“That’s what you get when your relationship starts by betraying someone – a never-ending well of doubt. Loving someone is easy but trusting them is the hard part, especially when the relationship is born out of unfaithfulness. Unfortunately, her self-esteem issues don’t help the equation and she struggles with the idea of trusting Kellan not to be tempted by all the women throwing themselves at him. She does not want to be that person who cheated on her boyfriend anymore, she wants to redeem herself by trusting Kellan to remain faithful to her and proving to him, as well as to herself, that she has grown as a person. We see her taking all her past mistakes on-board and truly trying to learn from them. I felt that Kiera had the most issues to overcome in this book.

They are both still carrying the burden and guilt of betraying Denny and it cannot but spill into their relationship. Watching that sort of betrayal, being a part of it … soured you.” We both watched each other sleep with other people, all the while being in love with one another. We both watched each other lie to a loved one. They are both equally scared of the other straying and afraid that the past will repeat itself somehow. Kiera and Kellan are not only faced with long periods of separation, but they are also forced to confront the one thing that their young relationship does not have enough of – trust. The next obstacle in their life as a couple comes when the D-Bags are asked to go on a six-month tour around the country.

Kiera and Kellan’s relationship is in full bloom in this book and they are taking it one day at a time, being able to embrace their feelings for each other and enjoying not having to hide them from anyone. This book for me was everything I expected it to be after reading Thoughtless, and then so much more.
