Maid to Match

By Deeanne Gist

I loved this book! It has romance, history, honor, respect, and hard work all wrapped into an entrancing story.

Tillie is a hardworking maid working her way up the heirarchy of the Vanderbilt's servants. One day Mack gets hired and turns her world upside down. She endeavors to keep her attraction to him under control but he is struggling as well. They become friends and though her emotions are a mess, she misses him terribly once he leaves. Together, they have the potential to change their society for the better, but is Tillie willing to give up on all her hard work at the Vanderbilts? Is Mack the right man for her, and what secrets are the local officials hiding?

Gist's writing style was enjoyable, and reading about what it would have been like as a maid in those days was a very interesting perspective to have.

This book was a joy to read, but there is a lot of romance in the book, which is mostly descriptions of the chemistry between Tillie and Mack.
