Review ‘Nothing to Lose’ by Darlene Fredette

Dwindling finances has Jesse Robinson running out of
options. With a past filled with failures, she longs for a new beginning.
Applying for a job she isn’t qualified for may be another crazy mistake, but at
this point Jesse has nothing to lose.

Juggling two jobs, Travis Cooper has absolutely no time
for a relationship and isn’t looking for one. But when his mother hires an
unqualified baker, he has more to worry about than three-tiered wedding cakes.
Like whether to break his own no-dating-employees rule and make a little room
in his life for love.

‘Nothing To Lose’ is the perfect example of a short novel
that makes you feel good. Jessie is desperately looking for a new job since she
has to pay her rent soon and doesn’t have any money to spend. So when Jessie
sees a job opening for a new baker at a small bakery, she decides to apply for
the job. But Jessie isn’t a baker and she doesn’t have any experience in baking
whatsoever. But Jessie does have experience in working her but off, and she
will do anything to get the job.

‘Nothing To Lose’ was a fun read. The writing is nice,
but nothing fancy and the story definitely felt kind of rushed to me. Because
the story is so short, it really felt like the two main characters Jesse and Travis
met and had a relationship before you know it. But it was fun to read about
Jessie and Travis. And I especially love stories involving bakeries. And the
bakery in this book, sure feels like a nice, cozy and tasty bakery.

Overall everything in ‘Nothing To Lose’ was a little too cliché
for my taste. But I enjoyed reading this book. It really was a perfect Sunday
afternoon read.

An avid reader since childhood, Darlene loved to put a
pencil to paper and plot out stories of her own. Her writing is a combination
of contemporary romance with chick lit flare, and a main focus as a plot-driven
page-turner. When Darlene isn’t writing, editing, or reading she enjoys
spending time with her husband, daughter, and Yellow Lab.
