Now a major motion picture! The “deliciously intense” (USA TODAY) New York Times bestselling phenomenon follows a good girl drawn to a very bad boy...The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear and has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. With the darkness of her past behind her, she believes her freshman year at college is the start of a new beginning. But then she meets Travis Maddox. Lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand is exactly what Abby needs to avoid. Intrigued by her resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in his apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match in this “beautifully sexy, beautifully intense, and beautifully perfect” (Jessica Park, New York Times bestselling author).

"This Book Was A Disaster The Sex Scenes Were A Yawn This Hook Was Full Of Cliches And Who Wants A Man Who Literally Acts Like A Puppy Like Its Okay To Have A Strong Female Character And A Strong Male You Dont Have To Make One Week I Read It Porbably about Reread It But If You Are Looking For A Quick Read This Works I Just Wanted More Then What Was Given"
"3.5/5 stars
Beautiful Disaster caused me to go through a complex mix of emotions. It is about a messy, intricate relationship that goes some dark, yet fascinating, places. I know that it is very polarizing as reviewers either seem to love it or hate it for the way it portrays love. When these characters, Abby and Travis, love it is an intense whirlwind and can feel very damaging, yet in some scenes very healing, especially when Travis goes through his own character transformation to become a fundamentally better man. I could feel his want to change even when it felt hard and paralyzing. There were parts that really ripped through me in that respect.
I could also feel the damage and the pain as if it were my own and really get inside this cataclysmic world. I didn’t always like Abby or Travis and the decisions they made and actions they took, but did I compulsively love returning to going on an adventure through their inner psyches? Absolutely! I could recognize the toxicity and still maintain a knowing distance as a reader and observer. I knew what they went through wasn’t always healthy and could be manipulative, but I also recognized how hardcore and all the shades of ugly it can be to live, hurt, and be human. For that, I will forever remember this story as it burns eternally in the back of my mind. "
"Amazing! Beautiful! Loved it so much! Thank you to my best friend who bought me this book as a birthday present! I loved reading about these two! Their relationship is complicated, the story is so unique and creative, and I love the nicknames, the danger, and the passion all wrapped up in this book. ❤️❤️❤️ Seriously so amazing! I feel like this book will have me thinking about it months later."
