Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire
4 good but not Travis Stars |
Blurb
- 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.

Oblivion is book #1 in the Maddox Brothers Series and book #3 in the Beautiful
series.
Beautiful
Disaster and Walking Disaster are two of my favourite books of all time. So as
you can imagine I was literally wetting myself with excitement to read this
book.
Now I’m going to
have to start by saying that Trent is adorable but he’s no Travis so I’m afraid
that Trent sits firmly in the #2 Maddox boy spot.
That being said I
like Trent a lot he’s sweet and incredibly endearing. I loved that he was
thoughtful and sweet and he treated Cami like a princess.
Cami for me didn’t
have as much attitude as she did in the first book and I kind of missed her
sass.
I have to say I
guessed who T.J was right from the start and WTF I would never have suspected
that she would end up with him lol.
In the T.J vs.
Trent battle I’m totally team Trent.
OMG Olive is
flipping adorable I love her!!!
This is an
incredibly sweet love story but it doesn’t have that grit that makes the love
so much sweeter in the way Beautiful Disaster did, I know I shouldn’t compare
the two but I can’t help it.
Cami & Trenton together are another perfect couple they complement each other and I
loved the underlying sexual tension between them.
I’m so glad that
there was a hint of Travis & Abby in this book even though it was info from
the first book I still love them!!!
I keep having
moments in this book where I go god how I could have not noticed Trent &
Cami and what was going on between them in Beautiful Disaster but then I have
to slap myself to remind me that this is a book not real life lol.
What I will say
is that Jamie McGuire is a genius I feel completely absorbed into the Maddox’s
world, I feel like I know the characters.
This book definitely
needed a better epilogue though I don’t feel like I got enough resolution that
they are going to be ok. Id also love to read this from Trenton’s POV (Jamie
McGuire can we have this next please)
I really enjoyed
this story and I can’t wait for the next brother’s story to be told 4 stars.
