BAD BOYS of Romance Blog Hop

BAD BOYS of Romance Blog Hop

herding cats & burning soup

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER by Jaime McGuire
 
SYNOPSIS:
 INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE.

Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but 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, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, 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, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
 
Beautiful Disaster Review

Beautiful Disaster

5 stars
Beautiful Disaster is Definitely a Beautiful Disaster!!

... Abby Abernathy is starting Fresh, where no one (except her BFF America) knows who or whats in her past. She wants everyone to think she is sweet and innocent. Then Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox comes crashing into her life.
Travis is the Campus hot shot, fighting, Walking One night Stand, you has all the girls giggling & willing to drop their panties for a chance with him. Travis has his own demons he's hiding from and the last thing he wants or expects is to fall for a Girl.

The story is well written and flows well. The relationship between Abby & Travis is very intense & at time Volatile. You find yourself wanting them to get on the same page & just when you think they are Something seems to happen (Travis is really good at pissing you off).
The secondary characters are for the most part a nice calming relationship compared to the intensity of Abby & Travis.
I don't think this book is for the younger audience.

I definitely recommend reading this book. I have heard that you either love it or hate it, and I am in the LOVE IT Camp!

  1. A lot of others have commented that Beautiful Disaster is a great read. I haven't read it yet, but Travis sounds like the kinda bad boy you love to hate. I really enjoy anti-heroes or completely villains. I like my bad boys evil and sinister ;)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  2. Mmmm… bad boys. Excuse me while I salivate. To pick just one bad boy is so very hard, but I will try! I enjoy Christian Grey (who wouldn't? Am I right, ladies?). His compulsive need to control is scary and hot all at the same time. Another bad boy who has me slobbering all over myself is Travis from "Beautiful Disaster!" A man who makes a living by punching the shit out of another man!?!?! Hold me back! Thanks for the giveaway! It's always a pleasure for me to participate in these, especially when the topic is so utterly delicious.
