    USA Today Bestselling Author, Tammy Andresen lives with her husband and three children just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. She grew up on the Seacoast of Maine, where she spent countless days dreaming up stories in blueberry fields and among the scrub pines that line the coast. Her mother loved to spin a yarn and Tammy filled many hours listening to her mother retell the classics. It was inevitable that at the age of 18, she headed off to Simmons College, where she studied English literature and education. She never left Massachusetts but some of her heart still resides in Maine and her family visits often.

5.0 out of 5 stars 38 PAGES OF AWESOMENESS!
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020

To say things happen at lightening speed is putting it mildly, but I loved it. It really is less than 38 pages because rest is promo for the next story. This is a prequel to the series so don't expect a lot, but it sets up the series nicely.

They only have a few words with each other but they clicked. What I enjoyed, this is a story about servants, the working class of the Ton. That is what the series will be about - so unique.

Since they barely have time to know each other's names, only kisses happen - so clean story. The h is young and wants something more in her life. She is only 22 and the housekeeper for the Duke and his family. The H is hired temporarily as a Stable Master. He is going to breed his Mares to the Dukes Stallions.

Short and sweet describes this story. (ljb)

This Regency Romance 💕 is a short Novella which introduces a number of characters who are all servants for the Duke and Duchess of Devon at their country estate🏰.

The main part of the story this time is about Abigail💃💋, the young housekeeper, who is actually a Vicar's daughter.

Abigail💃💋 falls in Insta Love💘 with Rex Ableman🐺🍆⛲🐎, a young man the Duke knows and has hired to fill in as stablemaster🐎 for the injured one.
The Duke is playing matchmaker!

I got this ebook from Amazon📚 with Amazon Free.

This story took less than an hour to read and ends with a lead in to the next book. This is NOT Downton Abbey, but it does concentrate the story on the servants, and of course, takes place a hundred years earlier.

3.0 out of 5 stars THE HOUSE OF DEVON by Amanda Mariel and Tammy Andresen (A Short Story)
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021

Actual Number of Pages: 25
Heroine: Abigail Frank, Age 22 (Position: Housekeeper)
Hero: Rex Ableman, Age 28 (Position: Temporary Stablemaster)

This is basically a very short prologue that briefly introduces readers to the multi-author series that takes places at the country seat of the Duke of Devon. It's a series of below stairs romances, which I thought was really unique. I've not yet read any of the stories besides this quick one, so I don't know how much I'll enjoy a set of stories based around those of the serving class, but I have high hopes nonetheless.

And though this was a really sweet and clean story, I'm not sure why there are so many positive reviews. It definitely wasn't terrible but is so short there was no time to develop either the characters or a real romance. Rex and Abigail both seemed nice enough, but their relationship moves at warp speed. Nearly the entire story takes place in less than a day, which includes these two meeting for the very first time.

In the end it was okay but nothing I'd ever recommend. I'm not even sure you need to read this prior to reading any of the other books in the series. On the other hand it's very short and only took me 20-30 minutes to complete. It's also free so you don't have much to lose except maybe a little of your time if you do decide to give it a try. And since so many others seemed to love it who knows, maybe you will too.

Length: It ends at the 76% mark on page 29 (starts on page 4) and location 352.
Typos: A number of them... I'm still not even sure if Abigail's last name is Frank or Franks.

Short but sweet, this prelude to a new series takes place in the mansion of the Duke of Devon, a home where servants are ordinary men and women who are not immune to the call of the heart. Housekeeper Abigail Frank takes her responsibilities seriously and her sense of responsibility towards her employer runs deep, especially as he had rescued her and her sister from horrors untold. When Rex Ableman steps into the breach after the stablemaster injures himself, he finds himself unexpectedly attracted to the feisty housekeeper. One can read this short story during a coffee or lunch break. It is well written and comes to a happy conclusion.

The introduction to a new series by multiple authors that will be outstanding!
A different twist with the emphasis on the Staff of the Duke of Devon and his Duchess. This first story is about Abigail, the head housekeeper and Rex Ableman, temporary stable master until the full time one could return. He was trying to build a business of breeding horses and the Duke was going to make that happen!

Short but sweet and only provided a taste of what is to come! Cannot wait!

This is going to be a very good series to follow.
I would class this book as the prequel, it has set the series up nicely for the next books.
The book is 38 pages, and covers a lot of ground.
The book was free on Amazon, I would class it as a must read before the rest of the series is read.

The characters, based on the servant class of the time, are an interesting mix. I will look forward to reading more about them, in the rest of the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Short Prequel
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020

I think this is going to be a very fun and different series to read and especially with all the good authors writing the next books. I enjoyed this story - everything happened faster that I like and ended much quicker than I like. It was still entertaining to meet the housekeeper, Abigail and the temporary StableMaster, Rex find instant love.

I think this short prequel is an important read if you plan to follow along with the series as this really sets up the location and characters for future books.
