Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano
When you need a comedic break from life, Jen Turano’s books are just what the doctor ordered.
Storing Up Trouble is her latest and the conclusion of the American Heiress Series and here’s my review:
MY REVIEW
Miss Beatrix Waterbury has been sent to Chicago on a train to stay with her aunt Gladys and before she gets there, the shenanigans start when she meets Mr. Norman Nesbit.
I loved seeing Nesbit’s reaction to Beatrix and how at first they are at odds with each other. What a satisfying journey for these two characters and also such a wonderful conclusion to the series. The last chapters perfectly tied everything up and I turned the last page with a sigh of happiness. I do have to say that Nesbit’s mule, Mort, almost stole the show. Loved him.
Aunt Gladys (and her friends) provide a wonderful and quirky character and you never know what she’ll be up to next. This book is full of adventure, skullduggery, and romance. Everything I love in a book, with laugh out loud moments that are the cherry on the top. The cover is an absolutely perfect representation of this wonderful story. You just can’t go wrong with a Jen Turano novel.
I received an ARC copy of this book on Netgalley from the publisher. My opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK
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.
