Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cA Maddox boy will take you all the way to the edge, but if you go with him, he\u2019ll follow you anywhere.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHe will love you with everything he has for as long as you let him.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am a mad fan of anything featuring Travis Maddox , and although I was a little apprehensive about reading this \u2013 not wanting it to ruin the utter, utter perfection of Beautiful Disaster<\/a> \u2013 it turns out I\u2019m just way to obsessed with my #1 bad boy to stay away.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t read Beautiful Disaster<\/i>, this is going to be a little spoilery, so I calmly suggest that you turn away from this review, put down whatever book you are reading now, go and buy it and start immediately!!<\/p>\n

This book picks up at the scene where Abby proposes to Travis, and not only do we get the absolute bonus of having dual POV (WIN!), but we also get to see a little further into Abby\u2019s thought processes and I’ve gotta say, I was pissed with her… AGAIN!

<\/span>Spoiler <\/div>
I\u2019m really disappointed that THAT was the reason why she proposed, and my heart broke for poor Travis that that was what she was thinking, and she initially wasn’t fully committed. Although she (almost fully) redeemed herself later on, I\u2019m yet again disappointed with Abby and her stupid lies, and the fact that she is still keeping things from Travis.<\/div><\/div>\n

Of course Travis is absolute perfection. He is so crazy in love with his Pidge, and so happy and excited to be marrying her. You can feel his devotion to her and his passion for her, and he just proves once again what makes him so incredibly special. I read most of the novella with a huge grin on my face just soaking up his joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy God, that woman was fucking sexy. She didn\u2019t even have to try, and all I wanted was to be all up in her business. Now that we were engaged that didn\u2019t sound like such a bastard thing to think.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m probably not going to make sense for the next six months while I try to process the fact that I\u2019ve gotten everything I\u2019ve ever wanted.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taking us beyond the end of Beautiful Disaster<\/i>, we get to see a little bit into the future, and even though it was brief, I loved the glimpse we got of Travis and Abby living their lives together still madly in love and blissfully happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTravis Maddox loved me in a way most people dreamed about.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Featuring many beautifully swoony moments, an Elvis impersonator, one hot wedding night, a tear-inducing letter and one scary as all hell stripper, despite my early annoyance, I thought this was a great finish to Travis and Abby\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to know that whatever love is, this has got to be it. We were best friends first, and we tried not to fall in love, and we did anyway. If you\u2019re not with me, it\u2019s not where I want to be. I\u2019m in this. I\u2019m with you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4 \u2018I LOVE TRAVIS\u2019 stars.<\/p>\n
