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.

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.

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.

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.

Intense and getting hotter!!!

Wow! Very good follow up. I love that fact that it picks up right where the last book left off. Kiera is with Kellan and Denny is out of the picture. No more triangle. This book is all about Kellan and Kiera inner demons and struggling to make their very very very intense rocky relationship work while Kellan is off becoming a rock star. Kiera actually redeems herself a little to me in this book. She really is in love with Kellan but she just put herself in the dankest situations.

Ross does another stellar performance.

Great credit if you have book one. Great buy if you buy along with book one. I can't wait to listen to book 3.

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!
