Another 5 star read from Kim Karr! This is only a novella but its fun, flirty, and moving. The author never ceases to amaze me how she can bring out so many emotions in me in such few words. It doesn't take half of a book for me to connect with her characters and I love that.In Dazed, we get to see a whole new side to Aerie. We already knew she is best friends with Dahlia and very loyal and kind of a prude. But in Dazed, we get to see what made Aerie that way. What happened that she felt the need to have total control of everything in her life. There is a whole side to her that we knew nothing about it and I, for one, am glad to learn more about her. I knew when reading Connected and Torn, that she had a story to tell. We also get to see Aerie break out of the shell that she built around herself, thanks to one deliciously sexy, funny, smart, Jagger Kennedy. Ladies, if you loved River, then you are going to also love his cousin, Jagger. They are alike in so many ways but still are their own separate person. I didn't feel like they were the same character but with different names like you see in some book series. There is a playfulness to River that cannot be duplicated. Speaking of River, fans of Dahlia and his will not be disappointed. They pop up plenty in the story, so if you've missed them, prepare to get a little fix. Now, back to Jagger. He is described as having a long, lean body with stormy gray eyes, smooth, pale skin flecked with stubble, and chocolate colored hair. I'll give you a minute to swoon.. . . . . . . . .Ok, done?  Well, get used to it. Jagger will make you swoon through this entire book. He's funny, sweet, caring, and full of random facts, which you will understand when you read it. He is the Yin to Aerie's Yang, just like her favorite cupcake which you will learn in the first couple of pages. To me, those cupcakes have a very significant meaning in the book. While Aerie is in a sense a control freak, Jagger is referred to as a free spirit. They balance each other and its written to perfection.There are also things in the book that are set up to lead into the next book so if something is left unexplained, my best guess is it will be revealed in the next. So don't worry. :)This a story filled with a whirlwind romance, self discovery, steamy sex scenes, and love. You will be hooked from the very first page and be prepared to do nothing but read until its finished. I applaud the author. I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment in the series.
