From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a new story in her Fractured Connections series… It all started at a wedding. Beckham didn’t mean to dance with Meadow. And he really didn’t mean to kiss her. But now, she’s the only thing on his mind. And when it all comes down to it, she’s the only person he can’t have. He’ll just have to stay away from her, no matter … from her, no matter how hard they’re pulled together.
Running away from her friend’s wedding isn’t the best way to keep the gossip at bay. But falling for the mysterious and gorgeous bartender at her friends’ bar will only make it worse. Beckham has his secrets, and she refuses to pry.
Once burned, twice kicked down, and never allowed to get up again. Yet taking a chance with him might be the only choice she has. And the only one she wants.
For fans of Carrie Ann’s Fractured Connections series, Taken With You is book four in that series.
Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.

Sometimes you have to escape from your life to stay alive and you want to start over. You are embarrassed and ashamed of your past and the cruelties you had to endure until you can get out, so you tend to be quiet and withdrawn. You don’t want to be judged therefore you don’t share your past openly. Meadow and Beckham’s pasts collide and they have both lied by omission to each other because we are backed to being judged and rejected. Two regular people for argument’s sake, have connected when they become almost desperate to share with another human being. Life is going well with them until the past shows up. Carrie tells a great story with lessons we can all relate to. Super well written, not too long and you can enjoy reading it a one sitting.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
Love this series
Love the connellys
Intense emotional broken twisted love story of Beckham and meadow
grabbed my heart
need more of these two
A sexy heartbreaker, yet hopeful…
Baggage weighs heavily on Beckham and Meadow, but they have risen above their past. Or have they? Meadow uses extreme security measures. Beckham watches every time the door to the bar opens. Their lives may have been fractured, but they are not broken. I felt their pain. I also felt their growing love. All of the “feels”are here, good and sad. This quick read seems so much bigger than the page count. Love this couple.
Beckham and Meadow have been side characters in the Fractured Connections series, we knew they had secrets about their pasts and in this book we find out about those secrets and discover that their pasts bind them together but could also rip them apart. I love how wise Dillon is, even though he is the youngest they still turn to him for advise. This book is a quick read but it is full of emotion.
Loved this look into these not necessarily side characters who needed a story of their own. The Connelly’s make you family and give you advice on life and love whether you want it or not lol. Also must say I love love love Dillon he’s so freaking sweet!
This book is all Meadow & Beckham’s story. This book is full of the horror that Meadow went through & how Beckham knew her before. Love the sT Dillon seems to be the wide save at only 19 to help the rest of the men out, can’t wait for his book!
I picked this book up and didnt put it down- teo hours later I sighed, smiled and put my kindle down.
Wow we all knew that Beckham could handle himself and hes hinted at a past before, but boy I wasnt expecting that!
And what about Meadows life? What was she hiding/running from?
Here we find out exactly what skeleton each has in their closet.
Finally we get to hear their stories, they might think of themselves as on the outskirts of the family, but to the others they are well and truly a major part of the group.
Loved this book and for once it didnt make me bawling my eyes out. It was perfect for them x
A solid 5 star story. Two almost broken people who were starting life over with a clean slate realized that they didn’t have to forget the past, just learn from it. Beckham and Meadow were so good for each other, they just had to be honest with each other. I love Dillon. He is such a wise soul.
Taken With You is a novella in the Fractured Connection series but could be read as a stand alone. I loved it and devoured it in one sitting. I have loved Beckham and am thrilled to finally have his story.
Beckham and Meadow, side characters from the Fractured Connections series, have one heck of a background story. But that is their past, it has shaped who they are, but their current situation is who they are now. And now, they are super interested in each other, and move forward with that. They didn’t mean to, but they did. Of course, their past pops up and the truth comes out. Self-sacrificing isn’t an option with the Connelly brothers and their women as your friends, so an HEA is the only option!
Meadow’s story hurt my heart, but her overcoming things gave me hope. Beckham’s care of her, and worry about his own past, made me worry about his hopelessness. These two have such great chemistry, and heat when they come together, that them getting their feelings worked out, made me so happy
Now, about that kiddo playboy Dillon…….
