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.

Love this series
Loved Amelia and Tuckers amazing beautiful addicting intense second chance
ready for more
Reckless with you is the second book in the less than series. Amelia Carr just bared her soul to the person she thinks she is in love with only to be rejected. When an attempted set up goes wrong, she uses Tucker Reinhard, her brothers best friend, as her fake boyfriend. Will it just remain a charade or will real feelings seep in?
This story has some of my favorite themes, fake boyfriend and best friends little sister.
Another great read by Carrie Ann Ryan. I love this series. It’s so real. The feelings between Amelia and Tucker are messy and genuine. Tucker is such a sweet guy but alpha at the same time. The trope is best friend’s little sister and pretend relationship. The story is also told with a lot of humor. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
4.5 Stars
Another good story in this series. People aren’t always who you think they are. They can surprise you, for better or worse.]
I loved Amelia and Tucker’s story. I thought I knew were this story was headed but I was wrong. I love the way this book was written and I love the characters. I would recommend reading this book
ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SERIES.
And the reason why?besides the usual -i love Carrie Ann Ryan’s writing -the characters are so true to life. Cmon Amelia is winging it and effing up left right and centre, no perfect life for this amazing woman. Shes living HER life, and getting it so wrong -she gets it right. And Tucker may not be the man of her dreams. ..but he is now! especially after that towel!!!! Phwoar
Lived this book. The story was real and yet not gritty and the characters are amazing. Loved it sooo much x definitely keeping it on my kindle x
Simply can not get enough of this highly entertaining series and this journey is both emotional and uniquely thrilling. Was a excellent read from beginning to end. A heartwarming big brothers best friend adventure that was so hard to put down. Loved it!
What happens when you fall in love with your best friend, and he doesn’t feel the same way? You create a fake relationship to get over the embarrassment, of course! This has got to be the most interesting spin on the “best friend’s little sister” romance I’ve ever read! Tucker and Amelia are two of the funniest characters that I’ve read about recently!
Amelia, despite having really horrible parents, has amazing big brothers, that support her and love her. But there is still something missing. What she thinks is love, turns out to be wishful thinking. What starts out as a way to make her family back off, turns into something that makes her want more.
Tucker has spent his entire life alone. A product of the foster care system, he has made his own family, of friends that always have his back. When his best friend’s little sister asks for something totally out of left field, he starts seeing her in a different light. Slowly, despite their best intentions, things change, and neither know what to do about it.
This book was at times funny, and at times serious. Amelia is one mixed up individual, always helping others, but not knowing what to do about her own life. Tucker, on the other hand, is a loner, never letting anyone behind his walls, even those closest to him. He thinks he knows what road his life is on, and is thrown into left field when things take a surprising turn. As always, with this author’s series, family plays a huge part in the story, which leaves me with warm, fuzzy feelings, and a huge smile on my face. This book fits in well with the previous stories about this family, and with the entire Montgomery World. If you’ve read, and loved them, you will enjoy Amelia and Tucker’s story!
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
Tucker and Amelia have known each other for years. He’s never seen her as someone other than his best friends little sister – though she’s definitely noticed him outside of being her brother’s bestie. In a time where her family is looking on her with pity and she needs to break out of their chains she asks Tucker to be her beard.
What better way to make sure Amelia is okay than to pose as her fake boyfriend, right? Well that is until it all blows up in their faces. Amelia’s big brothers are so overly protective. This might just start WW3 if you know what I mean.
This was a cute story of friends-to-lovers romance. I enjoyed the characters and seeing their relationship grow.
I was once again lucky enough to get an early copy of this book. I started out intending to pace myself. I finished the book in one day. Once again Carrie Ann pulls you into a wonderful story of two people brought together when they least expected it. Amelia and Tucker may have known each other for what feels like forever, but they never knew they would need each other so much. Amelia is trying to get over telling her best friend she’s in love with him, only to make a fool of herself. Tucker is a man used to being on his own. This is the story of a love they both needed, but never knew.
Carrie Ann Ryan never disappoints. The Carr siblings are just so much fun. Amelia is trying to get over Tobey and just wants the pity party to stop. So her quickly decided upon master plan just happens to include Tucker—her brothers best friend. Feisty Amelia needs Tucker to be her fake boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong? Loved this story. Can’t wait for the next one.
I LOVED this story! I loved the characters, the story line, the suspense that was thrown in and the seriously HOT chemistry between Amelia and Tucker. There were many laugh out loud moments, as well as some more serious ones. I was drawn in from the moment I started reading and dying to know what was going to happen next. I did not read the first book in this series and was able to read this as a stand alone, however, I think I would have loved this even more had I already gotten to know some of these characters so book 1 will definitely be added to my TBR list along with book 3! A must read book for sure!

As with all of Carrie Ann Ryan’s books Reckless with You is full of family, love, laughter, musings, and misunderstandings, most of which have both humour and poignancy. Amelia is just a delight and Tucker a man full of heart which needs a place for it to rest and be cherished…as it deserves.
With the story involving a wonderful friends to lovers plot, the book takes a further step into the world of the fragility of life and the cost to the heart of loving. Carrie always handles these issues with care and sensitivity and her books are made richer for it.
Another lovely winner from Carrie.
I loved Tucker and Amelia, I had an idea of how this story was going to go, but I was so wrong. They were perfect for each other, with some twists and turns thrown in. Oh and the feels, so many feels. Although I do wish we had some more answers with the Tobey situation, other than that, perfection.
Reckless With You is a story of bonds, friendship, heartbreak and awakenings. Amelia thought she knew what love was, who her forever was and thinking she knew taking the next step would be worth it. However sometimes life isn’t what we think it is when your vision is clouded. Then in a reckless moment, words were spoken, fake relationships were declared and a path that was never expected was taken. As Tucker and Amelia not only lie to their family but themselves, only time will tell if hearts will be broken or healed. As drama unfolds and true feelings are pushed down these two will drown in a wave of emotions. As the tears rolled down my face I wasn’t sure if my heart would survive. A story that was about taking reckless chances and finally realizing that sometimes risking it all will make your heart soar and give your soul peace. Their story was passionate, enchanting, heartfelt and radiated enough heat to melt the snow covered ground. Also, take my advice make sure to read the bonus epilogue as it will have your heart overflowing for two people that deserved every little bit of happiness.
I think two of the best things about this book was that it really showcased the fact that you can think you know someone extremely well and yet still be completely surprised by them and that you can be blind to what is right in front of your face. That is basically the situation you get into with Amelia and Tucker’s book. A well written, engaging storyline is beautifully paired with characters that are so genuine and incredibly lovable. Add in great chemistry, intense emotions, drama, a few twists, humor heart and heat. I truly wonderful romance.
Reckless With You begins with Amelia Carr finally getting up the nerve to tell her best friend, Tobey, that she’s in love with him and ready to take their relationship to the next level. However, once she reveals her feelings to him, things do not go as planned. Not only does he reject those feelings, he informs her that he’s been seeing someone and things that she’s ‘the one’. Mortified beyond belief, Amelia retreats, only to have her family step up to support her like they always do
.
Tucker Reinhard has been a ‘family’ member of the Carrs since he was a kid and one of Amelia’s brothers, Devin, brought him into the fold. He finds himself as protective of Amelia as her brothers. He checks on her a few times, but when Amelia is surprised in a coffee shop by a guy whom her friends want to set her up with, she immediately goes on defense and proclaims she is seeing someone………none other than Tucker Reinhard. Once she tells him what she’s done, he agrees to be her fake boyfriend, even though they both know that lying to everyone is wrong.
It doesn’t take long for Amelia to question everything she’s ever thought she knew about love: did she really love Tobey? Because it doesn’t feel like it when the feelings she has for Tucker start seeping in. As for Tucker, he finds himself, for the first time in his life, wondering what it may actually be like to settle down and have a family of his own. However, when a woman from Tucker’s past reappears with jaw-dropping news, he does what he does best………..pushes people away, including Amelia.
Reckless With You is another nicely written story by Ryan. The characters are engaging and very well written. Amelia is a bit of a loose canon at times, but steadfast in her belief that love and family will get you through anything. Tucker had a hard start in life but hit the jackpot when he met Devin Carr. Even though he knew he wasn’t to blame for his past, he was bound and determined to not make the mistake of letting a real relationship with a woman put his sheltered heart at risk. However, once he realizes that what he’s been pushing away is exactly what he needs, your heart will swell with emotion. The chemistry between Amelia and Tucker is palpable, but what drew me in was the pure emotion between not only the two main characters, but the secondary characters as well. The world that Ryan has created in this series will leave you wishing you were a part of it and I can’t wait for the next one. Well done, Carrie Ann Ryan! Very, very well done!
Reckless With You is a friends to lovers tale guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Who can’t relate to compounding a bad decision by digging yourself in deeper. Sometimes we all need a friend. Amelia Carr may have three big brothers but there are just some things family can’t solve. Family friend Tucker Reinhard is the next best thing. I love these two together. They are totally relatable.
We’re back with Carr family again, this time with Amelia, who’s getting ready to tell her best friend she’s in love with him. Not only does that not go how she had thought it would, it completely swerved into a different universe, and she’s crushed and devastated. He turns out to be not the man she thought he was, which, if I want my review to go through, I can’t use the words I called him. Needless to say, he needs to be throat punched. Moving on to her friends and family, who want to help her, but all kind of look at her with that look, feeling sorry, pity, whichever, but the look you hate to see. Except Tucker, who just talked to her like usual, made her smile a little, and let her know it’d be ok. Tucker, hot, sexy ladies man, proved to be an invaluable friend, so when she panicked about being set up on a blind date, she said she was already dating someone…Tucker. After he agrees to be her beard (I had to look that up lol), they do the fake dates, mixed in with the friend dates and hang outs, and things go from friendly to VERY friendly. I loved how they were together, how much fun they had, how they could talk to each other and share things, and how they started out as just friends, and it grew to so much more on its own. They had their issues (who doesn’t), but you’ll love how it ends
Carrie Ann Ryan stoled my heart with Reckless With You. When I read her books, I have no doubt I will get lost in her world. Amelia became my girl as soon as I started from page one. She is confident, but she’s not. She is self sured, but not. She is accepting, but not. She is perfectly imperfect. I loved the thoughts running through her head because I could relate to her doubts.
Tucker was a safe place from the get go. I loved him from the start. He was my rock as much as Amelia’s. So here is the nitty gritty of this story. It has heartbreak, new beginnings, a life from the past, drama, and uncertainty. But there is a lot of family and love. As a reader, I counted on that so the characters would come out okay on the other side.
This story if full of heart and lots of chemistry. I know we will get to know what is happening with Zoe and Caleb with the next book. But I have to ask…What the heck is up with Tobey? What is the real story with him and Beth. I smelled something shady going. I’m plotting it in my head and I am going with blackmail! Beth has something on Tobey and that is why he did what he did. But that is my take. I am hoping there is a new story there. Or maybe we will find the truth in the next book! Only time will tell….Reckless With You is a Must Read!!!
