From the day she arrives at the Biltmore, Tillie Reese is dazzled--by the riches of the Vanderbilts and by Mack Danvers, a mountain man turned footman. When Tillie is enlisted to help tame Mack's rugged behavior by tutoring him in proper servant etiquette, the resulting sparks threaten Tillie's efforts to be chosen as Edith Vanderbilt's lady's maid. After all, the one rule of the house is no romance below stairs.
But the stakes rise even higher when Mack and Tillie become entangled in a cover-up at the town orphanage. They could both lose their jobs, their aspirations ...and their hearts.
My Review
Ever since the first book by Deeanne "A Bride Most Begrudging" I fell in love with her books. "Maid to Match" was no different than her other six books. This book takes place in 1898 in North Carolina. This is one of my favorite time periods to read about. The characters that Deeanne writes about seem so real and I felt like I was right there with Tillie and Mack in the Biltmore Estate.
It is a quick historical read with a sweet romance entwined. It is a stand alone book so you don't have to worry about reading a sequel.
Glad you enjoyed this one, Katey! I've had it on my shelf for quite some time, but haven't read it yet. I love Deeanne's books too, so I'm looking forward to it. : )
