Reading this book for the third time was just as Effortless as the first. This book is the follow up to Thoughtless, and begins where Thoughtless left off. It is Kiera and Kellan’s story; a story that starts at the end of a love affair, and the beginning of a relationship.
“Loving you, Kellan, is so easy, it’s effortless.� His smile matched mine, then I frowned and sighed. “Trusting you…that’s the hard part.� He sighed, his eyes dropping. “We messed up, didn’t we?� “What do you mean?� Peeking back up at me, he shrugged. “How we got together, the lies, the betrayals…we doomed ourselves before we even started.� He shook his head. “We love each other so much…and we don’t trust each other at all.�
After struggling through their first year together, Kiera and Kellan have finally found their place. They have finally found their togetherness after living in a world of deception and lies. After surviving the affair that brought them together and the lies that drew them apart, Kiera and Kellan have finally found their place to be together, to love each other without fear and without regret.
But now with Kellan’s band finally getting the recognition they’ve been striving for, their relationship undergoes the ultimate test. The band has been asked to go on tour. Which will mean a 6-month separation, and a time apart that they both must overcome.

Kiera is still finishing her degree at Washington State, and Kellen must leave town to travel the country for months at a time trying to make a name for himself and his band. During this part of their story, Kiera and Kellan struggle to gain trust in each other and in their commitment to having a relationship.
It is apparent to both of them that history is repeating itself, with Kiera being left behind, and her man taking off, chasing his dream. But Kiera has learned from her past, and she is still suffering from the guilt of forcing Denny to give up his dream job. So this time, she is encouraging Kellan to go. She can see how talented he and his band are, and she doesn’t want them to miss out on their opportunity for success. So she buries her fears, and supports his tour. But, is she strong enough to let him go? Can she trust him, knowing his past, and knowing his allure to women?
“I’ll still be with you every night, Kiera. Every night, no matter where I am, I’m crawling into bed with you. Our bed will be a lot bigger, miles wide, but it will still just be you and me inside it…okay?�
Kellan also has to learn to trust Kiera. Knowing how easily she strayed from Denny while he was away, Kellan also struggles to trust Kiera during his absence. Especially after she deceives him about Denny’s return to Seattle. But it seemed that Kellan was hiding a secret too.
This part of the story was a struggle for Kiera and Kellan, but it was a necessary in the solidification of their trust. (view spoiler)[And it almost ended them. Almost. (hide spoiler)]
I really loved this book. I loved watching Kiera and Kellan bond as a couple. Even through their rough times, it was a joy to watch them grow together, to learn to communicate with each other, to learn to trust.
I did find at times that Kiera’s constant thoughts of admiration for Kellan’s looks and his body was a bit redundant. Of course, I probably would have been thinking the same thing, but it did get a bit tiresome at times to read about. Kiera, herself though, was at least a little less annoying than she was in the first book. Still, annoying at times, but she seems to be growing up a bit. It was a bit easier to tolerate her inner monologue.
But otherwise I loved it all. There were some incredible steamy scenes, my personal favorite�(view spoiler)[the infamous bathroom scene at Matt and Griffin’s apartment! (hide spoiler)]
Griffin said, “That was so hot…like, off the scales hot. You guys should make a porno…I’d totally buy it!�
I also LOVED all of the characters. In particular, I loved Anna’s addition to the story. And of course, there is Griffin!!! Need I say more? I just LOVE HIM!!!!! So incredibly crude, and hilarious!!!! HE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE CHARACTER.
But then there is Kellan, so incredibly HOT! It is quite obvious how much in love he is with Kiera. And the swoon factor was off the CHARTS!!!
Grinning, he ran his finger along my jaw. “We’ve gone about as slow as I can go, Kiera. I love you. I’m sure that I want my life to always have you in it.� Shrugging, he shook his head. “Are you sure about me?� Staring into the deep azure eyes that could carry me away for hours, I nodded. “Yes, I’m sure,� I whispered, no doubt in my body about my statement.
I highly recommend this book to everyone who has read Thoughtless. It is the second segment of the story and should not be missed!!! I’m giving my re-read another 5 STAR rating. And I can’t wait to start Reckless!!!!!!
