From the NYT Bestselling Author of Breathless With Her comes a fake relationship romance that’s all too real.Professing her love to her best friend while wearing only her favorite panty set and coat probably wasn’t the best decision Amelia Carr has ever made. In fact, it’s perhaps the worst. But when her family becomes their overprotective selves while encroaching on her life, she makes a rash … she makes a rash decision: her brother’s best friend will just have to be her beard. Too bad, he has no idea what he’s in for.
Tucker Reinhard loves women, and they tend to love him even more. Despite the love, he never would have expected Amelia to come up with the plan she poses to him. He’ll go along with it, but only because he doesn’t want to see her hurt—even if that means fighting his best friend.
In the midst of her scheme, Amelia realizes she doesn’t know Tucker as well as she thought. And neither of them are prepared for what happens when they let the façade go and see what truly lies beneath.

Whoa what a book this was amazing I mean this was better than the first book and that’s saying something since I loved the first book. Tucker and Amelia were awesome together and I cannot wait to see how Ms Ryan tops this book.
I absolutely loved Amelia and Tucker’s story. You have Amelia who believe she has found the one and unfortunately it doesn’t work out the way she planned. Tucker is her brothers best friend and when her family feels she isn’t happy and they want to help she enlists him to be her new boyfriend. He isn’t sure about the idea but can’t stand to see Amelia sad and wants to help her. Slowly the relationship becomes real, but other matters have a chance to split the new relationship apart. Great read and the characters have great chemistry. Loved it
I absolutely adored this story!! I loved Amelia! She has made some mistakes and is trying to figure out how to deal with them. I loved the trope for this story, falling for brother’s best friend. It is done really well and the characters just made me fall in love with them. I loved how Tucker treated Amelia. Through all of the story, he never pitied her, he just wanted to make her feel better and be there for her. It really worked. Amelia was losing her best friend Tobey and was trying to make sense of things that kept coming at her. She made a “mistake” but then things kept showing through that changed things. I felt like I could really relate to Amelia with the way that she felt about the mistakes. I might not have professed my love for a best friend but I have absolutely felt like she has regarding mistakes that have been made. In this way the story really resonated and connected to the characters. I loved Amelia and Tucker’s relationship and the way that it was built. This story was a fantastic read and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love more of them. They are my favorite couple with this series and in the Carr family, though I love them all. This is the second book in the series and this is a spin off series as well but this book stands alone. You do not need to have read any of the previous books to be able to pick this one up and fully enjoy it. The previous book in this series does give you a closer look at Tobey and Amelia, but that isn’t needed. It’s all a bonus if you have read them as you know the characters better and get to see old favorites/loves. I can’t wait for the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Absolutely loved the latest book by the author it had a couple twists I didn’t see coming and were great and kept me reading throughout. It’s a page turner and I couldn’t put it down. This book included characters we have seen throughout the series. This is Amelia’s story and the second of the series.
This next installment in the Less than series was a great addition to the series that I enjoyed thoroughly. This standalone read tells Tucker and Amelia’s story to the HEA with each other that the pair was not at first looking for. Both started their relationship under false pretenses with a fake relationship that turned real as well as with Tucker being Amelia’s brother’s best friend. Where this sounded like a cliche story line I in the end did not feel that it was as the pair had relationship issues that they worked through and found that in the end that they have feelings for each other despite the other factors that lead them to their relationship. Their story moved along smoothly with a few bumps in the road and the pair had amazing chemistry. In the audio revision, the narration by Jacob Morgan and Samantha Cook was enjoyable and the pair did a great job bringing this story to life. In the end, I would recommend this book to others.
Reckless With You did not go the way I thought it would, this is book 2 in the Less Than series and Carrie pulled a fast one! I thought that this was going to be a love story about two best friends but it was really about falling for your brothers best friend. Surprise!
Amelia Carr is the baby sister in the Carr family, growing up with three protective older brothers there was never a shortage of love even though it didn’t really come from their parents. Amelia owns her own landscape design business and she loves it. Amelia is kind of awkward and in her head a lot. She has had one best friend, Tobey, for as long as she can remember. Its been the two of them against the world or so it seemed. Things take a shocking turn for their friendship and threatens to tear them apart. The one that is there for Amelia the most is quite shocking, Tucker is her older brother Devin’s best friend and understands what Amelia is going through and knows what she needs, so he helps her and not in the way he expected either.
Tuckers parents died when he was young and he spent a great deal of time in and out of foster homes. Tucker grew up with asthma and had night terrors so he wasn’t easy to place. Tucker is a Diagnostic Radiologist and loves his job. When he met Devin he knew he found his family with the Carr’s. Tucker has some hang ups about relationships being a foster kid he has learned that developing feelings for someone could leave you devastated so he sticks to short affairs with woman never getting too attached. The philosophy has been going good until Amelia has a proposition for him that he can’t turn down.
Reckless With You is on the emotional side and will pull at your heart on more than one occasion.
When you admit you “love” your best friend only to be humiliated, what do you do? Come up with a crazy Plan B, that your family friend agrees to go along with. That’s how Amelia and Tucker’s story starts. There is so much emotion, some laughter and twists, as you go through this journey with them. Another beautiful story and happy ending for this family!
Tucker and Amelia were so great together! I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow from friendship to true love. Readers will love the way that both points of view are shared and you see the push and pull of whether they should give in to their true feelings or remain friends. The love and respect that they have for each other, and her family, is truly beautiful. Amelia is so confused about what she thinks she wants that she makes a big mistake. Tucker is such a great guy that he will lie to his best friend to help Amelia out. This whole family is just wonderful. I am really looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Carrie Ann Ryan has done it again with another great read filled with heart and emotion. She has you hooked from beginning to end completely captivated in watching the story of Amelia and Tucker play out.
I loved the Montgomery family and now I am completely in adoration for the Carr family.
When Amelia declares her love for her bestfriend Tobey she never expected him to tell her he had been seeing someone else and that she was the one for him. I literally felt Amelia’s heart break along with her reading this. She was very lucky to have such an amazing family that stepped up to support her.
Tucker has been an honorary member of the family for years, he is extremely protective of Amelia along with her brothers and likes to check in on her. To get out of a set up by some friends Amelia claims she is seeing Tucker and luckily he agrees to be her fake boyfriend.
Both Tucker and Amelia never saw the change in their feelings coming, they are starting to question everything they thought they knew as their bond and chemistry grows. Of course its never going to run smoothly. Secretes are revealed and pasts come back to haunt them. They just have to be strong enough to get through it and not push each other away.
I loved Tucker and Amelia together, the chemistry between them was palpable and strong. The emotions from all the characters seriously drew me in and got under my skin.
Well done Carrie Ann Ryan on another great read.
Reckless With You is Book 2 of Carrie Ann Ryan’s Less Than series. While it’s not necessary to read them in order, I do feel a reader would benefit from the back story between Amelia and her best friend in order to feel the full experience as to why what happens between them totally blindsides everyone.
This was an amazing story that was jam-packed with lots of twists, turns, confusion, anger, a few laughs and an intense amount of steam! Tucker and Amelia are my new favorite couple.
Received an advance copy from the author.
Loved Amelia and Tucker together, it took a while for them to actually find their relationship since Amelia thought she was in love with her best friend (who turned out to be a putz!). The story line grabs you and makes you want to keep reading. Can’t wait for the next story in this series.
Hauntingly beautiful and so highly recommended.
Intense, embarrassing heart break brings Amelia to her knees and her brothers best friend comes to the rescue, unknowing they will both be brought to their knees in this heart warming, emotionally charged, sexy romance but to get there they must get reckless first and find what surprises are in store
This is my first Carrie Ann Ray book and I really enjoyed it. There were parts that had me laughing loud! This story was full of love, friendship and family.
Amelia was reeling from a confession she made to someone she thought she was in love with and they were not in love with her. Her best friend Tobie is not the person or best friend she thought he was.
She turned to her brothers best friend Tucker and he gladly gave her his shoulder to cry on. What initially was supposed to be a fake relationship with Tucker turned into so much more.
Love the characters, storyline and epilogues!
Great twist on this trope! Absolutely loved this story. Such a good book. I loved Amelia & Tucker. She has had a bit of a tough time in her love life and he helps her figure out how to deal with her situation. I loved how Tucker is with Amelia. He is there for her out of genuine feelings. I loved Amelia and Tucker’s relationship and the way that it grew. Such a fantastic read as usual. I can’t wait for the next book.
