What he doesn’t expect is to have actual feelings for her. After all, he’s pretty obsessed with the thought. He assumes that if he gets her out of his system it will be alright. It becomes sort of a running joke that he’ll wax on about her and finish with the phrase “He wanted to get her naked.” He calls it “falling in lust” and is driven to a distraction by Daphne when she’s angry, when she’s sweet, when she’s going on about Egyptian hieroglyphics. Again, a lot of bad romance heroes are all “OMG I want you now because its love.” Rupert knows it’s lust.
He knows very well when he’s acting like a jerk but he’s going to do it anyway.Īnother place he’s genuine is…well his sex drive. At first its to get her mind off her brother, but then it’s because he genuinely likes seeing her fired up. One thing he enjoys is to act stupid to get a response over Daphne. Tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired with “laughing eyes” and a “too-sensuous mouth.” That’s sort of the added bonus for this guy, “He’s this and this and this…and he looks good too.” Personally, I like how genuine his behavior is.’Ī lot of heros act pretty jerkish but no one ever calls him out on it and the writer lets it slip by.

So of course, he’s kidnapped by treasure seekers.ĭaphne needs to save her brother. So her brother Miles is her public front. Being a woman however, her findings are looked down upon. Daphne is a widow and a brilliant scholar of hieroglyphics. Impossible is set in Egypt and revolves around the adventures of Daphne Pembroke and Rupert Carsington. I’m always really really excited to find a book I genuinely enjoy and I would reread this in a heartbeat.
Excellent plot, great characters, and a wonderful blend of fun and seriousness. If you’ve been wary of romances before, I would heartily recommend this. Not just a great romance novel, but a great book. Some of the books I have enjoyed least (Bitten, Eragon) have rabid fanbases. So every blog and their sister has recommended Mr.
