Spectacular series- couldn't be any better!

Loved, loved, loved book 1.
Book 2 didn't disappoint as a follow up :)
This is the authors best trilogy. Have read the other and it was good, but this one was great. Spectacular. Wonderfully delightful.
The narrator was fantastic as Kiera again and I love her other voices. Her Australian accent is delightful and her performance of Griffin is the best! Griffin is my favorite character in the whole series. Comic relief is always the best :) I giggle whenever his lines are delivered.
I've listened to this series three times now, and am patiently waiting for the release of book 4, from Kellen's view point.
Read this side of the story 1st... You won't be disappointed!

I love this trlogy, I can't wait for the 3rd book.

What did you love best about Effortless?

This was a great follow-up book to Thoughtless. I loved both books. It's a great storyline about betrayal and what it can do to a relationship. I can't wait for the 3rd and final book to come out. I have re-read this book several times.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were more than one scene that I find is my favorite. The scene when Kellen comes home to suprise Kiera and finds Denny there, is just one of many. I also love the scene in Pete's right after graducation when Kellen meets his biological father. There are a coupe more that I love just a much.

Brilliant addition to a fabulous series

What made the experience of listening to Effortless the most enjoyable?

Rebekkah...she once again does a flawless job.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Effortless?

Christmas with Kellan. :-) Them exchanging presents was awesome....I loved it.

What does Rebekkah Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The entire book is from Kiera's POV and her voice is spot on what I imagine for Kiera. She doesn't over do it on the voices, she just does a great job of portraying it effortlessly.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end...at the bar...everything about it - don't want to spoil it but all the angst is 100% worth it for that ending!

Any additional comments?

Love this series and getting to experience it another time was exactly what I needed.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes actually i could not put the book down and read for hours into the night

it was awesome. really enjoyed it .

really enjoyed this book...so good cant wait for the next one. cant wait to see what happens

Kellan!!

Having finished listening to THOUGHTFUL, I *had* to buy this audiobook and continue Kellan and Kiera’s journey, even if it wasn’t in Kellan’s POV.

I had forgotten how much I disliked Kiera, but Kellan’s character made everything worth it! Kiera was annoying as ever and Kellan was amazing as always!! LOL

I really didn’t cara for the narrator, unfortunately. But I did put that behind me and enjoyed the story FOR SURE.

Five stars to this angsty book!
Four stars to the narration.

Effortless

I absolutely loved this book, and the audio is just as wonderful! Rebekkah Ross did a wonderful job of narrating Effortless, and bringing realism to Kellan and Kiera. I highly recommend this audio!

Needs a thesaurus!

Very good story but SC needs to purchase a thesaurus. Really there are so many ways to say the word, chuckle. (Laugh, smile, etc). And the word, blush...she did better, using flush and redden. I’ll read the next in the series but I’m going to read another book to get some rest from the chuckles.

Part two is sooooo much better!

There are still lots of ups and downs and REALLY stupid decisions but honestly the story is sooooo good. Love how Kellen and Kiera are growing and changing. And oh my Anna!!! WOW!

Good story

What about Rebekkah Ross’s performance did you like?

Amazing orator!

Any additional comments?

I am saying this about all three books - good story, but long. I really felt it could be edited down and still have a great story. I think the author got a little too descriptive in the thoughts of the main character.
