I was walking around Walmart when I found Beautiful Disaster. What caught my attention was the cover and the description of the book. Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. She also has a past she doesn't ever want to talk about or go back to. When she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One Night Stand, Travis Maddox. He is dripping sex appeal and temptation, he's lean, cut, and covered in tattoos. What else could you possibly ask for? Travis comes from a all boy family. As a child he lost his mother, which probably has something to do with the whole Walking One Night Stand status he has. Travis spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days on campus. He is deeply intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, so much that he's willing to risk his current lifestyle. Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, both are in for a tug of war of the heart. I had never heard of the author, Jaime McGuire but I'm glad I found her book. Her first pages drew me in, I'll be honest here Travis is a alpha male character but he does however have his soft side. It all comes with the territory of his past, the same goes for Abby (except she's not an alpha male lol). Niether one of them has had a fairytale childhood and you see it in both books Beautiful Disaster is the book based on Abby's POV, and it serves as the backbone of the series. Then in Walking Disaster you get Travis' POV, which definetly adds more to it and it becomes a window into his soul, because you get to read his thoughts and feelings. I would recommend these books if you're looking for something new to read that has a bit of edge to it along with romance and some catchy names for the main characters!
"If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever." A very well learned lesson in Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster.
