In this short, but potent novella, McGuire captures the true essence of Abby and Travis's romance. Both of them are feeling anxiety as they make this unexpected, but destined leap into the future. Adding to the pressure is the threat of the unknown as Travis tries to flee a disastrous event that guilts him into doing the right thing. However, Abby isn't allowing her man to give up that easily.

Though all the events are swift in this novella, it doesn't make it any less romantic. McGuire still manages to find beautiful moments amidst the chaos and I think that's really where the beauty lies with this series. So much happens in these novels in terms of drama, but the focus is still on the romance between Travis and Abby.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING solidifies my love for the bad boy Travis Maddox. As if he couldn't get any more swoonworthy, McGuire reconnects with her readers and gives them no chance of turning away. I believe this quote from the book aptly describes everything this series entails: "A Maddox boy will take you all the way to the edge, but if you go with him, he'll follow you anywhere..."
