Rupert Carsington has been "shipped off" to Cairo, by his father the Earl of Hargate in order to (*cough*) help the British consulate... A month and a half later, after spending quite a number of times in jail _ some could say...NINE! _ disrespecting a few laws _ TWENTY THREE...but who's counting?...

Another older heroine, twenty-nine? Oh Ms. Loretta Chase you crazy adventurous woman! So the end of chapter one made me think of the movie "The Mummy" ooh I'm excited now. I'm so excited with the reveal of what the main plot of this book is about: brother who the world thinks is an Egyptian scho...

Mr. Impossible is an improvement from the first book. Maybe because there is much more to the story which is placed in Egypt and the storyline which evolves around kidnapping and rescue operation.

Still my favorite romance novel. As most of its kind, it suffers from some annoying tropes (most notably the "we're being hunted/are otherwise in mortal danger but your closeness is all I can think about" kind), but it stars my very favorite heroine and the best couple EVER.

I am already a HUGE fan of Loretta Chase (LORD OF SCOUNDRELS is one of my all time favorite HR novels), but MR. Impossible is something altogether different. I found this book to be a highly entertaining mix of action, adventure and romance. Daphne Pembroke is a pedantic scholar of dead languages, ...

3.5 really, I wanted to give it a 4 , but there was just something missing, not sure what though!I loved the adventure, especially since I have an interest in Ancient Egypt, the book had "The Mummy" feeling to it.

I admit I was very skeptical when I picked this up: the combination of “The Mummy” setting and a female scholar seemed fraught with peril of the wrong kind: strained, melodramatic plots, faux historical color, and an absurdly gorgeous woman with a pair of glasses meant to indicate she’s smart. I wa...
