This
book had some laugh out loud moments. It
moved along quickly was an easy read and had romance, history, science, and a
mystery all mixed up together. What more
could you ask for! Fun reading about the
beginnings of Marshall Fields. They sure
didn’t pay much and the rules for working there I wouldn’t have made it. Fun read, I would recommend it.
I
received this book in the kindle format from NetGalley.com as an advanced read
copy. My comments and thoughts on this
book are my own and freely given, not required.
Description as found on NetGalley.com
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.
