Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1) By S.C Stephens

Synopsis:

 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 that 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.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wasn't wild about most of this book. I think it was mostly because it was about a stupid girl that thought she could cheat on her longtime boyfriend with his bestfriend/their roommate. I did like that this book made it quite clear that you can't have it both ways and that cheating never works out for anyone. Honestly, her thinking and actions really got on my nerves.

I found the relationship between Denny and Kiera kind of boring and I was glad when they broke up. When Denny left, I really liked the 'friendship' that Kellan and Kiera formed. I really thought it was cute. and she hooked up with Kellan, even if they were both kind of drunk. When Denny showed up the next day, it took everything for me to not scream that he was ruining their budding relationship. But they never really stopped their affair. They did it right under Dennys nose. That irked me. Grow some balls and tell the guy! But that would defeat the purpose of the book, I guess.

It felt like this book went on forever and not in a good way. It was awful reading about how awful Kellan was being to Kiera. I kept waiting for Denny to catch them. It drove me a little crazy that they kept getting away with it. They had sex in the room across from his for god sake!

It was obvious after a while that Denny knew and I think he was waiting to trick or catch them. When he finally caught them, I was thrilled. They had gotten away with it for far too long. It progressed to the point that they both admitted to being in love with each other.

I have to say, the book got really good for me once they were found out. I didn't expect Denny to lose his shit on Kellan though. That was a shocker. When Kiera came to in the hospital, I was slightly confused.

My heart did break a little when Denny said it was 100% over and told her he was leaving to go back to Australia. They got to have a good talk and helped her realize her problems in their relationship. What really broke my heart was when Kellan told her it was over as well. I'm not heartless, she got dumped by the man she loved. I mean, she should have known it would happen. She kept toying with his emotions. She couldn't fully commit to being with him. Once she finally did, it was too late.

I think her sister moving to Seattle to live with her was so sweet. Her life post accident and love triangle was just sad. She was just a brokenhearted girl.

When her sister, Anna, dragged her to see Kellans band play, you could see just how much he was hurting and it was sweet. Their reunion was sweet.

While there were good parts in this book, there were more annoying parts. It was hard for me to get through this book. What kept me going was the hope they would get found out and their relationship could really start.

Since this book is a series, I will read the next book. I pray there is no more cheating involved.

I got the E-book on Kobo.com for $3.99 CND. It's a steal, really.
