Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Oblivion (Maddox Brothers, #1)

by Jamie McGuire

The Beautiful 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 her 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 parlour 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 instalment of The Maddox Brothers series, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.

This is my first Jamie McGuire book and I must say, she has given me some really solid book boyfriends here with the Maddox boys. I really did fall in love with Trent. He was unpredictable, in a good way, and he made me swoon, on several occasions. This book had a lot of good stuff -- funny stuff, sad stuff, hot stuff, cute stuff -- lots of stuff, and it was pretty much all really good. I inhaled this book and the ending, I have no idea where that came from. Cami & Trent forever!
