Effortless

7/5/14

Okay, so I found out that I have to finish this book by the 23rd of this month. So I'm putting down Angel Killer, even if I don't want to, and picking up this book. Effortless is actually the second book in a series. I gave the first book a pretty good review on my website, www.lysrobison.webnode.com, and now I'm up to reviewing this book. I got pretty excited when it arrived at the library since I requested it.
Anyways, a little recap on what happened in the first book. If you want to know what actually happened, I recommend you read it. Its like watching a modern version of a soap opera with way better acting. The book is so relateable in a way.
So Thoughtless started with our main character, Kiera, traveling all the way across the country with her boyfriend for his job. They move in with one of his friends and everything seems to go pretty well. At least until Kiera's boyfriend, Danny, leaves to a whole different state. Kiera ends up getting closer to Danny's best friend, Kellan, and you can so see something brewing up between these two.
Things get more complicated when Danny is offered a job in a different state and asks Kiera to finish up school, then meet up with him. She basically told him no way, did something stupid, and then woke up in a haze of guilt. Danny comes back and all hell breaks loose between Kellan and Kiera because Kiera can't choose who the hell she wants. It gets so bad that there are a few fights that break out. Some one almost gets killed. Then it ends with Kiera fighting for the man she loves to take her back. Surprise, surprise, its Kellan. But, he still doesn't trust her all that much and fears that she'll leave him for some other guy.
So, all this leads to the next book in line, Effortless. I am just about to start it and am pretty excited what drama lies within its pages. Is someone going to cheat? Is someone going to leave? Maybe one wants to get married while the other doesn't. Maybe even a baby on the way. Who knows. The possibilities seem endless before you even read the first page. So, I'll post once again with I'm a third of the way.
So until next time, go read Thoughtless so you aren't lost.

 I'm never going to get Effortless done if I only read one or two chapters a day. I just finished chapter three and I hardly made a dent. Anyways, right now everything in the book is all dandy. Also I made a name error with the last book, Thoughtless. The ex-boyfriend's name is Denny, not Danny. I got one letter wrong. Anyways, everything seems perfect between Kellan and Kiera. Still some insecurities going on, but what do you expect after what happened in Thoughtless. Kiera still sees Kellan as a guy that likes to sleep around and can pretty much have anyone he wants. She is also afraid that if they rush things that their relationship will burn out. Kellan on the other hand wants to rush things, but still respects Kiera's choices. He is also fighting with a troubled past that he doesn't really talk about, and the fear of coming second with Kiera. I'm still waiting for some drama to start in this book. Right now it just feels like it is dragging on. I'm practically telling the book to hurry it up right now. So, I'm going to force myself to read at least three chapters today. I got one done so far, two more to go.

 I read the three chapters that I wanted. Not much happened except one of Kellan's old flings tried to put a damper on their relationship. Of course, it worked. Kiera still thinks that Kellan will just sleep with what ever woman he wants. Talk about throwing a guys past in his face. Obviously the girl doesn't trust the guy. Of course he doesn't trust her either. The big event in the book is that Kellan goes on tour with his band. Due to previous events in the first book, he thinks history will repeat itself. He's scared that if he leaves, Kiera will get so lonely and cheat on him. I'm trying to figure out how they can have a relationship if they can't trust each other. I guess that is why it makes it such a good book.

 Sadly I haven't been reading much yet. Effortless is like pulling teeth right now. There is absolutely no drama going on. Right now all I'm reading about it that Kellan is about to leave and how she doesn't look forward to it. I pretty much stopped reading when he is about to leave and he went to class with her. Nothing exciting. But, I'll try to read some more. There is a lot going on right now with my family's annual garage sale coming up. Also I got my costumes that I'm making. Its just a mess right now. But I will be sure to read more. I'm as curious on how this whole thing plays out as you are. Especially when they get tested on how much they really do love each other. Will they learn to finally trust each other, or will it all blow up in smoke?

 So I'm a little over halfway through Effortless. I also have to admit that I kind of peeked ahead. Just reading only the conversations is good and make you want to keep reading. Anyways, Kellan is on tour and Kiera is finding little notes every where that Kellan left behind. It is like the sweetest thing ever. I would love just going through out my day and finding a random note telling me how beautiful I am, or how I light up someone's world every day. Kellan is a sweetie in this book. Anyways, things just got interesting because Kiera's boyfriend Denny comes back. She is totally freaking out because she knows that Kellan is going to think the worse. Due to my peaking, she should of just told him right away to safe some future drama. The girl just hasn't learned a thing. But, I'm not to the point that I just don't want to put the book down. I just know it is going to be really good now that Denny is back in the picture. And, I thought the Christmas scene was good. This just got better.

I'm a horrible reader. The point of the making it seem that Kellan is cheating through the whole last half of the book is to make you keep reading to see. Of course, the idiot that I am had to peek. So I knew the big secret before I even finish the book. I'm so ashamed. Anyways, I'm pretty much done with the book and you find out the secret after Kellan and Kiera have a huge fight. Starts with Kellan coming home to see Kiera being a good friend to Denny, because he's sad his girlfriend is still on the other side of the world. The fight get worse after Kellan storms out of Kiera's room while she is taking a shower, or at least after she's done. Kiera storms over to Kellan's house demanding why he dumped her and stormed out with out explaining. I'm not sure what happens after it all gets straightened out. I'm not quite done yet, but I will be later tonight if I don't fall asleep. Either way this is a really good book and I'd give it five stars. I highly recommend it and also the first book you should read as well. You won't want to put it down once the drama all starts. My next book is going to be Where You Are by Tamara Webber, which is also a sequel to another book. I'll give you the run down on the first book just like this one in my next post. So until next time.
