Publisher's summary

For almost two years now, Kiera’s boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she’s ever wanted: loving, tender, and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together - Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university - everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart.

Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source - a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he’s purely a friend she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship. And then one night everything changes... and none of them will ever be the same.

loved it!

I can't wait to read effortless and learn what happens next with Kiera and Kellan. I enjoyed the character development and Rebekkah's narration style was relaxing to follow.

I love this book! One of my all time favorites!

This is a must read and listen. I read it first and then listened to it. Two great characters with an unbelievable, messy, love story.

So much repetitiveness!

There is so much repetitiveness in this book. From using the same words over and over, to the storyline repeating itself over and over. This book could have been shortened by so much because I feel like the storyline was drug out wayyyy too long. It could’ve been so much better if it wasn’t so drawn out. Also in the audio, there is so much background noise that it’s sometimes very distracting. That also could have been improved. I don’t know if I would recommend this book

pretty good, but wasn't impressed with the sequels

the story is pretty good, though incredibly sad at times. I'd have probably preferred a different ending, but it was alright. the sequels aren't worth it though. especially "thoughtful."

3rd time with this series

I read these books before I listened to this audio. I read some of the reviews attached to this book and I agree with most of it. I was surprised to see how long this audio was. I thought at first maybe it was the whole series, 😂😂. It definitely could’ve been much shorter. Keira going back and forth didn’t need so many backs and forths. Yes, she is a pretty horrible character. It’s repeatedly said that she’s not that special looks wise, she is SUPER codependent and for some reason here are two hot, smart guys that love a clingy, indecisive woman. Who knew! With all that being said, it’s still an entertaining read. It’s confusing to me when people say this book didn’t have a plot. What did you expect from a romance novel? As far as the voiceover work, I don’t care about some sounds in the background every now and then. So what? Personally I didn’t hear it.

Emotional Whiplash!

Narration Rebekkah Ross. Really Good! She has a nice voice, and solid characters, has a little trouble with showing emotion with Kellan's character voice, but overall, pretty nice.

Original Review from March of 2014 - "Wow! I'd like to say I really liked or even loved this book, only because I loved Denny and Kellan Kyle. Kiera??? The majority of the book is her cheating and abusing two great guys (Well, OK, Kellen had his moments where he wasn't so great) but Denny - oh, to have a sexy Aussie tell you 'your my heart' - my oh my. *sighs*

This is really a tough read and the heroine is (in my humble opinion) impossible to love, like, or even put up with."

So now, almost exactly two years to the day of my first listen of this title, I have to say Wow! Again, just Wow. If it's possible, I love Denny and Kellan even more. This is just a gut wrenching book, ugly crying, head shaking, yelling, swooning, wanting to b***ch slap someone, or several people.

This book has a big ole giant cheater, in fact, I think this is the book that originally caused me to create my "cheaty-cheaterson" shelf on Goodreads. I still agree that Kiera is a heroine that is impossible to put up with, and while I normally can't stand books with cheaters in them, I couldn't put this down. I was annoyed when anyone interrupted me. I was annoyed that I had to sleep. I was annoyed if I had to go somewhere and interact with other individuals because it was keeping me from continuing my listen. Such an emotional story, so many feelings swirling right now. This book will give you emotional whiplash.

Good read

This should really be a Netflix movie by now. Much better than beautiful disaster. IMO

Second Verse Same as the First....

Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens and Narrated by Rebekkah Ross is O.K., but nothing really special. I found it to be extremely monotonous, and longer than necessary. The plot is almost nonexistent. Rebekkah Ross actually did a very good job with the narration, considering the length and repetitive nature of the story.

I am amazed that I stuck it out to the bitter end. I found myself wondering about how much longer it would take to get to the conclusion, which seldom happens to me. I would definitely not listen to this book again, and cannot say that it was/is credit worthy.
Bottom line: Save your credit!

Very nice! So glad there are more!

I was a bit worried about reading a book with “cheating” in it….but S.C. tactfully gets through to the readers that sometimes you are just with the wrong person. I think many things in the story could have been handled better, but that is the nature of real life too. This book was very realistic, and plausible, and it had a great down to earth vibe to it that makes it one of my favorite of all time.

Okay, so it's good but makes me CRAZY

So seriously this is a great series, but the first book is the beginning of Kiera's growth so this book is so annoying, probably just as I was at that age. Now this is a great story but honestly there are times I want to just pull my hair out. Kiera is learning to be unselfish and has a huge decision to make! I know that I'm making it sound bad, it really isn't it's just that you have to get through the turmoil to get to the great parts. The story is well written, there are lots of hot parts and the storyline is good. Lots of great and interesting secondary characters. Kellen is so awesome, ups and downs but of course we love him.
