Behind the Flame is my first venture into Renee  Harless’s writing. This is a slow paced love story. Harless builds small towns, like I grew up in. So it’s a world I relate to. Both the main characters have just moved to Carson. I don’t feel like the story would work if it was a quicker pace. Small town are a slower living so the pace makes sense and works. The build up to Ridge and River noticing each other is sweet. The chemistry between them is off the charts once they have their true first meeting (you know the one with swapping names lol). Harless has done a great job…
