"Our gazes lock as he finds my eyes and I get lost in his, lost in watching him, lost in wanting him." - Aerie4.5/5 StarsKim Karr is my go-to author for two things .... romance and steam.  She brings both … without fail!  And I love that!!!  I love knowing that I can read one of her books and I’ll be swept off my feet, covered in goose bumps, and counting down the minutes until my husband gets home from work.Dazed is no exception.  Kim does it again with Jagger Kennedy.Jagger Kennedy.  ** swoon **Dazed is a standalone character spinoff of the Connection series.  Jagger is River’s cousin (we met River Wilde and his wife Dahlia in Connected and Torn) and he finds himself in a relationship with Aerie (Dahlia’s BFF).  You do not need to read the first two book in the series to enjoy Dazed.A chance meeting in a bakery sets the stage for Aerie Daniels to be swept off her feet by the handsome model, aspiring actor Jagger Kennedy.  From the moment she meets him, Aerie innately knows something is different.  Jagger is perfect, too good to be true really but Aerie puts her doubting nature aside and goes with it, trusting Jagger and her heart instead of her head for a change.Aerie falls head over heals for Jagger (OMG, WHO WOULDN'T .... JAGGER IS PERFECTION) and he seems to feel the same but when his ex-girlfriend stumbles into their happiness Aerie is consumed with doubt and insecurity.  So much so she calls things off with Jagger.How far will Jagger go to win her back?  Can Aerie let go of the past and move forward with Jagger?From the get-go, my heart ached for Aerie.  The first time she let a man into her heart had ended in disaster, tainting every relationship she would have moving forward."Sex is also something that's always been a struggle for me.  I don't see what it is that women find so enticing about it." - AeriePoor Aerie.  She's extremely set in her ways, maybe a tiny bit compulsive, and at times I could totally relate.  When Jagger drives her car, her first thought is how her insurance doesn't cover him.  And when they find their way to her bed, she worries they should pull the comforter down first.  Sadly, that is me, LOL!  I felt a kinship with Aerie and her heartaches became my heartaches.  Her moments of joy became mine.  I was on this journey with her.  And I loved every minute of it!
