Publisher's summary

A fever dream of desires fulfilled. Nestled in the shadow of the Appalachians is where Gwen Ashby stumbles upon the William Marshall Academy, and she's given a trial position as a literature teacher. The gothic boarding school seems trapped in time, yet it feels like home the moment Gwen arrives. She's charmed by the lovely buildings, bewitched by the eager students...and utterly seduced by the headmaster.

Edwin Yorke is noble, handsome, and infuriatingly proper. But his tweedy exterior and courtly manners conceal a raw, sensual power that Gwen longs to unleash. It's strangely thrilling to be the only woman on campus - save one other. An eerie, white-clad figure roams the grounds by night. She never speaks. She leaves no trace. But this ghostly blight on Gwen's new dream life is the key to the Marshall Academy's mysterious allure. A RITA Award-nominated title from international best-selling author Tiffany Reisz.

A Lovely Story

It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. I won't give the story away, but it's worth an afternoon.

Captivating!!

Loved this story! You begin to get a sense of what is different fairly early, but the story is so compelling, you can't put it down. This is a haunting love story told very well.

I could not put it down.

Excellent

Beautiful, erotic, moving. Tiffany Reisz has such a wonderful way of making your loins burn and your heart ache and make "the light" seem so inviting.

Great book

Loved this book. Great story with a surprising twist!!! I have enjoyed almost all of Tiffany ' s book. wonderful Author.

Outstanding!

I was totally captivated by this book! The characters were charming and delightful. It was mysterious in a fun way. As the book goes on, the mysteries keep unfolding until the end.. and the pieces fall together into a bitter sweet conclusion I didn’t expect!

too cliche

love at 1st sight 🤢🤢
overdone foreshadowing 🙄🙄
cringe worthy lines 😬😬

I like romance novels, but I like the people falling in love too. Otherwise it's just reading about people having sex. The foreshadowing was insane which is why I figured out the ending right away.
Some of the lines (I wish I had written them down but I'm not going to listen to it again 😂😂) were just painful.

meh

Enchanting

I absolutely loved how the author shaped this beautiful story. It will completely sweep you away because the romance is highlighted with the mystery and intrigue of learning about the lady in white, the peculiar scent of smoke. Gwen’s choice at the end was the perfect way to end it. You’re rooting for her and Edwin to have a happy ending. This is a must read.

loved and hated it

loved the story and all of the characters. the narrator was great performing for male, female and young teenageed voices. the live scenes were just geaohic enough not to be too erotic. i did not like the end as much though nit because the heroine chose live but that she was dead/dying (though i guessed that mid way thru the book).

Most interesting Tiffany Reisz book

This book was such a twist. It takes you in and the ending floors you.

Not Reisz’s best work

The story is filled with stereotypical romance tropes. I’ve read a bunch of her books. I enjoy her work, she tends to bring a new take on a tired genre, but I would skip this one.
