EXCITING NEWS!!! Connected has just been re-released from Penguin along with an updated cover. Here are the new purchase links:

AMAZON | BARNES & NOBLE | KOBO | iTUNES

The content has been re-edited but the story remains the same. Thank you for supporting River and Dahlia's journey ♥

I NEVER, EVER thought when I wrote Connected that I would be writing this, honestly I didn’t.

Four weeks ago today Connected was released and I have enjoyed every single minute since then. And now I get to announce that I am in the process of signing with Penguin for both Connected and Torn.

I am just so excited that I get to work with my agent Amy Tannenbaum of the Jane Rotrosen Agency and Kerry Donovan of NAL, a division of Penguin. Thank you for believing in me!!!

And I completely and totally understand that I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for the amazing readers! So THANK YOU so very very much for supporting me!!!

♥ Kim

I heard there has been a little bit of confusion surrounding the order of the books and the length of the Connections  Series. Dahlia’s story wraps up the two books, Connected and Torn. Connected and Torn are two full-length novels that complete a duet following the main characters that you met in Connected.

Please know that I believe in soul mates, true love, and Happily-Ever-Afters and I hope that you can trust me to take the story to someplace that you will like.

As for the rest of the series—there are going to be four novels following the secondary characters of Connected and so that you will be able to get the rest of their stories.

The first is this titled Frayed and centers around Bell, the second is Mended and the character will be revealed later, the third is Flawed and discusses Aerie, and the final novella is Perfected and focuses of Xander.

I am very open to talking to you at anytime about Connected. Feel free to message me :)

“This beautifully written love story contains just the right amount of mystery and intrigue mixed in with a heaping dose of lust, swoony romance and passion plus a tiny smidgen of angst. It drew me in hook, line and sinker just like the little fishy I was reaching for that yummy bait.”

"I have to say, usually I see things coming, but this ending surprised me! It is a cliffhanger ending, but it does not end mid-scene or in a horribly frustrating spot. You WILL want the second book ASAP, but you won't (or shouldn't) go all-out postal with where the story leaves off;) ... This is a first-rate debut, and I am thrilled and excited to see what else this author has in store for
us!!"

“There is a cliffhanger at the end of this book and it will certainly have you asking questions and just wanting more. I recommend you check this one out and I look forward to the next one and where Ms. Karr will take us on this journey of Dahlia and River.”

“WOW…I had to give myself a few days before writing my review because I was left speechless. This book is amazing. It had everything I love in a book: love, romance, suspense, shocking twists and turns and of course great sex! I could not put this book down and read it front to back in one sitting.”

“Kim Karr did an unbelievable job with the characters, and River will be stuck in my heart for a long time… I just adored him and how much he was willing to give everything to Dahlia. I loved that he was so willing to do just about anything for her, to protect her and to love her.”

“I have to say that this book knocked me off my feet! I never in a million years expected what transpired in the Epilouge. This book took a lot of twist and turns and left me thinking OMG OMG OMG did that just really happen... Needless to say that I think Kim did a brilliant job with this book and I gave it 5 BIG BEAUTFIUL BRIGHT SHINING STARS!!!!!!!!!”

"The storyline, the twist. By the end I was hooked. Yes, we are cliffhangered, but I honestly didn’t mind being pushed over the edge. I thought it was unique, hot, entertaining. It has some far fetched situations, but the author embraces the idea of fiction and uses it to her favor."

“It has been days since I finished 'Connected' and River and Dahlia are still with me. I'm still trying to work out the hows, whys and what's going to happen next!! My original rating was a great 4 stars!! But it's been 2 weeks since I finished Connected and Dahlia and River are still in my head so it has to be a heart
swelling 5 stars!!!”

“I read the blurb for this book and immediately knew this was the perfect book for me. Nothing gets better than a possible tortured love story between a rock star and a soulful girl. I set the bar high for this book. I have been patiently anticipating this book for weeks. Well Connections by Kim Karr not only met my expectations but blew them right out of the water. I am still reeling from this book. I don't think I will ever be the same. I feel like I have read a life changing book.”

“I read CONNECTED a few weeks ago and I instantly fell in love with it because it was different. It wasn't anything I'd read recently or even ever. Kim takes you on a roller coaster ride that doesn't want to let you off. At first when it starts, you think, 'oh I've read this'. but then it goes into uncharted territories that
you'll be clamoring for the end to see where it's all leading up!”

“I would say this book is 100% worth the read. As a matter of fact, I can tell you, had it not been for the ending, this would have been added to by 2013 Faves shelf. I take that back, it IS going on my faves shelf, due to the simple fact it is an A-FREAKIN'-MAZING book!! There is plenty of smexy heat, a couple of hotties and even a bit of mystery.”

“There is more to this book title than meets the eye. There are some other connections as well woven lightly throughout the story. But the connection between River and Dahlia was so freaking strong, you just know these guys are soul mates. Connected tugged at my heartstrings, made me tear up, made me fall in love, made me fan myself, and made me want more! There is no question about it, I will grab the next book, Torn, when it comes out in the fall.”

“I can’t say enough about this book! I LOVED IT! You will be sighing, swooning, and smiling
often but you will also be crying, yelling and you will have your jaw drop to the floor once or twice. OMG!!!! I love River and he is my new book boyfriend! Can I use any more exclamation points?!?!?!!!!”

“I definitely recommend Connected - it really has a little of everything; secrets, lies, CRAZY twists, SUPER HOT ROMANCE, all of it. Again, I’m certainly left intrigued and can’t wait to see where Dahlia and River’s story goes next. They’ve got some craziness ahead, that’s for sure! :)”

“Kim did an awesome job telling the story of River and Dahlia. From their first encounter at a bar the connection that they shared was a once in a lifetime kind of thing that seemed to link their souls together forever.”

"I LOVED LOVED LOVED everything about this story. And since I am such a music fan, I love how music is entwined with each aspect in the book. I can't tell you how many times I took out my i-pod just to listen to a song that was mentioned. This story really did leave me happy, but wanting to reading the second book with a sense of urgency! Kim Karr really did an outstanding job with her debut novel. I can not wait until the next book is out so I can rave over that one as well!"

“Holy hotness Kim Karr!!! I can't even begin to put in words how much I LOVE this book!! I was all over the map of emotions while reading this gem... I was smiling like a goofball in love, crying like I just lost my first dog, and then blushing because of the amazeball love scenes.... WHOA.... The scenes. M-E-O-W!!! Kim has now introduced me to one of my top 5 book crushes... RIVER WILDE! 5 out of 5 stars on the knock my socks off scale.... For sure!!!”

“Connected is a great debut novel for Kim…..a story about living life after loss, taking second chances, surviving, loving, connecting. The ending was absolutely, positively amazing! I did not see it coming, and I was guessing all the way to the end! I have a feeling there are still so many secrets that weren't revealed to us in Connected and I'm sure there are many more secrets we will find out in Torn.....really looking forward to reading more by Kim Karr!”
