The Headmaster, by Tiffany Reisz
4.0
As I was updating my shelves, I noticed that the long list of "read" books under Tiffany Reisz had a glaring "want to read" indicating that this of a book didn't survive my previous library destruction and resurrection.
Let me fix that.
I read this little book when I got it in the chillers (?) anthology. I only purchased the anthology because of this entry, so when I finished it, I promptly put it away and went about my life.
The story was fun, sweet, with humor and a bit of supernatural mystery. The long and the short of it is a young teacher takes a new post at an exclusive, old-world style all boys school on the East Coast (?). She gets there and instantly taken with the tweedy headmaster of the school who looks at her as if she is going to cause trouble and drag him and his boys with her. She doesn't, but she sure wants to get his hair ruffled and heat up his eyeglasses. So, between the humor, and the seduction we realize that there is more going on with the school than initially thought. Some creepy sounds and unexplained sightings as well as some misunderstood visitors clue the reader into the knowledge that there is more going on that just teaching.
The book is sweet with just the right amount of heat and humor.
Like most of everything Tiffany writes, you know its hers the first page. Her voice and writing style is unmistakable and always the reason why I continue to pay full price for her books. If asked I would say that this book was the answer to the question, "What would Soren do for Nora if he passed away?", Why he would send her to an all boys school to teach English and fall in love with the perfectly respectable and available headmaster, who is in no way a threat to his memory, but can offer some real love. I can see that.
