Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 had never heard of Deeanne Gist before the "Everything Old Is New Again" panel at RT, where she talked about how she had three books set at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and how Tiffany the Stained Glass Guy (son of TIffany the Fancy-pants Jewelry Guy) was making a mosaic chapel for display, and then his glassworkers went on strike and he hired women from art schools to do the glass selection and cutting and this book, Tiffany Girl, was the fictionalized story of one of those girls. Elyse and I grabbed each other's hands and went "I NEED TO READ THIS IMMEDIATELY" and then I sorta followed Deeanne around until I ran her to earth at the book fair, where I told her all of that and she declared me to be adorable. 
 When asked how her books rated on a scale of hotness from 1-10 (with ten being smoking), she said it was a 2 - there's tension, but the door closes and we don't get to see the hero and the heroine do the actual deed. That's an accurate assessment- there's a LOT of tension once these two doorknobs start to realize they have pants-and-other-feelings for each other, and it gets unbearable at one point, but the curtain is shut on the signed/sealed/delivered. That's 100% not a weakness, just a setting of expectations. 
 Ultimately, I loved this and chewed through it like someone was going to take it away from me, and I'm totally going to check out more of Gist's work. She writes specifically American historicals, which are kind of sparse on the ground lately, and are a refreshing change of pace from the English historicals.
