Product Description

Review
"'wickedly witty, simply wonderful' Stephanie Laurens 'One of the finest romance writers of all time' Julia Quinn 'Miss Wonderful is a delicious pleasure; we can welcome Chase back with a rousing cheer and heartfelt thanks for a superior read.' ROMANTIC TIMES"

Product Description
Rupert Carsington, fourth son of the Earl of Hargate, is his aristocratic family's favorite disaster. He is irresistibly handsome, shockingly masculine, and irretrievably reckless, and wherever he goes, trouble follows. Still, Rupert's never met an entanglement - emotional or other - he couldn't escape. Only now he's in Egypt, stranded in the depths of Cairo's most infamous prison, and his only way out is accepting a beautiful widow's dangerous proposal. Scholar Daphne Pembroke wants him to rescue her brother, who's been kidnapped by a rival seeking a fabled treasure. Their partnership is strictly business: She'll provide the brains, he, the brawn. Simple enough in theory. But as tensions flare and inhibitions melt, the most disciplined of women and the most reckless of men are about to clash in the most impossibly irresistible way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loretta Chase back on top form, 27 April 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Mr. Impossible (Berkley Sensation) (Paperback)
Ms Chase remains one of my favourite romance authors. Knaves Wager and Lord of Scoundrels are top of the list of favourite romances. Now they are joined by Mr. Impossible!
What a fantastic story! The characters are great, the pace is fast, the dialogue funny, the chemistry almost palbable.
Set in Egypt during the early 1820s, scholar Daphne Pembroke is looking for her kidnapped brother and when seeking help at the English consulate has the assistance of Mr Rupert Carsington thrust upon her, the Consul being equally determined to remove Mr Carsington as he is in helping Mrs Pembroke. Mr. Carsington is known for not being overly blessed in the brain department and Daphne reconciles herself to the fact that he will provide the brawn and she the brains in the search.
Mr Carsington (the brother of Alistair in Miss Wonderful) is one of my favourite heroes, he is funny and smart (as the reader gradually discovers), easy going, good humoured,kind to animals; and above all; likes women.
If you have never read Mr Chase before this is a good place to start. I promise you will be hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining Regency Indiana Jones romp, 24 Aug 2006
By LEP "LEP" (Halesowen, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Mr. Impossible (Berkley Sensation) (Paperback)
"That man is an idiot." So says widow Mrs Daphne Pembroke of Rupert Carsington, fourth son of the Earl of Hargate, when she first meets him in a jail in Egypt.

Rupert Carsington is a likeable, aimiable, impulsive and reckless man, who attracts disaster like nails to a magnet. His father has sent him to the consulate in Egypt to get him out of
the way for a while. However, he's only been in Egypt for a few weeks and has already been in jail several times for flouting unjust laws and behaviour on the part of police and guards.

Mrs Daphne Pembroke is the young widow of an elderly clergyman, who has had her confidence badly erroded by her pious, prudish, jealous husband. She is an emensely intelligent scholar of classical languages and Egyptian hyrogliphics, in an age when women were not supposed to be intelligent, just be pretty and dim. Her husband was jealous of her intelligence and did his best to dim her zest and enthusiam for her studies, life and of course sex. Nice women were not supposed to like or enjoy it.

Daphne's brother Miles, allows her to pass him off as the scholar so that she can continue with her work. They are in Egypt so that she can try and crack the code of the ancient language.

Rupert Carsington however, is a different type of man than Daphne is used to. He may be a "blockhead" as she refers to him, but it doesn't take more than a few minutes in her company for him to realise that she is actually the scholar, not her brother. Rupert is emensely turned on by Daphne's intelligence. Infact, he's turned on by everything about her.

Miles has been kidnapped by someone who thinks that he has cracked the code of hyrogliphics and can lead them to a new rich tomb. Daphne seeks help at the British Embassy and the only man they have spare is the disaster prone Carsington. Just the excuse the consul needs to get rid of him - foist him off on Daphne.

What ensues is an adventurous hunt down the Nile for Miles. The series of adventures that the pair are thrown into, allows Daphne, via Rupert's help, to show herself at her best, as a strong woman. Her confidence in herself is restored and Rupert also explains her late husband's attitude towards her was his, the husband's fault, not hers.

Very entertaining and enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 31 Jul 2008
By SCS (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I actually borrowed this edition from the library. Having read Lord Perfect and Not quite a lady first, I knew I what I was getting into in terms of how this author writes and the likely plot.

I must say I was totally blown away, I loved this book, really loved it. Its not just your usual regency romance the setting of Eygpt is fantastic and the chemistry between the two characters is very real. I got very caught up in the story and their adventure together. In particular the main hero Rupert is a very engaging character who I found very humerous.

I am looking to buy my own copy, I loved it so much.
