About the Book
After Miss Beatrix Waterbury suffers multiple mishaps due to her involvement with the suffrage movement, her mother decides a change of scenery is in order for her incorrigible daughter. Banished from New York, Beatrix is sent off for an extended stay with her Aunt Gladys.
Mr. Norman Nesbit, a gentleman and a brilliant man of science devoted to his work, doesn’t have time to be distracted with members of the feminine set. When robbers descend on the train, intent on divesting him from his important research papers, Norman is thrust into Beatrix’s company when she has the audacity to interfere—leaving him no choice but to try to save her from herself.
When Beatrix’s life is put at stake after her arrival and employment as a salesgirl in Chicago, they find themselves propelled into each other’s company again and again. With danger and intrigue dogging their every step, they become surprisingly drawn to each other—until information comes to light that threatens to crush this relationship that’s barely had a chance to blossom.

My Thoughts
I'm pretty sure I start each review of Jen Turano's books with, "This is my new favorite Jen book!" But it's TRUE! Every book just pulls me in a little deeper and makes me laugh a little harder.
Norman's unique qualities make him stand out among heroes. His ingenious mind, his quirks, and complete ignorance of what "proper etiquette" entails...just endears him even more. Watching his mind and heart open to his friends and family as he became more aware of the world around him made my heart flutter! (And oh my heart...Chapter 19 anyone?) Beatrix is an heiress in a class all her own. Prone to find herself in...interesting...circumstances, Beatrix has the chance to experience life in a new city and through new eyes. I adore her heart, her determination to see things through, and her loathing for injustice.
Storing Up Trouble is full of adventure and sprinkled with electrifying kisses. Prepare yourself to laugh, sigh, and hold your breath through this story.
"I always find it best to gather pertinent information about one's nemesis because you never know when such information might be useful."
I received a complimentary copy of Storing Up Trouble from the publishers as part of the author's influencer team. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
