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…

I was super excited to read this novella when I first heard about it and I was also super excited to read who it was about! Plus, the cover's hot, so it was a given that I was going to read it lol! I completely adored this novella! It was the perfect addition to this series too! The plot of this novella focused on characters who are either mentioned or were in the first two books, which I thought was awesome! I also loved that this novella had a beginning, a middle and an end! I don't think I've read a novella like that before lol! The plot of this novella had plenty of sexy scenes in it and it was about two character overcoming obstacles to realise just how much they loved each other! I adored the plot! There was a lot in it and there were also a few twist and turns to keep it interesting too! I really enjoyed it! The characters were amazing! The main character was Aerie and she was so freaking sweet! I just adored her! I'm positive that she's in the first two books in this series, which makes this novella even more amazing because she's the main character in it! I connected with Aerie so well in this novella! She was smart, she knew what she wanted in life, she had a routine! But in this novella she learns how to sort of go outside her comfort zone, which I loved about her and I loved seeing her experience going outside her comfort zone! It was definitely worth it for her! My heart did go out to Aerie in this novella because she misunderstood a situation and she nearly let go of someone who was going to sort of change her life! But I was really happy when it all worked out in the end! Jagger was the love interest of Aerie in this novella and he was so hot! I'm not sure if he was in the first two books in this series or if maybe he was just mentioned or something, but I won't be forgetting him again that's for sure ;) I loved Jagger in this novella because he had to prove his love for Aerie and he had to really show her how much she meant to him! Jagger also kind of kept his past a secret, which impacted on his relationship with Aerie! I sort of didn't expect what happened in his past to be the main focus of the plot, but it did add a lot! I also loved that the two main characters from the first two books, River and Dahlia, were back in this novella! I loved reading their books and I was really happy that they played quite a big role in this novella and that their story progressed too! I'm really excited to read the next book in this series! I know that it's not going to be about Aerie and Jagger, but I'm hoping they might make an appearance in it! I'm not sure if they will though! The cover for this novella is stunning! And hot! Very hot! I also love how well it suits the first two books covers! Big thank you to Kim for an ARC of Dazed and also for having me on her Blog Tour!

Author bio:

I live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I've always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, I wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and full-time embracing one of my biggest passions—writing.

I wear a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family outings use to be taking my kids to the bookstore or the library. Today, my oldest child is in college and my twins are juniors so they no longer go with me on these outings. And although I don't need to go to the actual store anymore because I have the greatest device ever invented—a Kindle, I still do. There's nothing like a paperback. So now my four year old and I make dates out of going to the bookstore--it's time I love and cherish.

I like to believe in soulmates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I love to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart. <3
