Storing Up Trouble

American Heiresses

De: Jen Turano

Narrado por: Andrea Emmes

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.

Delightful and quirky.

The final book in this trilogy brings the story of these three quirky and unique NY 400 friends full circle. Jen Turano did it again! She found a way to infuse humor into a story about love, girl-power and a time long past. I appreciate how she sheds light into the realities of life for women back then, giving me a renewed sense of appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy as women today. I also appreciate that she does not neglect to remind the readers of God’s love for us and how He can use interesting situations in our lives for a greater story and purpose we would’ve never imagined. This was a delightful story, and Andrea Emmes did a beautiful job narrating it. I could really picture all the characters in my mind. I look forward to what both these ladies have in store for us next.

A good, clean and entertaining story.

I have enjoyed all of Jen Turano's books. She does a good job weaving a little mystery with some humor to create a nice story.
The only complaint that I have is with three over-used phrases:

1. "What with" - If I had to count the times the characters said these two words together I would guess it would be in the thousands!
2. "That right there" - It just sounds odd to me. I could understand it if one odd character used this phrase, but it was not limited to just one, many of them used it. :(
3. "Too right you are" - I understand that people did use this phrase, but did they really use it that often?

Also, some of the other phrases and wording are much more current, so they don't ring true in the story.

But overall, I still enjoyed it. The narrator did a good job with most of the voices, though I was confused at times with some of the "Southern" accents, at least I was able to keep track (most of the time) of the characters.

Hilarious!

Hilarious! Think this is a new Jen Turano favorite for me, and definitely the best in the series.

This book is so funny, so entertaining. The witty banter, comedic scenes, and fast pace made it nearly impossible to put down (I stayed up way too late 2 nights in a row). Norman is adorable. I loved his brilliant obliviousness and his road of transformation. I loved watching him pair up with Theo in their scientific etiquette and romance research (the two of them were such a hoot!). There are great secondary characters, and even some secondary romances.

I will warn that this is more focused on the comedy than heavy relationship development or chemistry. Those looking for an in-depth romance or spot-on historical accuracy will likely be disappointed. But if you want to be entertained, THIS is your book 🤓

Though part of series, this can be read as a standalone.

Content:
There is no foul language or sex. There is some violence, but it’s not excessive. The romance is limited to lightly descriptive kissing. There is a light Christian message.

Trigger warning - a couple characters are abducted, but rescued

love it all From beginning to end

her novels are so entertaining with perfect blend of romance and comedy. So enjoyable !!

Delightful!

I have enjoyed many books written by Jen Turano. I intend to read them all. This one Storing Up Trouble, has been totally delightful! The characters are so much fun! I spent a great deal of time laughing in pure joy. The ending was perfect with many HEA endings filled with love and faith. Thank you for such a joyful gift.
