Synopsis

A Connection Series Novella featuring Aerie Daniels and Jagger Kennedy (River Wilde’s cousin)

Jagger Kennedy never went looking for fame, he just fell into it. After scoring a major modeling contract, his clean-cut good looks and charm catapulted his career. But when his actress girlfriend breaks his heart, he moves to L.A. to try his hand at acting. He needs to make a change, and the last thing he’s looking for is love…

Aerie Daniels is a woman in control … until she meets Jagger. Her surprising connection with him leaves her stunned, and it’s unlike anything she’s ever felt. But just when she lets her walls fall, she makes a startling discovery about him that breaks her fragile heart into a million pieces.

To keep from losing the one woman he can’t bear to be without, Jagger is willing to give up anything—including his career. But even that might not be enough to regain Aerie’s shattered trust…

Review

After reading and LOVING both Connected and Torn by Kim Karr I was super excited about reading  Dazed. Although, to be hones,t I was (as I always am when meeting new characters in a series) a bit worried about if I would love Jagger like I loved River. I had nothing to be worried about.   Once again, Kim Karr has made me fall in love with the stories and the characters in her head.

Dazed is told from the point of view of Aerie Daniels and she is a woman I can relate to. She likes control and order in her life and does not like much change. Aerie is the best friend of Dahlia from Connected and Torn and she is wonderful! I loved how private and guarded she was at the same time as being so affectionate and sweet. From the beginning I could easily insert myself in to Aerie’s shoes and as the story progressed I only came to love her more and more.

Jagger Kennedy is a GOD. A French speaking model who is sweet, romantic and funny. Is this not the ideal man? Jagger is a male model who is currently living in his cousin River’s basement while he pursues an acting career in Hollywood. Right from the beginning of this novella you can feel the sex appeal dripping off of this man. It is hard not to fall in love with Jagger from his very first Alice in Wonderland reference. He is completely and utterly swoon worthy and I would stand in line to eat cupcakes with him.

With this being a novella I am going stay away from discussing the plot of this story too much. I would hate to give away anything that you the reader could discover and love all by themselves. That being said I was very much surprised as to how much story and  character development was in this. Novellas in general can be difficult and quiet often you are left feeling a bit short changed. Not here, I was pulled into this book and couldn’t stop till I got to the end. It felt much longer than its 141 pages and when I ended it I honestly felt that the story was complete.

Kim Karr did a fantastic job with this novella. This story is both endearing and super HOT! Aerie and Jagger and characters that have dug their way into my heart and I know that this is a story that I will be re-reading over and over again.
