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...

Beautiful disaster -- that's what Abby and Travis are together. They are beautiful, in that they love each other passionately and they complete each other. They are a disaster, because when there is that much passion, it is bound to boil over and cause a mess. Yes, this story can be intense at times (or so you may have heard), but I was not shocked after becoming acquainted with Travis, his personality and his quirks.

I must admit, I was late the this Beautiful series. I actually picked it up after reading Trent's story (Beautiful Oblivion) and I had to know more about Travis and his pigeon. I have to say, I fell in love with Travis and Abby. I cared so deeply for each of them and for their relationship. I cheered and rooted for them, I got angry when either of them slipped up, I was frustrated when other people tried to interfere. I was a mess of emotions and I loved it.
