Nothing left to lose by Kristy Moseley

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
