The Carr Family #2
Reckless With You
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 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 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!
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 am loving this spin off series! The Carr siblings are a great bunch to hang out with. Plus we still get to peek in on some of the Montgomerys during the course of the story.
This is a classic friends to lover story. Also best friend's sister issue on top of all that. Amelia gets is embarrassed and heart broken after she is spurned by her best friend. In order to save face with her family and get them to stop worrying about her, she concocts a story that Tucker and she are dating as just friends. She convinces Tucker to go along with it.
As always happens, hearts become involved even when we don't want them to. Soon things look much rosier as a couple than either thought possible. A little bit of angst, some serieous s3xy times and a great bit of humor. Wonderful romance to read!

Y’all, this book! Reckless With Me was such a great read! I thought-especially after the last book in the series-this was going to be a best friend to lover thing between Tobey and Amelia. And I am soooo happy I was wrong! Because Amelia and Tucker?! They had my heart swooning with delight!! Amelia was a bit of a hot mess learning to deal with personal matters. Tucker was a rock of unintentional security and had his own issues to work through as well. These two may have started out with a fake relationship, but those feels were VERY real💙💙

If you love brother’s best friend stories then Reckless With You is the book for you! Carrie Ann Ryan consistently delivers wonderful, emotional, and downright amazing reads. Reckless With You is book 2 in the Less Than series and I highly recommend it. I loved it.

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

The pain of first love proves an eye-opening experience for two bruised hearts that never even had a clue. Ryan casts a spell over your heart that is gut-wrenching, awkward and tempting. Amelia and Tucker have both been let down by life and love. A painful life lesson puts everything they thought they knew at risk. Falling in love puts them on the cusp of something wonderful, if they don't let fear of the unknown get in the way. Reckless with You turns heartache in hope. Sexy meets sensitive and loves becomes human.

One reckless decision could hurt many, or could be destiny...
I adored this book, the character driven story is so easy to read I just wanted to keep going and going. Amelia and Tucker give us all of their thoughts and feelings, the supporting cast add to the plot and I felt like I was right there with them.
The Carrs much like the Montgomerys protect their own. Especially their little sister. When her brothers shower her with pitying looks and her friends try to set her up with a new guy, Amelia needs a cover to give her breathing room. Tucker has been Amelia’s brother’s best friend forever, but when she needs a friend he’s also there for her.
If you like sweet, sexy, realistic falling in love stories don’t miss this one.

Deeper!!!
Amelia Carr thought she was in love with her best-friend so when she decided to take a leap of faith and tell him how she felt. She knew that she'd made the biggest mistake of her life the instant the words left her mouth. Now her overprotective siblings wouldn't let her be, they kept watching her with pity in their eyes. She came up with a plan that included her big brother Devin's best-friend, Tucker.
Tucker Reinhard loved women and vice versa, but he never expected his best-friend's sister, Amelia to come to him with a crazy plan. One he knew he should have walked away from instead of agreeing to help her. He knew this plan would put him at odds with Devin yet he was hellbent with sticking to his word. All because he didn't want to see her get hurt.
With her plan in place, Amelia never knew what hit her, when she kept seeing Tucker's some amazing and different layers. She saw sides of him that he hid from the rest of the world. He tilted her world on its axis and vice versa. Loved Amelia's loved ones being there for her, they wanted her to stop hurting. They also accepted her "relationship" with Tucker. But they didn't want either of them to get hurt, cause he was family as well.
As for her ex best-friend Tobey well he was an A-hole. To have treated her like he did was a prick move. Her taking time away from him was the best decision she'd ever made. Cause he was nothing but a fraud and a liar.
Meanwhile things between Amelia and Tucker began to get serious, and in came someone from his past with some life changing news. She tried being there but as usual when he got scared, he pushed her and the rest of the gang away until he realized his mistake. He couldn't live without her cause she'd come to mean the world to him. In the end they both got their HEA.
RECKLESS WITH YOU is the second book in Carrie Ann Ryan's LESS THAN series. What a wonderful, fun, heart-wrenching and sensual ride. This series keeps getting better and better with each book. Carrie Ann Ryan did a mind-blowing job! Two thumbs up and a recommendation for you guys to give this book a try!

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.

So what happens when you think you fall in love with your best friend. You've done almost everything together since grade school. You know his/her fear, what she/he likes. But what happens when it's not what it was, or his trust was all lies. Your heart is broken when one mistake leads to another, and the people you love, your family only wants what's best for you. But sometimes family can be too much. Amelia Carr never thought this would happen to her, being betrayed by her best friend. So when her brother's best friend Tucker helps her, but another lie could ruin the trust he has with the Carr Family. Tucker didn't believe in relationships; he wasn't cruel in any way. He loves women, but he never dated more than once the same woman. When Amelia asked him to be her fake boyfriend, will he risk all and do what she asked because he didn't want to lose the only family he ever had if he crossed the line with Amelia.
I so loved this story; it's funny, sexy, can't wait to know what happens next with Caleb.

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.

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!

In this sweet, sexy fall-in-love-with-the-brother's-best-friend story, Carrie Ann knocks another one out of the park. I could not get enough of Amelia and Tucker. What a fabulous character-driven story. I do so hope everyone will give this one a chance because it was worth waiting for. Reckless With You was an easy read with the twists and turns that come along with love and buckets full of feelings. I look forward to the next in the series and highly recommend this!

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.

December 4, 2019✩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.
Find it Here!
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 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.

Amelia & Tucker!! Awesome duo!! And we have Amelia's not so best friend for their budding romance. Amelia is heart broken & embarrassed after she tells her so called bff she is in love with him. Not only does he not feel the same, but he is a total jerk about it. Enter Tucker, who is great friends with her brothers and ends up being Amelia's "fake" boyfriend. As time passes, things become a bit blurred and they realize that they actually have true feelings for each other. They decide to act on them and with the help of their well meaning friends & family, they find their way to their HEA!! Which is a staple in Carrie Ann Ryan's stories!!! Can't wait for the 3rd story to come out in this series!!!

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.

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.

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!
