The Headmaster
Ratings4
Average rating3
A fever dream of desires fulfilled. Nestled in the shadow of the Appalachians is where Gwen Ashby stumbles upon the William Marshall Academy, and she's given a trial position as a literature teacher. The gothic boarding school seems trapped in time yet it feels like home the moment Gwen arrives. She's charmed by the lovely buildings, bewitched by the eager students…and utterly seduced by the headmaster. Edwin Yorke is noble, handsome and infuriatingly proper. But his tweedy exterior and courtly manners conceal a raw sensual power that Gwen longs to unleash. It's strangely thrilling to be the only woman on campus—save one other. An eerie white-clad figure roams the grounds by night. She never speaks. She leaves no trace. But this ghostly blight on Gwen's new dream life is the key to the Marshall Academy's mysterious allure. RITA® Award nominated title from International Bestselling Author Tiffany Reisz.

Read for romance book club, actually loved this. This is some awesome storytelling here! Gwen literally crashes into the side of boys' boarding school on her hunt to find a new job. They decide to try her out as the new English teacher. The principal is a hot, English guy with old fashioned values. The boys are trying to get Gwen and and Edwin together (with the idea that he will relax some rules if he's happy). I mean, that's cute.
There's a couple of problems. The school is VERY old fashioned. There is also a “White Lady” walking the campus at night and disappearing into one of the towers.
It's a ghost story with a spice level of 2.
It's also a one-sitting read at about 125pgs. Perfect for a crisp, fall night.
