Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() She speaks a shitload of languages, half of them dead, is an encyclopaedia of Egyptian knowledge and somehow has made a bit of a breakthrough in understanding hieroglyphics, which no one has been able to do before. ![]() Somehow.ĭaphne Pembroke is the widow of a rich (presumably fat) old man whom she married at 19 because he was a scholar and she wanted to explore her scholarly passions. However, as the fourth son of an earl who is pretty much tired of dealing with him, he’s been sent to Egypt to “assist the consul” in diplomatic matters so that he can prove himself useful. He’s the kind of man that would have anyone in the family throw their hands up in despair and look up at the heavens wondering why they were forced to have such a child, even if he’s so earnest, and by God, he really tries, so they love him anyway. He’s a bit of a bumbling idiot, but he is smarter than he appears to be, it’s just that he seems to find himself in one scrape or another no matter what he does. ![]() ![]() Rupert Carsington is a bit of a loveable disaster. To start off, I will say this will be an incredibly biased review because this is one of my favourite books of all time, and Loretta Chase is one of my favourite authors ever. ![]()
