A Perfect Beast

by Kay Gregory

Mr. Riordan set her teeth on edge

High-school biology teacher Rosemary Reid had always handled irate parents with professional aplomb -- until Jonathan Riordan turned up. He'd come furiously to the defense of his difficult daughter, Tamsin. And made Rosemary blow her customary cool....

When the dust settled, Rosemary realized that Jonathan was no predatory beast, but a warm human being. Moreover, he was a widower with a daughter set on seeing him remarried.

Rosemary found herself tantalizingly drawn to Jonathan. Then she discovered that she'd have to fight against his self-condemning memories of his dead wife....

[Annarose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rosemary met Jonathan Riordan in her worst day ever! He was her 16 year old brilliant pupil's father whom she cared a lot for and wanted to be interested in her subject; biology. Instead of trying to understand his daughter's case, Jonathan accused Rosemary of hating his daughter! She was furious! But, to Rosemary's horror, after that horrible fatal meeting with him, Jonathan started manipulating circumstance to be close to her without any commitment. That made her even more furious.

I loved the story. Very realistic and romantic. Very soft. A wonderful pass-time.
