An Unplanned Lesson Kindle Edition
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.

About the author

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.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2015This 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2013This was a great story that I really enjoyed.
Nicole Morgan is a second grade teacher whose past haunts her and prevents her from committing to a relationship long term. She is loving, caring and a great teacher, but doesn't have a good relationship with her family due to her past, except for her brother Justin who she loves dearly. When a student in her class continually misbehaves she is forced to contact his guardian.
Bring on the sexy Irishman!
Dailan O'Maley is a hot as hell lawyer, who is the legal guardian of his 8 year old nephew Ryan. Although a bit of a jerk at first, he is charming, charismatic and completely sexy. After an unexpected start the two embark on a tentative relationship, never making plans for their next encounter. As things progress and become more frequent, titles are given and Nicole forms a strong relationship with both Dailan and Ryan.
Through lack of communication, mishaps, a meddling mother of a student, an evil work colleague and the inevitability of Dailan and Ryan going back to Ireland, Nicole and Dailan's relationship breaks down. However, through loss, heartbreak and a near horrific event, the couple find their way back to each other and both profess their love.
The ending in this story is just WOW! I was definitely not expecting the secret of Nicole's past to be what it was, but was amazed at how perfectly it fit. I loved the ending and thought it rounded out everything beautifully.
Nicole's families attitude towards her was heartbreaking and had me feeling really annoyed. While I was glad that the riffs were mended, when her secret was revealed I couldn't believe how angry I was at them for way they treated her. I loved Justin her brother and his emails and tears were absolutely shed for him and how his part of the story panned out.
Beth has done a great job with this story. Her writing style is a pleasure to read and flowed easily. I loved these characters, they pulled you in even when they annoyed you and I can't wait to read where their lives take them next in Unplanned Life.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2013A 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2013Um, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars this should be a Hallmark movie
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
- Donna DarceyReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars it's amazing
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 😀
