WALKING DISASTER (Beautiful #2):

 

How much is too much to love? Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

Finally, the highly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster.

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.

BEAUTIFUL REDEMPTION (The Maddox Brothers #2):

“The Maddox Brothers Series is sexy, addictive, and full of surprises — just like the Maddox boys.” — Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures novels & author of The Lovely Reckless

If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn’t love you, first?

No-nonsense Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director after cracking an impossible case.

Special Agent in Charge Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with putting away some of the world’s toughest criminals, and he is one of the best the Bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he’s saved, there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis’s only savior is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI.

Liis is stubborn, defiant, and yet somehow softens Thomas’s rough edges, making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as a couple, they must travel to Travis & Abby’s beach vow renewal and give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself wondering if they were pretending at all.

In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last.

 

BEAUTIFUL SACRIFICE (The Maddox Brothers #3):

 

Falyn Fairchild can walk away from anything. Already leaving behind her car, her education, and even her parents, the daughter of the next governor of Colorado is back in her hometown, broke and waiting tables for the Bucksaw Café. After every shift, Falyn adds to her shoebox of cash, hoping to one day save enough to buy her a plane ticket to the only place she can find forgiveness: Eakins, Illinois.

The moment Taylor Maddox is seated in Falyn’s section at the Bucksaw, she knows he’s trouble. Taylor is charming, breaks promises, and gorgeous even when covered in filth—making him everything Falyn believes a hotshot firefighter to be. Falyn isn’t interested in becoming another statistic, and for a Maddox boy, a disinterested girl is the ultimate challenge.

Once Falyn learns where Taylor calls home, everything changes. In the end, Maddox persistence is met with Falyn’s talent for leaving, and for the first time, Taylor may be the one to get burned.

 

A BEAUTIFUL FUNERAL (The Maddox Brothers #5):

A Beautiful Funeral: A Novel is now a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller!

Losing has never been easy for a Maddox, but death always wins.

Eleven years to the day after eloping in Vegas with Abby, Special Agent Travis Maddox delivers his own brand of vigilante justice to mob boss Benny Carlisi. Vegas’s oldest and most violent crime family is now preparing for vengeance, and the entire Maddox family is a target.

The secret Thomas and Travis have kept for a decade will be revealed to the rest of the family, and for the first time the Maddoxes will be at odds. While none of them are strangers to loss, the family has grown, and the risk is higher than ever. With brothers against brothers and wives taking sides, each member will make a choice–let the fear tear them apart, or make them stronger.

ALL THE LITTLE LIGHTS by JAMIE McGUIRE

June 8, 2018

About the Book

Title: All The Little Lights
Author: Jamie McGuire
Release Date: May 29, 2018

Synopsis:

 

The first time Elliott Youngblood spots Catherine Calhoun, he’s just a boy with a camera, and he’s never seen a sadder and more beautiful sight. Both Elliott and Catherine feel like outcasts, yet they find an easy friendship with each other. But when Catherine needs him most, Elliott is forced to leave town.

Elliott finally returns, but he and Catherine are now different people. He’s a star high school athlete, and she spends all her free time working at her mother’s mysterious bed-and-breakfast. Catherine hasn’t forgiven Elliott for abandoning her, but he’s determined to win back her friendship…and her heart.

Just when Catherine is ready to fully trust Elliott, he becomes the prime suspect in a local tragedy. Despite the town’s growing suspicions, Catherine clings to her love for Elliott. But a devastating secret that Catherine has buried could destroy whatever chance of happiness they have left.

Message from Elliott:

 

My name is Elliott. You don’t know my story yet, but you will. I spent my summers with my aunt and uncle just down the street from Catherine. She lives in a looming, rickety bed and breakfast called the Juniper, and spends most of her time outside, away from the memories that live between the Juniper’s walls amidst more tangible dangers that I never knew existed until now.

It’s not so much that I fell in love or even that I fought for it, but that a war is waging inside Catherine’s home—one I can’t fight for her. It doesn’t matter how strong I am, or how determined I am to stay. I can only get close enough to observe her pain in detail. And, so I stay, and wait, and help her the only way I know how; to do what I couldn’t for her before.

I hope you’ll understand.

EXCERPT:

 

Elliott began to speak, but a small group of girls approached our table.

“Aw,” Presley said, dramatically touching her chest. “Catherine got herself a boyfriend. I feel so bad that all this time we thought you were lying about him being from out of town.”

Three carbon copies of Presley—Tara and Tatum Martin and Brie Burns—all giggled and tossed their bleached-blonde tresses. Tara and Tatum were identical twins, but they all strived to look like Presley.

“Maybe just outside of town,” Brie said. “Like a reservation, maybe?”

“Oklahoma doesn’t have reservations,” I said, appalled by her stupidity.

“Yeah, they do,” Brie argued.

“You’re thinking of tribal land,” Elliott said, unfazed.

“I’m Presley,” she said to Elliott, smug.

I looked away, not wanting to witness their introduction, but Elliott didn’t move or speak, so I turned to see what was holding up their exchange. Elliott offered me a small grin, ignoring Presley’s outstretched hand.

She made a face and crossed her arms. “Is Brie right? Do you live in White Eagle?”

Elliott raised an eyebrow. “That’s the headquarters for the Ponca tribe.”

“And?” Presley sniped.

Elliott sighed, seeming bored. “I’m Cherokee.”

“So that’s an Indian, right? Isn’t White Eagle for Indians?” she asked.

“Just go away, Presley,” I pleaded, worried she would say something even more offensive.

Excitement sparked in Presley’s eyes. “Wow, Kit-Cat. Are we getting a little big for our britches?”

I looked up at her, anger blazing in my eyes. “It’s Catherine.”

Presley led them to a booth across the room, continuing to tease Elliott and me from afar.

“I’m so sorry,” I whispered. “They’re just doing it because you’re with me.”

“Because I’m with you?”

“They hate me,” I grumbled.

He turned his spoon upside down and stuck it in his mouth, seeming unaffected. “It’s not hard to see why.”

I wondered what about my outward appearance made it so obvious. Maybe that’s why the town hadn’t stopped blaming Mama and me for my grandparents’ mistakes. Maybe I looked like someone they should hate.

“Why do you look embarrassed?” he asked.

“I guess I was hoping you didn’t know about my family and the smelter.”

“Oh. That. My aunt told me years ago. Is that what you think? That they’re mean to you because of your family history with the town?”

“Why else?”

“Catherine.” My name sounded like a soft laugh tumbling from his mouth. “They’re jealous of you.”

I frowned and shook my head. “What could they possibly be jealous of me for? We barely have two pennies to rub together.”

“Have you seen yourself?” he asked.

I blushed and looked down. Only Dad had ever complimented my looks.

“You’re all the things they’re not.”

I crossed my arms on the table and watched the warm hue of the corner streetlight blink between the branches of a tree. It was a strange feeling, wanting to hear more and hoping he’d talk about anything else. “What they said doesn’t bother you?” I asked, surprised.

“It use to.”

“Now it doesn’t?”

“My uncle John says people can only make us angry if we let them, and if we let them, we give them power.”

“That’s pretty profound.”

“I listen to him sometimes, even though he thinks I don’t.”

“What else does he say?” He didn’t hesitate. “That you either get good at rising above and meeting ignorance with education, or you get really good at being bitter.”

I smiled. Elliott spoke his uncle’s words with respect.

“So you just choose not to let what people say get to you?”

“Pretty much.”

“How?” I said, leaning in. I was genuinely curious, hoping he would unveil some magical secret that would end the misery Presley and her friends loved invoking in me.

“Oh, I get angry. It gets old when people feel the need to tell me their great-grandmother was a Cherokee princess, or that stupid joke about if I got my name from the first thing my parents saw after they walked out of a teepee. I can get heated when someone calls me chief, when I see people in headdresses outside of our ceremonies. But my uncle says we should either be compassionate and educate or leave them alone in their ignorance. Besides, there’s too much ignorance in the world to let it all get to me. If I did, all I’d ever feel is anger, and I don’t want to be like my mom.”

“Is that why you were punching our tree?”

He looked down, either unwilling or unable to answer the question.

“A lot bothers me,” I grumbled, sitting back. I glanced at the clones, dressed in cutoff denim shorts and floral blouses, just variations of the same shirt from the same store.

Dad tried to make sure I had the right clothes and the right backpack, but year after year Mama watched as more of my childhood friends faded away. She began to wonder what we’d done wrong, and then I began to wonder, too.

The truth was, I hated Presley for hating me. I didn’t have the heart to tell Mama that I would never fit in. I wasn’t vile enough for those small-town, small-minded girls. It took me a long time to figure out that I didn’t really want to, but at fifteen, I sometimes wondered if it was better than being alone. Dad couldn’t be my best friend forever. I took a bite of my sherbet.

“Stop,” Elliott said.

“Stop what?” I asked, the cool orangey-goodness melting on my tongue.

“Looking at them like you wish you were sitting over there. You’re better than that.”

“We should probably, um . . . we should go.”

Elliott stood, waiting for me to slide out of the booth. He followed me out, so I wasn’t sure if he noticed Presley and the clones covering their insults and giggles with their hands.

When he stopped next to the trash can behind their booth, I knew he had. “What are you laughing at?” he asked.

I tugged on his T-shirt, begging him with my eyes to keep walking.

Presley rolled her shoulders and lifted her chin, thrilled to be acknowledged. “Just how cute is Kit-Cat with her new boyfriend? It’s precious how you don’t want to hurt her feelings. I mean . . . I have to assume that’s what”—she gestured to us—“this is.”

Elliott walked over to their table, and the girls’ giggles quieted. He knocked on the wood and sighed. “You know why you’ll never outgrow the need to make others feel like shit so you can feel better, Presley?”

She narrowed her eyes at him, watching him like a snake ready to strike.

Elliott continued, “Because it’s a temporary high. It never lasts, and you’ll never stop because it’s the only happiness you’ll ever have in your sad, pathetic life that revolves around manicures and highlighting your hair. Your friends? They don’t like you. No one ever will because you don’t like yourself. So every time you give Catherine a hard time, she’ll know. She’ll know why you’re doing it, just like your friends will know. Just like you’ll know that you’re overcompensating. Every time you throw insults Catherine’s way, it’s that much less of a secret.” He made eye contact with each clone and then Presley. “Have the day you deserve.”

He returned to the door and held it open, gesturing for me to walk through. We navigated the parked cars until we were on the other side of the lot, and headed back toward our neighborhood. The streetlamps were on, the gnats and mosquitoes buzzing beneath the bright bulbs. The quiet made the sounds of our shoes against the pavement more prominent.

“That was,” I began, searching for the right word, “legendary. I could never tell someone off like that.”

“Well, I don’t live here, so that makes it easier. And that wasn’t entirely mine.”

“What do you mean?” “It’s from a scene in Detention Club Musical. Don’t tell me you didn’t watch it when you were little.”

I stared at him in disbelief, and then laughter erupted from my throat. “The movie that came out when we were eight?”

“I watched it every day for like a year and a half.”

I giggled. “Wow. I can’t believe I didn’t catch it.”

“I’m just glad Presley didn’t. That would have made my monologue much less intimidating.”

Excerpt:

I wanted to be in San Diego, even if it put me directly in the crosshairs of a renowned asshole of an ASAC like Maddox. It was better than being in Chicago, having the same, seven-year-long conversation with Jackson Schultz. That name definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

Still, I couldn’t stop myself from what I was about to say.

“I would be happy to, sir, if you’ll let me.”

I was sure I heard maybe one or two barely-audible gasps in the room. Agent Maddox’s eyes flickered. He took a step in my direction. Agent Maddox was tall and nothing less than menacing, even in a tailored suit. But, even if he was more than a foot taller than I and rumored to be lethal with a gun and his fists, my Irish side lured me to narrow my eyes and cock my head, daring my superior to take one more step, even on my first day.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Jamie McGuire returns to self-publishing with this page-turning YA account of Erin Easter, one of three Erins in the small senior class of rural Blackwell High School who not only share a first name, but also their birthday. Easter, raised by a neglectful single mom, keeps to herself and admires Weston Gates from afar. The other Erins, Erin “Alder” Alderman and Erin “Sonny” Masterson are the darlings of the community: daughters of the two wealthiest families in town, best friends, cheerleaders, and everything Easter isn’t–and they never let her forget it. Alder has even claimed Weston since the 8th grade.

Weston is a well-liked star athlete, and the son of two prominent attorneys. He struggles daily with the pressures of living up to his family name and secretly empathizes with Easter’s feeling that she belongs somewhere else; in a different life. Not until he begins sneaking nights out with Easter does he gain the courage to buck expectations and acknowledge his feelings … both for his future, and for her.

A shocking tragedy rocks the tiny town, and Easter’s life is turned upside down in the best way possible. But when the truth is revealed and everything she thinks she wanted falls into her lap, life only becomes more complicated.

BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION (MADDOX BROTHERS #1) BY JAMIE McGUIRE

BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION
Atria Books | 336 pages | Paperback ISBN 9781476759586 | eBook ISBN: ISBN 9781476759593 | On Sale: July 1, 2014

Summary:

The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.

Fiercely independent Camille “Cami” Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.

Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.

Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red.

As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.

In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.

Spolier-Free Review:

We loved this latest installment in the Maddox Brothers’ saga! Trent is hard-loving, hard-working, loyal and completely devoted to Cami. She is a good girl dealing with a bad family situation and trying to keep up with two jobs, school and TJ, her long-distance boyfriend who is does not seem to have much time for her because of his mysterious job in California.

What we loved best about this story is the devotion of Trenton to Cami. At first he comes off as a player but he is far from that and when he makes his true feelings known to Cami, he is totally swoon-y. He’s uber-sexy, hot and protective.

“Because I’ve been in love with you since grade school, Chamomile. And everyone knew it. Everyone.”

We also loved Cami, she is dealing with more than her share of stress between her seriously dysfunctional family, school, juggling two jobs and her mystery boyfriend TJ in California. We both really liked this book because of our devotion to the Maddox Brothers, BUT we did not like how Trent’s longtime love for Cami was not described in more detail, maybe through a memory, or another scene or two. That led to a little bit of a disconnect between the two main characters. We are sworn to secrecy about giving away any spoilers but be aware there is a SHOCKER of an abrupt, surprise ending! Cathy figured it out from the beginning but I was clueless. And, the author just announced that the next installment will be BEAUTIFUL REDEMPTION, the oldest Maddox Brother’s story. We will definitely read the next book because who doesn’t absolutely love the Maddox Brothers??!

Book Review – A Beautiful Wedding (A Beautiful Disaster Novella) by Jamie McGuire

December 10, 2013

image

Synopsis:

You know that Abby Abernathy unexpectedly became Mrs. Maddox. But what do you really know?

Why did Abby pop the question?
What secrets were shared before the ceremony?
Where did they spend their wedding night?
Who else knew about it . . . and didn’t tell?

Everything about Abby and Travis’s elopement was top-secret . . . until now. Fans of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster will get all of their questions answered in this whirlwind tale of the wedding day (and night!)—and as with all good stories, this one will definitely have been worth the wait.

5 stars!!

The publisher very graciously sent me a copy of this gorgeous book to review. From the minute I opened this book, I remembered why I LOVE Travis Maddox so much. This story brought me back to those treasured times when I would get lost in a book! A Beautiful Wedding answers all the questions you might have about the circumstances surrounding Travis and Abby’s wedding. It is funny, it is tender, it is swoon-worthy and yes, I cried several times during the story!

Jamie McGuire is such a great writer that I immediately re-connected with these characters and was drawn right back into their story. This novella can definitely be read in one sitting but I kind of wanted to draw it out because I love Travis so much. This fantastic story is a must-read for all fans of the Beautiful Disaster series!

Favorite lines:

“We only got one shot at a wedding night, and I wanted it to be perfect.”

“A Maddox boy will take you all the way to the edge, but if you go with him, he’ll follow you anywhere.”

“If you’re not with me, it’s not where I want to be.”

(A copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)
