gets much better. There are some moments of nail bitting. Tensions rise and unexpected turns. Found that I really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to the next series!!

I am hooked on Michael, James, and Charlotte. I read each story individually, it is so great to have them be released as a set.

[Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just too long and still unresolved

[Amelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

The British English was entertaining. Hot bdsm story, rather long for smut. I was impressed that the author managed to keep the sex new considering there were so many scenes.

[Leonara Golosa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a compendium. As such it's possible to have variations in rating of individual parts.

I had previously read all of the individual parts and purchased this volume to have a single entry in my kindle library, deleting the individual and collection-of-three volumes entries. So I knew all of the spoilers and cliff-hanger resolutions. Nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed the reread.

The most important characteristic of Simone's epics in many small volumes (this volume is in the 900 page range) for me is that I can reliably expect at least one toe-curling, exciting encounter, varying from one to seven participants. My favorite in this segment of Charlotte's saga (avoiding spoilers) had five participants.

If you're unfamiliar with Charlotte's adventure and want to wet your toes more than you could in free volumes, this is definitely the way to go. The only major negative for me was that the individual volume covers were not included.

Only three of the volumes would individually be rated a four; all the rest were solid fives. Simone and her team have never disappointed me and I always end wishing her works were longer.

[Vicki Stephens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mastering Charlotte is Simone Leigh’s epic eighteen episode compilation of the complete Mastering the Virgin series. I strongly endorse this remarkable erotic romantic suspense series which has well developed characters and a plot which starts With Charlotte auctioning her virginity which is purchased by James, to the addition of Michael into their relationship, the progression of their relationship from sex to love, pregnancy and finally the formation of a family with the birth of their child. Throughout the eighteen episodes the reader will find intrigue, suspense, passion, sizzling chemistry and love.

This box set is the final form of this author's long going saga and is a must read for anyone who has been following the series and may have missed a bit. This is the full story of Charlotte, James and Michael. It also introduces new characters Richard and Beth. Be prepared for a lot of hot steamy kinky sex which is fantastic.

[Elise · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book but it took me a while to latch on to it and get really interested interested. Charlotte puts her virginity up for a high price auction and James buys it. Michael is drawn in and off they go on their erotic adventures. It's interesting that the vast majority of the book is from James and Michael's perspective, this made it a bit hard for me to connect with the Charlotte character as we never really get a sense of what she feels other than the mens' observations. She's really a mystery until almost half the book is passed, and it is a very long book.

I looked into the background of this story and as I understand it, it started off as one kind of story then became a serial of sorts with the story evolving as the author progressed. This book is the culmination of all the story put together in one epic - and it is epic but knowing how the novel evolved helps you understand why it's structured as it is. For instance, there are a lot of sex scenes. A lot. This sounds appealing and it can be but understand that it takes until at least 40% of the book has elapsed for any other plot to kick in, otherwise it is (no exaggeration) page after page of scenes. The scenes are well done but still, it's a lot of sex and no plot.

But once the plot does kick in it gets quite interesting as a thriller and mystery. Overall I recommend it but just be patient if you're wanting plot outside of the bedroom.

[Judith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fabulous saga, a must-read. I never thought I would be so hooked on a story about a sizzlingly hot, erotic, yet devoted Menage MFM but I think it is a lot more than a story. I would call this almost a SAGA. There is so 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, albeit BDSM threesome. 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, secrets that make their efforts so hard. The book oscillates between the present day, going back to 6-7 years to understand the events and Charlotte's and the lives of the other characters' lives and the events that shaped their personality. 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.

What a great boxset. Wow, what a read. This boxset goes from part one to part 18 family. It tool me a little longer to read with the holidays here. I love this series from beginning to end and the best part was no cliffhangers. This boxset is done in the male pov. so you get their thoughts and feelings. This book starts out with Charlotte selling the only commodity she had , her virginity. James who at the auction decides he wants to make a woman first time good. He decides not to bid until he see some of the other bidders and cant leave this woman to her fate. After the first day, he invites his best friend Michael and this is a start to a how the three of them start on a journey and try to make this life work for them . With what life throws at them the good and bad their journey has makes me laugh and cry.. It also gives joy reading their story. Simone Leigh really knows how to write a story and reel you in and keep you on the edge of your seat. So buckle up for this boxset and enjoy your ride.

Having read all of these books, I am highly recommending this set as it comes at a wonderfully discounted price. I cannot say enough about how much enjoyment I received from reading these books. For those who missed any individual book, this is a wonderful opportunity to catch up on any missing content. There is throughout these books a tremendous amount of romance, suspense, action, adventure, drama, and wonderful descriptions of character and personality (reflecting depth showing both good and bad sides of these people, making them very interesting to read about). I loved the use of flashbacks to explain the background of various situations, and the use of differing perspectives in narrating the tale. I hope readers take advantage of the current purchase price of this set to add to their reading experience.

I absolutely loved this series!
“Mastering Charlotte” is Simone Leigh’s BDSM series featuring Charlotte, James, and Michael in this steamy tale of new beginnings. This is definitely the kind of read you start out fresh and clean and will definitely get dirty along the way as it unfolds like an erotic dream come to life. The drama and excitement catch your attention and holds you in its grasp as you explore how James met Michael and how they both met Charlotte. This tale is everything wonderful about Simone Leigh’s creative talent as a master storyteller. Simone has taken this tale to the next level as the relationship begins to form between Charlotte, James, and Michael. The intriguing storyline keeps you excited and on edge wishing for your own James and Michael and a HEA like Charlotte’s that explodes from nearly every page of this amazing read. I absolutely love and recommend this series.

This is a fantastic boxset from this author and is a must read for anyone who has read later parts of the series or just a book here and there. This boxset lays the entire backstory of Charlotte, James and Michael out for everyone. It also introduces Richard and Beth and brings them into the triad’s storyline. There are lots of twists and turns in this story as Charlotte's history is uncovered and the three of them work out how their relationship is going to work. It’s a long book as it covers a lot so get ready for an amazing read that you shall not want to put down but have to on occasions so you can do mundane things like eat and sleep! Plenty of steamy scenes in this book and quite a bit of BDSM as well. This book is absolutely brilliant, and a must read for fans of the author or the triad (Charlotte, James and Michael).

Simone Leigh is an awesome author. This is my first time reading this box set. It very long when you get it all together but it’s well worth your time!

It’s a book of several series put into one. It starts off introducing James and Michael in their erotic ways. Charlotte, a virgin at the beginning, is brought into the series where James and Michael get to be her first experience of sexuality. Each series builds on the 3 characters. There are a lot of erotic encounters. Simone is a great author and builds on each character and their relationships as the series progresses.

Love this series! Very well written and enjoyable to read!

The graphic detail of the horrid conditions Jenny lived through as a child made very hard reading. It gave me night mares. The series was written to make the reader live the horror with her. In her latter life her actions relate to her harsh treatment as a child. She found her inner strength some where deep inside herself. The author made her a real person, to like, admire and hope for her success in whatever she wants from life. The detail of the emotions of the men in her life could have been real people . too. Its a hard book to read because the situations could have been taken from the daily news. Very well written as
all of this authors books.

This boxset by Simone Leigh is an exceptionally well-written shorter stories that tie together as an extended story that continues. These characters are very well crafted with strength, depth, and grow throughout this whole set of books. This story has so much going for it, it has twists, turns, misunderstandings, betrayal, danger, romance, love and a relationship of 3 well-rounded characters that react realistically and you feel you know them. I am looking forward the the supporting characters stories' and I love how this story is written in bite-sized, very descriptive, hot bites. This is one of my all time favorite author's creation - A MUST READ

A wonderfully well written story by this author. The story was full of sweet and heat along with the right amount of angst written into the story. Following the characters story to the very end was a true blast for me to read. looking forward to the next book by this author.
