My Rating 5 Of 5 Stars
Synopsis
The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.
Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.
Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.
Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red.
As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.
In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.

My 5 Review
Wow, What Can I say Jamie had me falling in love with the Maddox Boys in BD....... and I LOVED Travis, I did not think anyone of the boys could top him.... I thought wrong Trent Maddox is AMAZING, sweet, sexy, and LOVES hard when he loves....
I devoured this book in 24 hrs. There is just something about Jamie's writing and her stories that pulls you in from the start. I had no choice but to keep reading until I got to the very end.
This is one of those stories where you need to go into it not knowing any spoilers for sure, otherwise it could ruin the full story and effect of it all on you.
“Have you ever wanted something that you knew you shouldn’t have? That it was wrong on every level, but you knew you needed it?”
Trent tattooed, sweet, I loved him, I loved how he loved hard.... I loved how he wormed his way right into Cami's life even though she tried to fight him.... they became friends.... Best friends....
"I've had a lifetime of wrong. You're the only thing that's right."
Cami, She was so independent. She was a heroine I truly loved. She knew the minute that her and Trent had become friends she would be in trouble. After all every knows that the Maddox boys scream trouble. Women love them, and Men dream of being like them. Where ever you see a Maddox you see woman wanting to be on their arm.
“I’ll help you get lost any time, Sunshine. The only deal is you have to promise to come back. I never want to lose you again.”
Watching the friendship between Trent and Cami was awesome, sweet, and I just loved every minute of it. I was happy to see also that their relationship was a slow build and it was not instant love.
I loved getting pieces of Travis and Abby in this book as well as some new characters that I fell in love with also. I can not wait to see what comes next in this series.
There is alot more to this story, but honestly I do not want to spoil any of it for anyone... So I will leave you with this ....

UGLY LOVE by Colleen Hoover — on sale 8/5/14When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn’t think it’s love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.
Don’t expect a future.
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.
Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

ONE MORE CHANCE by Abbi Glines — on sale 9/2/14 She was it. His one. His only. Then he made the mistake of letting her go.
After fighting his way into Harlow Manning’s heart—and revealing a side of himself no one had ever seen before—Grant Carter destroyed his own heart by giving in to his greatest fears and doubts. Months later, he’s stuck in a miserable routine. Work relentlessly. Beg his best friend Rush for news about Harlow. Avoid all other friends. Leave nightly voicemails for Harlow, pleading with her to come back to Rosemary Beach. Fall asleep alone. Repeat.
Miles away, on her brother’s Texas ranch, Harlow can’t bring herself to listen to Grant’s voicemails. Though she wants to be with him, and knows he regrets letting her go, she doesn’t know if she can trust him. When he discovered the truth behind her sheltered upbringing, it shattered their relationship, but the secret she carries now has far greater consequences. Can she risk giving Grant one more chance, or will the gamble ultimately destroy her?

Book Review - Walking Disaster (Beautiful, #2) by Jamie McGuire

My rating: 5 of 5 starsI was really looking forward to this Book , I so wanted to see Travis’ POV on the whole thing. I was a little disappointed that there was not more to Travis side of things . I had re-read Beautiful Disaster before reading this one , and I felt like I was just reading the same book again but from Travis’ POV , most of it was the same .
Don’t get me wrong I am VERY happy that we got some more of Travis , I just wish it had been a LITTLE BIT More , with more things we did not read about in Beautiful Disaster.
"I know you deserve better than me. You think I don't know that? But if there was any woman made for me...it's you. I'll do whatever I have to do, Pidge. Do you hear me? I'll do anything."
One of the best things about this book was we got to see Travis when he was younger and when he had to say goodbye to his mom. That was great to be able to understand more of why Travis felt and acted like he did.
"One of these days you're going to fall in love, son. Don't settle for just anyone. Choose the girl that doesn't come easy; the one you have to fight for, and then never stop fighting. Never"—she took a deep breath—"stop fighting for what you want. And never"—her eyebrows pulled in—"forget that Mommy loves you. Even if you can't see me." A tear fell down her cheek. "I will always, always love you."
I loved how we got to get to know his Brother’s and dad a little bit more in this book as well .
Dad laughed once and nodded. “And your young lady?”
I shrugged. “She’s not exactly mine, Dad”
Dad winked. “Yet?”
Book Blurb:
Finally, the highly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster. Can you love someone too much?
Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.
In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.
I loved Getting more Travis , and I loved the epilogue, I can not wait to see more of Travis’ Brothers in upcoming books
“I wouldn’t let anything happen to you Pigeon”
