Behind the Lens: A Small Town Second Chance Romance (Home in Carson Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Renee Harless (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 149 ratings
Everything isn’t always what it seems. . . behind the lens.

From drug cartels to classified information, Cliff knows a thing or two about secrets. As a part of an underground government reconnaissance team, he’s seen it all. Until his latest mission.

Making mistakes isn’t an option for people like Alexis. From group homes to moving around with the FBI, her feet never hit solid ground. One wrong move and suddenly her life isn’t just in chaos— it’s in jeopardy. Running for her life lands her in the arms of the first and only man ever to give her a reason to stay.

It’s been two years since he’s seen her, but it only takes him a split second to know that this time she’s not getting away. Cliff puts his training to use and his life on the line to protect Alexis. . . and make her his.

(This is a newly edited edition - July 12, 2022)

Fast Paced Romantic Suspense
4 out of 5 stars
Fast Paced Romantic Suspense
Behind the Lens is a fast paced romantic suspense where the action starts right from the jump. Having never read any of the "Welcome to Carson" books I was a little worried that I would be lost in the characters in this new series starter, Behind the Lens. However that wasn't an issue at all! Carson is a small town with large events and even larger people in it. The character building was great and the action was non-stop. I liked the twists and turns this novel took. While this is a series starter for the new Home in Carson series, this novel can be read as a stand alone. I believe that book 2 will focus on a different couple, which is my favorite type of series, interconnected character stand alones! ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Start to This Series!!

    "I looked you up after the first time Dylan teamed us up together. There wasn't much in your file, as you know, but I was curious none-the-less."
    "Why did you look me up?"
    "I wanted to make sure that you were real."

    Oh, how I have missed Carson, NC!! It's so good to be back!!

    Cliff mostly keeps to himself. Head down, grunts and one-word answers his only communication effort, and only a select few given access to any more than that. He keeps himself occupied with his tattoo shop, Carson Ink, and keeping tabs on her. Alexis. Ever since she left, he hasn't stopped thinking about her. He knows, he's no good for her. He's carrying to much darkness, but she's making him feel again. But, now she's in trouble. Big trouble, and she's back in Carson. No doubt the town will rally around her, but will it be enough? As danger closes in, can Cliff keep her safe, or will his past repeat itself?

    Alexis had felt the connection to Cliff from the first time they met. But, she had to leave. She had no choice. Duty called. When her latest mission goes south and she's put in the cross-hairs of one of the most ruthless men she's known, and one she's known all her life, she finds herself in trouble, injured, and near death. Was coming back to Carson the right thing to do, or is she just bring danger to its front door? Being this close to Cliff again has her hoping for a future she never thought she'd want, but its one she can never have. As long as she's here, he'll be in danger. She may not survive the man who is after her, or losing the man she loves.

    I loved this story!! I'm so glad this author has returned to Carson NC! A whole other cast of characters, while catching up with the familiar ones we know and love. Cliff and Alexis are perfect together!! I can't wait for book two!!

    The story was good. However the author needs a professional editor. She changes from third person to first person a couple of times and some sentences were out of order. It made reading less enjoyable

    I am so excited that Renee Harless has decided to revisit Carson, NC, with her new series, Home in Carson. I am a huge fan of her Coming to Carson series and I had always wondered what had happened to our favorite couples, and if anything had changed in the quaint and friendly, southern town.

    Her new book “Behind the Lens”, is a romantic and suspenseful tale of two people whose careers had been shrouded in secrecy and danger who come together in a time of urgency and desperation, to become each other’s salvation.

    Cliff was a former Army Ranger who was as tough as they come, but under his gruff exterior, lied a thoughtful and passionate man. He tried to keep the darkness of his past at bay, but sometimes the nightmares returned, a grim reminder of what he had done. Being with Alexis had calmed his restless soul and helped to scare away the demons that haunted him. He vowed to always keep her safe and now that she was back in his life, he would never let her go. Cliff may not think he deserved happiness and a family but he will always love Alexis, and he was looking forward to more beautiful and sunny mornings with her by his side.

    I loved coming back to Carson. Definitely feels like home and the Connelly's feel like family. Renee Harless has definitely started this spinoff series with a bang. I fell in love with Cliff and Alexis! Right from the start, this story just captures you and holds you hostage. I stayed glued page after page and couldn't get enough. Amy Connelly is the star of the town and total mom goals. I love her and want to squeeze her.

    Behind the Lens is a total edge of your seat page turner with all the feels. You cant help drool and swoon over Cliff, and you just want to be like Alexis with her badass self. I need more Carson in my life and I already cant wait for the next one. Renee does an amazing job bringing this town to life with her amazing world building and characters that will stay with you. Amazingly written in dual POV, Behind the Lens is a complete standalone with it's own HEA. Cant wait for Behind the Badge which will probably be Preston's story, but I already want to know so much more from all the other characters. Definitely a must read you shouldn't miss out on!

    I was so excited to get back to Carson. We get to see so many of the Connelly’s and it feels like going back home. The writing is superb and makes you feel as if you are part of the small town of Carson.
    This story showcases Cliff and Alexis (we briefly met them both in original Coming to Carson series). I was captivated with this story immediately, and the suspenseful elements kept me turning page after page. Both Cliff and Alex have covert government backgrounds – Alex being a current full time operative and Cliff being a retired Army ranger turned tattoo artist in the small town of Carson, yet still engaging special op assignments as needed. They met prior to this story, and had an instant connection – both then whisked by to real life and no contact for a couple years. But, after a mission gone wrong, Alexis finds herself in Carson with Cliff and needs not only his help, but the help of Carson locals as well.
    I can’t wait to get more stories of some characters we’ve known, as well as some new characters we meet along the way!
