STORING UP TROUBLE
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.
My Review:
Bwahahahahaha! There's nothing like a Jen Turano novel to lift a reader out of the doldrums and she's back with another wickedly funny, slap-stick rom/com. Witty dialogue, outrageous characters and absurd situations are this author's trademarks and she blends them all into the kind of hilarious escape read that still has me giggling.
Beatrix is a march-to-a-different-drummer kind of heroine. Earnest but floundering and prone to charging headlong into all kinds of escapades. Norman is an eccentric scientist who is just a little out of step with society. Their lives collide in a spectacular fashion and it's a maelstrom of mayhem from that point on!
Throw in a mystery and adventure and the result is outrageous pandemonium of the very best kind!

I just won this one on another blog and got it in the mail this weekend. I haven't yet read anything by Jen (I know, I know!). Do I need to read the first ones in the series or can I just jump into this one? I love the heroines name because it's a derivative of my own 😊
ReplyDeleteSounds like I'm in for a rollicking good time!
So excited that you will get a chance to sample a Jen Turano novel. This book can absolutely be read as a standalone. Happy reading!
