Stephanie Burgis' Thornbound
The second book in the Harwood Spellbook series worked much better for me, primarily because there was less exposition so things moved much more quickly, and the story in general was just more satisfying. Here, the protagonist is starting a magical school for girls, but the disapproving government is sending inspectors to watch, and a fairy bargain may cause trouble as well. Can she (and her adorable supportive family) save the school, and maybe their lives? Will she and her new husband ever get to make out? I mean, obviously yes, but the journey to get there is very enjoyable. A-.
