Annabelle Spencer’s life is every girl’s dream. She has wonderful parents, great friends, and of course the perfect boyfriend, Jack Roberts. That all changes on her sixteenth birthday when her life comes crashing down around her. Her dream night turns into a nightmare when Jack is murdered right in front of her, and she’s kidnapped by his murderer, Carter Thomas, a big time drug and arms dealer.
After ten months of being with Carter, she’s found, but the experience has totally changed her. She’s no longer the happy-go-lucky girl that everyone used to know and love; she’s now cold, hard and suffers from night terrors. It appears that Carter broke not only her body, but her spirit too. A shadow of her former self, her slogan for life is now: ‘If you don’t care about anything, then you have nothing to lose’.
Carter is currently serving time for the murder of Jack, a conviction that Anna helped secure. But his retrial is coming up because some key evidence appears to have been tampered with. Unbeknown to Anna, death threats are being received by her father, the Senator. It appears that Carter is still interested in Anna and will stop at nothing to get her back.
Ashton Taylor is brought in to protect her. He’s a newly qualified SWAT agent, a bright spark, the agency’s new golden boy. He is assigned undercover, posing as her boyfriend. His job is to help her through college and keep her safe until the end of the trial in eight months’ time.
For three years she has been the broken, damaged girl, refusing to feel emotion or pain, but can Ashton help her rebuild her life and finally deal with the grief of losing her childhood sweetheart? Will he be the one to make her see that life is, in fact, worth living and that not all men will hurt her?
All the while, the shadow of the trial looms over the both of them, taunting them, reminding them that it isn’t over yet. After all, Carter Thomas will stop at nothing to be reunited with his ‘Princess’.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Shocking acts of violence committed around her 16th birthday have left college student Annabelle Spencer—the daughter of the man destined to be the next president of the United States—broken, enraged, and incapable of intimacy or trust. Nothing Left to Lose tracks the complicated relationship between “Anna” and her new bodyguard, Ashton, a recent graduate of the SWAT team academy who sees his unusual assignment as a ticket to his dream job. Author Kirsty Moseley doesn’t shy away from exploring the nightmarish experiences that have shattered Anna’s psyche, but her hard-edged romance ultimately offers hope that love really can conquer all.
Customer Reviews
Fantastisk bog!!
Denne bog er absolut fantastisk. Jeg er så glad for, at jeg begyndte at læse den. Den fangede mig fra start til slut, og jeg vil uden tvivl læse den igen på et tidspunkt. Det er sådan en bog, der kan få dig til at grine, græde og næsten skrige af frustration. Den er helt sikkert værd at læse også selvom, den er så lang. Der er ikke et kapitel, man ønsker bare skal overstås - hver eneste kapitel er spændende, og forfatteren har helt klart forstået at fange læseren til det sidste.
Fed bog
Jeg elskede bogen. Den havde dog en tendens til at trække lidt i langdrag.
Disappointed for the missing parts but loved it anyway.
I read this twice on wattpad before I purchased this one.
There are thing I was a little disappointed with that wasn't in the published book! Like the small things, like the time when Anna shows her gun target paper thing and Ashton's to Anna's dad, or about the bit we're Ashton decides to get a tattoo, or in the end where Anna falls pregnant while she sends Ashton away and miscarriages because of Carter again when the fight breaks lose and we she finally is in labour in the epilogue that it was a girl and not a boy and lastly the bit where Nate comes in and is all protective of her and meets Rosie for the first time.
I'm disappointed that those bits aren't there, and puts it a little off because those were some of the things I loved about the book before it got published. But anyway, I still love it. It's a great story!
Ciao!
