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.
