Maddox Brothers # 1
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.

I
was in trouble. Big, disastrous, Maddox trouble.
“I
am the one, Cami. I’m it for you. I know because you’re it for me.”
“Anything
to do with the Maddoxes is never boring.”
“I
hope you like cherry coke, baby doll, or we can’t be friends.”
An
entire serious dedicated to the Maddox brothers. Let’s take a moment just to
take that in. Most of us fell in love with the Maddox brothers when we were
introduced to Travis, and now we are going to meet each one of them
individually starting with Trenton. McGuire had quite the task in writing this book
because she has Maddox fans everywhere that were lying in wait that she could not
disappoint. In my opinion, this book was a complete success and she completely nailed
it! Trenton Maddox has always been in love with Camille Camlin and he decides that
nothing is going to stand in his way from being with her, not even the fact
that Cami has a boyfriend living in California. I’m already in love with this
series!
I
loved Cami and Trent and it is impossible to say which one I loved better.
Trenton Maddox is different from Travis, but he is still enough of a Maddox for
readers to fall completely in love. Trent was persistent, determined, charming,
and very sweet, especially when it came to Cami and a little girl named Olive,
whom I absolutely adored. Trenton had a little bit of mystery about it and I found
it absolutely thrilling how he would not give up on Cami, even after she turned
him down time after time. Reading their love story was complete bliss and
McGuire got everything right.
This
book carries quite a large cast of secondary characters as well, and that
helped make Trent and Cami’s life more relatable. Cami’s family is just one
huge mess and she has three brothers who are very protective, yet demanding of
her at times. Her best friend, Reagan, was another of my favorite parts about this
book as well. Reagan was very supportive of Cami and had her own dilemmas in
love as well. Travis made a big appearance in this book as well, and it is always
nice to have more than one Maddox brother per page!
Happy Birthday, Trenton! Today is his birthday!
