Dazed (Connections #2.5) by Kim Karr

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…

Overall Rating:  5 Rockin' ★★★★★  

Dazed is the next book in Kim Karr’s Connections series.  This story was exquisitely written by a very talented author.  Even though this is a novella, it is complete with angst, drama and love.  The characters are well developed.  You feel the joy, turmoil, and the beginning of a deep love.  

Jagger Kennedy, River Wilde’s cousin, is a model described as "sin on a stick" with a free spirit.  Aerie Daniels is Dahlia’s best friend and a workaholic at Sound Music Magazine.  Aerie and Jagger are perfect together.  Their chemistry is instant from the moment he is tagged the “cupcake thief.”  

This book fits effortlessly within this series.  We catch up with old characters and fall in love with new ones.  In short, this is an amazing story!  Once again, Kim Karr has brilliantly delivered a work of art.  I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to the next book!

"...it's not only his looks that have me in a daze--it's everything I've gotten to know about him."
