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…

A great start to the cocky hero club!
But then again what do you expect for the magnificent Sienna Snow.

Revelations, jealousy, secret relationship, emotional this book has it all and Sienna does a beautiful job connecting family together.

There is so much attraction and chemistry between them make the job incredibly difficult. Leo hot and a bit cocky. Leo and Riya also have to navigating their big family dynamic.
This was my first read by author Sienna Snow. I will say she has a gift for creating and developing strong female leads. I have always loved the sense of Family in a book and Sienna Snow writes it exceptionally well in this story. I hope to read more Giuliani-Vaughn stories in the future.
This is one of the enemies to lover story that the sparks and steam just seem to leap off the pages at you. This was a 4.5/5 read form me. If really had everything you expect and need from the pages of the Cocky Hero Club.
Ok, I think I have a new favorite Cocky Hero book! I felt like this was a quick read but there was also so much detail in that package. I fell for both Leo and Riya hard with both of them being at the top of their professions and having a fire inside them that was just waiting to be released. Their banter (fighting) was hot and their sexy times were even hotter. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough because I needed more and more! Even their families were amazing, I need more of all of them stat!!
Leo and Riya grew up together and have gone through many stages of their relationship from friends to enemies. Now that they must work together as Riya helps Leo, they have a chance at something more. Since they have known each other for years it was fun to watch their back and forth as they work together and get to know each other as adults. This is my first book from Sienna Snow and it is an enjoyable addition to the CHC world.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.
Reckless Romeo by Sienna Snow is a part of the Cocky Hero Club Series but can be a standalone alone book if you wish to do so. This is the story of Leo and Riya. Riya is known as the ‘fixer’ who comes in and fixes messes created by other to restore their image. Riya and Leo are from immigrant parents who have know each other since they where younger…almost even friends. So when she is called in to help with his playboy image it puts them back in each other world. Enjoyed their story
This was my first Sienna Snow read but by no means my last. This Cocky world story based in the Stuck Up Suit world has a little of everything you want in a good romance – snark, teenage angst, adult angst, Playboy, and holy heck VERY nice steam. Leo needs a publicity makeover and his childhood friend/nemesis Riya is tasked with the thankless job. Both are in for a rude awakening when the each realize, they’ve had it all wrong all along!
Sienna is phenomenal at delivering strong, beautiful, female characters and I truly love that!
Leo and Riya are childhood friends turned enemies. Leo is a playboy through and through, but one huge mistake brings Riya back home to her family to fix it.
Tame the Romeo and move on is her objective. But their is so much attraction and chemistry that isn’t the easiest job to do.
One thing leads to another and Riya is charmed by Leo, but can she keep him? Or is he up to his old antics of love them and leave them?
This is a hot as hell, enemies to lover story that is sure to keep you turning the page!!!
This is a wonderful read. Leo and Riya are from 2 immigrant families that formed their own family when the fathers went into business together. These 2 grew up together and had crushes on each other. Leo has gotten into trouble with his partying ways and it’s affecting the business. Samir, Leo’s father, hires Riya, a professional “fixer” to help repair his reputation. Sparks fly when these 2 are near and they each have to remind themselves the other is off limits. This book has family, head slaps, sparks and hot steamy scenes.
Riya and Leo are a great couple and who doesn’t love friends to lovers with a twist of friends that are like siblings t0 lovers. This story is so good. Sienna Snow did not disappoint and this story was unique and great. You couldn’t help but root for them to figure out their story along with their family’s.
This is my favorite book from this round hands down and will most likely be in my top favorites when they are all released. I love the story of childhood friends turned enemies turned lovers. I also love the dynamic between the two immigrant families who handed together to form and incredible family full of love. Riya is my favorite female character out of all the CHC heroines I have read so far. She is tough as nails and exactly what playboy Leo needs in his life. The chemistry between them burns hot. This book was perfect length, was paced well, had a great story with even better characters. Five star read all the way!
** I was generously provided with an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest review.**
When I started reading Sienna Snows books I wasn’t sure what to expect. That first book 2 years ago had me hooked and she has not disappointed me since. This book is no exception Leo and Riya are written so flawlessly that you feel as though they could be your neighbor. The plot twist and turns take you on an adventure that stimulates and intrigues you. Can’t wait for the next book.
Magnificent read with wonderful characters and amazing back and forth banter that week keep you glued to the pages.
This is my first read by this author, wasn’t quite sure what to expect but i loved every page. The banter back and forth between Leo and Riya kept me turning pages. Great read, can’t wait to read more from this author
4 stars
Reckless Romeo is the latest installment, and Sienna Snow’s contribution, in the Cocky Hero collection of works by different authors. Since I am a huge fan of Ms. Snow’s work, I knew I’d enjoy this novel and I wasn’t wrong.
Leo and Riya are the latest generation of success stories in two hard-working immigrant families. The families toiled alongside each other after first coming to America and are now living their American dream. The connections down through the families are beautiful and rich and the parents are immensely proud of their children. Ok so maybe Leo is living his life a little too large these days but it’s nothing professional “fixer” Riya can’t handle. Cleaning up Leo’s bad boy image isn’t a walk in the park though and it thrusts these two together in a way they’ve avoided for a very long time. They fight like cats and dogs but sizzle with sexual tension. Can they keep their hands to themselves long enough to save the family business?
I loved this story. The story of immigrants coming to America and forging such beautiful futures for their children was so heartfelt. The children reminded me of that shirt that says “I am my ancestor’s wildest dreams” and I loved how close the families were. Leo and Riya were great, both of them hiding giant hearts behind those walls. Really great read!

Leo and Riya are a feisty couple together in the boardroom and especially in the bedroom. Leo has the reputation of being a hot headed devil-may-care kind of man and Riya comes to his rescue to clean up his act. That’s her job, she is a fixer of reputations for celebrities and men and women who don’t “behave” themselves. Trouble is Leo and Riya have a very long history. They have known each other since they were kids and their families are heavily connected to each other. Now they are all grown up and definitely do not see themselves as a brother and sister relationship anymore. It takes all their willpower to keep their relationship professional. Well that does not last and their hot encounters with each other are steamier than a hot sauna.
I enjoyed this friends to lovers story and the angsty chemistry between these two. Another Winner Winner Chicken Dinner for Sienna Snow.
Sienna Snow writes characters with so much ego and depth. Her female characters are strong, her men hot an a bit cocky. Leo and Riya both fit the mold. They have grown up together, lusted after one another and now it is going to take all of Riya skills to save Leo’s reputation. Now adults, the attraction is off the charts, the bedroom is hot and they need to define what they are while navigating their big family dynamic. I have always loved the sense of Family that Sienna Snow writes in her stories and I loved the compound scenes and the reasoning behind it. I hope to read more Guliani-Vaughn stories in the future.
Riya and Leo grew up with both their families very close. He has built their father’s company into a multi- billion dollar business. Riya has built her own PR company and is known as “the fixer”. Her client list full of Hollywood’s big names. Leo’s name ends up in the gossip headlines one to many times and his father hires Riya. Will they let down their guard in order to find love?
I have read several Sienna Snow books so was excited to see her writing in the Cocky Hero Club World. Love Leo and Riya and their entire families. Enjoyed the interactions with the original characters too. Sienna gave us some laughs in this sexy story. Loved this great addition to the Cocky Hero Club World.
Sienna Snow has delivered a wonderful addition to the Cocky Hero Club. Reckless Romeo is a friends to lovers romance with a little bit of the enemies to lovers aspect as well. Leo and Riya are childhood friends that feel they need to keep their feelings at bay and stay apart from each other. But when Riya is called back home to help with Leo’s reputation nothing is easy. Riya is a strong female that can hold her own with the best of them and Leo is a guy that usually get what he wants. Their chemistry during this book was off the charts hot and sizzling, their family dynamic was fun and inviting, and their friends and siblings are ones you want for life. I loved every minute of this book and wish there were more books so we could read about the siblings as well.
Yet another great book from Sienna Snow. In Reckless Romeo we follow Riya as she tries to reform the image of playboy billionaire Leo. Who also happens to be her childhood crush. She, however, did not realize that he has always had a crush on her as well. When forced to endure repeated interactions the sexual tension multiplies until it explodes.
Snow is known for her sassy, strong, and independent heroines that bring their heros to their knees and Riya and Leo are no different. Their story was thoroughly enjoyable and it was nice getting a peek into Graham and Soroya’s life after all this time. I definitely recommend this or any other Sienna Snow book.
This is a fun read, a friends to lovers, hate to love romance that almost goes off the rails because no good comes from eavesdropping. The sex is scorching hot and Mira and Neil are fun characters that add laughter to the mix as does Aunt Sandy and the sagesse of Soraya. The epilogue is lovely and this is certainly a feel good book if you need a pick me up.
