From the #1 New York Times bestselling author S.C. Stephens comes the new adult series everyone is talking about–and a love triangle you won’t forget. After being caught in the middle of a love triangle that led to a devastating betrayal, Kiera pledged to learn from the mistakes she’d made. She was determined to never again inflict that kind of pain on anyone, especially the soulful, talented … soulful, talented man who held her heart. But life offers new challenges for every relationship, and when Kiera’s love is put to the ultimate test, will it survive? Love is easy…trust is hard.more
Effortless continues Kiera, Kellan and Denny’s story from where Thoughtless ended. I always thought that this second book in the original trilogy was my favourite out of the three but right now it seems to equal the adoration I have for Thoughtless, quite possibly because there are some scenes in Thoughtless that I have on a pedestal and there are others taken from this book that are up there too.
My favourite books to read are those that have me feeling emotions but I am a sucker for an ugly cry story. I mentioned certain scenes being on a pedestal and the two that I want to highlight from this book I read through tear filled puffy eyes. I’m going to quote two lines from the story and the first I love because not only was a sobbing mess when I read it, but it had the power to make me laugh out loud through the tears. It is, “Yeah….thanks for….letting us come….” and I’m certain that scene will be remembered by many readers for the feelings it brought out in them too. The second when once again I was a blubbering mess (but no laughing this time!) was the scene where Kellan tells Kiera ‘I also lied……turn around.’ and I know I need say no more.
I loved that during this part of the story the author ensured that we knew that all three characters continued to be affected by the events that happened in Thoughtless. Kellan and Kiera may be each other’s soulmates, but how they came to be a couple left them both with trust issues and this is huge for any relationship.
I love how this book ended. Kiera and Kellan’s journey so far has been quite a roller coaster ride. There have been ups and downs, plus highs and lows and as we head into the next chapter of their lives where everything is changing again, I look forward to seeing how they handle the obstacles that are bound to come their way.
Five incredible stars for this story that is truly my ultimate favourite.
I’ve read this trilogy countless times and every time I read it I FEEL everything. It’s amazing
One of my favorite series of all time!! I love Kellan.
I love this series! SC Stephens has done a phenomenal job of continuing the story of Kellan Kyle and Kiera Allen!
This is the sequel to Thoughtless, where we were first introduced to the main characters. Kiera and Kellan are finally moving their relationship forward after a difficult beginning. Kellan’s band- the D-Bags- are also moving up when they are discovered at Bumbershoot. They are going on tour, and Kellan and Kiera have to figure out how to navigate their relationship and find trust in each other while being apart for an extended period of time.
SC Stephens really captured the feelings that Kellan and Kiera are experiencing. I absolutely loved it, and highly recommend Effortless. This series is a top five series of mine, without a doubt!
I fell in love even more with the character Kellan Kyle in this second book of this series. This book was a great continuation of an amazing and intense love story. I definitely recommend this book. I look forward to the next book.
A MUST READ!
