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.

Reckless With You
WOW, I love these characters and their story is so emotional at times, I give the warning tissues should be kept nearby for this one.
The narration is great and really brings the characters to life
What happens when you tell your best friend you love him and he tells you he’s found “the one” and it’s not you? Well you use your brothers best friend as your beard so your family won’t hover. However you should tell said beard first before family! This is the start of a funny, happy, crazy love between Amelia and Tucker. Could not put the book down!
Amelia Carr is the little sister of the overprotective Carr brothers. (We’ve met two in previous books.) Amelia loves her family, but she is tired of everyone worrying about her and her bad luck with men. When she realizes her friends are ready to play matchmaker, she decides to take matter into her own hands. But why is the first name to roll off her lips as her newest beau, her brother’s best friend, Tucker? Sure, he’s handsome and built like a god. But he’s also cocky, arrogant and knows his way around a woman’s body. What she didn’t see coming was that first kiss. Now, that’s all she can think about. Is she willing to use Tucker to get everyone to leave her alone? What happens when feelings get involved? Can she risk Tucker losing the only family he knows in her and her brothers?
Super sexy story with beautiful people. Great read to become part of a family during the holidays while escaping your own.
This story and plot was a little different than the 1st book. Amelia and Tucker are so cute. I had a lot of those I want to smack the extra characters over the head of beat them up moments in this story. This is an interesting spin on the best friends sister story line. Trust me it’s not your ordinary tale. I’m a big fan of the Montgomery series and all it entails to reading the less than series was a no brainer. I like how Amelia and Tucker grew as they were there for each other. I did do “what were they thinking” and “how could they” and “Oh no” moments in the story. Lots of ups and downs and love and laughter throughout the book. Yet another great story and can’t wait for #3 to release.
Reckless with you is the story of Amelia and Tucker. The story starts with Amelia getting into a pretty awkward situation with Tobey. The situation sets the tone for her development of her relationship with Tucker. The development and slow build between Tucker and Amelia is fantastically written and very enjoyable. Tucker is one of my most favorite characters in this series. Amelia and Tucker run into obstacles and one huge curveball but the ending is very sweet and perfect. Amelia and Tucker have chemistry in spades and I loved reading their story. Another great installment in the Carr series!
I absolutely loved listening to Reckless with You by Carrie Ann Ryan. This older brother’s best friend fake romance was emotional and touching. My heart felt every word of this story and I could not stop listening. A beautiful story about family, love and friendship brought to life by Samantha Cook and Jacob Morgan.
Tucker may not have had a family growing up, but he has a family now. The Carr’s mean everything to him. They have accepted him and he would do anything or them. He is one of the best book boyfriend’s I have read about and just loved him. He was caring and sweet at every turn. Amelia Carr thought she had it all figured out. But when she takes a chance that blows up in her face, she finds herself a bit lost. She decides she needs a fake boyfriend so her very loving and overprotective family gives her some space. But what neither expected was the explosive chemistry and connection they feel. Such a great read with all kinds of feels and one I highly recommend.
Listened and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy listening!
Ms Carrie Ann delivered again! Amelia has made some rash decisions that seemed awfully wrong. Well, they were but they led her to better pastures. Tucker has been her brother’s bff for a long time and he is considered family. I just love how the Carrs are so caring and united even when you are not blood relatives. Amelia is funny and loving but her love life is a rocky road until him. They are a cute couple, with awesome chemistry
Book 2 in Less Than series, Reckless with You by Carrie Ann Ryan.
Amelia is the younger sibling in the Carr family and even though her childhood was tragic she still had her amazing brothers and sisters but also her best friend from high school Toby.
One night Amelia gives herself a pep talk and turns up to Toby’s house in lingerie and long coat.
After Toby tells her he doesn’t love her that way and that he’s in a serious relationship with another women.
Afterwards a lot happens but the siblings get involved and think dating is the answer but Amelia just wants to process. She asks Tucker to be her beard.
I absolutely loved this book and especially the development of both Amelia and Tucker’s growth in this story.
Absolutely loving this genre by Carrie Ann Ryan I thought I’d miss shapeshifter or witches but I have not been disappointed
A new fake relationship romance!

A new fake relationship romance!
Another great (and very sexy) addition to Ryan’a expansive list!

When her feelings are not reciprocated, longtime big brother friend (& hottie!) steps in to try to help her. But when pretending becomes real, can they stay it together or will friendships fall apart??
I love when 2 people come up with a scheme and end up falling for each other. It was an incredible story and I loved every minute of it. I can’t wait for more from this series!!!
When I first meet the Carr family in Breathless with You, I thought I knew how Amelia’s story was going to go– falling in love with your best friend. But it turned out I was wrong and didn’t expect Amelia to start a fake relationship with her brother’s best friend. Amelia and Tucker’s story had a twist and some lovely surprises. But shouldn’t be surprised that much, Carrie Ann’s writing always blows me away.
This was awesome the funniest friends to lovers I have read and the characters were perfect!!
Carrie Ann Ryan sure knows how to pull you in
What happens when you profess your love for your best friend? The biggest mistake of Amelia Carr’s life. Now Amelia has her very overprotective brothers watching her with pity in their eyes.

Tucker is surprised when Amelia comes to him with her plan. Tucker knows he should walk away but finds himself agreeing to help her. Even knowing Devin will be mad at him, Tucker doesn’t want to see Amelia hurt. As Tucker and Amelia spend time together, Amelia sees the sides of Tucker he keeps hidden from the rest of the world. Amelia and Tucker are both surprised about how their feelings for each other deepen to more than friendship. What happens when someon from Tucker’s past shows up with news that will rock Tucker’s world? Will Tucker push away Amelia and the rest of the Carrs as he struggles with his present? Will Tucker realize that Amelia is the best thing to ever happen to him? Will Amelia stand beside Tucker as he deals with his ex’s surprise revelation? I LOVE Carrie Ann Ryan! Reckless with You by Carrie Ann Ryan is a fantastic book with amazing characters that will make you laugh out loud one minute and want to scream in frustration the next. The chemistry between Tucker and Amelia is off the charts smoking hot. I can’t believe what a jerk, that is putting it mildly, Tobey turned out to be. Amelia is so much better off without that fake and liar in her life. Carrie Ann Ryan is a MUST read author for this reader. I would highly recommend getting Reckless with You by Carrie Ann Ryan. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
I really enjoyed Amelia in the first Less Than book but in this one she was weak not at all what I expected but I did l love her and Tucker together!!!! Tucker is the best part of the book!!! I was surprised by Tobey! I can’t wait to read more in the Less Than Series!!!
This book is full of surprises. I truly thought Amelia’s book would be about her and Tobey; best friends forever to lovers. Boy was I wrong.
Tucker and Amelia are still friends, but not in the same sense. Cue brother’s best friend/best friends baby sister.
Unexpected things happen that cause them both to realize what is really important and what they have is worth fighting for.
Family is definitely what you make it whether you are blood relations or not.
It is impossible not to get invested in a Carrie Ann book! This is another one in the Carr family series. Amelia has had a parting of the ways with her best friend and her family and friends are feeling sorry for her heartbreak. Tucker is cruising through life not getting attached to anyone other than his best friend Devin, Amelia’s brother . He is a family member by choice, not by blood. He is a product of the foster system. They decide to be a fake couple to get her friends and family to give her the space to figure out her next step.
You can feel the love and caring in this family. They look out for their own and have their backs. You feel like you are part of the family observing from the sidelines. The characters have full backgrounds and there is no dragging, just flows through the story. You feel enveloped with them!
