Gorgeous, loyal, poised, and all grown up. Riya Guiliani had been a thorn in my side since we were kids, it seemed not much had changed.Except for the fact, she was known in influential circles as “the fixer,” and she was back in NYC to clean up a mess. Mine. Who cared that I was a little reckless? I hadn’t turned my father’s million-dollar company into a billion-dollar empire by doing what was … billion-dollar empire by doing what was expected of me.
But sometimes the unexpected was exactly what we needed.
And I needed her in a way I never saw coming…

I enjoyed this book was a nice read with good characters that you could see books for them as well. I enjoyed the whole family aspect of it all. Riya was a strong capable women who hates to be vulnerable, Leo or should I say reckless Leo, strong family man but playboy? I hope we see the other family members in books.

Leo is in charge of running his family’s business but his propensity for showing up in compromising positions is affecting his image which is impacting his business reputation. Riya, aka the fixer, is the woman who is called in to help correct Leo’s poor image. These two have a history as they grew up together and had crushes on each other. Not to mention that their fathers went into business together. The more time they spend repairing Leo’s image, the more those old feelings start to resurface. However, when Leo overhears a conversation, he makes an assumption that drives a wedge between him and Riya. Can Leo fix his own mistake? This is one interesting friends to lovers storyline fueled with drama. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
Reckless Romeo was a quick, enjoyable read for me.
The chemistry between Riya and Leo could be felt instantly, right from the start. And let me tell you they had some steamy moments.
I did however find parts of this book a little predictable but I’m ok with that and enjoyed it nonetheless.
If you love a good friends to lovers romance then this is for you!
Another great hit in the Cocky Hero Club world. A friend to lovers that turned to enemies to lovers romance and two of my favorite tropes in one story. Loved this read. Great characters and a great storyline. Riya and Leo had great chemistry between them. Steamy read that will have your fanning yourself one minute and then laughing the next minute at the banter between the characters. Loved this story and I can’t wait to read more book in the Cocky Hero Club world and this author. Great read.
I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
MAN, this story was damn near perfect for me! It hit all kinds of right spots for me LOL I haven’t read a whole lot by this author before, actually, I think maybe just one other story and that was recently for another series. THAT story hit the spot just like this one!
There is one, not mayor but also not minor, point about the story that was lacking. In my opinion, if one of the tools or layers of a story is a couple’s past, especially one so deep rooted as Riya and Leo’s going back to their childhood, it is always best to show the reader that past on the page. Especially when that past defines the present. It gives the story a full layer of emotion that is integral to the dynamics of the leads and helps the reader understand their past better and connect to their story. That didn’t happen here. This story would have been off the charts had that happened.
The connection and journey Riya and Leo underwent in this story was sexy and passionate and very emotional. Some of that was because of the family connecting them but it was mostly their chemistry and great writing from the author.
4.1 stars
Other than a short novel in an anthology, this is the first time reading this author and it sure won’t be the last. Great enemies to lovers story between Riya and Leo. The author did a great job showing how a certain Romeo could mend his bad-boy ways and become something that wasn’t just a face for the tabloids.
This would have been even better if I had some context of the backstory between these two characters. I wanted to understand more. There were a few other areas that I was confused about, the main one being why they had the pivotal misunderstanding in the first place concerning Leo and his father. Still, even with those issues, this was a great addition to this world.
I’m not sure what Sienna Snow’s ethnicity is, but I adore how she makes her characters’ background so important, and family is everything. In Reckless Romeo, Leo’s family is from Belarus, and Riya’s family is from India. The two immigrant fathers bonded, created a business together, and even built a compound for both families. It was really terrific how Snow wrote these two families, who fought and made up but ultimately cared deeply for each other.
Leo and Riya have fallen out over the years, but now Leo needs her help desperately. Stakes are high, and the family business is on the line. She’s created a high profile PR group, and she’s there to revamp the Romeo’s image. It’s been many years but Leo is still blown away by her.
“Long black hair cascaded in waves around a face so beautiful that one forgot the intelligence behind the dark-brown, almost black eyes. And God help me. That body. Curves in all the right places. Perfect for a man to hold, to mold, to %#&$.”
And Riya is no different. These two are explosive from the get go.
“Yes, he was hot, with his thick black hair and perfectly sculpted face. And that body. No wonder women threw themselves at him. What the hell was I doing?”
“Who was I kidding? He’d always had that sex-mixed-with-chocolate voice.”
Snow masterfully gets these two childhood friends together and flirts with mixing the past with the present to knock down emotional walls and allow an undeniable love in. This is a family story at its purest. About forgetting the past and all the misunderstandings, and create a future full of fire and magic between two alpha personalities.
There’s so much genuine emotion in this story, and Snow knows how to bring it right through the pages to get you in the gut. You might wanna knock Leo out sometimes for his behavior, but he’s just as vulnerable as Riya is. Snow was able to write two scared workaholics who only needed to face their emotions to complete their love story started a long time ago.
This was my first book by Sienna Snow and I loved it. Leo and Riya were raised together their whole lives, bestfriends and even though they viewed everyone else as family they never could see one another in the same light. Always hiding their feelings for each other until they cracked. It was such a sweet and sexy book. I loved every minute of it and highly recommend it.
Riya and Leo.
Both from humble beginnings, both now in the public eye but for VERY different reasons.
He’s reckless, she’s reserved.
Their frenemies to lovers story was awesome.
It was a little forbidden, a lot of fun and surprisingly very sweet.
I love the strong women who can take on the Alpha men. Riya can take on the arrogant CEOs and the cocky Hollywood types. I liked that she and Leo were familiar and grew up as family, but didn’t see each other as family. The memories were fun to read. Yet, the chemistry was explosive. I like reading about the characters struggle with their feelings when there is so much at stake.
Reckless Romeo by Sienna Snow is part of the Cocky Hero Club series but each book in the series can be read as a standalone. This is Riya and Leo’s story. What an excellent childhood friends/enemies-to-lovers read. Riya and Leo were once childhood friends but due to a misunderstanding, Riya left and their friendship fractured. Now Riya has this great job where she is known as a ” the fixer”. Her PR firm is known worldwide. She handles Hollywood clients and clients who can’t behave and need her skills to get them out of jams. Leo is always in the papers and its his father that calls on Riya for help to get him out of his latest trouble.
Riya and Leo have a past. There’s this antagonism yet this connection and sizzling hot chemistry that about to blow up and outta control. Will Leo let Riya help? Will their misunderstanding be cleared finally? The twists and turns are intense and emotional. The story is written perfectly. Plus the cast of secondary characters add to the story. I’d love to read their story someday soon!
My Rating: 4.5 stars ********

This is another great addition to Cocky Hero Club Novel Series. Leo and Riya are from immigrant families and are childhood friends turned enemies These two grew up together but drifted apart. Leo has gotten in trouble and his father hires Riya a professional fixer . It was a quick and fun read . I enjoyed the family dynamics and how these two even though were totally opposite of each other were so perfect for each other. It was a fun and enjoyable read.
I am always intrigued by Sienna’s story and I love how she incorporates different ethnicities into her stories. This was no different. Riya and Leo are from different places but had similar starts. They’ve known each other since forever. When she needs to help him with his business and image is where the fun starts. They’re sexy, flirty, fun, and I love the family dynamics.
What an amazing story!
I loved Leo and Riya! They grew up together and have feelings for each other, but haven’t acted on them. When Riya comes to help Leo, sparks fly! They have amazing chemistry and their banter was very entertaining and enjoyable. They make the perfect couple! There were so misunderstandings and meddling from some well meaning family that caused them problems. Will they work it through or go their own way? You’ll have to read it and find out! You’ll enjoy it too!
This wonderful romance supplies a boatload of feels to the reader. I thought Leo and Riya’s story was fun, cute and emotional. The story easily pulls you in and has you more than eager to linger. I love characters with a rich history and that is exactly what you get with this book. I really liked both Riya and Leo and I thought that their chemistry was off the charts. This is a book that is a bit sweet, a bit steamy and a whole lot heart melting. I am electing to post a forthright review.
