On my 21st birthday, I know there’s only one wish I’m making when I blow out my candles. A chance with him.

Only I’m his best friend’s little sister, so that means I’m beyond off limits.

And did I mention he’s older?

I’m ready to be seen as my own person and to take the next step.

But I know it can’t be with him.

Yet when I’m backed in a corner, there’s only one person I can call for help.

Him.

Careless is the prequel to the Ashford Creek series. Learn how Callum Ashford and Felicity Carter fall into a careless mistake before their full story in Legacy.

MY REVIEW

Felicity's just turned 21 and wants everyone, especially her brother's best friend Callum, to recognize she's an adult. She's crushed on him forever, but he's always only viewed her as the much younger little sister of his friend. But when she needs him most and she calls, he comes running to the rescue. Will it be the catalyst for him to finally give into the chemistry she knows is there?

Felicity and Callum's story is off to an intriguing start in Careless. The tension between them is going to make for some serious sparks when their full length story begins in Legacy, and I cannot wait for it. Though Careless is only the beginning, Carrie amped up the intensity by not only presenting the would be couple, but the secondary characters as well, who will be getting their own stories. This prequel is pitched perfectly, and has me highly impatient for what's to come!
