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 the ways of refined society, the resulting sparks threaten Tillie's efforts to be chosen as Edith Vanderbilt's lady's maid. 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...and their hearts.

3.5/4. Honestly, this was at a 2 until the last 30%.
The ending was great and I wish we got more of that plotline earlier on. However, overall, this book successfully avoided super annoying romance tropes AND Christian fiction tropes so that was good. We had an ambitious woman who didn't give up her ambition after she met the hero. That alone earns it an extra star.
This was a pretty cute book. I had a couple issues with the wording about the hero... he seemed a little too sure he knew better than the heroine just what she wanted, a little too quickly into their relationship. Iw as appeased, however, because they do spend time apart and she has the opportunity to decide for herself. A good read, not too difficult, and done easily on the Kindle app.
