Finally, the highly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster. 

Can you love someone too much?

Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.

I fell in love with Travis while reading Beautiful Disaster, and when I found out there was going to be a book from his POV I almost died.

The best things about Walking Disaster were the extra scenes at the beginning and end and all the interaction with only Travis and Shepley and Travis and his family. It was the best thing to read about these little moments we didn't get to see, specially because they gave us some background to Travis' character and as to what he was thinking when things happened in the first book.

It was also really easy to get into Travis' head as the story goes along, and Jamie McGuire did a wonderful job in retelling all the events that lead to Travis and Abby getting together and then married. And the epilogue was amazing, with that little snippet of what the future of Mrs. and Mr. Maddox was like!

A little thing that I didn't really like about it was that a lot of the dialogue between Abby and Travis was cut, but I understand that was done so things wouldn't get too repetitive. It was still a wonderful book, and an even better end to the series.
