Publisher's Summary

Includes the bonus prequel My First Glance as well as a bonus epilogue!

A one-night stand is supposed to end once the sun rises. Only it doesn’t always work out that way in this opposites-attract-and-tortured-hero romance.

I never expected this.

I didn’t want to go to another fraternity party, but when my friend pulls me in, I somehow find myself hiding in a corner with...him. 

Dillon Connolly. 

The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes. A single glance, a sweet smile, and I let myself have one night of giving in. Only I have to promise myself not to fall in love. No matter the cost. 

I never expected her. 

Elise Hoover haunts my dreams more than I care to admit. I never thought I stood a chance - until she said yes. 

When a single night turns to two, I know I’m in over my head, but somehow, she makes me believe I can have anything. Until the sun rises, and my past along with it. 

I thought I’d run from the problems that could hurt us both, but now I’m falling for her, and I can’t stop. I know I don’t deserve her, but now I have to fight to keep her...or save her from myself.

My One Night

Great characters and a very emotional story, the tears fell at times during this story.

The narrators are really good.

Dillion’s Story!

This is the first of the series. We finally get Dillion’s book! Dillon Connelly is now getting his own HEA after being part of his three older brother stories. We first met the youngest Connelly in the Fractured Connection Series. He is the wise younger brother that his brothers turned too when they needed advice.

However once Dillion begins college and strikes out on his own, he finds it hard to follow his own advice. He finds himself dealing with more hurdles than he ever imagined. College brings not only learning to multi task but also girls and parties all the normal adventures young people experience and enjoy.

However one thing he didn’t bargain for was Elise and she didn’t bargain on him. They both are driven and want to succeed but they will have to overcome things they never expected and might need each other more than either one wants to admit.

Overall, I throughly enjoyed this read I loved Dillion from the first time we met him in Cameron’s story. The author is amazing as always. Her stories draw you in and you can always count on a HEA. She’s my go to when I want a wonderful read. Definitely recommend.

The narrators were a perfect choice.

Such a great story! Loved it!

I absolutely loved reading My One Night by Carrie Ann Ryan when it was first release, so when I had the chance to listen to the audiobook, I jumped at the chance. This is the first book in the new On My Own series and I am here for it! Narrated by Emma Wilder and Tor Thom, they totally brought Dillon and Elise’s story to life for me in an all-new way. This was an emotional, touching and angst-filled story.

I just loved Dillon and Elise so much. Dillon has been through so much and is ready to reach his goals. But sometimes the past comes back when you least expect it. Elise is all about school, but after one night with Dillon, can they walk away? I absolutely devoured this book. Dillon and Elise shared such a strong connection and steamy chemistry, but things never go as you want them.

My One Night by Carrie Ann Ryan was heartwarming, heartbreaking, and captivating. Stories like this are why this author has become a one-click author for me! I am so excited to see what comes next in the series! I highly recommend reading and/or listening to this story!

Happy listening!

Just a fun story

This book was just plain fun, with a little bit of mystery mixed it. I really enjoyed the interplay of the characters. I really am looking forward to the next one. I really enjoyed the narration Emma Wilder and Tor Thom did a great job.

A new series 😍

The first book of a new series and Dillon’s full story. He’s settled in, for the most part, in his college row house, with his new roommates and getting used to doing things on his own. When they host a party (one of many) he meets, in an interesting way, Elise. What was supposed to be a one night of fun gradually turned into more. Though not always easy, they work in many ways. But it’s not all easy. A lot of drama and heartache is around also. But when you have someone willing to stand by you, you can usually get through it. I’m looking forward to more in this series! And I definitely hope for more from Tor Thom & Emma Wilder. They brought the story to life perfectly.

Dillon ❤️

Great start of a spinoff! Dillon is the youngest of the Connelly’s. He always had the best romantic advice for his brothers. This is his time though, one night stand that couldn’t stop. He goes to college and meets Elise, who dares him to kiss her. I loved their falling in love journey, even when none of them wanted a forever they found it. We have a piece of next book too and I can’t wait for that story. Great narration from both Wilder and Thom. Awesome voices.

Beautiful

Omg Dillion you met in fractured connections series. This is Dillons story. ELISE AND DILLON OMG the chemistry and the way they came together is absolutely amazing. I really enjoy this story and how it was written. The feels and plot twists had me turning the page more in delight. Carrie Ann just pulls you in with her story and you there until the last page.

Narration Emma Wilder and Tor Thom did amazing with this story. I couldn't stop listening to the performance they did. I cannot wait to listen to again.

Love never does what you expect

Dillion Connelly is a little late to be starting the semester at college. However; he is blessed with a spacious house and great roommates to share this with.
They end up having one of the party houses, Dillion meets a girl his first night, it doesn’t last long. Alisa becomes infatuated with him, next party, they meet, and they get along.
Things happen and it tests their resolve towards life and each other.
I truly enjoyed this story with its twists and turns.
I think you’ll enjoy it too. I would definitely recommend.

Sweet and hearwarming NA romance with an edge!

Wonderful start to the series! All the emotions, surprising plot twists, and solid character development I’ve come to expect in a Carrie Ann Ryan novel. Dillon was just as amazing and thoughtful as I’d hoped for. I was thrilled that he finally got his own story! It was also super fun to see how his brothers and their wives are doing, their family dynamic is so heartwarming to read. I loved the way both groups of friends are set up and linked, the boys and the girls. There’s a lot of promise for the next books in the series. I like the way all the secondary characters are written, likable and intriguing. Elise is smart, sweet, and a bit of an overthinker. She’s a great match for Dillon. They are both still young, but earnest and determined to make something of their lives. Their upbringing has been very different, but when it comes down to it, they both have loving families they can turn to. Even if Elise’s parents needed a rather tragic catalyst to make them understand what’s important in life. I was stunned at that particular twist myself. And if that wasn’t enough, someone from Dillon’s past comes out of the woodworks … and not exactly with good intentions. Dillon and Elise are young but are not spared from heartache and troubles before finding love and happiness together.

Narration: Emma Wilder and Tor Thom are brilliant narrators both, and they did a wonderful job with their performance of this story. The way they brought the characters to life really lifted the story to an even higher level. I really enjoyed the audio for this book, enchanting and gripping both.

Loved My One Night

I loved this book. I can't wait for the rest of the series. Carrie Ann is an amazing author.

Book 1

I enjoyed this story. There are a lot of characters in this book. However I was able to keep up with most of them and enjoy the story. I’m wondering if there are books before this one about Dylons family. There was a shocker in this book. Some life lessons. And a prequel to the next book that is kind of crazy. You want to make sure you have the next book ready when you finish this one. The narration was great!

Wonderful

I loved the premise for this story and I loved the couple. The group of friends are growing closer to each other as the story unfold. It’s an emotional journey and the narrators were brilliant. Can’t wait to dive into the next one.

Loving the start to this series!

Can a one night stand turn into forever? This is Dillon's story and it is full of sibling fun, new roommates, college parties and a girl he doesn't anticipate. Elise is a surprise for him, and when her friends drag her to a party with a dare, these two end up together with the understanding it will one night only. Until, it's not. I love this story for a couple of reasons. Dillon is a great character. A little damaged, but finding his way, has incredible family support and a heart of gold. Elise too, a little sheltered and smothered, but her heart guides her. And the story flows so well as we get to know the roommates, college life and a growing love that shines. It's a wonderful start to this series, and now I can't wait to start to hear Pacey and Mackenzie's story!

Emma Wilder and Tor Thom are a fantastic team and they worked this story making it real. Wilder has a way of finding her heart of her characters and she makes Elise grow through the story. Shy at first, an obedient young adult, and through her voice, we hear the changes. Thom brings out the warmth in Dillon with his baritone and has me melting the first time he meets Elise! He has a style that draws me in and a sound that keeps me there. Loved the performance.

Sweet!

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this NA college romance. Dillon and Elise were very likable characters, and their romance felt real and sweet. This is a spin-off of the Fractured Connections series (Dillon being a younger brother) which I haven’t read. The author did a great job of having this book work as a standalone, but reading the other series first would provide more background.
Narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life. Looking forward to listening to more of this series.

knew Dillons book would be epic. Was that and more

After the advice he dished out to his brothers it would have to be, but I didnt think it would be as good as it is. I mean he's 20, he's not gonna be falling in love and finding his forever at his age, right? Yeah think again. Carrie Ann Ryan has once again proved I have a feelings and a heart. I am a complete emotional wreck......and I love it. I love how you are so invested in the characters in the book, even the side characters you are eager to read about. I am so looking forward to Pacey and Mackenzie's story, after what she just been through I know everyone will have her back, I know I do. Anyway this was Dillon and Elise story and it was beautiful, fun to listen to but a complete emotional rollercoaster. You'd think I would learn my lesson after years of reading Carrie Anns books....but nooo, I do not stock up on kleenex. Thanks Carrie Ann Ryan for a wonderfully emotional story xx

Fantastic first spin of book from fractured connections series

Book one My One Night in new spin off from Fractured Connection series by Carrie Ann Ryan.
This book is about the youngest Connelly Dillon. He’s gone to Denver University he’s moved in with four other lad and meet the most beautiful woman he’s ever met.
Elise is trying to live a independent life from her controlling parents but after meeting Dillon she tries to balance university, friends and Dillon.
Absolutely loved this new spin off series. I wasn’t sure I’d love Dillon’s story as much because it’s base around 20 year olds but I’m completely invested in Dillon university friends lives with especially Pacey the cute Brooding British which Tor Thom does a great job and the amazing Emma Wilder.
Carrie Ann Ryan does such a fantastic job getting people to be completely invested in characters lives and make you love them laugh and cry through these books.

Like a warm blanket

This one for me had so many beautifully written emotions and things happening I wanted to wrap it around me like a warm blanket. It also holds your attention very well due to the Captivating storyline and well written characters I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series. Strongly written and narrated left me so very glad I listened to it
