We can tell you all the reasons why Travis is awesome, but you really need to the book to find that out. HE is amazingly sexy and so damn adorable when he messes up that it's so hard to be mad at him. So here is the visual we have as our man Travis....
The new 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.
So I believe this is my second time reading Beautiful Disaster and I'm pretty sure I can read it again right now, that's how good it is. It's definitely one of those books you can't put down and when you're done, you want to start at the beginning again. Sadly there will not be a sequel to BD, and though I am sad about that, I can completely understand. Sometimes it is better to leave it on HEA note, then try and force more. Good news is Jamie is publishing Travis' POV of BD titled Walking Disaster, I so can't wait till next year to get my hand on that. You can preorder it HERE
So to get to the story Abby Abernathy has a past, a past that she finally got away from...that is until she finds herself at an underground fighting circle, toe to toe with the infamous Mad-Dog Maddox.

So I love Jamie McGuire! I have read all her books, but Beautiful Disaster is my favorite.
Abby Abernathy is a girl that wants to leave her past behind, so she attends collage away from home with her best friend America. America and her boyfriend Sheply take Abby to an underground fight. Shep's cousin Travis is one of the fighters. This is Abby's first run in with him.
The next week at school, while at lunch Travis talks to Abby, who refuses to fall to his charm and good looks , like all the other girls in school. Travis Maddox is a fighter, a ladies man, and pretty smart guy. He is also full of himself. He see's Abby and is intrigued at her indifference to him.
They become friends, and when the boiler breaks at the dorm she and America stay with Travis and Sheply. This puts Abby and Travis sharing a room together. You can totally see that Travis likes Abby the way he gets Jealous, and wants her to himself. They both deny their feelings. When a bet is made and Abby stays with Travis for a month, how close will they get? What happens when Abby tries to date while living there? Will the beautiful disaster of their relationship , ruin them? Or through all the odds will they come out a sure thing?
Read this book! I have 4 times! I love Travis and Abby. Under Travis' tough exterior is a very insecure guy, who Jamie makes us all fall in love with!
