You fell in love
with Abby and Travis.
Now meet Cami and
Trent.
Fiercely independent Camille “Cami” Camlin gladly left
behind her childhood before it was over. she’s had 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 besides work and
classes, until a cancelled trip to see her boyfriend leaves her with the first
weekend off in a year.
Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University,
dating coeds before he even graduated high school. Guys wanted to be him, and
women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside
down, Trent left campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.
Eighteen months later, Trent is living at home with his
widower father, and working full-time at a local tattoo palor 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 Door.
As the older sister of three rowdy brothers, Cami
believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trent Maddox
strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever- even
if Cami is the only reason his already broken family could fall apart.
My review
Thoughts on the
book: We all fell in love with Jamie McGuire’s writing and the Maddox boys
in Beautiful Disaster and again in Walking Disaster and A Beautiful Wedding,
now it is time to fall in love once again. Like everyone else I was so excited
to learn that we would get to see more of the Maddox brothers. In Beautiful Oblivion we get to meet Cami and
Trent and I am going to admit (and many of you may hate me for this) but I
liked Trent and Cami a whole lot better than Travis and Abby. For some reason
Travis and Cami, once they worked out there issues, personally worked for me
better as a couple, even though they had a really rough start.
From the very start we are lead on an amazingly
complicated love story that only a Maddox brother could go on. First off Cami
has a boyfriend that no one really knows the identity of except that he is
called TJ. After being stood up by TJ once again Cami decides to go to the Red Door where she works with her friend
Raegan and have a couple of drinks where who should appear at her table but one
of the famous Maddox brothers, Trent in this case. Upon setting eyes on Cami,
Trent decides that he must have her and stops at nothing to get her. Once again
we are thrown into an epic storyline that makes you feel like you are falling
in love for the very first time in a new relationship and for it to be a Maddox
brother that you are falling for nothing can compare to that. Trent and Cami’s story
will have you up all night eagerly flipping the pages to see what happens next.
And the best bit will be when you find out the identity of TJ (you will never
guess who it is).
Favourite
quote/moment:
Here are a few quotes I like:
“I was in trouble. Big, disastrous, Maddox trouble.”
“I've had a lifetime of wrong. You're the only thing thats right.”
“Comfortable? I'm fucking cashmere.”
