Title: Blurred
Series: Connections #3.5
Author: Kim Karr
Release Date: August 5, 2014



A Connection Series Novella featuring Ben Covington

The story before the love story….

When he lost the only woman he’d ever loved, it seemed there was nothing left to live for.

Even as a boy, all Ben Covington ever wanted was to spend forever with Dahlia London, the beautiful girl next door...then one life-altering decision tore them apart and he was forced to leave her.

Now, despite having returned to win her back, he’s still alone. She’s with someone else—someone she’s never going to leave.

Resigned to a future without his former girlfriend, Ben numbs his broken heart in a haze of liquor and women. But then the only woman who ever even turned his head while he was with his girl reappears unexpectedly. And he’s never forgotten their one incredible night together. But will Ben’s destructive behavior destroy his future with her before it even begins?

Finally, we get Ben's side of the story! If you've read the other books in Kim Karr's Connections Series, we've only seen one side of the story. This novella is told all in Ben Covington's POV. We get a lot of insight into his character.
 
After reading the other books I wasn't completely sold on Ben. To be honest I thought he was an asshole. He still displays some asshole qualities in this novella but now I understand him a lot better. There's rhyme and reason as to why he is the way he is.

This novella is not a typical romance, it's a prequel and a set up for Ben and Bell's book which is coming in September. There are appearances by characters from Kim Karr's previous books in this series.

Blurred is book 3.5 in this series. It cannot be read as a standalone, you need to read the books that come before this one in order to have the full story. This is a great series that keeps the reader interested with engaging characters and storylines.

I live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I've always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, I wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and full-time embracing one of my biggest passions—writing.

I wear a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family outings use to be taking my kids to the bookstore or the library. Today, my oldest child is in college and my twins are juniors so they no longer go with me on these outings. And although I don't need to go to the actual store anymore because I have the greatest device ever invented—a Kindle, I still do. There's nothing like a paperback. So now my four year old and I make dates out of going to the bookstore--it's time I love and cherish.

I like to believe in soulmates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I love to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart. <3
