Beckham story was so worth the wait. I loved his chemistry with Meadow and their journey had just the right amount of drama and HEA. It’s not all roses between them but that’s what made their story so emotional that you can’t help but shed a tear or two and a few surprises that completes their journey to a HEA.
I fell for Beckham and Meadow. They do not have it easy, but their hearts are pulling them closer. There is a lot of secrets. In a blink of an eye, I was devouring every word. Before I knew it, the story was over and I found I spent a few hours lost in their world. Meadow has a heart breaking past. A past she will never return and keeps it locked away. Little does she know Beckham has some secrets of his own. I was on the edge wondering what would happen when the skeletons come out of the closet? Taken with You will hold on to you tightly and take you on the ride of your life!!

Their friends are their for them to guide them as these 2 figure out how to handle their attraction to each other as well as moving on from the past. Because the past does not define them. This is a great afternoon read. Short, sassy, and sexy!! Can’t wait for what Ms. Ryan has coming up next.
This novella in the Fractured Connections series is one that will have you intrigued and captivated by these two people who have captured our hearts along the way. Beckham and Meadow have secrets, ones that are connected. This fast paced romance is emotional, passionate and will have you enamoured by these two. Their story is witty, moving and full of so much love. Two people that must bare their souls to be able to move forward and find the peace and happiness that they both have been seeking.
Wowza! I am always amazed at how much story Ms. Ryan can pack into a novella. I have been waiting impatiently for Beckham and Meadow’s story and boy oh boy did the author deliver. This story was excellent.
The connection between these two has been slowly building throughout some of the earlier stories. We know they both have secrets but things have been pretty hush hush until now as to what those secrets actually entail. I enjoyed watching them overcome their past and find love along the way.
As for Dillon, that kid is wise beyond his years and I cannot wait to read his story.
As with the other books in this series, Taken With You is a little deeper and darker than I usually care for. But it’s so well written that you can get lost in it, and I forgot that it’s not my thing. Because this is a novella, things move at a faster pace, which I liked, but I found myself missing the depth of character you can get out of a full book. Though I didn’t feel that anything was sacrificed with this being a novella.
Overall I enjoyed Beckham and Meadow.
This novella length read packs a very powerful punch with its complex blend of emotions, baggage, twists, drama and heat. Meadow and Beckham’s story very quickly pulled me in and quite honestly, consumed me. I don’t know why this couple caused such an intense reaction in me maybe it was the underlying layer of sweetness to their romance or maybe it was that I felt that fate played such a huge part in bringing these two together and uniting them as a couple. I do know that I loved this book, this couple and their story.
Taken with you is a novella that caps off the Fractured Connections series. It can be read alone, but you get a little bit of build up from the other books, before this one starts off with Beckham asking Meadow for a dance. This book did not disappoint the anticipation of waiting for it, the two most secretive/hidden characters seem to have the most colorful past of the group. A past they semi share. I love Beckham and Meadow together and even more after you find out their background and how they ended up to now.
If your emotions can survive the storm, it will lead your heart to a rainbow. Beckham and Meadow are destined for heartache, but wish for so much more. Trapped inside of secrets that are rapidly bleeding them dry, can they find happiness away from the shadows of the past? Taken with You seduces with heartache, inspires with hope and heals with redemption as it lures you into love. There’s no temptation like a Carrie Ann Ryan novel.
I really enjoyed Beckham and Meadow’s story. They both are so damaged and just want to be loved but feel that they don’t deserve it after what they have done in the past. It was sweet and readers will be thrilled with this story.
Carrie Ann Ryan can take flawed characters and make them perfect for each other. Beckham and Meadow are both trying to live under the radar, escaping their individual pasts. When they finally come together, sparks fly. Working through their tortured pasts, they find the HEA!!
Taken With You is book #4 in the Fractured Series by Carrie Ann Ryan. This is another amazing story by a wonderful author who is a must read! This is Meadow and Beckham’s story, both hiding parts of their pasts that end up crisscrossing. Gotta love the Connolly’s!!
Make sure you have some time on your hands before you start this novella because once you do you wil not be able to stop. Beckham and Meadow’s story is all about wanting something you think you can never have based on past actions, but it is when you own up to those pasts that you can overcome them and start fresh. But can a relationship that is built on lies become something worth fighting for when those lies are revealed. You must read this novella to find out. I absolutely loved Beckham and Meadow’s story!!
Taken With You is a short novella about Beckham and Meadow. I was surprised by their past and glad they both over came it and can a have a future together!! Can’t wait to see more of them in the Fractured Connections series!!!!
Carrie Ann Ryan cannot write a story that you do not fall in love with. Both Beckham and Meadow have a secretive past that they need to keep hidden. And yet, it all starts at a wedding with a dance and a kiss—let the walls begin to crumble. Enter all The Connolly’s and the fun ensues. Of course the best supporting role award goes to Dillon. He who knows all.
Does our past define our future? For Beckham and Meadow that is the question. Both of them are hiding from their past and it may just prevent them from having a future. I’ve always liked these two secondary characters from the Fractured Connections world. I loved watching them deal with their fears and find love. Another winner from Carrie Ann Ryan.
We met Beckham and Meadow in previous books of this Fractured Series. Their story is not an easy one and they are no longer the people they once were. I love how Beckham treated Meadow. He was exactly who she needed him to be even if it was hard for her to let him get close. You knew there was something these two were running from, but it wasn’t what I expected. I loved the mystery and suspense but there might be a trigger or two regarding abuse. It wasn’t too bad, but it was still there. I encourage you to read how this author describes the reality of a certain lifestyle that is sometimes glamorized on television.
Taken With You is the fourth book in the Fractured Connections Series. I’ve been a fan of Beckham’s since we’ve met him in the previous books in the series and have silently been rooting for his HEA. Beckham and Meadow’s attraction has always shone through, but lord when they let that attraction loose, their chemistry is smoking hot! I went through all the feels throughout this story. I devoured Beckham and Meadow’s story in one sitting. I’m thrilled with how their story went. Such a great read. Now, I will be not so patiently wait for Dillion’s story.
Finally we get Beckham and Meadow’s story in Taken With You, a Fractured Connections novella. Once you start reading their story you will not put this book down because their ups and downs and twists and turns are quick and exciting. This book is a standalone but fits so well with the rest of the series. I do hope we get Dillon’s story at some point.
We get Beckham’s story here, the sexy, broody, quiet-but-shows-that-side-of-fun bartender that is an honorary member of the Connolly family. He’s had his eyes on Meadow, also a friend in their circle & honorary family member. But he’s hiding secrets, about himself and Meadow, and their past. Meadow doesn’t know he knows anything about her & her past. She thinks she has started over where no one knows her. And though she’s hesitant at first, they become quite close. Until secrets get revealed. Will they be able to work it out? I very much enjoyed this. I never saw it coming the secrets they were hiding. I love Beckham even more after this and Meadows strength is inspiring. Definitely a must read!
