Tied is Kim Karr’s sole entry in the short fiction category, a novella published in 2017 during her most active writing period. At novella length, it delivers the core elements of her romance style, sharp character chemistry, emotional stakes, and a genuine sense of attraction, in a much shorter format than her series work.
Novellas from romance authors often serve as introductions to their world or as bonus content tied to an existing series, but Tied stands on its own. It does not require knowledge of the Connections series or any of Karr’s other books, which makes it a useful starting point for readers who want to get a quick read on her writing before investing in a longer series.
For existing Kim Karr fans, Tied is a worthwhile addition to the collection, particularly for those who appreciate her character-driven approach applied to a tighter story structure. Short fiction demands economy, and the novella format suits authors who can communicate character and feeling efficiently, which Karr does well.
