Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
Taken With You is a novella in the Fractured Connections series by Carrie Ann Ryan. It can be read as stand-alone and since my experience with the series is a little rocky, I would say read it as such.
My biggest issue with the book is that while I was reading it, I got the feeling that I was reading parts of the story and not something cohesive. We jumped from date one to dating for 4 months for example and that felt off. The book, in my opinion, needed to be full-length and not a novella. We got Meadow's past that was explained somewhat satisfactory, and then you got Beckham's past which was like "Once upon a time this happened" and that's it. This is one of the cases where the characters need more room to tell their stories and develop. Everything seemed rushed and was not as well written as I was expecting from Carrie Ann Ryan. Usually, I love her books, but this one was surprisingly a big miss for me. I would not recommend it.

AUTHOR INFORMATION:
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.
