Nothing left to lose
By Kristy Moseley
I gave this book 4 Stars
Nothing left to lose is a story about a young girl who has
her life taken from her, no not in death but in what one might call “the
ultimate sacrifice”. Annabelle Spencer was a vibrant young lady, about to
become a woman, and all she wanted for her birthday was to spend it with the
love of her life, her Jack. Jack promised Anna she could have anything that she
wanted for her birthday, she wanted to be with him, to just enjoy life, so a
club and then a hotel were her choices; she would finally take their relationship
to the next level and have the night of her life. What happened next was
something no 16 year old should ever have to endure.
In walks Carter Thomas the notorious drug dealer, weapons
dealer, the merciless killer. He was everything that she hated. On her 16th
birthday Anna watched as her boyfriend was murdered right in front of her and
then for 10 months she tried to survive at the hand of his killer. Now fast
forward 3 years later, her father is now running to become President and Carter
is about to have a retrial in Jack’s murder case, Annabelle is vulnerable and
scared and she needs protection. In walks Bad boy Ashton Taylor, newly
graduated from SWAT with having high hopes of where he will be placed; but that
all comes to a screeching halt when he is assigned to Annabelle Spencer,
Senator Spencer’s 19 year old daughter who has been through hell and high water
over the last 10 months, she has been battered and bruised, and scarred for
life….. But Ashton wasn't down for babysitting; he did however take the job
because his commanding officer advised him it would be good for him, after this
assignment he could be place where ever he wanted. What he didn't except was the
attraction that he felt towards this broken girl, she was the most beautiful
girl he had ever seen in his life, maybe she could tame the player in him.
Good friends, great trips…….. But months of hiding in the
shadows and staying hidden all changes when the ultimate bomb drops…. How will
Annabelle ever survive this crisis, will she be able to move forward? Will she
get her happily ever after?? Will she ever tell Ashton that she has fallen in
love with him?
I was so engrossed with this book from the very beginning my
attention was peaked with the tragedy that Anna endured, not just by being
slave to Cater for so many months, but watching her boyfriend die right before
her eyes, carrying that guilt all that time, thinking that he died because of
her. I did waver in the middle of the book, a tad bit of information over load,
but by the ending chapters I was sitting on the edge of my seat….. Would things
work out for Anna and Ashton, would her trust issues put a halt to what we all
hoped would become of them in the end.
I’m guessing you’ll have to read to find out…. Can’t wait
for Nate’s story J
