I’m not much for OW/YM, but I really liked Abby Knox’s Headmistress. You could tell this couple was made for each other. Such a sexy heartwarming little novella to read.
I read an advanced copy of this book.
Abby Knox has done it once again. ‘Headmistress’ Book 4 of the Greenbridge Academy Series is fantastic. In this book we get to experience one of my absolute favorite romance tropes with a twist. This is reverse age gap with a side of second chance goodness from start to finish. In this book we get to know Martha Moody – strong, sexy and devoted to her school. Eight years ago she fell for one of her debate team students, a determined 18 year old who was head over heels in love with her. Unfortunately not able to get passed him being her student, the relationship ends after one scorching kiss. Fast forward eight years, Miles is all grownup, a sexy lawyer tasked with suing her. Unable to get over his need for her, Miles is willing to lose everything to be with her. Their happily ever after is oh so sweet and makes this book a tie for my favorite in this series along with Grumpy Dad. Add this book to your TBR list, you won’t regret it.
A wonderful balance between steamy and sweet, this story of a older woman and a younger man was well written and a good read. I liked the dynamics between the couple and how much they really cared about each other. I liked the way the story was presented, met, apart back together because it really helped me believe not only their passions for each other but the “realistic” way in a headmaster could fall for her student. The author did a great job of balancing the romance with the buildup of the relationship. I would have liked a bit more details in regards to the overall background of the world the story takes place in. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review. 3.75 stars.
Wow, Headmistress was such an awesome surprise! I have only read one or two books like this where the older woman is pursued by the younger man and she was his teacher and he the student. Abby Knox’s version took that scenario and flipped it just a smidgen. Martha first met Miles when he tried out for debate, which she was in charge of. She was the only female that got his attention. The minute he turned eighteen, he tried to show her how he felt. He knew she felt something for him too, she just couldn’t act upon it. She had to push him away if she didn’t want her career ruined. Now it is eight years later and Martha is embroiled in a situation and that is how Miles comes back into her life. These two are seriously, no doubt about it, meant for each other. How everything played out, fell into place and cleared the path for them to be together was perfection. I flew through this one, not able to put it down for a minute! 10 stars for Headmistress!
