So i finished this book today and one thing I can say is that the love story was great but man, the guy...main hero...River was just so in love with the girl it sometimes felt unbelievable but in a good way.
I really liked him...
and i liked the girl..
I really liked him...
and i liked the girl..
That ending was so unexpected. Can't wait to start Torn.
Omg I Love this book from the 1st page to the last this was an AMAZING read!!!! I'm soooo glad I have Book two on hand so I can read it Now!!! This is a Must Read in my opinion!
Entertaining read, sometimes you just need a little romance :)

I had a hard time deciding whether I’d join the blog tour of this book or not. The cover was really a big turn off to me and normally, if I don’t like the cover of the book then I will not read it. I’m one of those people who sometimes judge a book by its cover and the cover was screaming sex on it. But, yes, there’s a but to it. The tag line of this book (or whatever you call it) really caught my attention. It said there, “What if once in a lifetime could happen twice?” And suddenly, I convinced myself to look past the book cover and focus on the contents of the book. So I tweeted Chyna of Lite-Rate-Ture! If I could still join the tour and thankfully, she let me join. Even though the tour sign ups was already closed.
Connected started okay with me. I instantly liked the protagonist in the story—Dahl. She’s really cool. I also like Ben and his ceaseless use of bad words which was quite a surprise for me. Because I normally hate the kind of guys like Ben (those guys that cusses too much). I thought it would be temporary only but as the story goes on, I still found myself liking Ben. Maybe that’s why I had a problem on connecting towards River because right from the start I was rooting for Ben and Dahlia.
One of the things that turn me off in a book is when the character will cheat for another guy/girl despite him/her having a boyfriend/girlfriend already. That’s one of my pet peeves. So when I was reading the scene where Dahlia and River first met, the thought that was running in my mind was, “Uh-oh. I have a feeling that she would cheat and have sex with this stranger.” And I was really pleased that it didn’t turn out like that, that my prediction was wrong.
I was happy how the author came up of a not so predictable way for Dahlia and River to be together without Dahlia having to cheat on Ben. As the story progress, my interest was slowly fading out. Like I said, maybe it’s because I can’t feel any connection towards River and when the author killed off Ben (my heart cried out on that scene, by the way) and focuses more to River and Dahlia, my connection to this book wasn’t just there anymore.
Connected left me with a lot of unanswered questions in my mind. There are a lot of things which I am still guessing about, a lot of suspicion towards some of the characters and a certain feeling that left me wanting for more. This book might not be one of my favorites but I still want to know what will happen next.
P.S. My heart jump started when I’ve read the ending of this book! Eeeeep! You’re such a tease, Kim. ;)
