This is a fabulous novella, returning to the Connolly’s brewery to catch up with our fave characters and especially the grumpy barman Beckham... who finally gets his story and HEA.

This story focuses on Beckham and Meadow, their similarities, how they have overcome their pasts and how they are trying to create a new future... hopefully together.

A great story and a wonderful way to close out the series of wonderfully moving and exciting books. It is really best to read the rest of the series first, but this book could be read standalone.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Taken with you is Meadow and Beckham’s story. I was excited to read this book because Beckham was a character I wanted to learn more of. I loved how Meadow and Beckham came together and how their pasta were intertwined. The struggles they each had to go through to get to their happily ever after was well written and their chemistry was scorching. I love that we get glimpses into all the characters we have read about already and I really hope Dillon gets a book as well. Another great read from Carrie Ann Ryan.

So good I couldn’t put it down. Finished in just a few hours. Ms. Ryan has outdone herself with this one.

Beckham and Meadow both have secrets and a past that’s better left buried.

No past was needed. Only a future paved with their own choices.

Meadow and Beckham both have a dark past that intertwined them together but yet only one of them knows. Both have left behind a life and a version of themselves that they are not proud of but have learned from to be the people they are now. Both have found a place where the meaning of friendship and family mean something very different than they are used to.
Both are very guarded of themselves yet trying to just live life. Beckham and Meadow are both broken and together they find a way to heal. They are sweet and passionate separately and together they are explosive.

Taken With You is a fantastic quick read in the Fractured Connections Series. Meadow and Beckham will make your heart pitter patter while catching up with characters from the previous books in the series.

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.

Wish it had been longer but otherwise a sweet and loving ending (except maybe Dillon's story down the line) of a great series... Never go wrong with Carrie Ann Ryan truly.

Meadow and Beckham have a shared history, but only one of them knows that. Beckham has tried to stay away from Meadow because he thinks he's not good for her as a result of his shady past, but one day he breaks and kisses her. Their road to love isn't completely smooth, but it also isn't filled with a ton of angst. This book was a quick read for me and a great addition to the fractured connections series. I recommend reading this book and the entire series.

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!!
