CHANGED by Heather Dahlgren

Release Date June 6th, 2014
Blog Tour Hosted By: Author Sandra Love




Kenz hated high school.  Having no friends, no boyfriend, and worst of all being bullied—graduation was the only thing she looked forward to.  After graduation, she completely reinvents herself becoming the person she always wanted to be.  Someone different.  Changed.  When she gets to college, she easily makes friends, boyfriends, and loves life.  For once in her life, she adores the person she has become.
Enter Campbell Boyd —the attraction between them is instant.  He is sexy as hell.  Sweet, romantic, flirty.  He definitely knows how to treat a woman in and out of the bedroom.   
Once he has his sights set on Kenz, there is nothing that will stand in his way.  Or maybe there is something that could ruin it all?  One small detail that Kenz tries desperately to ignore—one that can only be swept under the rug for so long.     
What happens when the past and present collide and secrets are revealed?  Is it possible to forgive or will it destroy them both?  One thing’s for sure—things are going to change.

I was really looking forward to reading Changed by Heather Dahlgren. Thank you Heather, I really enjoyed it!

Kennedy Greene had a hard time in high school and was always being bullied, so when she graduated and went to college, she started the life she had always wanted. She completely changed her look, made new friends, and even started dating. Her life was finally on the path she had always dreamed of until one night at a bar with two of her girlfriends. Maddie and Becca had set their sights on one nice piece of eye candy. Only Kennedy shortly realizes that the eye candy is no stranger to her past. Kenz does all that she can to forget about seeing him but when she runs into him again, she can't keep him off her mind.

Campbell Boyd spots Kenz across the bar and instantly is attracted to her. Shortly after seeing her, he buys a round of drinks for Kenz and her friends as they all sit around and talk. After a while, Kenz runs off and Campbell can't figure out what went wrong because he thought that they had a connection. In a desperate haste, Campbell gives his number to Becca asking her to tell Kenz to please call him. Well, the call never comes and he doesn't hear from her until he see's her one night unexpectedly.

After they run into each other again, Campbell won't give up on his chance with Kenz so he asked her on a date. Kenz at first hesitates, but after talking to Maddie, she decides to let her wall down and said yes to Campbell. Kenz and Campbell go on their first date and there are immediate fire works! After they start dating,  Kenz, Maddie, and Becca become good friends with Campbell and his two roommates, Young and Dick. They all start hanging out together and are consistently at each others apartments. Kenz and Campbells relationship is going good but Kenz has a secret that she hasn't told Campbell about. She knows she has to tell him the truth about her past but she keeps putting it off. Unexpectedly, Kenz past is right in front of her face and everything falls apart. Her secret is out and Campbell can't believe that she would hold that information from him. Now they are both hurting and fighting for their relationship. Will they get past the lies and get their relationship back or will they lose one another because Kenz was not honest from the beginning?

One of the things that made me laugh all the time was that they would play 'Truth or Dare" at home or out at the bar. It was hilarious some of the things they had to do. It made me want to go back and start playing that game again. LOL.. I really liked the relationship between all the characters and how they all grew to really love and care about each other. I'm looking forward to the next book to see where Kenz and Campbells relationship goes from here. Also, it sounds like another relationship from these friends is in the works so I'm looking forward to reading about that as well.

Congratulations to Heather on her debut novel! A great start to a good series!



I am 36 years old.  I am married to my high school sweet heart.  We have been married for almost 12 years and have 3 amazing kids.  I’m a stay at home mom and my kids definitely keep me busy.  I live at the Jersey Shore and love all there is to do here.  I love nature, birds especially.  I enjoy hiking and fishing with my family. 
I have always loved to write.  In high school I used to write stories, poems and a lot of love notes!  I absolutely love to read.  I love the way I can get lost in a book and forget about the world around me.  Now that I am writing books, I feel the same way, only it’s my book I’m getting lost in.   
As for now, I am loving this journey of becoming an author.  It has been more then I dreamed it would be.   
You can always find me online.  I love social media, so please feel free to interact with me.
