Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1)

by Jamie McGuire

Suffering from Fifty Shades withdrawal symptoms? Then meet Travis...

GOOD GIRL. Abby Abernathy doesn't drink or swear and she works hard. Abby believes she has created enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college, her dreams of a new beginning are quickly challenged by the university's walking one-night stand.

BAD BOY. Travis Maddox, handsome, built, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs - and wants - to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight club, and his days as the notorious college Lothario.

A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN...
Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain celibate for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis' apartment for the same amount of time.

OR THE START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL?
Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match. Or that this is the start of an obsessive, intense relationship that will lead them both into unimaginable territory...

This is a re-read for me. But, just the same as the first two times I read this book, McGuire captured me instantly. She created these characters full of beautiful flaws, and their romance was full of burning passion. I loved Abby’s POV. I saw a lot of conflicting emotions in her, but I loved watching how she battle those beautiful, disastrous demons so she could find the love she was meant to have. And Travis Maddox. Oh Lawd, don’t get me started on him! He was so beautifully chiseled and his pain and trust issues really popped for me, making me want to comfort him! So, it’s safe to say, I give this novel a fully charged, high flying 5 star recommendation. You won’t be sorry you picked this one up for sure!
