Until next time… Happy Reading!
Carissa had to get away from her parents before they made one more decision for- her marrying her off to that man. It didn’t matter if she had to run and hide as long as she didn’t have to go back. Finding Kolton’s farm with Bonnie and Caleb made things far more complicated but saved her…. until they found her.
Kolton had sworn off anything of the heart since his ex betrayed him so being pushed into an arrangement to save Carissa wasn’t what he expected. But somehow just what he needed- if he can keep her safe.
This story is a bit long but full of angst, steam and sweetness. You get to see the lengths people go to with hatred in their hearts and how far family that’s full of love will go to protect their own.
I’ve had this on my list for awhile to read, glad I finally was able to.

This is the best book I’ve read recently. I’d definitely give it 5+ stars if I could. I’ve become a real fan of Karly Morgan and this book certainly lives up to her excellent standard. I have to admit that it took me awhile to really get into this one, but I think that’s because I haven’t been feeling 100% and not anything to do with the book. I’m so happy that I persevered and was able to enjoy it to the max. The book revolves around Carissa, Kolton and their families. After the first few chapters I was hooked until the end. It was so well written with absolutely amazing characters and I experienced a gamut of emotions while reading it. I felt the attraction and love between Carissa and Kolton. I felt Carissa’s fear, her loss and her anger. I felt Kolton’s frustration, fear and pain. I felt the love and respect between Bonnie, Caleb and all of the ranch hands. I felt the anger and disgust that they all had towards Carissa’s mother, father and Carver. I laughed and I cried, in fact, I became fully involved in this book. I think this might be one of those books that I’ll read over and over again. Really, you all NEED to read this book, I promise you’ll love it as much as I did.

Carissa was always a good girl. Least until her controlling parents pretty much sold her to Carver who is a mean lawyer for a deal to help her parents. Carissa cannot marry Carver so she runs away and ends up on Kolton’s ranch. Both Carissa and Kolton are attracted to each other. To help Carissa, Kolton marries her but that still doesn’t stop her father from trying to kidnap her. Interesting story but at times I felt Carissa was too meek. I liked Kolton as he was a great guy but didn’t buy into Carissa as much. Still good suspense within this story.

I love when I read a romance that it includes suspense in it as I feel it makes for a better and more interesting read.

His mom suggests she marry Kolton so he dad can’t force her to marry the attorney. She marries Kolton but this is where the action and drama begins so good you must read

I read an advanced copy via Booksprout and I leave my voluntary and honest review.
This is my first book by Karly Morgan and it won’t be my last. Hiding Behind Love is a great romance story about Carissa who grew up with wealthy, controlling, selfish, and greedy parents. All she wanted was to please them but try as she might she’s never shown the affection and love a child deserves from her parents. She draws the line when her father demands she marries an obnoxious and slimy lawyer in his firm. When he refuses to listen to her she runs away from the city and ends up at a ranch.
Kolton is the hot, alpha, ranch owner Carissa ends up at. It’s instant heat, instant attraction, insta lust, and insta marriage so that Carissa’s father will not make her go back and marry the unwanted attorney. Attempts are made to kidnap Carissa, some violence, fear, and suspense until it’s all resolved in a dramatic conclusion that will knock your socks off!
This was a really good story and I recommend it. I’m looking forward to reading another story by Ms. Morgan.
This beautifully written storyline captured my attention from the very first page and the well developed characters were very engaging which kept me glued to my kindle until the very last page!
This book is a good storyline that is intriguing and captivating. The characters are enticing and engaging. I do appreciate reading this book.
she has lived her life as a people pleaser and when she meets him she finds herself wanting to do her focus on her happiness. I really liked this story and while its a little unrealistic in the best way a romance novel is supposed to be it will also resonate with a lot of women because we do tend to put others first in our lives and we all secretly want our own happiness.

What a wonderful, sweet, love story. I am usually turned off by instant love stories where there seems to be no build up to a forever love, but the way this was written was so well done. The supporting characters really helped drive this story and make how Kolton and Carissa ended up together feel logical not forced. The chemistry and love between Kolt and Carissa jumped off the pages and directly into my heart. I fell in love with these characters and their support characters. I was turning the pages as fast as possible wanting to know what happened next. The suspense, heart break and anger kept my emotions on a roller coaster, twisting and turning along with the storyline. Great writing! Great story! Super Awesome Characters! I don’t think there is anyway you can go wrong with this one. This is a must read.
