The imagery of this book is crisp and the sentence structure flows perfectly in its simplicity. While Dazed is a bit predictable at times, Kim Karr makes Aerie and Jagger’s situations feel fresh and I was able to get a true handle on each of their characters. I care about them and root for the two to come together.I have loved Aerie since the beginning of this series and was absolutely delightful when I learned that she is getting her own novella. She’s loyal, confident, ambitious and a woman who likes being in control. But only, until she met the cupcake thief who undoubtedly stole her heart.I loved meeting Jagger. He’s fun, definitely swoon worthy and immediately becomes a hot commodity in this book. Fantasies looped through my mind about this gorgeous model! Ohhhh he's so yummy!Aerie’s sudden affection for Jagger surprises her and it was so nice to see the two grow a friendship into a sweet romance. But what’s good doesn’t stay great forever though and I knew Aerie’s past would find a way to catch up with her. But their feelings are too strong to deny them a happy ever after. I did enjoy seeing how these two characters connected. They deserved one another.I commend Kim for the authenticity of the story and for making these characters and their feelings tangible, but did find myself wishing for a bit more. It wasn’t a book that was full of action… there weren’t too many surprises but the pacing and timing were very true to life. There was one point where I felt something was a little out of character and the decision was made too much on a whim, but I think Kim did a good job by explaining them throughout the remainder of the book.Connections is a good series that everyone should follow along with and I am sooo looking forward to read the next installment.If you are looking for a quick read, with honest and charming characters that will make you fall in love, then give this book a go!
