An Excellent Read

What a delightful read! This is one of my favorites from Jen by far! They just keep getting better!   This whole series was just amazing. I loved seeing these three woman grown and find their passions and purpose in life. As always with Jen Turano there was a lot of witty dialogue that kept me laughing out loud. I'm pretty sure my family thinks I'm going crazy, sitting in my room laughing to myself!  I also loved how involved the mystery was in this story, and the surprising twists in the end!   Beatrix was a character for sure! All the incidents she got into, and the times spent with her aunt, was just so fun! Norman was the perfect match for her! The banter between them, perfect.    The conclusion to this series was wonderful, another delightful book from Jen Turano that will keep you smiling from cover to cover!  *I received this from the publisher for my honest review. All opinions are my own.*

Great historical romance

Having read some of Jen Turano's books I knew I was in for a treat with Storing Up Trouble. I was not disappointed. This is the third book in American Heiresses series and the author brings to light interesting tidbits about The Gilded Age in Chicago society and the women's suffrage movement, as well as some of the inner workings of Macy's department store as she tells the story of Beatrix. Beatrix is a young woman from the wealthy New York 400 set who's been sent to visit her eccentric aunt in Chicago. The story starts out with a bang as the train Beatrix travels on is held up by robbers and the interest is held to the end with other interesting and sometimes humorous scenarios. The author does a great job with her characters, making them likable, flawed and realistic. A spirited heroine with a pistol purse she's not afraid to use and a sweet professor-like hero make a wonderful pair for the romance even though it takes them a bit to realize it. The secondary characters are quirky and add so much to the story. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more from this author. Readers who like historical romance will not want to miss Storing Up Trouble. I received a complimentary copy of this book via CelebrateLit. A favorable review was not required, and opinions are my own. This review is part of a CelebrateLit blog tour.

Delightful!!

Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano is the third book in her American Heiresses series. Beatrix Waterbury is sent to stay with her eccentric aunt in Chicago. On the train ride there she encounters a group of robbers. Norman Nesbit, a wealthy scientist comes to her aid. This story was so delightful! It had me laughing out-loud so many times. Beatrix and Theo were a great pair. I loved the way their friendship developed throughout the story. Norman’s absentmindedness was adorable. I think this is my favorite so far! I received this book from the author for my honest review.
