I really enjoyed this book! It was fun, sexy and heartening. Aerie and Jagger's story was a lovely one filled with moments of self-searching, risk-taking, and accepting love as it comes and finding bliss because of it.Aerie is Dahlia's best friend and she appeared in Connected and Torn. She was such an amazing friend to Dahlia then that I really got to like her a lot. Now her own story is a little heartbreaking and I loved reading about it. Aerie has been greatly disappointed in life and from those disappointments she learned not to trust easily ever again. Moreover, she learned to become a woman in control of all her actions and emotions. That was her way of keeping herself centered even though deep inside that life style didn't feel as satisfying. But everything in her world changes when she meets Jagger Kennedy, a free spirited man that just completely dazed her.Jagger is River's cousin and he made his first appearance in the Torn Epilogue. From the moment I read about him I loved him. He's a model and of course he is irresistibly gorgeous but he also has an irresistible personality. Jagger has acting aspirations and that's one of the reasons that brought him to L.A. but in coming there he never thought he would find his second chance at love.The Connections series is indeed about connections because that's exactly what Aerie and Jagger had. An intense and alluring connection that drawn them together from the very first time they met. It's Jagger's free spirit personality and seductive ways that slowly break Aerie's walls and introduce her to new experiences and possibilities. He makes her feel like she has never felt before and even though that's a little scary for her she just can't resist it. Unfortunately, Aerie's past and someone from Jagger's past threaten their relationship and Aerie has to decide if her dazzling man is worth fighting for.I loved Aerie and Jagger together, they were perfect for each other. It was that type of relationship where one complements the other in a beautiful way. The steamy moments between them were both magical and right down hot and I loved reading them. Those were some of the scenes I just wanted to read again and again. They were truly connected to each other both emotionally and physically. ❤️After having finishing Connected and Torn I loved seeing Dahlia and River again here in Dazed! They make a few appearances and I was happy to see them so in love still. I kind of miss them but the cool thing about the Connections series is that they should appear again in the next books so I really look forward to that. :)Dazed is a novella and even though it's a short story it still had all the components of a captivating love story. Kim Karr just knows how to write romance beautifully and making stories engaging. Just another beautiful book from a very beautiful series! ❤️
