Every story has two sides, and in this new book, the epic love story between Kiera and Kellan is shown through his eyes.
All Kellan Kyle needs is his guitar, and some clean sheets of paper. Growing up in a house that was far from a home, he learned a hard lesson: You're worthless. Now his life is comfortably filled with passionate music, loyal band mates, and fast women... ...more

OHHHHH..... MY.... GOD !!!!!!
This is Kellan's POV of Thoughtless!!!!
BLURB: The only place Kellan Kyle has ever felt at home is onstage. Gripping his guitar in a darkened bar, he can forget his painful past. These days his life revolves around three things: music, his bandmates, and hot hookups. Until one woman changes everything…
Kiera is the kind of girl Kellan has no business wanting-smart, sweet, and dating his best friend. Certain he could never be worthy of her love, he hides his growing a ...more

S C Stephens hit the jackpot with this one! Thoughtful is the best book from a male POV I've read. It was even better then Thoughtless! Unbelievable!
One day later, and I'm still recovering from the total mindfuck that Thoughtful was. I had forgotten just how frustrating the Kellan-Kiera-Denny love triangle actually was, and it left me completely drained. But I loved every second of it! Kellan Kyle is worth everything! This is S C Stephens at her best. Thoughtful was everything I ever could have ...more
5 Stars for Kellan & Kiera.
★★★★★
My Casting:
Kellan
Kiera
I don't even know how to review this book. Kellen Kyle will always be my number one and that's pretty much the beginning and the end!!
“I have a life without you. You’re not my entire world. You’re just the part I loved the most…”
Usually, I just do not have the patience for these alternate POV books. I can't do re-reads and I feel like authors just copy and paste these books, change some of the inner monologues and whack it on Amazon ...more
Just when you thought you couldn't love him more, S.C. Stephens makes you fall in love with Kellan Kyle all over again. In typical fashion, S.C. draws you in, makes you feel like you are part of the story, and then doesn't let you go until the very last page. Emotional, addictive, and a story you'll come back to time and again. Superb!

{BR with Mel and Sharon}
She was my greatest pain, and my only salvation. She was the only one who could heal this hole in my heart, a hole she'd torn open.
This was a really hard read for me. I know that I must be just a touch sadistic to have read the series FOUR times, but Kellan truly is my #1 and he's worth the torture. When I finished reading "Reckless" two years ago, I sent an email to S.C. Stephens, just gushing over the book and BEGGING her to write "Thoughtless" over ...more

I can’t remember the last time I read something that was purely the alternate POV of the same book…maybe it was Walking Disaster?

I don’t think there has been or ever will be another rocker that owns my heart like Kellan Kyle. I still remember all the things I felt while reading Thoughtless. Whether you love or hate it, you have to give credit when I book completely owns you. Thoughtless completely owned me, so while I was terrified to start this one knowing what was going to happen I am glad I did!

I will not dwell on explaining this book's story, because I don’t believe there’s many readers who don’t know Kellan’s and Kiera story. Even the people who didn’t read the books.
Basically, girl moves to another city with boyfriend, they going to live with boyfriend’s friend, boyfriend finds a job in another city, girl and friend fall in love, huge mess happens. (In a very short way, it’s basically it).

This was my very first audiobook and let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it sounds and the experience is certainly different.
Sure, listening to an audiobook is very practical, but if you’re more visually oriented person like me, it takes some time to adjust. I didn’t know what to do with my hands and my eyes at first, however stupid that sounds.
Another problem was that sometimes I couldn’t focus, my thoughts often wandered off somewhere or the narrator’s voice lulled to sleep.

I can't tell you how happy I was when I heard that this book was going to be written. I Loved The Thoughtless Series and I loved Kellan and Kiera. Thoughtless was a tough book because of the cheating content but the growth of the characters through the entire series was spectacular. While there are many Kiera haters, I was not one of them, she was young and in a situation that was hard to navigate but in the end, all was wonderful.

Since this is essentially the same story as Thoughtless but from Kellan's POV, I won't be doing a regular review on the story. I'll just be posting my views on our all time favorite rocker!
(Love that little smirk!)
I knew this book would be difficult but I really had no idea how bad it would be! At moments I wanted to hug Kellan and at the same time be the fourth person to smack his face!
Kellan just feels so deeply and I think it's because he's shut down his feelings for so long. When he starts ...more

"For a minute, I could pretend that I meant everything to her, because she was certainly starting to mean everything to me."
Y'all know I'm a self-proclaimed angst-whore but if there's any book I've read that managed to cause a massive explosion of blood vessels and induce Kindle-throwing outburst, Thoughtless is THE ONE. Everytime I think about that book and the most indecisive heroine that is Keira, the amount of RAGE I feel is enough to cause me stomach ulcers. But alas there's K ...more

I'm glad I had this book on audio because if I were to read it, I would have probably DNFed. I am so mad I gave this one a go, I wish I hadn't and could still remember the story the way it was when reading Thoughtless.
It wasn't bad but I somehow didn't enjoy it. Kellan turned out to be too whiny, Kiera was her indecisive mean-self (hurting one and stringing the other along) and I only felt sorry for Danny. One particular thing at the end bothered me too much this time. (view sp ...more

Do we all remember what happened in #Thoughtless? When Kiera told us her story??
Now it's Kellan's turn. And I just know that it's going to be sooo amazing. And so sad and moving and frustrating and just beautiful.
To prepare for #Thoughtful, I re-read the whole series. I just couldn't help myself. Kellan is my all-time-favorite Book Boyfriend!! ♥ But now I'm not so sure if the re-reading was wrong - it might've been better to go at THOUGHTFUL with a bit distance to the whole story - it's not like ...more

‘I would never be the same after this. We would never be the same after this.’
We’ll start by saying if you haven’t already done so; we strongly suggest reading Thoughtless before reading this book. Although set in the same timeframe, reading Thoughtful will allow you to experience the shift in this story told from Kellan’s perspective. And secondly……Arrrrggghhh this book! Our hearts! We are exhausted! Emotionally wrung out!

I am not afraid to admit that the Thoughtless Series is my "go to" read when I'm in a funk! There is no better, for me, than Kellen Kyle when it comes to book BF's. He was my first literary crush and to have 300 some pages of his most inner thoughts and feelings just staggered me.

If I thought Thoughtless was angst overload, this book was worse! My poor heart hurt for KK but I think this book didnt do him justice. He became needy/clingy/obsessed with Kiera and his thoughts got repetitive.
I was gonna give 2 stars but then I realised not many books can give me the feels, whether they made me smile/uncomfortable/throw my tablet against the wall. So even though I took countless breaks I was in the mood for a bit of torture.

So far, we have gotten Kellan's explanation (through Kiera's POV) as to why his lifestyle was filled with meaningless sex, music, and more meaningless sex.
