6 Fabulous Mad Dog Stars!!!!!!!!!!!
How to start?!?!?
“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 then never stop fighting. Never”
“Love hard. Fight Harder.”
TRAVIS ‘MAD DOG’ MADDOX.
Tattooed, hot, drop dead gorgeous and irresistible, everyone’s favourite bad boy is back... And he has plenty to say...
BLURB:
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. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire's New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.
Where to begin????
I loved Beautiful Disaster but this book (dreamy sigh)... this book knocked me off my feet effortlessly...
TRAVIS.
The ultimate Alpha Male (and least annoying) since Christian Grey, his thoughts and emotions BLEW ME AWAY and took me on one of the most exhilarating journeys of my life....
“I hope you know Benny, that when I take out your men, I mean no disrespect. But I'm in love with this girl, and I can't let you hurt her”
NEVER have i wanted a book so badly since the slammed trilogy by Colleen Hoover.
If Beautiful Disaster made me perk up and pay attention, Walking Disaster had me floored and head over heels in love with every single character in the book.
Travis’ scenes with his family and the confrontations with Shepley were a delight to read. And America. Oh. My. God. She was one kickass helluva bitch (and i mean this in the best way possible) who is a dream BFF with just the right amount of Sugar and Spice=)
In a nutshell, Walking Disaster is a book that will make you laugh, cry and want to tear your hair out in frustration and steal your breath away. Walking Disaster is a mind- blowing read that will fill your heart with a warmth and leave a smile on your lips...
BUY IT. READ IT
YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE. AGAIN.
Best Quotes:
I leaned over to whisper in Brock’s ear. “I just want you to know I’m a big fan, even though you’re kind of a prick and a cheat. So don’t take it personally when you get KTFO’d tonight.”
“The first time I bring a girl home, and not only is she the daughter of a famous poker player, but she could easily bankrupt us all in a single hand. For being the family fuckup, I felt like I had finally gained a little respect from my older brothers. And it was all because of Abby.”
“I took a deep breath, and shut the bedroom door behind me. Even though we'd put each other through hell, we'd found heaven. Maybe that was more than a couple of sinners deserved, but I wasn't going to complain.”
"Now that it's over, I wish I could have all the bad stuff back... just so I could have the good.”
PREPARE TO BE AMAZED...

WALKING DISASTER
It’s from Travis’s perspective, I repeat it’s the exact same storyline but from Travis’s perspective and it’s AMAZING! Maybe even better than the first one.
Having already read [b:Beautiful Disaster|11505797|Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1)|Jamie McGuire|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358259032s/11505797.jpg|16441531], I already knew I would like the story. I am disappointed, however, in the lack of added information this new POV gives. All of the scenes with Abby were just repeated, with very little added internal monologue. I was hoping for some more insight as to the reasoning behind his words, not just a copy/paste of their dialogue.
So after reading Abby's side I decided to read Travis' side of the story. The beginning of the book started off really slow. It took me a while to actually get into the book again because I felt like I was basically reading the same story again.
I am pretty good at deducing situations and analyzing things so I practically already understood why Travis behaved the way he did in most of the situation in Beautiful Disaster. But I wanted to see if there was more to his story.
I really liked Travis' character. Although he can act like a jerk sometimes I felt like he was a more developed character that Abby. I was able to really get into this book because of Travis. His back story was well developed in the sense that it played well into his life and the reason why he behaved the way he did. It also didn't hurt that he was truly in love with Abby and did everything he could to please her.
One thing that I did notice in the book that I didn't like and I'm sure most people probably skipped was the part about the class bell ringing. In that scene I was like "What?" there aren't any bells in college. What is this high school? So that was my only problem with this book.
Overall it was an enjoyable book. I actually really liked it a lot more than the first one because of the character development. I also, appreciated the different scenes in this book that we didn't get to see in Abby's book; instead of just retelling the same story but through Travis' eyes.

I enjoyed reading this story again from Travis's perspective. I already preferred his character over Abby's anyway - this book just cemented that. I understand Travis better than Abby - she just always seemed to be playing head games, whereas Travis is just truly messed up. Together they really are kinda perfect, but I still had a hard time relating at points. Good story, still not my favorite though.
Travis,Travis,Travis you are perfect. Yes, I love him so much. The explosive couple: Abby Abernathy and Travis Maddox
4.5 After devouring the turbulent romance of Travis and Abby in Beautiful Disaster I was on pins and needles awaiting the companion book Walking Disaster told from Travis point of view. Every story has two sides and McGuire shared the raw, gritty, emotional side of Travis and his relationship with Abby. I literally consumed this in a single afternoon, as I laughed, cried and found myself swept up in the beautiful disaster of these damaged soul-mates.
The tale mirrors the events of Travis Maddox and Abby Abernathy's rocky relationship as portrayed from Abby’s point of view in Beautiful Disaster but this time through the eyes and heart of Travis. If you haven’t read Abby’s then I recommend you do so. There are slight variances to the tale as Travis perceives things differently. We get inside Travis’s head to see his damaged, vulnerable, sensitive side. Something I knew was there all along, but it also showed Abby’s issues, fears, and her contribution to the storm they created.
It is very hard not to become emotionally attached to Abby and Travis. They are flawed, crazy, often times needy, fearless, passionate, mature, juvenile and lost looking for an anchor. Abby is trying desperately to escape her past as Travis has spent the past eleven years cutting off his emotions and attachments in fear of losing someone again. Their fractured, broken personalities make them volatile. He is too needy and she is afraid of loving him because he closely mirrors her past. Together they are a storm gathering off the coast, magnificent and deadly. At their core they are good, honest and loving. Against the odds they work as a couple. McGuire demonstrated how each makes the other better, stronger, and wiser. I think we get a better understanding of America and Shep and their friendship, love and impact on the couple.
Told from Travis’s point of view, we see his insecurities, what drives his violent outbursts and his love for Abby. For years he cut off his emotions and now he feels to much and it's raw and powerful. We see the damaged side of Abby and the things she did; running from hot to cold as she struggles with her own emotional issues. We see his efforts and mistakes driven by his need to make Abby the center of his universe. Right or wrong the characters are well-developed, raw and genuine. Travis’s perspective captivated me and reality slipped away as the tale unfolded effortlessly. I actual preferred Travis’s perspective and I think it’s because I already knew how damaged Abby was. The odds of a relationship like theirs surviving are low and yet McGuire makes it believable. The epilogue was sweet and gives us a glimpse at their future. Do I still wish these two fractured souls were offered helped other than a bottle of Jimmy Bean? Heck yes! These books are appropriately titled as alone Travis is a walking disaster and together they make a beautiful disaster.
Fans of Beautiful Disaster will enjoy Travis’s perspective in Walking Disaster. McGuire is working on the Maddox Brothers Series. They will give us Trent and Thomas’s stories. They will be on my auto-buy list.

I feel the reason I didn’t Enjoy this book as much as the first one is because I read it one after the other and I felt it was just repeated but just in different words which is like every book where the second book in the guys point of view which is why I tend to stay clear of them as I’m not a huge fan of them. But I still really enjoyed this book. I loved seeing moments in Travis I wanted to see you in the first book and I’m glad we got to see that in this book. I found myself annoyed at Abby when I was in travis’s mind but then annoyed at Travis when I was in abby’s mind. So it goes to show that you need to put yourself in the other persons shoes to understand what they see and what they do and why.
