4.0 out of 5 stars Beauty and the beast, April 18, 2003

This review is from: Taming the Beastly MD (Dynasties: The Barones) (Mass Market Paperback)

Brilliant heart surgeon Dr. Matthew Grayson comes from very old Boston money. As a ten year old, he was mauled by a lion, which left him with one side of his face badly scared. Being shunned by the other children after his accident left him with his soul badly scared. His standoffish attitude at the hospital has earned him the reputation of being quite the beast.

Rita Barone is a beauty who comes from new Boston money. Although she could work in the family ice cream business, she has wanted to be a nurse since getting a toy nurse kit as a child. Her sweet, caring personality is a real asset when working with patients in the cardiac unit of the hospital.

Matthew secretly has a crush on Rita but never believes anyone as beautiful as her would give him a chance. He buys her several presents that he anonymously leaves in her mail slot at work. When Rita finds the presents, she's uncomfortable with them. Are they from a secret admirer or a stalker?

Meanwhile, Rita is able to see behind Matthew's scars and surly attitude and is very attracted to the man beneath them. When she needs an escort to a Barone family function, she asks Matthew. When they are finally out of the work setting,the sparks begin to fly. The relationship between Matthew and Rita sizzles.

This review is from: Taming the Beastly MD (Dynasties: The Barones) (Mass Market Paperback)

Nurse Rita Barone noticed everything about moody cardiologist Dr. Matthew Grayson - his broad shoulders, his powerful hands, his eyes that saw right through her scrubs, his lips set in a scowl that seduced her into giving up her innocence. But she never noticed that he was the secret admirer who'd been sending her anonymous gifts. The pragmatic Dr. Grayson felt a fool. A renowned surgeon with a crush on one of his young nurses? No matter how much he dreamed of touching her, kissing her, undressing her, Matthew knew that for the "Beast of Boston General," bedding a beauty like Rita was nothing but an elusive fantasy...or was it?

I loved this book!! Very beauty and the beast like. Rita's warm, serious minded, shows kindness to others no matter what. Even with her being part of a wealthy family she's not a snob. Dr. Grayson reminds me of me, because like him I have a disability. I identified very well with both main characters. Like I said, a great book. This book will never leave my personal collection!!
