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.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Reckless with You is Book #2 in the Less Than series. Amelia Carr makes some embarrassing mistakes but Tucker (swoon) ends up being a worthwhile one. I love them together and I love this series!!
One best friend’s little sister.
Plus one fake relationship.
Plus a few embarrassing mistakes.
A sexy interlude.
A shocking secret.
And a whole new way to see who could be a forever.
I’m so glad to have Carrie Ann’s books! Each one is a special treat. She never disappoints me.
Amelia and Tucker are great. Their story had me turning pages for more. I did not want it to end. Ameila has been hurt by her best friend after declaring her love. Having her heart broken, she comes up with a plan that includes her brother’s best friend Tucker. As her crazy plan plays out they get to see each other in a different light and start questioning love and relationships. I love the Carr family and everyone in this story. Have Kleenex ready for the beautiful, loving emotional ride.
Another fantastic book by Carrie Ann Ryan! I loved everything about this book except what Amelia’a ex-best friend did to her. But it brought her Tucker. Tucker is such a good guy. He takes care of her and is there for her when she really needed him. He even lied to his best friend for her. This book has so much emotion all through it. So much love and a little bit of laughter. I loved how Tucker always had the right thing to say to make Amelia smile. These two are perfect for each other. One more Carr to find his happily ever after. I can’t wait to read that book!
Amelia and Tucker was a pairing that I did not see happening at first. The whole best friends little sister storyline is always a winner with me. The interaction between them was so good that I was rooting for them the whole time. I love how the whole Montgomery family series has expanded to give us more stories about those in the Montgomery realm no matter how distant the connection.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Amelia professed her love to her best friend, and it back fired.
Now to recover, she came up with a crazy plan.
Tucker was Amelia’s brother best friend.
When Amelia presented her crazy plan to Tucker, he was weary of this plan.
But to help Amelia, he agreed to the plan.
What started as fake, turned into something very much real.
Amelia did not know what hit her.
Is Tucker really “the one” all along, and Amelia missed it ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
I absolutely love Amelia’s story! Amelia is doing what she loves and has her best friend there along with her for everything, until one night when she tells him he more than just her best friend. She is devastated when he tells her he has a girlfriend, one he has kept from her. Her bothers know something is up with her, but when they become overbearing its Tucker who decides to do something about it. Tucker is the brother’s best friend and a total player. Amelia decides that he should be her fake boyfriend so everyone will leave her alone. That sounds good in theory, until she really gets to know him and feelings start to cross their “friends” line. This is pulls at your heart, is funny, sweet, steamy…all the things you love about Carrie’s books!
5 LOVE STARS!! Wow, this one will pull on you heartstrings. I absolutely loved Amelia and Tucker they were so relatable. Their story has all the feels and keep you turning pages…..it is so good. I highly recommend this book to all romance readers.
I LOVED Amelia and Tucker together so much!! I was so super curious about Amelia and Tobey, and then Erin had me super curious about her relationship with Tucker. Both Amelia and Tucker took us through some seriously interesting loops throughout this book. It made for such a fun ride!!
From the crazy Amelia and Tobey moment, to the hysterical Tucker and drunk Amelia moment, all of it had me cracking up! BUT, only Carrie Ann also knows how to bring in the perfect amount of everything else. There were so many emotions and the perfect amount of tough moments. Seeing these two develop this relationship was so awesome. DENIAL was a big part of their relationship though. Best part of this was the siblings!! I loved how all of the people in their life knew them better than even they knew themselves! I cannot wait to see what else is going to come from these CARR siblings and their friends!
Ms. Ryan pulls a sneaky surprise with the emotional and heart touching Reckless With You
Amelia is a woman who’s got it together yet a hot mess all in one. A hardworking, independent and caring woman. A woman who thinks she make bad decisions, but I think she is just living and learning. A woman who loves her best friend. A woman who found the courage to tell just what she was feeling and found rejection. A woman who feels and found something right under her nose. Amelia was an amazing character. Her confidence and self doubt found a way to balance each other out making her this wonderful person all around. Amelia feels, learns and lives.
Tucker is the guy you know you can count on. Not having the best childhood but much better than it could’ve been he knows what it’s like to not have a family and those he calls her family are those of his choosing. Tucker has this deep sense of caring that goes beyond a job or a friend. While being a very tough man he has this emotional side that we don’t see in a lot of male characters. For someone not having a family his sense of family is truly amazing. Deeply decided, passionate and compassionate.
I truly thought we were going to get a best friends to lovers story with Reckless With You but Ms. Ryan tips the scale and gives readers a brother’s best friend story. Amelia and Tucker have an emotional story. I’ll be honest I cried quite a few times. There are some ups and downs, yet their chemistry and passion came naturally. Ms. Ryan hits the heartstrings one again.
got to love a book that starts with a twist.
I loved this story. Amelia and Tucker were great together. Bunches of ups and downs and a few questions that were left hanging but wonderful story.
I looooove a good tear jerker (Idk why, maybe I am just a masochist) but I seriously do! Give me romantic and steamy tear jerkers all day and I’m one happy lady. This book is TOP TEIR. GO READ IT!
I Absolutely loves reading Amelia and Tucker’s story. The way it unfolded was super enjoyable. Loved the twists in the story I didn’t see it at all. The story keeps you reading right to the end. Carrie Ann Ryan has a style that is truly enjoyable and keeps you looking for more.
Reckless With You is the second book in the less than series. It’s a brother’s best friend romance and I just love these two characters. This story is gut-wrenching and heartfelt. You go through all the feels. I love the Carr Family just as much as I love the Montgomery’s. This story is definitely not what you expected, if you read the previous books featuring the other Carr siblings, but I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I adore all of Carrie Ann’s books and this one stole my heart as well. I highly recommend this story, but I would definitely start with book 1, so that you have some background on Amelia. A definite 5++ stars for me.
I love Carrie Ann Ryan’s books but I must admit this book sort of surprised me and I’ll explain why. I automatically add her books to my TBR shelf and grab at any chance to read them and to be honest I hardly ever read the book synopsis because I just know I will love them no matter what. So, when I met Amelia and her friend Tobey I ASSUMED this book was going to be a friends to lovers story, which is a trope that I do enjoy especially since I married my best friend, well color me surprised when it turned out to be a Siblings Best Friend who turned out to be the one that sole Amelia’s heart!
Tucker hasn’t had an easy life moving around from foster home to foster home, he did have a good one that lasted a few years but once you turn eighteen you age out and are on your own which is when the Carr’s became his family, his best friend Devin and his brothers and sister became the family he never had and he would do anything for them.
Amelia confessed her love to her best friend Tobey only to be rejected in the most bitter of ways and she was humiliated and sad and lets face it she had a right to be. For me that anger lays with Tobey, I swore there was something going on between the two of them, her whole family thought there was as well…guess the joke was on everyone because Tobey turned out to be a real A-hole and that’s being nice. I really kept hoping he would redeem himself somehow but sadly things with him just kept getting worse.
Tucker as I mentioned would do anything for his friends and that includes Amelia so when she concocts this plan that he be her “beard” so that her brothers and friends will stop looking at her with pity in their eyes he goes along with it, only neither of them expected for it to turn into more.
This story has a secret that I figured out very early on but not to the scope of which was revealed and let me tell you I went through a half of a new box of tissues when it came out. Slice me open why don’t you Carrie Ann!
I really loved this book, my only thing is I wish better of Tobey I feel like we all got played by him and that doesn’t sit right. I understand why things had to happen the way they did I just wish that somehow he could have redeemed himself…shoot I was hoping he was hiding a drug addiction and that was why he was being so cruel now isn’t that just messed up. LOL
Anyway, I’ve ranted on long enough so now go grab a copy for yourself and be prepared with a box of tissues and a tall glass of ice water because you are going to need both.
Happy Reading!!!
Amelia had the perfect plan all worked out to show her best friend that she wanted to be so much more than friends but it turned into an epic fail and she soon realizes that she never knew the man her friend really was. Her friends and family are killing her with kindness, so she decides the only way to put an end to it is to pretend to be dating her brother’s best friend Tucker.
Tucker has chosen the Carr family as his own so when Amelia asks him for help he can’t say no even if it means not telling his best friend the truth. They have seen what happens when a friendship goes sideways and are determined the same thing won’t happen to them but it is only a matter of time before the only ones that they are trying to convince that the relationship is fake is themselves.
It is always fun to catch up with the Carr family and Amelia and Tucker’s story which is filled with hot chemistry and all the feels is no exception.
Reckless with you has captivated me. It is a beautifully written masterpiece. It captivated and enthralled me. Falling in love is beautiful, nothing is better. Hands down my new favorite book. A must read for all book lovers. A truely fantastic read.
Absolutely loved this book. The emotions are so real and the problems something that happens more than we think. Carrie Ann Ryan writes from the heart and makes you feel like you know the characters.
I have fallen in love with the Carr family. This book was really great and I liked watching the friendship and thus the relationship evolve between Amelia and Tucker after the Tobey (with an e) situation, which I have to say I’m glad he is out of the picture. So many things going on in this story for both Amelia and Tucker but through it all the Carr’s and their friends are always there. I am glad that everything came together for not only Melinda, Robbie and Evan but especially Amelia and Tucker. One of my favorite lines was, ‘I’d never be alone again, not with the family I’d made from bonds, not blood.’ Can’t wait to see what happens next with Zoey and Caleb.
