Romance Erotica Sensual

Rachel Delaney needs some action. After feeling down on herself for far too long, since before the divorce, she wants some no-strings, no emotions, fantasy intimacy, and she finds it, in spades. It is fascinating, helping her increase her confidence in her own sexuality and allowing her to explore hidden desires, but will it all come crashing down when she learns her fantasy lover is her troubled son's real-life principal?

THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE is a good book that will please someone who want to see how a woman might attempt to take charge of her sexuality and her life and then end up with so much more. In addition, the character development is great. Rachel's friend Bree is simply fantastic. The writing is clever and realistic.

However, I have one contrary comment: Jasmine Haynes is a good writer; in fact, she may be too good of a writer! Rachel's son is a jerk. He has reason to be. Haynes does a fantastic job depicting the nuances of how troubled teens can play on their parents' last nerves when there aren't any nerves to spare. However, I found myself getting so stressed out about Rachel and her son that, at first, I had difficulty reconciling myself to sinking into the early interesting and escapist interludes between Rachel and Rand, which was unfortunate, as they are also very well written. Once I realized that I was tense because her writing combined the realistic with the escapist, I was able to enjoy the rest of the development of the book, and I'm sure others will as well.

SUMMARY

Desire is in session. Rachel Delaney, divorced mother with two boys, isn't complaining. Her life is fine. Really. There is one thing that could make it better, though: a strong, warm, male body to help her make it through the occasional lonely night. No strings, and no relationship, thanks. Just a little fun with a perfect stranger. And there's no more perfect a stranger than Rand. He's tall, blond, unattached, smokin' hot, and looking for the same thing Rachel is: wild, abandoned sex with no limits, no last names, and no complications-until Rachel's eldest son gets in trouble in class. Only then does Rachel discover that her down-and- dirty, dangerously sexy mystery lover is also the new school principal. They're not exactly the ideal role models for a troubled student acting out his own frustrations. With Rachel's life turned upside down, Rand's the only one who can make it right-by maybe taking their hot-bodied hook-ups into a warm-hearted new direction...
