Recent Reviews:
Dazed  by Kim Karr
4 stars

I did not realize in advance that this was a novella of an already established series, but that in no way took away from my enjoyment of the story.  Set in sunny L.A., this novella follows Aerie and Jagger.   Aerie, the narrator has an interesting back story and is a self-aware and likable character.  Jagger doesn’t get a voice really in this story and this is a shame.  He comes out a bit too flawless and without much personality but it doesn’t distract from the sweetness and romance of the novella.  With entries into Hollywood and the music world, this short romance is quick, enjoyable read.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
