Publisher's Summary

After being caught in the middle of a love triangle which 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 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.

    Story
    "Disclaimer; I am not age appropriate for this book"

    This is like a soap opera. You can skip more than one chapter&you won't have missed a thing. What have women for generations work toward for these types of girls. There wasn't a real woman in the entire story.
    It's all about her immature, needy, silly "relationship".
    It's all about the sex.
    It's all about her unending list of insecurities& his.
    Back and forth, back and forth just like high school.
    3 downloads of too much meaningless sex, silly emotionally outbursts, a girl that has no self awareness at all. In the language of girls....whatever.
    The production quality isn't the best on either of these books.
    I take responsibility for purchasing these books. But Audible if you want to keep me as a customer you are going to have to figure a rating system so I do not unknowingly purchase these books that are meant for...well, in my opinion no one.
    I love a good romance but I do require a story other than 3 downloads of this girl who has no story except her fears about what her boyfriend is doing. If this is a trend in romance I may have to go to non-fiction.

    "Not Effortless"
    What disappointed you about Effortless?

    The reader is not very good and to be honest the characters are not interesting at all.


    What was most disappointing about S. C. Stephens’s story?

    I feel like I am in the middle of someone's plain ordinary life. If read to get out of the ordinary. To be fair I have only listened to about four hours of the book and nothing is hooking me.


    How could the performance have been better?

    There wasn't much emotion in the read.


    Any additional comments?

    I had a hard time with the main character. I can only listen to someone who lacks self confidence and thinks that everyone else is better than them for so long. I don't mind a person being modest or plain but this girl found everyone else exotic and nothing about herself interesting. I found her high maintenance in a negative way.

    I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.

    "The ride continues!!!"

    BEFORE:
    I anxiously download and continue the saga of Kiera and Kellan. What is the author going to take me through this time? Will Kiera make juvenile mistakes over and over again? Will Kellan be the one who screws things up? I haven’t even started the book yet and I’m tied in knots. You’ve just got to love an author that rates this kind emotion from her writing.

    AFTER:
    Kellan has got an opportunity for a 6 month tour. Finally his dream is coming true. There’s just the problem of leaving Kiera. Kellan is so worried Kiera will cheat on him, like she did on Denny. Kellan thinks Kiera will not be able to be alone. Kiera is afraid Kellan won’t be able to keep his hands off all those women that throw themselves at him; after all he is a man whore. Will their love survive? Can it survive the test of being apart for 6 months with all those insecurities that Kiera and Kellan have to deal with?

    As they go through these times I’m all tensed up. Please do the right thing this time. Of course, nobody does what they should do, but never mind because that’s what makes it so good, and it is so good. In fact it’s so good I’m getting the next book!! The books in this series are mild in the sexual content. The first one and this one are very good and I believe worth the credit or purchase price.

    "Love, Love, Love It!!!!!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Effortless to be better than the print version?

    I did not read the print version, but I do feel that this narrator brought each character to live.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    My favorite character, of course, is Kellan. However, Griffin is so colorful that I loved him as well. He lightens scenes and "the Hulk" is classic. Kellan is sweet, sexy, and humble, the perfect mix.


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

    She gives each character personality. Her inflections and accents completely made the story. Each character had their own charm.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Overcoming issues and obstacles is always difficult, but loving someone is Effortless.


    Any additional comments?

    I loved this series. Some of the off handed humor caught me off guard. Each character had their own draw. You could picture each person and their personality.

    Story
    "Dull and repetitive"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    Teenagers or young adults that are new to dating or have friends that are experiencing the emotions of romantic relationships.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    I like more adult romance such as Suzanne Brockman and Nora Roberts.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Rebekkah Ross’s performances?

    No. I am not really a fan of Rebekkah's narration style.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    This book seems to be written for someone much, much younger than me. The only redeeming quality is that with all the repetitiveness and self doubt of the main character, I am a little curious to hear how the story ends -- that is, if I can convince myself to listen until the end.


    Any additional comments?

    Wish I could apply the credit I used to purchase this book on something a bit more appealing to my interests.

    "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.
