Can you love someone too much?
Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.
In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.

The book starts out with the prologue about what happen to Travis's mom and those special last words that help mold Travis into who he is today, Quote from his mom in the book "One of these days you're going to fall in love, son. Don’t settle for just anyone. Choose the girl that doesn't come easy, the one you have to fight for, and never stop fighting. Never." Wow! Those are some are some powerful words to say to a little kid but so meaning fun, it truly shows how much Travis mom cares about him. Jaime McGuire makes you feel all the emotion that the characters are feeling. I feel like Travis character in the book can be a bit more relate able when it comes to his emotions and feeling because when he’s passionate about something it shows. But i also have a better understanding on why Travis act and does the things he does because he always remembers what his mom has told him. On another note he can be a loose cannon. I'm in love with Travis point of view, because in beautiful disaster we get the impression he’s this bad boy that all about one thing and one thing only if you know what I mean ;). But it turns out that that's not the case and that he is a very loyal and caring guy and is a family man sort of. Travis is immediately intrigued by Abby because she really doesn't give him the time of day. Nobody has done that to Travis Maddox someone that's use to getting what he wants and is use to all these groupies. Immediately Travis and Abby become best friends because Travis Sees himself in Abby in away. Nobody really understands what make Abby so different beside she’s not sleeping with him (yet). The empowering feelings he grows to have to have for Abby makes people like me wish we had somebody like Travis Maddox. Through so many Fights and argument and Travis repeatedly telling himself he's no good for Abby, I'm holding the book like HELLO yes you are, you're exactly what she needs. (If only they could hear me lol). Travis's moms word have been replaying in his head and boy did he have to fight to keep Abby, literally too. Jaime McGuire at the end gives us an epilogue into the future of the Maddox's 11 years to be exact. They both have graduated Travis works for the FBI and Abby is a school teacher. They have two kids one little girl who is exactly like Travis and one little boy who is exactly like Abby. The book ended the way I wanted it to because the was beautiful Disaster ended made you want so much more I felt like Jaime McGuire brought that into walking disaster.
