About the Book Palmer Girl 

When insurance tycoon, Cornelius Nordeman, is recruited to work for the Exposition Corporation, the New Yorker brings his family to live at the Palmer House Hotel, far away from any reminders of a recent tragedy. He’s hopeful this move will offer respite from his family’s grief.

Elizabeth Nordeman, his daughter, has something to prove, which leads her to seek work as a florist at Marshall Field’s, Chicago’s finest department store.

John Lewis knows something is different and intriguing about the new florist he hired. When his boss, Marshall Field, informs him that Elizabeth is the Nordeman heiress, his job suddenly becomes more complicated–especially when he finds himself falling for her.

On the eve of the Columbian Exposition of 1893, Chicago prepares to prove that it’s a first-class city, and the brightest minds from around the country will plan the most spectacular fair the world has seen.

The World’s Fair will bring change and innovation into a society bound tightly by class and tradition. Elizabeth’s heart longs to push against those boundaries, so what’s holding her back?

My Thoughts on Palmer Girl: 

Palmer Girl is the second book in a historical series, The Historic Hotels Collection, and is going to ignite your senses.  It’s full of great characters who grab your attention and don’t want to let you go.  

Elizabeth is an heiress.  The sole heiress to her father’s vast wealth.  And she finds that maybe it’s more of a burden than she cares to bear sometimes.  When she can’t handle it anymore she decides to get a job.  Yes, a job. 

Marshall Fields hires her as a florist and her life is forever changed.  But then her new boss finds out who she is and he finds that it makes his life more complicated because he’s fallen in love with her. 

Can Elizabeth find real love as she navigates her world?  She finds it’s hard to determine if they love her or simply love the money that will be hers.  

I really enjoyed this book and the era it portrays of the Gilded Age in Chicago.  And of course, the World’s Fair is a great time period to add to it.  I highly recommend that you read this and the first book in the series as well.
