The B*E*A*S*T* Within

B*E*A*S*T #1

by Rebecca Goings

When Lanie Erickson is thrown from her car in a horrific accident, she never dreams she'll be saved by a white tiger! Nor does she think meeting the man who claims to be the tiger's 'friend' will change her life forever. Noah Carpenter has a terrible secret. Mutated genetically by the agency known as B*E*A*S*T*, Noah is a shifter, able to change his shape at will. But he escapes the agency that made him a monster, and now he's on the run. As Noah remembers more about who he used to be, his attraction for Lanie grows until it cannot be denied. Even though Lanie knows of his savage side, she welcomes him with open arms. But when B*E*A*S*T* suddenly abducts her, can Noah save the woman he loves from the torture he once endured? And can he do it even if it means killing anyone who gets in his way?

About the author

Rebecca Goings has loved romance all her life. Always the romantic, she would frequently invent
love stories for her dolls and critters before realizing she should probably write them all down.
Bitten by the writing bug at the tender age of seven, Rebecca never once looked back as scores of
short stories and poems kept her company throughout her childhood.

In high school, she shared her stories with her friends, who became her first fans, demanding she write at least one new chapter a day lest they stage a coup. It wasn't until after Rebecca got married
that she tried her hand at writing a full-length novel. After many long years, she found the courage
to submit her work and now finds herself a multi-published author at several publishing houses.

Rebecca resides in Portland, Oregon with her husband and four children, who are the light of her life.
A native Californian by birth, but a native Oregonian at heart, Rebecca loves the Pacific Northwest
and never plans on leaving.

Her dream is to host a book signing at Powell's City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world, located in the heart of downtown Portland.

Reviews

[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really good shifter story. I rate it 3.5 to 4 stars. I liked it so much, I picked up the next three stories in the series. (They were on sale at fictionwise.com). The story reminds me of other books, but it was different enough to be enjoyable.

[Jane Doe · Rating 3 out of 5]

Little slow, first book in a series syndrome. The hero cries a lot or has tears. Which seemed a bit odd as he is a tiger shifter. Some flow problems. I'll probably read the next book in this series at some point. I will be taking the erotica tag off, its more mainstream romance.

I only read this book because I am in the process of narrating the audio version. It'll be a trip reading those "steamy" chapters out loud...

I read this quite a few years back, but I remember LOVING it. And to this day it is one of my favorite shifter books!

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this beginning to the series. I really liked the characters.

This is not a badly written book, I just found it VERY slow. But if you can push through, then maybe you will enjoy it more than I did.
