Behind the Scenes Interview with Kellan Kyle

So, one of my amazing girls, Jenny Aspinall, got the opportunity to interview Kellan and Griffin from S.C. Stephens Thoughtless Series.  Because she is such an awesome friend and I totally bribed her with baseball tickets, she let me join her.   So with that, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet Kellan and Griffin from the D-Bags.  I tried to keep my mouth shut as much as possible since this was Jenny’s interview and I was just there as moral support but you all know how sometimes I just can’t help myself... not to mention this IS Kellan and Griffin (sigh, yes, Griffin).  Here is a snippet of the interview in Jenny's Point of View  (and some behind the scenes banter)-  I hope you enjoy.......

★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ 

I’m just sitting in a hotel room waiting for them to arrive and I have to say, I am beyond nervous. 

Oh my, Kellan has just walked in - (just for the girls) he's wearing faded blue jeans which are sitting on his hips, a white tee shirt and......no shoes!  Omigod, my cleverly masked control is slipping because Kiera is with him and I am in awe.
She is absolutely beautiful.  Kiera and Kellan are so stunning, they leave you breathless.
Griffin, large as life walks in, drops a few expletives, gives me a bear hug and sits next to them.

Jenny: *Shaking her head at Lori & stage whispers* Why are you adjusting your cleavage.... again?
Lori:    Are you kidding?  Look at them, they’re hot.
Jenny: *Looks over at Kellan and her jaw drops to her chest*
Lori:  Jenny... Jenny, close  your mouth honey *reaches over, with her hand on Jenny’s chin and closes her mouth.*  You’re drooling babe... deep breaths!

Jenny:     Hi everyone thanks for taking the time out of your tour to talk to us.  There are so many      questions to ask, I don't know where to start.  Kiera it's so nice to meet you, this is unexpected but I'm so happy you're here
Kiera:     (Blushing) I...can't believe I'm here either. (Looks over at Kellan) I was told we were going out to eat.
Kellan:     I said I had to make a quick pit stop first
Kiera:     You didn't mention that your "pit stop" was an interview. I thought we were just going to get your shoes back from Matt. (Looks confused) Why does Matt have your shoes anyway?
Kellan:     (Glares over at Griffin) Because some nimrod thought it was funny to chuck 'em over the balcony
Griffin:     (Smiling ear to ear) And it was funny. Did you see that tiny little dog peeing on one?
Kellan:     You're officially uninvited from dinner, Griff.
Griffin:     No way, I'm coming with whether you want me to or not. I'm fucking starving.
Kiera:     I apologize in advance for Griffin



Jenny:     Kellan, can I ask you what bands influence your music and what you’re listening to at the     moment?
Kellan:     Oh, wow, that's a tough one for me. I'm a lover of all music-- (Griffin interrupts) Even polka?
Kellan:     (Ignoring Griffin) I grew up with classic rock---AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd (yay!!)---    but I'm a huge fan of Linkin Park (yay), Hinder, Papa Roach, Seether. I'm easy to please.
Griffin:     Yep, that's what they say.

Jenny:          Griffin/Kellan, what is your favourite song of all time?
Griffin:     "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. It's my theme song.
Kellan::     You have a theme song...really?
Griffin:     Doesn't everybody? (Eyes Kellan up and down) Yours should be "I suck and Griffin's the Man" 
Kellan:     (Sighing) Why did I invite you along?
Griffin:     Because, like I said, I'm the Man
Kellan:     God, this is going to be a long interview.

Jenny::      Do you see yourselves doing a world tour down the track and more specifically, would you come to Perth (please say yes) if so, be sure to bring The Boss, I owe her a Vodka and you     know she’s addicted to Tim Tams!
Kellan:     Oh yeah, we're definitely heading down under!
Griffin:     Dude, you just said down under. (Smirks) I was just there an hour ago.
Kiera:     Griffin! God, you're disgusting
Kellan:     Anyway, yes, at some point we plan on visiting Australia, among other countries.
Griffin:     (Snorts) Down under
Lori:     *Looks over at Jenny*  Do you see why I love him?
Jenny:  *Shakes her head at Lori...again* I thought you were happily married?
Lori:       I am... we have one of those list things... you know a free pass kind of thing.  D has Megan Fox and I just happen to have Griffin
Jenny:  Why did I let you come again?

Jenny:     Kellan, would you get another tattoo and if so where? Griffin same question to you.
Kellan:     No, there's nothing else I want on me
Griffin:     I think I'm going to get a junk tatt
Lori:       *Looks over at Jenny and whispers* Now that I’d like to see... Now, do you see why I love him?
Kiera:     Classy
Griffin:     What? It's awesome. You'll only get to see all of it if I really like you. (Wiggles eyebrows suggestively)
Kiera:     (To Kellan) Can you leave him at home next time?
Kellan:     It's like you can read my mind

Jenny:      Kellan, where did you get the idea for the notes you left Kiera when you went on tour last                   time?
Kellan:     I...just...
Griffin:     (Smacks Kellan's arm) You left her love notes? Dude! Should I grab Kiera's purse     before we head out so you can get your balls back?
Kellan:     (Ignoring Griffin) I just wanted to make sure she knew how I felt
Jenny:  *Shares a knowing sweet look and sigh with Lori*
Kiera:     (Kisses his shoulder) It was very sweet - (these two are just adorable)

Jenny:      Kiera, did you just melt when you kept finding those notes (I know the whole female     population did)
Kiera:     (Turning bright red) Wow, these questions are turning really personal. Um, (Bites lip) yeah, of course. Who wouldn't? (Griffin raises one hand while pretending to jack off with the other)

Jenny:    Griffin, are you excited at the prospect of becoming a father and do you have any advice for other 'would be' fathers out there?
Griffin:     Uh, yeah-- ( Sorry, Lori’s clearing her throat to get Griffin’s attention.  She has a gift for    Griffin.  Griffin’s just opening it. Wow, this is so awkward. It’s a pair of knickers!)   Why does she have to encourage him?)
Griffin:     Fuck yeah, awesome!
Lori: *Smiles over suggestively at Griffin and gives him a saucy wink*
Jenny: *Looks at Lori with wide eyes*  Are you kidding me?
Lori:  What?  They’re just a pair of panties.  I hear that Rock God’s *Smiles at Griffin* love to collect them
Jenny: *Shakes her head*

(Lori and Griffin are having some sort of sign language conversation – she just wants to ask a couple of questions – I’ll have to let her or we’ll never get this finished.  Go ahead Lori,  if you must!)

Lori      Kiera - I'm sure being on the road with the guys, you're seeing and hearing a lot     of "interesting" things. So I'm curious to know, as an author, are you finding a lot of     inspiration?
Kiera:     More than I ever thought possible. (Smiles over at Kellan) I'm actually the most inspired when I watch him on stage. He's...something else. (sigh....)

Lori:      Kellan - When it comes to writing a song... what or who is your biggest inspiration?
Kellan:     (Looks down) Uh, for my earlier stuff, it was just life in general, the ups and the downs.     (Looks back at Kiera) I think it's pretty obvious who has been inspiring me lately, though     (I think I just fainted!)
Lori:     *Looks over at Jenny* OMG.  These two are so cute!

Griffin:     God, if this gets any sappier, I'm so outta here.
Lori: *Blows Griffin a kiss* Griffin, you ever want me to interview you.... in private.. I’ll make sure it’s far from sappy *Winks*
Jenny: For heavens sake Lori, you are something else.
Lori:   What?  I was just telling him if he wants his own interview sometime that I would love to do    it.
Jenny: Uh huh!
Lori:    Honey, you’ve got to get your mind out of the gutter here *Looks over at Griffin, smiles and winks* I could have suggested the interview be in the nude.....
Lori      Griffin - After reading Effortless my love for superheroes changed, I'm now a big fan of the   Hulk... who's your favorite?
Griffin:     Ah, Lori, I've managed to turn everyone I've ever met into a Hulk fan.
Kiera:     Not everyone, Griffin
Griffin:     (Sniffs) You just haven't given me the opportunity yet, Kiera
Kellan:     Griffin...
Griffin:     Just joking, man. Relax. To answer your question, Lori, I'm a big fan of Cat Woman. (Grins) A giant pussy wrapped in skin tight leather? What's not to love? (no comment)
Kiera:     Griffin! Small children might read this interview!
Griffin:     Pussycat, Kiera. It's a technical term
Kellan:     It really isn't, Griffin
Griffin:     Whatever. I didn't mean it like you guys thought. (Jerks thumb at Kellan and Kiera) They always have their minds in the gutter. It's embarrassing. (Smirks)

Jenny:      Lori, I can’t believe you just asked that!
Lori:     *Shrugs* What? I couldn't help myself and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know"
Jenny:     "Why did I let you come in here again?"
Lori:     "I'm going, I'm going. Bye Kellan, Kiera, and Griffin . It was a pleasure to meet y'all"
Lori: *Gives Kiera and Kellan a hug* *Sits down in Griffin’s lap to give him a little peck on the cheek*
Jenny:  Lori!
Lori: I’m going!  You’re awfully pushy tonight, but I still love you and I’ll have your cocktail waiting *smiles and winks at Jenny*

Jenny:    Sorry about that, where were we? Can you tell us your most embarrassing experience (mine was watching Griffin unwrap Lori's present)
Griffin:     Nothing embarrassing ever happens to me.
Kellan:    Uh, I've said some really, really stupid stuff when I've been drunk...yeah, I don't even want to go there.
Kiera:     Smart move.
Kellan:     Yeah...beautiful day today, isn't it? (good save!)

Jenny:         We’ve been told that SC is writing a book another book about you all, any idea when that might be available or what it will be called?
Kellan:     She won't tell me yet. She just says she's over halfway through it, and it's starting to really come together. I'm taking that as a good sign. Oh, God, the title, though. She's driving me     crazy with that one. Every five  minutes she's tossing another 'less' word at me, trying to get     my opinion. I told her to just title it TL3.    
Kiera:     Titles are tricky. I sympathize with her.
Griffin:     How about Kellanless? It could be an "all Griffin, all the time" book .(ahhh no thanks)
Kiera:     Well, then it would need to be named Classless or Tasteless    (boom!)
Griffin:     Or Suckless. (Scrunches brow) Wait, no, that's not good.  (not touching that one!)
Kiera:     (To Kellan) Please stop him. (Kellan smacks the back of Griffin's head)

Jenny:     Good luck with the tour and thanks so much for your time, we really appreciate it.
Kellan:      Thank you for having us. We really appreciate it  (swoon)
Griffin:     Any fucking time! (Smells underwear from Lori) Now, let's go eat!  (ewwww)
Kiera:     Thank you. That wasn't nearly as embarrassing as I thought it would be. (Leans in) And again,     I apologize for Griffin  (Kiera is divine! Could I love her anymore?)

Saying our goodbyes, we all hug (yes, Kellan hugged me....I think I just died)!

Lori:  *Looking at Jenny who is wide eyed, with a big smile on her face, and you can just see the giddy energy rolling off of her* Hey babycakes, I have your drink right here... you need it?
Jenny *barely holding in the squee'ing* YES! *Throws back her drink in one gulp*
Lori: Jenny, we just met 2 of the D-bags.... YOU just met Kellan Kyle
Jenny:  OMG Lori, I just met Kellan Kyle... THE Kellan Kyle... OMG I need another drink
Lori: I'm all over it, let's get your another drink *Stands to get up*
Jenny/Lori  *Launch at each other hugging and jumping up and down giggling and screaming their excitement*
Jenny:  Lori?  There are people starring at us
Lori:  So, we just met Kellan, Griffin, and Kiera... let them stare
Jenny: You're right... I just met Kellan... OMG I just HUGGED Kellan.  OMG you just gave Griffin a pair of your knickers you naughty girl
Lori: *Sigh's dreamily*  I know, isn't he so cute.  That dirty mouth of his...
Jenny: *Laughing at the look on Lori's face* I know, I wish I would have copped a better feel of Kellan when he hugged me
Lori:  You should have, You should have grabbed a nice hand full of that adorable-
Jenny:  LORI!  *Sigh's* You're right, I should have *Sigh's* OMG We just met Kellan and Griffin.
Jenny/Lori *Launch themselves at each other again hugging and jumping up and down giggling*
Lori: Come on honey, we've got some phone calls to make, and we've got to get this interview down so we can share it with the world
Jenny:  *doing the happy dance* I just met Kellan Kyle!  *Looks at Lori and starts giggling*
Jenny/Lori *Link arms and dance their way out of the hotel*

Effortless (Thoughtless #2) Review

Effortless by S.C. Stephens is the second book in the Thoughtless series and is by far my favorite of the two because of the love Kellan and Kiera have for each other.  If you haven't read Thoughtless you really should read it first otherwise you may be a little lost at points in the book!


Book description.....
A lot can happen in a year. You grow, you change, you learn from your mistakes. And Kiera had made a lot of mistakes to learn from. But she had learned, and she was determined to never cause a man pain again, especially the amazing man who currently held her heart. But life offers new challenges for every relationship, and when Kiera’s love is put to the ultimate test, will it come out the other side unscathed? Love is easy…trust is hard.

The D-Bags are back!!!!!!!!

Picking up where we left off in Thoughtless....Kellan and Kiera's relationship continues to grow and they continue to share this passionate love for one another.

His eyes rested on mine and my breath caught at the love I saw in that gaze.  I didn't think I'd ever get used to seeing how much he adored me.

These two had a rough start....first they fell in love while Kiera was still in a relationship with Denny, then they did the whole back and forth thing, and then finally after both had months of misery they reunited.....so it's not like their relationship actually started off on the right foot.  They knew they loved each other and that love ran bone deep but yet they both had some big insecurities in themselves and in each other.

Kellan wants Kiera to lose her insecurities about herself, most especially the ones where she feels like she isn't enough for Kellan

"Someday, I'll get you to feel like the confident woman who was prancing around in her underwear last night, all of the time."  Running his hand back through my hair, he added.  "You are a beautiful, intelligent woman with a boyfriend who adores you.  You have nothing to fear...ever."

She felt like she was constantly judged by people on whether or not she was worthy to belong to Kellan.  It especially didn't help that Kellans "past" continued to throw itself in Kiera's face.

When Matt is able to get the D-Bags a spot on tour with a famous rock group, Kellan doesn't want to take it.  He's happy just playing at Pete's and a few other local bars but most of all he doesn't want to leave Kiera because he doesn't want to be away from her, hurt her, or her hurt him

"I didn't love him more than I love you, Kellan."  Pulling back, I met his eye.  "I love you more.  I love you enough to let you go and live your dream."  I tilted my head and shrugged.  "Don't you see...?  I love you more."

 With the upcoming tour Kellan and Kiera spend as much time as they can together.  He confronts one of his past...umm whatever they were LOL..., they get cell phones to keep in constant contact with each other, they have an interesting introduction to The Hulk....LOL...you'll understand after reading the book...Griffin is all I'm sayin'..., they share a moment during the D-Bags last show at Petes while Kellan sings Kiera her song, and have an....ummmm *cough cough* awesome?...lol yeah that works....time at Matt and Griffin's party on their last night home. 

Saying goodbye is hard for both of them....but it must be said that Kellan has got a way with words and those sweet words make saying goodbye seem almost easier

"This tour is just me being gone for another show...a really long one.  But when it's over, I'm coming home to you, to slip into your warm, inviting be, like I always do..." 

So the D-Bags take off to tour the country and Kiera, Anna, Jenny, and Rachel head to Pete's to load up the boys instruments and take them to Evan's loft.  It's at Evan's loft that Kiera gets her first and second taste of what Kellan has left behind for her and he has left hundreds and hundreds of letters for either someone to give her or for her to find.....again that boy has got a way with words....SIGH....

Life with Kellan on the road starts off okay for Kiera.  She keeps herself busy with finding Kellan's letters & even a picture...wish I could get a look at that..., work, school, friends, study groups, and her talks with Kellan every night.

Then there is one phone call in particular that....ummmm so can't give it away it's just too darn funny but I will say.....Denver Omelet.....O.M.G....seriously I read this part and thought somehow S.C. figured out something my wonderful husband would so freaking do to me....I LOL'd so hard I had tears.

Finally after two months of being apart Kellan and Kiera get to spend Christmas together at her Parents house back in Ohio.  They have a beautiful 5 days together before he has to head back out to the D-Bags and the tour.  BUT....because of a text that Kellan received from a "private" Kiera is now having a few doubts but tries to push them off because she wants to believe in Kellan instead of doubt him and is afraid to be "that" girl. 

Unfortunately here is where the doubts seriously begin and to top it off Kiera is faced with the challenge of how to tell Kellan that Denny is back in Seattle.  First, Rachel gets the D-Bags site up....fans start posting pictures and videos of the guys and Kiera gets a small sight of something that could be taken many different ways and sees that familiar face three times.  Second, Kiera and Anna fly to Boise where the guys have a show and while on the bus with Kellan another band member makes a comment that makes Kiera question Kellan's faithfulness and honesty.  Third, Kellan says he has something he needs to tell her but again avoids it and even receives a few more texts before the girls head back home.  BUT....on a side note.....Our D-BAGS GET SIGNED!!!!!! Congrats boys!  Having to deal with Griffin....who I actually find extremely amusing - just sayin'....as long as you have you SOOOOO deserve it :)

Moving on......Kiera finds some more letters from Kellan, meets a new friend (Cheyanne), has some amazingly hot...ummm...*clears throat* phone conversations ;), and Anna finds out some HUGE news.  Unfortunately because he wasn't able to fly home to celebrate their anniversary Kellan surprises Kiera and he does it while Denny is there.  Things start off real bad....then they go good because he believes her....BUT then they go real bad because he finds something and thinks it's Kiera's and has a bad memory of what his Mother constantly informed him of....so he walks out on her. 

Don't worry though...Kiera has had enough of Kellan hiding from her and decides to confront him about what he's hiding.  They end up working everything out after Kiera has to share Anna's secret and Kellan finally....finally....confesses to Kiera what he has been hiding and again K&K are back to complete bliss. 

I'll leave you with one last quote from Kiera's graduation party at Pete's

"Come on tour with me.  Hell, come to L.A. with me."

I am really hoping that S.C. Stephens will write the third book.  I'm deliriously anxious to find out what happens to our adorable K&K next as well as what happens with the rest of the D-Bags ;)

Effortless by S.C. Stephens is an emotional read.  It shows real struggles that couples face when dealing with the long distance thing and/or extreme trust issues.  I have to say I honestly, as much as I love the two of them together, did not see them where they ended up but have to admit I'm so happy they did.  They finally got their communications issues worked out and found their way back to happiness together. 

Happy Reading!

Thoughtless (#1) Review

Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens was...well...I don't even know how to describe what it was, I'm actually speechless (for once) because to me the story was That Good!  Fair warning...this will be a long one and you'll understand why once you read the book ;)

Kiera Allen  followed her boyfriend Denny, who was the love of her life, to Seattle for a new job.  She was happy and in love.  Denny's dream job unexpectedly took him to Arizona  for weeks and feeling lonely and confused by Denny's lack of attention she turned to her room mate and local rock star Kellan Kyle.  They have a sweet friendship and Kellan takes to looking after Kiera until things change after one night.

Kiera, a young college student reminded me so much of a typical girl who is not entirely sure of herself.  She was sweet, caring, and loving.  She was so in love with her boyfriend, Denny, that being away from him wasn't in her plans so she followed him to Seattle where he was starting as an intern for his "dream job"

"I know what you gave up for me by coming here - your family, your home.  I'm not blind, I know you miss it.  I just want to make sure that this is worth it for you?"  I placed my hand gently on his cheek "Don't.  Don't ever question that.  Of course I miss my family, miss them terribly.  But you are worth it, you're worth anything.  I love you.  I want to be where you are."

Kiera and Denny had a little time to settle into their new life in Seattle until he comes into the bar one day to tell Kiera about heading to Arizona for "a couple of months" to set up a new location for work.  Kiera's not happy about it but understands that he has no choice and has to do it.  So off he goes....

There love for each other was sweet and Denny...well...he was amazing!  BUT...he didn't do it for me because the relationship just seemed too easy, he was almost too sweet and understanding there didn't seem to be any passion between the two of them which I guess is why it's a good thing Kellan Kyle comes along ;)...ummm.... but of course bad for Denny

Kellan took to Kiera almost immediately and helped keep her busy and taken care of while Denny way gone.  He was a great friend and so sweet to Kiera by taking her places, making her laugh, or just hanging out with her so she wasn't alone.  Their friendship was very innocent until a day spent together where it was still innocent but yet intimate

"Don't be.  I'd rather hold a beautiful girl than be all bruised tomorrow." 

Kellan and Kiera had a special relationship.  They grew closer as did their affections towards each other like holding hands or cuddles on the couch.  I may not view it as completely innocent but for the most part it was until one night Denny drops a big one on Kiera and she tells him they're over.  That was when everything between Kellan and Kiera changed and let's just say ....ummm....WOW can I trade places with Kiera!?

"You want to talk about it?"  I paused. "No"  He glanced over at the empty wine bottle on the counter and up again, at the glass I was just finishing.  "You want some tequila?"

 As much as I'd love to share more of that scene I can't it's just too good to give away.

So things change over the course of a couple of weeks.....Denny comes back to Seattle and Kellan starts acting cold towards Kiera and even a little gun shy around Denny (which is understandable considering did kind of betray a guy he totally cares about).  But towards Kiera he is pretty cruel

"Denny leave you again?  I could find you another drinking buddy if you're...lonely?"  he asked wryly before grinning devilishly.  "Maybe Griffin this time?"

Low blow I know but he had his reasons and you'll eventually find them out.  Anyway....after this Kiera tells Kellan he was the biggest mistake of her life and wishes he would go.  So.....he decides he is done, can't do it anymore and decides to leave Seattle

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I've been cold, but I can't stay, Kiera.  I can't watch it anymore.  I need to leave..."  his voice trailed off in a whisper.

Now I'm not much of a coffee drinker...well not at all but let's just say after this I have a new appreciation for it ;)

So Kellan sticks around because he was "very convincingly persuaded" to stay.  Kiera knows she wants him in her life, he clearly wants any part of her he can get, whatever that may be so they start back with their little "friendship"

I got so frustrated with Kiera and yes even Kellan a few times but mostly Kiera because she was just....ugh I can't even say it without spoiling it.... Anyway I wanted to smack her upside the head, shake her, yell at her, and a bunch of other things to get her to wake up already!!!  Some things happen between Kellan and Kiera and they decide their "friendship" can be no more, well she told him numerous times before, but now he agrees lol...Men!  Anyway, KellanVERY heated fight in the middle of Pete's they're both drug in the back by Jenny to sort their problems.  A lot comes out as in A LOT!

"God, I love you, I need you.  Forgive me...stay with me.  Say you need me too...say you want me too.  Please...be mine."  He instantly stopped kissing me and froze, staring at me terrified again, like he finally just realized exactly what he had been saying.

So we learn that Kellan is in love, we find out for how long too (but you're going to have to read it to find out and trust me, you'll smile).  We also find out why Kellan is the way he is and let me warn you it's heartbreaking but it makes you understand why he's that way, not that it's right, but you still get it.  So they end up professing their love for each other but Kiera still has yet to make me happy with what she is actually doing to Denny (her boyfriend) and Kellan.

"I want to be with you the right way - in the open.  I want to walk into Pete's with you on my arm.  I want to kiss you every time I see you, no matter who's looking.  I want to make love to you without fear of someone finding out.  I want to fall asleep with you in my arms every night.  I don't want to feel guilty about something that makes me feel so...whole.  I'm sorry, Kiera, but I'm asking you to choose."

Can't say I don't blame Kellan at this point, he's poured his heart out and even heard her return the sentiment and yet he still feels as though he isn't good enough for her to be with him completely. (poor guy, if I was available you could call me Kiera - ummm...did I just say that out loud?)  So anyway, he tries leaving...yes again, and Kiera tries talking him into "more time" (which is just a joke now, the girl has known for a while now that she doesn't want to be with Denny in that way but she's too scared to commit to that choice)...yes again.  He doesn't fall for it, actually begs her not to ask him because he'll do what she asks.  In the middle of their heartbreaking goodbye Denny (Who was supposed to have been called into work) catches them in the middle of a passionate kiss.  What happens next is sad, especially for Kellan...not that sad but still sad!

FINALLY...finally, Denny finds out what has been going on under his nose...not that he didn't suspect it.  He breaks it off with Kiera and sweetly gives her the unanswered question of why she couldn't leave him and why that seemed to hurt him more

"I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort.  Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that."  He rubbed my cheek again.  "I know how scared you get of the unknown.  To you...I must be kind of a security blanket."

Wow...totally what I figured out almost immediately after seeing the fire and passion between Kiera and Kellan.  Anyway, Denny moves back home to Australia.

Kellan ends up asking Kiera to move out.  He's hurt and needs space, he even asks "for a minute".  Kiera's sister Anna decided to move to Seattle and she gets an apartment for her and Kiera.  Months go by where Kiera is just existing...she's going to school, she's going to work but that's it.  Kellan isn't in her life anymore and she can't seem to get him off her mind, it's like she doesn't even want to.  Anna finally has enough and drags Kiera out of the apartment to "Show her something she needs to see".

Kiera and Kellan end up seeing each other and after what Anna wanted Kiera to see so badly (apparently Kellan had just been existing too).  They talk, finally talk...she doesn't feel the nerves and realizes she knows what she is telling him is from the bottom of her heart

"No.  I just...I just want you.  We're meant to be, Kellan.  We need each other."

FINALLY....Yippee!!

Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens is must read, I personally like the next book Effortless better but in order to understand everything you have to read Thoughless first.  I'm not a fan of how Kellan and Kiera started off but yet even I can't deny they were meant to be...that fire and passion...is like an addiction to watch it all unfold.  These Characters will pull you in so deep that you'll find yourself questioning if you're a part of their actual story or what.  I normally do not emotionally...yes emotionally...connect with Characters like I did with Kiera and Kellan.  My feelings for these characters are boarder line sick...I mean I'm a fan of a fictional characters fan page on facebook because I can't get enough of him lol.

Anyway, definitely pick up Thoughtless you won't be disappointed!

Happy Reading!
