This book was so good- it was hard to put down! Maddox is not the ideal guy that Avery's parents had in mind for her so they took care of that until Avery was in trouble and they needed him again. This book isn't your typical rich guy, poor bad guy kind of book- there is a little twist that made the book even better! Be sure to check this book out- I think you will end up loving the story of Avery and Maddox as well!!!

Loved Isaac and Maddox! The love Isaac had for Newt was so pure. Maddox found what he needed in Isaac. I shed a tear or two for Isaac, and was glad he decided to let Maddox love and profit him and Newt. Great story! Looking forward to Cam, Ford and Jett.

Ever since I finished Precarious, Ive been waiting to see what happens between Santana and Maddox, especially after Santana learned about a tryst she would have rather not known about, and readers were made aware of a secret Maddox is keeping from her that will likely destroy any chance at a real relationship between them. When Melancholy begins, Santanas ugly past is exposed, and as the painful memories come out, readers learn about everything that she and her sister, Pippa, had to endure on the streets and with a guy who hooked Santana on drugs and put her in a situation that could have gotten her killed if it weren't for Maddox. Maddox saved her all those years ago, and he continues to watch over and take care of her. But theres more to his feelings than Maddox is willing to admit to Santana and vice versa, which is actually tearing them apart. The push and pull of their relationship is a dangerous game because if either of them pushes the other one too far, the damage may be irreversible. But thats not the only volatile situation these two are contending with  someone is gunning for Santana, and theyve already gotten too close, causing her to get hurt, and once their enemies learn of Maddoxs secret, things are only going to get worse. No matter how much Maddox and Santana love each other, if they cant stop playing games and have each others back instead of going on the offensive every time something happens that they don't like, they're either going to destroy one another or put each other in the line of fire where there will definitely be no coming back from.

I love Bella Jewels biker books; she creates gritty characters and places them in intense situations where their only option is to fight like hell to save those they love and protect their clubs at all costs. Maddox and Santana are fantastic characters; they're both strong and intense and know how to fight dirty when they have tobut, I seriously wanted to smack both of them. I get that they both feel like they don't deserve the other one, but they definitely don't handle situations like grownups, and while Santanas impulsive decisions do make her seem like a child throwing a fit, Maddox could have prevented any of those incidences from happening if he just would have confessed how he felt. But regardless of how messed up everything seems to be between Maddox and Santana, one thing they are fighting together on is ending this biker war and bringing home those they love safely, and those scenes play out in true Bella Jewel fashion  danger, death, and destruction.

Melancholy is a crazy ride of hot sex, wrathful bikers, and kick butt heroines. Nothing is easy in the Jokers Wrath MCs world, but when it comes to whats theirs, they're willing to do anything it takes to protect them in the only way bikers know how by owning them body and soul.

Ok...I've read all of the corps security and hope town books and by far this is my favorite.  I love Nate and Ember, they compliment each other perfectly and really make you believe in soulmates.  But can we get an "Amen" for Maddox, I mean every girl needs a Dad like Maddox Locke, he is a beast as a man and my all time favorite male character.  Harper Sloan you amaze me with you writing.  I love this book, it literally made me cry happy tears.

I have loved each and every Maddox Brothers book, and with each I say it's my new favorite... but this one definitely tops the charts!!! I laughed, cried, and even got so angry that I almost had to wrap my kindle in bubble wrap. Thank you Jamie for giving your readers closure and understanding how important each and every character held a special place in our hearts.
Happy reading : )

This book, is by far the best of the series yet.  The emotions that you go thru while reading it are amazing.  Harper had me crying at 3am this morning while I was finishing the book.  The major twist is oh my God, so heart wrenching and unexpected.  The rollercoaster of life that has been thrown at Dee makes you really feel for her.  Beck is an amazing man.  You learn more about Maddox and get to know him and Coop a little better with this story as well.  I can't wait for Coops story next especially with the twist in Beck.  Maddox is my favorite though :)  Harper had me wanting to throw my kindle across the room.  I loved this book.  Couldn't put it down.  Great job Harper!!

I love the Maddox brothers and Taylor was no exception. Very touching story with love, betrayal, loss and heartache. This story teaches you that if you want something bad enough, you're gonna have to fight for it.

HOLY HOT COVER!.. I seriously want to lick that butterfly...oh YUM-FesT!!

This is the second installment of Beautiful Disaster, also written by the talented Jamie McGuire but told from Travis Maddox's POV. You will have to read Beautiful Disaster before reading this one. A lot of people are mad because Jamie McGuire didn't write another book she just wrote the same book told in a different view and some did not want to read the second one when they already know what happened from the first book.
Let me put your hesitations to rest and let you know that you WILL want to be inside Travis' head.
I just spent two days being inside the mind of Travis Maddox and it was AMAZING. The two books ARE NOT completely the same, yeah a lot of the dialogue between Abby and Travis are the same, but Travis had his own life outside of Abby and you get to see what he thought about everything and fall in love with the story all over again, I know I did!!

This book started off with Travis' memory of when he lost his mom. This sets the mindset of the book and you begin to understand the boy inside the man that is
Travis Maddox.

His mom told him from the very beginning to find a love that you have to FIGHT for because if it is too easy then it won't be worth it...
Could that describe the Abby/Travis relationship any more perfectly????

I LOVED/ADORED this book, I think I even loved it more than the first one. We get to see why Travis did the things he did, saw the love from him and his family, and how amazing they are through his eyes. There were a couple scenes that brought tears to my eyes from the amount of love that was between Travis and his father. When I first read Beautiful Disaster I never understood the family dynamics between Travis, his brothers, and his dad. I thought they all just beat the crap out of each other and his dad was just a mean drunk until they had Thanksgiving dinner in Beautiful Disaster, then I was even more confused. Walking Disaster finally settled that for me and I was in awe of all of them. I was in love even more with Travis and loved his family just as much!

So glad Jamie McGuire is writing about his brothers now, I will definitely be getting those as well!!

Travis and Abby's relationship was still just as dramatic as the first book, you are still frustrated with both of them but this time you get to see what Travis was thinking the whole time and every scene that Travis was fighting for Abby in Beautiful Disaster, you get to see exactly what was going through his mind during it. You get more of an insight on his feelings for her and you will love/swoon all over him after reading it.

There are some new twists that McGuire threw in there and they were unexpected but awesome! I can't tell you what they are of course, but they just add to the magic of this story!
Not only did I get to love Travis and Abby again, I got to fall in love with the other characters as well. Shep and America were a lot more prominent in Travis' life than I originally thought and it was a pleasant surprise.

BUT.. The best part about this book was the EPILOGUE!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you get an EPILOGUE and it is beyond words how amazing it is. Everything is brought full circle and it ended beautifully!

I Laughed, I cried, I re-lived one of my favorite books through Travis' eyes and I am in complete love/awe with this book.

Thomas Maddox is my favorite of the Maddox brothers.

I have a ridiculous soft spot for the Maddox brothers--especially the older brother. Thomas is no exception to that weakness.

FBI agent Liis Lindy didn't stand a chance when she transferred to the San Diego office and met Thomas Maddox. What was supposed to be an anonymous one-night stand, proved to be difficult when she walked into the squad room and saw that her boss was, indeed, her one-night stand.

Thomas has been burned in the past. We briefly met Thomas in Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster, but we got a better feel for him in Beautiful Oblivion when we heard Cami's story.

Long story short Thomas is wonderful. he's everything you want in a Maddox brother: he's good looking, foul-mouthed, passionate, and when he falls in love, truly falls in love, he loves completely.

Like I said, Liis Lindy didn't stand a chance against the charms of a Maddox boy in love.

Tainted. Ruined. Broken. Evil.

This is the way that Maddox Locke sees himself due to his manipulative and atrocious family as well as a past that is filled with pain and anguish due to actions out of his control. It seems early on, Maddox has been programmed to see himself as a demon; a person consumed with darknesssomeone who would amount to nothing and only destroy anyone he allowed in, and this baggage he has carried with him controls his life and forces him to seal away his emotions and miss out on any kind of real and loving relationship.

Readers have seen Locke in the background for all of Harper Sloans Corps Security series books ensuring everyone elses happiness, forcing his friends to fight for what they want and what they ultimately deserve, but he never sees that happiness for himself. He allows his past to dictate his present and future because he cant find a way to break free from the tortured and wounded soul that weighs him down.

4 years  thats how long Emmy has had to watch Maddox flaunt women in front of her and suppress her feelings for a man whose demons won't allow him the love that she so willingly wants to give him, and when the events go down with Cooper, she finally makes up her mind to put an end to the torture and return to the life she swore would never put its talons in her again. But Maddoxs constant rejection and the loss of one of her best friends puts her in a really dark place, forcing her to believe that the only thing shes good for is being the Princess of Syn.

When Maddox hunts Emmy down and witnesses what her life has become, hes hellbent on protecting her from her past, herself, and his demons. But what Maddox doesnt understand is that Emmy won't allow the baggage she carries or his rejection to break her anymore; shes done giving everything to a man who clearly doesnt want her  the only problem is Maddoxs made a decision as well  now the dilemma will be whether or not Maddox can allow himself to find happiness with Emmy and if Emmy will trust in him enough to follow through with making her his.

Harper Sloans Corps Security series is unbelievably awesome...each alpha and his kicka** girl make each story amazing...but Locke and Emmy's story is my favorite. The darkness these two went through both separately and together blows my mind. Maddox Lockes story is the one Ive been waiting for because hes always been the one with the most darkness in his past  the one readers never truly understand because he never exposes who he is at his core. We are allowed that insight in Locke, and his backstory clearly illustrates why hes the way that he is. No one would be able to go through those experiences and be unscathed.

What I wasn't anticipating is how dark and destructive Emmys past is as well. She never allowed her past to show in the other stories; it didn't dictate who she is now because she didn't allow it to, but when she gets thrust back into that situation, and she relives how it all began as well as the current state of things, I was overwhelmed with emotion for her and all that shes been though. Her backstory is not an easy one to read, and it clearly shows how her connection with Cooper began, which puts into perspective why she reacts the way she does when all hell broke loose back at headquarters.

Locke blew me away; its the best in the series and the one that left me a blubbering and happy mess by the time I reached the end. Theres nothing easy about the journey that Locke and Emmy take. Its riddled with obstacles, both self created and inflicted by others, but its also made up of sexy and snarky moments that truly illustrate how they are each others souls  the ones they need to break free from a past that has held them down too long. Shes the angel to his demonthe light to his darkness, and their story will stay with me for a long time to come.

Harper Sloan, you are one kickbutt storyteller, and I can't wait for more.

I love the Maddox brothers so that definitely influenced my love for the book. I was satisfied with the story but didn't feel like it was as compelling and interesting as Trent and Travis's stories. I love the series and will definitely keep reading Jamie's books.

This was a very intense roller coaster ride! Ellie frustrated the hell out of me. Of course, Tyler's patience was endearing, like a typical Maddox brother. *sigh*
Jamie took me into the world of hotshot firefighters and I loved all the crew. Another awesome story!!!

I fell in love with Maddox right from the start! Seriously Emma what took you so long?! Maddox is sweet, sexy and loves to live life to the fullest and he drags Emma out of her room & her books to finally experience everything life has to offer! It's an engaging journey of stepping out of your comfort zone and falling in love!
