American Heiresses book 3
by Jen Turano
-From Amazon- When Miss Beatrix Waterbury's Chicago-bound train ride is interrupted by a heist, Mr. Norman Nesbit, a man of science who believes his research was the target of the heist, comes to her aid. Despite the fact that they immediately butt heads, they join forces to make a quick escape. Upon her arrival in Chicago, Beatrix is surprised to discover her supposedly querulous Aunt Gladys shares her own suffragette passions. Encouraged by Gladys to leave her sheltered world, Beatrix begins working as a salesclerk at the Marshall Field and Company department store. When she again encounters Norman on a shopping expedition, he is quickly swept up in the havoc she always seems to attract. But when another attempt is made to part Norman from his research papers, and it becomes clear Beatrix's safety is also at risk, they soon discover the curious way feelings can grow between two very different people in the midst of chaos.

OK, that's more like definitely not! But that doesn't negate my sheer enjoyment of this rollicking good story. Storing Up Trouble captured me from the very first line. I laughed out loud, shook my head at the characters' antics, and did some thinking about the life and faith lessons that Beatrix and Norman must learn. | This Book received a 5 Bark rating. |
I've enjoyed every bit of the American Heiresses series but I took special delight in Storing Up Trouble. It lived up to my eager anticipation, and more, and I think it may be my favorite in the series. As a conclusion to the series this book was perfect but I'm just sorry to be saying goodbye to the characters that I've come to love. While on the topic of characters, I just have to mention two of my favorites, the stubborn Mort and the inscrutable Phantom. Those two stole any scene they were in!
From a train robbery to a famous department store, from behind jail bars to a dangerous rescue, Storing Up Trouble takes readers on a charming adventure of romance, comedy, and even a dash of suspense. If this spunds like it's up your alley you really shouldn't hesitate to check out the conclusion to Jen Turano's exquisite American Heiresses series...
