Whether you loved it or felt it came up short there is one thing you cannot deny. The magnetic panty melting sexiness that is Kellan Kyle.

Kellan





My Casting






I...

Shit...

I don't even know where to begin. I'll just talk about what I loved!

One of the most highly anticipated books of 2013 had it's highs and lows for the characters we have grown to love.. And I enjoyed every second of it. Maybe it's just me but I love how relationships are captured in this book.

Kiera and Kellan

These two ripped out my heart, lungs, liver and all other vital organs throughout this whole series.

In Thoughtless
I loved him and hated her

In Effortless
I loved him and slowly started to like her

In Reckless
I loved him and I totally have a girl crush on her *shrugs* What can I say, she grew on me!

Yeah, she made some bad judgement calls but overall my girl held it DOWN for her man. And that put a smile on my face. She went to bat for her relationship when all arrows pointed to failuresville.(Yeah, I made that word up.)*shrugs*

 '. . . my heart was anchored to Kellan. Being apart from him stretched my soul in opposite directions. It was painful. No, it was torture. He was everything to me, and I didn’t want to miss a moment of his journey just because parts of it were unpleasant.'



I take it alllll back.. I considered Kiera weak for some of the things that happened in Thoughtless but in Reckless she proved that she is no weakling. She had to bare some things I don't think I would have endured. Which goes to show you really should never judge a person.


“I don’t want to hurt you. And I don’t see how any of this won’t hurt you.”
Pulling back from him, I said,

“And I don’t want you to give up on your dream because of me.” ~Kellan and Kiera


Kiera and Kellan are a team whatever they face they always faced it together head on and I think that is the ONLY reason they have survived.


I love and appreciated how S.C. Stephens highlighted all the characters and of course there is always one who stands out. Griffin.

'Griffin had impregnated my sister. He really was family now. Lord help me.' ~Kiera

Griffin and Anna
In all his male egotistical driven macho raunchy glory Griffin stole the show. We really get a glimpse at the man behind the over the top raunchy comments. While I still question Griffin's capability to be a father(because honestly should this guy be allowed to teach another human being anything???) Exactly. I no longer question his love for Anna. He admitted out of his own potty mouth...

“You’re in love with me?”
Every head shifted to the open hotel room door that Anna was leaning against. The energy in the air shifted again as Griffin locked eyes with her. Matt and Evan released him as he whispered,
“Yes.”

Other relationships are briefly shown with the other two band mates. But the relationship that really really did a number on me was the one between Kellan, Kiera and Denny. The mutual love and respect tugged at my heartstrings.
And I won't dwell on it since I don't want to spoil it, however I will say that I LOVE ME SOME DENNY!!!!


Now as I previously mentioned I enjoyed these characters but there were a few rotten apples in the bunch. Sienna and Nick. In fact I have a special message for Sienna check it out












It's not cool to mess with peoples lives the way she did.. Under any circumstances. PERIOD. That BITCH can eat dirt.



Favorites

Scenes and/or lines that made laugh out love

“Did you just fuck him into submission?” He held his knuckles up to me. “Nice.” ~Griffin to Kiera

“No, let’s make this interesting. If I win, we have sex backstage tonight. If you win, we have sex backstage tonight.” ~Kellan to Kiera

“Oh my God  .  .  . I married Ron Jeremy.” ~Kiera to Kellan

“Griff? This is starting to really fucking hurt.” Griffin ran his hands back through his hair.
“Okay, no problem. We’ll get you to a hospital, and they’ll knock you out.”


My Thoughts
This book was full of "OH SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK? OH HELL NO!" moments. It was tender, emotional and sexy. Anything involving Kellan is sexy! I LOVED IT!
