Nothing Left to Lose by Kirsty Moseley
4.0
Actual rating 3.5
I've come about this book when I was searching for something similar to The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window, which is also by Kirsty Mosely. Nothing Left to Lose have quite a few similarities to The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window. For instance, the smell-his-scent-and-calm-down part, hero being overly protective of the heroine...etc. I like it but it's weird reading it with different characters and of course it does not sound as good as it was in The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window.
The book started out with sixteen year old Annabelle and her boyfriend, Jack queuing to get into a bar. There she bump into Carter, who then kills Jack in front of Annabelle and kidnap her. Chapter one begins from Ashton's, the hired SWAT bodyguard for Anna, POV. Ashton graduated top in his academy and found himself a not-so-prestigious task but he took it anyway as he got to guard the future President's daughter with the hopes that the President would pull some strings and get him a job with the Front Lines after Ashton's done guarding the future President's daughter. So when Ashton finally met Annabelle and she, him - they're instantly attracted to each other.
Honestly, I find it a little ridiculous. How did the paranoid, bitchy Anna gives in almost immediately to Ashton's charm. It makes me wonder the previous near guards she had. Did they just ignore her or never tried to care for her at all? I guess not since Ashton somehow got through her barrier with just one day with her.
The story is a little too long and unnecessary. I keep waiting for Carter to pop up, which didn't happen until the end of the story. It was still a good story I guess...I like protective heroes such as Ashton, it's just that the story just began too fast, took too long to end and there are strings left untied in the story. I was waiting for Anna to tell her parents everything or maybe get a therapist, Ashton can't really be the all-things cure...can he? And also Anna's sketch of her daughter, which I thought was an indication that she will have a daughter with Ashton.
I hope Nate's story (*second book*) would be better.

He even got to have sex with her after only three days with her.The story is a little too long and unnecessary. I keep waiting for Carter to pop up, which didn't happen until the end of the story.

To my surprise, she got son and the sketch was never mentioned again.I hope Nate's story (*second book*) would be better.
