Nicole Morgan, the new second grade teacher at Pineview Elementary school, has it all together in the classroom; it’s her personal life that she can’t find peace with. Unable to let go of the guilt that she is harboring from her past, she punishes herself by running from all potential relationships.

Her patience is put to the test when Dailan O’Maley the obnoxious but very sexy uncle of one of her students enters her life. She slowly cracks away at Dailan’s crude, crass exterior when they are forced to work together for the sake of his nephew. The two of them learn a lesson in love that neither had planned as they discover that the guilt they are hiding deep inside isn’t the only thing they have in common. Unbeknownst to her, he holds more than just the key to her heart.

*This is not a cliffhanger
*Sequel - An Unplanned Life is now available.

Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I love creating deep characters who you will love or love to hate.

My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? My happy place is a seat by the ocean with my feet in the sand or on the busy streets of New York City. You will more than likely find one of these places as the setting for most of my books.

This is a pretty awesome read. It is sweet, engaging, hot and well I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nicole is a second grade teacher. She is beautiful, sweet, cares for her students but she can't quite grow in longterm relationships. Why? well something mysterious happened in her past and this mystery is why she believes marriage and kids are not for her. During her first weeks of teaching her heart falls for little Ryan, a student in her class who is acting up due to the death of his parents. In trying to help him out, she contacts his guardian Dailan, a hot, Irish, 29 year old lawyer. Dailan, is total guy's guy and well, he is trying his best with his nephew. Anyway, upon meeting each other, sparks fly and well the romance begins.

What I loved about this book are the characters; they are likeable, engaging and funny. The romance that develops between them is believable and it is not instant, but happens over time.

The book has a twist at the end which was like WOW but it was perfect for this book. This is a great read, it has no cliffy and has a HEA. Great gem of a book.

An Unplanned Lesson is the first book that I have read by Beth Rinyu and I loved it. It is the story of Nicole Morgan and Dailen O'Malley, two people who don't do relationships, finding love when least expected.

For the past 7 years Nicole has been carrying around a secret that has ruined any relationship she had with her parents. Her father can hardly look at her and her mother only cares about her wonderful sister who is married with two kids. Her sister only cares about herself and her kids. It's sad the way her family doesn't seem to care about what is going on in her life, only remembering what she did that caused them to be so disappointed in her. The only person that she can count on his her brother Justin, a Marine, who is thousands of miles away and the only form of communication is through email and occasional phone calls. She misses her brother and wishes that he was there in her life more.

Nicole just got a new job as a 2nd grade teacher, where she meets a young boy named Ryan O'Maley in her class. Ryan lost his parents several months ago in an accident and is now living with his uncle. Ryan needs some help and some guidance, which is completely understandable given what he has gone through. Nicole sends an email to his uncle to try to set up an appointment to discuss Ryan's behavior. But what she doesn't expect is the arrogant response that she gets from Mr. Dailan O'Maley.

After the day she had, Nicole decides she needs to go out and spend some time with her friends and maybe having a drink or two would help. While at the bar she meets a very hot and sexy Irishman who she is very attracted to. She gets a little tipsy and does a little bit of flirting with him, until she finds out his identity. Of course the hot and sexy Irishman that she has been flirting with, is Dailan O'Maley, her student's uncle. She cannot get out of there fast enough.

Over the course of the next few weeks Dailan and Nicole cannot fight the attraction between the two of them. But what they have is nothing more than a physical attraction and sex, at least that is what they tell themselves. Neither one of them do relationships and they both have walls up that are hard for anyone to break down. Dailan is very sexy, sarcastic, arrogant and a little rough around the edges, but you cannot help falling in love with him. He isn't an emotional guy by any means, and can't even commit to when he will see her next. But being that Nicole isn't looking to give her heart away she just goes with it, excited to see him any chance she can get. But what happens when the walls that they have both built begin to come down slowly and they start falling for each other?

At some point Nicole starts to become more and more frustrated with Dailan being away for work and never knowing exactly when she will see him again. One night, while he is away on business, Nicole needs him and can't seem to get in touch with him. She starts to rethink their relationship. Nicole, starts to feel the pressure that comes with dating a student's guardian, and the fact that not only is she falling for this man but she has a special place in her heart for Ryan as well. If their relationship doesn't work out, it will affect more people then just Dailan and Nicole. When he finally returns from his business trip, Nicole starts making accusations that Dailan does not take lightly and suddenly Nicole watches her relationship with him start to crumble. Will Nicole get the happy ending she deserves with the man she truly loves?

I loved the relationship between Nicole and Dailan. I loved watching the two of them open up to each other and share their secrets. They have a connection that neither one of them ever expected. The flirty text messages and emails between them will make you smile. Dailan is a sexy no holds barred type of guy. But he also has his sweet moments with Nicole as well. There was definitely some drama and angst with a few twists and turns that I did not see coming. Nicole has a secret that she is hiding for most of the book. And while you want to know what the secret is for most of the way, the author does a good job of keeping it under wraps until the end. And at the moment when the secret is finally revealed it is a bitter sweet moment that will make you smile. The epilogue was simply wonderful and wrapped up Dailan and Nicole's story in such a heart warming way that made me smile. This book was funny, and sweet but also had a few sad moments as well. It also dealt with a few deeper issues and with just enough drama and angst to keep you wanting more. Definitely a must read. A job well done by Beth Rinyu.

Um, holy crap!
I have no idea what just happened to me.

So Unplanned Lesson was like one of those Lifetime Television for Women movies that you get sucked into on a Sunday afternoon, only to get excited to know that you'll get to watch it again at 9pm.
Nicole and Dailan have to be some of the best heart-warming characters I've ever read. I fell in love with both of them immediately. Okay, so it took a few chapters to warm up to Dailan, but I love guys that start out like jerks - it makes it harder to redeem themselves...and suddenly I'm in love. ARG! So amazingly good.
The ending. OH! This ending. I felt like I was suddenly swept into a whirlwind, and I needed it to slow down! Before I even had a chance to stop sobbing from the chapter before, I was now processing a whole new plot twist. I was completely taken off guard and hadn't predicted any of it!
So I guess now I'll be adding all of Beth Rinyu's books to my To Read shelf, because I was completely impressed with this one.

A cute, simple, and quick story with the most delicious man I'd love to have for myself. Yum! I loved Dailan's sense of humour, his playfulness, just says what's on his mind, doesn't play any head games, and isn't afraid to admit his feelings for Nicole. I loved how they met and the antics he kept at to get Nicole to go out with him. They were great together. My only issue was the ending; how everything was wrapped up so quickly when the truth came out. I had some inkling as to what the secret was, but didn't see the direction it took; quite the surprise. I really loved the close relationship Nicole had with her brother, Justin; considering how their parents thought so little of both of them, it was really endearing to see how much they loved and supported each other. It's because of this that tears were shed (and you'll see why when you read it yourself). In the end, a terrific story that includes one sexy, charming man that would definitely leave you smiling in more ways than one.

What a lovely book. Perfect if you are looking for romance with a bit of spice- a bit of angst- and two mysteries then this is it. Despite the slightly too-good - to -be - true story twist I loved this book. There are some great scenes in it-especially the one in Dailon's office where you could feel the heartbreak. Highly recommended

I downloaded this thinking it was going to be another cheesy romance. It was but it was also emotional, well written and had wonderful thought out characters. All I can really say is read it, I bet you cry I know I did 😀
