The Expecting series is one of Charlotte Lamb’s largest themed collections, with thirty-seven titles published between 1997 and 2013. Each book uses pregnancy or a baby as a catalyst for romance, whether through unexpected pregnancies, secret children, or arrangements made for a baby’s sake.
The series reflects how popular the pregnancy trope became in category romance during this period. Lamb wrote many of these books during the late 1990s, and the later entries in the collection are posthumous reissues and compilations. Titles like Accidental Baby, The Baby Secret, and The Pregnant Bride make the thematic focus clear from the cover.
