Critic reviews

“Gist takes intriguing historical facts and creates a world of fascinating characters, lighthearted moments, and timeless crises.” ( Romantic Times)

Loved the plot could not put it down

Where the story took place and the history was very interesting to me. I literally listened to this in two days. I wish there was a sequel!

Amazing Story Highly Recommendation

I’m a huge fan of Biltmore Estate and visit at least once a month. I love this book and highly recommended it. It’s detail and flow just ease you into the characters and able to place your self into the story like you are watching it unfold like a movie in your mind.

Inside The Biltmore

Loved this book, made me feel like I was inside The Biltmore! Sweet love story also.

Steamy

To be Christian Romance this author is very descriptive in the intimate moments between to two main characters. The descriptions could have been less detailed while still creating these moments. I would not recommend this book for teenagers at all.

Any additional comments?

This is such a sweet story. I love sappy, sweet, love stories. They just make me happy. When I am in a foul mood I know I can pick up a "love" story and just be happy. This book did that for me.

Of course it has it's frustrating parts, but that's what keeps me listening :). It's so aggravating listening too a book and knowing that the characters need to get together and they just don't see it. UGH...hehe.

Tillie has dreamt about being a ladies maid for years. Her mother has dreamed of it even longer than that. Tillie's mother prepped her for being a ladies maid her whole life. Tillie is a very determined young woman, and does all she can to take over for Mrs. Vanderbilt's foreign maid when she leaves. What Tillie didn't expect is Mack.

Mmmm....Mack. Handsome, yummy, sweet Mack. Tillie didn't expect Mack. She didn't expect to be drawn to him. She didn't expect Mack to be such a good man. She didn't expect Mack to watch out for her even without her asking. Mack is who all women wish for. hehe. Book boyfriends. HEHE. Mmmm.mmmm...Mack.

This story is so sweet. I loved the setting, the writing, the narrator. Everything. It was just what I was looking for. I love the LOVE story.

If you are looking for a sweet, historical romance this book is just the right thing for you. I loved reading about the house, the way things worked in the house. I love reading about it, but I know I never would have been able to live back then! Even if it gets a little aggravating at times.

Is there a way I can request a maid to match II???

Thoroughly enjoyed made to match! I am a huge fan of the Biltmore estate! I go there just about monthly. I seen the book in the bookstore and absolutely had to read it! I could not wait to get into the car for my commute to and from work as this is the time I generally listen to books. Often I found it hard to get out of the car in fact!!! I just wanted to keep listening!
I want to know more about Tilly and Mack Danver! I know it’s unlikely, but I’m crossing my fingers and toes for another book!

Wonderful Depth of Characters and Story Line

If you like historical fiction and a peek into the lives of the servants of the very wealthy, you'll enjoy this romantic drama. Great depth and lots of fun along the way. Enjoy!
