The Chicago Worlds Fair came once and last six months. The novel, It Happened at the Fair has come once and I wish it would have lasted me those six months!

From first chuckle to last sigh, this novel made my five-star book shelves and my favorites for 2013. Sweetly romantic, sassy and charming, I couldnt have loved spending time with these characters more.

I dont think you could have a richer in culture and history setting than the Worlds Fair. There arent many books out there set in this period and it was fun to step into this world created by so many ingenious minds.

Our characters in Cullen and Della are captivating. To watch their dance of avoidance and falling in love, that tension that only comes from truly wanting and loving something you cant have made the pages irresistible to stop turning. Its one of those stories, you dont skim. At all.

With historical depth, romantic symmetry and snappy dialogue, a story world has been created that made this reader ever so eager to spend all the time I could there. Its just too bad each page takes you closer to the end. Highly recommended historical romance reading!

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Litfuse for my copy to review.
