With the Headmaster's Approval (a feel good story)
A feel good story of secrets, scandals and second chances.
Now also available in paperback. WIN a PAPERBACK COPY in a Goodreads Giveaway. https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/s...ets-scandals-a [IMG] ![]() Lust shouts. Love whispers. Only the heart knows the difference. When handsome American, Adam Wild, takes up the position of head teacher at St Mary’s Academy for Girls in England, he knows he’ll have his work cut out for him. The governing board thinks his background as an officer in the US Navy makes him well suited to restore much needed discipline to the school. But some of the all-female teaching staff disagree. Jenna feels the position should have been hers and undermines his attempts to reform the troubled school. Barbara (Babs) sees him as a romantic challenge, but Lisa, his confidant, believes she knows where his heart truly lies. Adam’s strict new rules and sometimes cavalier approach set him on a collision course with a contingent of sullen and rebellious students who set out to manipulate and embarrass him in ways that only teenage girls can. Still recovering from the tragic loss of his wife and two young children in a car crash, Adam is not in the market for new romance. But that does not prevent him from becoming the target of several predatory, repressed, or love-hungry libidos. His virile presence acts as a catalyst that upsets the entrenched order and stability of the school world, and proceeds to pull more than one dark, scandalous secret into the light … And then Nicole, his late wife’s tearaway kid sister returns from Africa - and she is hiding secrets of her own. Intrigue, scandal and suspense simmer beneath the surface of this light-hearted and humour-peppered romance, where one man’s influence on a school full of wayward girls and their teachers changes their lives in ways none of them could imagine – and eventually his own. Winner of the best Chick Lit/Women’s Lit category in the 2015 eFestival of Words If you enjoy feel-good stories then don't miss this happy-ever-after read. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HB6329C?tag=mr060-20 Amazon. com https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HB6329C?tag=mr061-21 Amazon UK Last edited by Just4kix; 02-18-2017 at 03:08 AM.

Review:
![]() A most enjoyable, skilfully written story with thoroughly likeable characters about whom I cared. There are many interwoven story lines that complement each other well. When it was suggested to me that this book is perhaps a romance, I was surprised. It has a romantic element yes, but there are so many themes, I'd find it hard to categorise. As a child I was addicted to Enid Blyton's tales of girls' schools, Malory Towers and St. Clares. Part of the charm of this story for me was nostalgia mixed with a feeling that I was now reading a GROWN-UP version of my beloved old books |
