Without further adieu, here is the final stop in the Summer Reading Challenge, Academy of Love by Kate Deveaux!

Setting: A stop in the Virginia countryside (Loudoun and Fauquier Counties, to be exact) is just what we need!  Aaah … fresh air, rolling hills, and serene surroundings. The area’s charming B&B’s and breathtaking wineries also offer up the perfect setting for romance!.

Plot: Cassianna Baxter leaves behind a glamorous teaching career in Italy to return to her alma mater in the majestic Virginia countryside, The Lewiston Academy for Girls. But this time she returns to her old boarding school not as a student, but as the Deputy Headmistress. No sooner does she arrive at the Academy than she walks smack into sexy Lawrence Taylor, her first love and ex lover. Now he’s the Director of the Equestrian Center and Chairman of the Board and they will be working side by side. Their attraction is intense and undeniable, sparks fly when they succumb to torrid temptation.
