**For mature readers. Contains sexual situations and strong language**

The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, 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 needs--and wants--to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his charms, 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' apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

 When Abby meets Travis, there is an instant connection. One she wants to avoid, one he is fascinated with.

Travis is Eastern University’s living legend – the guy famous for one night stands, who the girls can’t stay away from…even when they know better. Abby is a good girl – keeps out of trouble and avoids Travis’ type like the plague. But fate seems intent on pushing them together.

Curious about the girl who isn’t fazed by his charm or swoons at his biceps, Travis wants to know all about Abby. He comes up with a bet – if he loses, he must abstain from sex for one month. If she loses, she must live with him for one month. Either way, things are going to change between them.

I cannot begin to describe how much I loved this book. Electric banter, sizzling chemistry and bittersweet whisperings, Beautiful Disaster has it all. And I am so not ashamed to say, I totally fell under Travis’ spell.

Abby and Travis will entrance you, their story keeping you up into the night as you say to yourself ‘just one more chapter’. For once, I’m keeping my review short and sweet. Too much said would ruin this jem of a book. Just read it. Like, now.
