BOOK REVIEW- SOMETHING TO LOSE



Camden Piotrowski throws herself a bubblebath pity party when she finds her boyfriend in the arms of another woman.  Suddenly her door is broken down by a really hot guy, who thinks he's rescuing her.  Seth Vendetti has lost so much because of his obsession of bringing a certain criminal to justice.  He has let so much go to walk this dangerous path alone; but since meeting Camden; he might just have found something he's not willing to lose.  

Now I know that everyone enjoys a story when it has both MC's POV's in it and I know sometimes it can be irritating.  I'm glad to say this was NOT the case in this story. I didn't find it distracting at all. There was a good balance of the sharing of the story between the two, not a lot of detail by detail repeating.  

Camden and Seth really did have an unorthodox  first meeting and quite the instant attraction too.  I liked them both and Camden had quite the sense of humor and way of looking at things.  In the beginning when she would have a naughty thought or began to be overwhelmed by her attraction to Seth she had a favorite phrase. "I'm in so much trouble"/I am in serious trouble here"  And it fit really well, you got what she was thinking.  At first I was a bit concerned when it showed it several more times; I was hoping that it wasn't going to be over-used.  Why would I care?  Because sometimes that can distract me from the story. Whew!  No worries, it wasn't over-used. 
 One of the things that Camden laments is that she keeps trusting the wrong people and then goes on to prove it in quite a few friendships but she also shows good judgment with some pretty reliable people in her life as well.  


Seth has a secret that he's hiding from Camden and the author does a pretty good job of stringing the reader along.  The secret comes out at one of the worst possible moments of course, and when you think about it, that's what happens often in real life.  Overall, I liked the story.  It had family, friends, humor, romance and fighting against crime.
