Delightful.... don't rush through this one.........2007-06-30
I found this book was one to be savoured, like a fine wine, or a good dessert.. read a little bit at a time, mulled over, daydreamed about, and imagining myself being there in that story, in that time. What a delightful vacation, spread over time, read bit by bit.. each paragraph that painted exquisite pictures, meant to be relished.. aaaaaah. Thanks Loretta, i needed that! So glad i have my own copy, kind of like having this in my mental-emotional first aid stash, to revive me in times when i need it... you know, like that secret stash of chocolate etc etc.
Mr. Irresistible.......2007-05-17
Mr. Impossible should be re-named Mr. Irresistible, which is what I found Rupert Carsington from the first time Daphne met him, locked up in a dungeon, but still irrepressible. Come to think of it, Mr. Irrepressible would be a good title, too.
Mr. Impossible takes place in Egypt. Daphne Pembroke, a widow, is also a scholar working on translating heiroglyphics. But because nobody takes women scholars seriously, she & her brother Miles let it be known that he's the scholar and she the assistant.
The trouble starts when Miles purchases a papyrus for Daphne. He spends a lot for it because it's a beautiful specimen, he knows she'll like it, and neither of them has a head for finances. But someone thinks there's more to it, as the papyrus was purported to contain directions to an unknown tomb, and the treasure therein, and the only reason they can think of for Miles to pay so much for it is that he's finally deciphered heiroglyphics and can read it. So they kidnap Miles.
Meanwhile, Rupert Carsington, 4th son of the Earl of Hargate, has been sent to Egypt to be out of his father's hair, even if it can't keep him out of trouble. He's currently imprisoned for attacking soldiers who were beating an unarmed man.
When Daphne asks the English consulate for help finding her brother, the man assumes Miles has just gone off drinking or womanizing, but not wanting to upset the wealthy widow, he offers her Rupert's services, if she'll pay the fines to get him out of jail.
As I mentioned earlier, their first meeting sets the tone for the entire relationship. Daphne's intelligence, and Rupert's irrepressible good humor just shine. They play off each other perfectly--she initially thinks she's the brains and he's the brawn, but as the story progresses, his intelligence and her courage both come out, as they bring out the best in each other.
Daphne, who's always been told she's un-feminine because of her scholarship, and either ignored by men or chastised by them for her unladylike ways, is at a loss with Rupert because he does neither: he accepts her and listens to her. Rupert is used to being considered a magnet for trouble, but he also finds his particular strengths in demand.
The Good:
The setting--Egypt is unusual for a romance novel.
The adventure.
The humor.
The characters.
The Bad:
It's an easy book to look at with a cynical eye.
It is a niche book--if you don't like other things in this niche, like the Amelia Peabody books, or the movie The Mummy, you likely won't enjoy this either.
The Verdict:
There's not a dull page in this book. In fact, it could have been written with me in mind. I love stories with intelligent heroines, couples who become equal partners and respect each other, and characters who learn things about themselves. In addition, being a huge fan of Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody series, the Egyptian setting and plot was icing on the cake. I can't say enough good about Mr. Impossible, the second in the series about the Earl of Hargate's sons, the first being Miss Wonderful. I can't imagine how Ms. Chase will top this one, but I'm looking forward to finding out.
A must read for any Chase fan.......2007-01-07
One of her better books, this is a must read. If you like Chase then you will love this book. And if you have not read anything By Loretta Chase before, hen this is a great book to start with. I have read just about everything Chase has written, and those that I have not yet read, I ahve on my bookshelf waiting for me.
I NEVER give five stars. This book, however, deserves that courtesy........2006-08-28
Because such a rating is an aberration for me, I feel compelled to explain my reasoning.
First star - The hero has a healthy ego. He's not brooding, wounded, possessive or insecure. Instead, he is lusty (read this as constantly horny as hell) brave, has a keen sense of compassion and honesty, a wonderful sense of humor and the only fear he shows is for others. His respect, admiration and attraction for the heroine was a pleasure to read, and a wonderful twist. (Subtract this star if you need an alpha male who can only find his salvation through the love of a good woman).
Second star - The heroine is intelligent, steadfast, and vulnerable. Like most young women of her era, she was taught that normal sexual desires were wrong, intelligence in females was unnatural, and passion toward virtually anything considered a masculine endeavor was unattractive. Despite her background, she grows with the challenges she faces, overcomes her vulnerability, and she becomes who she was meant to be. (Subtract this star if you want a heroine who seems to be out of character for her generation, or turns into a blithering idiot once she falls in love)
Third star - Storyline. Yup, this novel has an actual plot, a beginning, a middle and an end. All the threads are neatly woven, you are not left hanging with a need to read the next installment. While other stories are available to read within the family of the hero (Lord Perfect, Miss Wonderful), this book is a stand-a-lone. (Subtract this star if you enjoy waiting months or years to find out how a story ends)
Fourth star - The romance is wonderful. The sex is as it should be. Fun, sensual, enthralling and it does not dominate the story. It is never unsettling, it never feels wrong. Descriptions of a kiss are just as vivid as the actual act, and written with such incredible -nice- passion, that it tingles the heart, not just the libido. Although the scenes were actually hot, there was an innocence to them that is normally missing in romance novels. You can honestly like these people, and want them to have the joy they physically find in each other. (Subtract this star if you are only reading this genre for sexual content, or prefer bodice ripping and pseudo rape to genuine romance)
Fifth star - Overall satisfaction. The story contains true adventure, really nasty villains, quick wit, heroic actions by both hero and heroine, character growth without the people behaving outside their own personalities, beautifully written landscapes, good secondary characters, true love, a good finish. This is a book you would enjoy reading a second and third time, a book you would happily recommend to a friend, and a book you would not feel embarrassed about if read by your husband or significant other. (Subtract this star if you believe romance novels are not -real- literature, and you believe The Da Vinci Code is. Yes, I will admit that I too would prefer a book cover that does not scream Romance Novel to fellow passengers on a plane, but genre snobbishness was beaten into me as a child, and I'm trying to overcome it. Besides, I really didn't like the Da Vinci Code.)
Yes, I was reminded of The Mummy. I was also reminded of Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters (another favorite novel). All had a brave hero, a spunky and intelligent heroine, Egypt of the past and wonderful adventure. All three are fresh, all three have their own stamp of originality, and all three are HIGHLY recommended.
My Favorite.......2006-08-15
This is the one book that inspires me to write a review. The plot is already outlined in the previous reviews; so, it is redundant to do so again. So to save anyone who is reading this time: just let me say that the description of Egypt at that time draws you into the plot. You can imagine yourself baking in the sun, watching crocs swim, immersed in a culture so strange to your own.
The true reason this book rates so high in my view are the character sketches of the two main characters. He tries to portray a bumbling insensitive he-man, she tries to remain a self-disciplined intellectual. But, they see something in each other outsiders cannot see. He recognizes her 'goddess scent'; she recognizes his hidden intelligence. They do not say 'I love you' every other line. They say 'miss you' as if they truly do and are afraid the other will disappear.

A Page Turner.......2001-06-30
Back in college I got a job as a summer janitor at the local elementary school. One of the things I had to do was clean up in the library. I took this time as an opportunity to catch up on some reading... in the form of the Mr. Men series. Mr. Impossible is the story of a man who can do it all. Assuming you define all as things that you can't do. He will delight and entertain with his antics!

Fortunately, the Wonder Woods friends are always around to help each other work out their feelings. In this compilation of four beloved tales, kids will discover that fear can be either a friend or a foe; worrying about things that might happen makes us miss out on all the fun; talking about our sad feelings with our friends helps us feel better; and learning to control our anger helps us get along better with others.

Customer Reviews:
An entertaining story is missing.......2002-12-14
The authors had a good idea with this topic, but the stories are not engaging. The characters are not well-developed and the story is basically missing. Children this age (4-7) really need a story that is going to hold their attention. Also, there are many words per page, and the pictures are not detailed enough to capture children's interest while the adult reads through all the words. I think there must be other books which do a better job of discussing fears and worries without being so laborious and uninteresting.
Charming Help With Emotions.......2001-10-22
What an enchnanting selection of stories! This beautifully-illustrated book helps kids 4-9 appreciate the emotions adults sometimes term as "bad" or negative--fear, worry, anger, and sadness.
The charming forest characters work through their emotions in healthy ways, demonstrating positive skills for coping with difficult feelings. An excellent choice for parents and teachers who want to help their younger children develop healthy expressions for emotions.
Book Description
Much of the county lies under the iron rule of the Royal Forest laws, with all hunting reserved to the King. The penalty for killing a deer is mutilation or death, and these harsh laws are rigorously upheld by the King’s foresters, notorious for their greed and corruption. In June 1195, a horse gallops into the sleepy village of Sigford, the broken shaft of an arrow protruding from its rider’s back. The embroidered badge sewn on the dead man’s tunic identifies him as a senior officer of the Royal Forest. With the victim’s purse still full of money, the motive for murder is a mystery. But when a second forest officer is violently attacked, county coroner Sir John de Wolfe begins to uncover evidence of a sinister conspiracy.
Customer Reviews:
Good writing is always enjoyable.......2007-02-12
I am selective, even in my non-academic reading. If you like history and a good mystery, then like Jecks, Knight's mystery novels are always worth the time.
Prosaic and prolix, but authentic.......2006-04-16
Did you know that the Woodmote was a court that dealt with offences against the vert amounting to less than four pence, whereas larger vert offences and those against venison were dealt with by the Forest Eyre? Well, you will do after reading this novel, because the author tells you several times. As always, Knight packs plenty of history and very little mystery into this Crowner yarn. Much of the dialogue is stilted and unnatural, sounding like a history lecture. The trick in historical fiction is to be authentic without the authenticity being obtrusive, a trick that Knight has not mastered. Nor is he unfailingly accurate, despite his obviously meticulous research. The term 'rogering' is certainly anachronistic, and I'm not sure that 'goodwife' was current at the time, either.
This is an adventure story rather than a mystery. It is therefore in the tradition of Ivanhoe, but without Scott's poetry. The subplot involves complications in the hero's extramarital affairs, and this aspect of the story is surprisingly well done, leading to a very poignant finale.
These novels are prone to misprints, which is annoying. Thus we have a character who is fighting for his life and we are told "...it was killed or be killed". Well, I suspect it was actually "kill or be killed", but it's a great way to break the tension in a fight scene. I spotted a dozen or more such mistakes, including one sentence which had become garbled beyond all comprehension.
As always, Knight draws out scenes that most writers would deal with more succinctly, and so devotes 410 pages to what could have been related in less than 300.
This series will appeal to lovers of historical fiction who value authenticity and character depiction rather than literary prose or twists and turns in the plot. If you are new to the series and would like to try it, start with the first, The Sanctuary Seekers, because the novels form a continuous narrative.

Book Description
Courage takes a mouse on a wonderful journey
I had always been afraid of the forest, that dark and unknown
place at the farthest edge of my little world. At night I often dreamed of it and woke chilled with fear. The fear was there in the day, too, hidden inside me no matter what I did or where I went. One night the fear pressed so heavily on me that I could bear it no longer.
So begins a journey of discovery for a brave little mouse who decides he must leave the safety of home to explore the forest. The world he finds is not at all what he expected.
With luminous illustrations and graceful prose, The Forest broadens the reader’s world, speaking eloquently and reassuringly to every child who has ever felt afraid of the unknown.

The Joy of Discovery............2002-11-18
"I had always been afraid of the forest, that dark and unknown place at the farthest edge of my little world..." So begins Claire Nivola's eloquent little story of a mouse who conquers his fear, leaves the safety of his home and village, and discovers the wonders of the beautiful world around him. Mouse bravely sets out one morning on the adventure of a lifetime, walking down the country road on his long journey to the forest. "I stepped inside the forest, between two pillar trees that stood like a gateway." His heart pounded, and the unfamiliar sounds terrified him. Running for cover, the little mouse tripped and fell. "When I opened my eyes, my nose was deep in moss, a forest of tiny trees, as soft as feathers. The sunlight was raining down through the leaves and warming my back. A sweet breeze stirred my fur." The forest wasn't really frightening, just new and unknown..... Ms Nivola's engaging text is joyous and lyrical, and complemented by her elegant and detailed illustrations. Together word and art paint a captivating portrait that's heartwarming, gentle, and reassuring. Perfect for cuddling up and reading aloud, The Forest makes a soothing and cozy bedtime story that's just right for youngsters 3-7. "I listened. All around me a million leaves whispered and rustled gently. I rolled over and, for the first time, looked up. High above, I saw the sky. The sky was bigger than the forest, bigger even than my fear had been, bigger than everything. I lay there-a speck in this enormous beauty-until the light began to fade..."
I'd Give This 5 Stars But I Don't Think Kids Will.......2002-09-28
This is a beautiful picture book with charming, expressive illustrations filled with details. It tells the tale of a little mouse whose village is at the edge of a great forest. He is very frightened of the forest and imagines that all kinds of dangers are concealed there. One night he gets tired of being afraid and faces his fear and discovers great beauty. This story is told in the first person and uses some words that might be difficult for little ones like looming, devoured, murmuring, headlong, pillars (to describe trees). However, using uncommon words helps to expand a young one's vocabulary so that in itself is not really a problem just an observation. I think what might make this book unappealing to little ones is that it takes place deep within the mouse. He reflects on his fears in a mature way, decides to deal with those fears, goes off to the forest alone still grappling with the fears, the fear reaches a crescendo then in the majesty of the forest he contemplates his place in the Universe and finds tranquility. The text is poetical and I was moved by this peacefully thoughtful book but I think the concepts are too much on the inner plane to interest a child. This would actually make a great gift for a teen going off to college or moving away for the first time, or for a friend embarking on a new career, but it's too deep for little children to enjoy on their own. A parent will really have to explain and dialogue a lot about this book and in that case they might as well dialogue in their own words about facing fears and then choose a fun story for their children.
A gentle treasure.......2002-07-30
There are really very few picture books each year that are truly wonderful, but I think this is one of them. "The Forest" is in many ways a subtle and quiet book, but its simple plot is one that kids can easily relate to. Told in a first-person narrative, the book tells of a mouse living in a little town who is afraid of the forest. One day he decides to face his fear, and so leaving the cosy home and town, he ventures towards the looming woods. When at last he enters them, he is scared stiff but soon realizes that he really had little to fear except fear itself. The message is thus a very positive one about facing our imaginary fears. Adults as well as children will appreciate the beautiful, detailed, moody paintings that illustrate the story; they show just enough menace to make mouse's fears seem real, but not so much that they are actually scary. The pacing of the story is excellent. Simply put, this book does everything it sets out to do very well.
A most enchanting and delightful storybook for young readers.......2002-05-17
The Forest is a superbly presented, full color picturebook about a brave young mouse who dares to leave his safe, comfortable home to explore the surrounding forest. Within, he finds grandeur and natural beauty splendidly captured in the heartfelt and wondrous artwork. Written and illustrated by Claire A. Nivola, The Forest is quite strongly recommended as a most enchanting and delightful storybook for young readers.

Fires, Fights, and Two Teenage Boys!
What do they have incoming? Well, you will soon find out if you read "Inferno of Fear" by Franklin W. Dixon. As Frank and Joe Hardy the main characters who play their role excellent from the beginning to the end of every book in the series. As the plot unfolds around their wilderness adventure through Alaska's Denali National Park they can sense another mystery approaching. The two-week trip then turns out to be much longer that they planed on. With a hike to a lookout of Mount McKinley turning explosive and the radiating heat with the ability to singe the hairs on the back of a persons neck in one second. Then burst into flames the other and start the 16th forest fire in a row from the past 3 months. Later you get to find out about helicopter crashes, smoke jumpers, and much, much, more. Even the sentence fluency is incredible with this story as it has the ability to paint pictures with the most common words that are used in everyday conversation. "Joe grabbed Alex under the water and surfaced with him in a swirl of blazing branches and splintered boards. The massive old evergreen hissed in the buckled wreckage of the dock." Pg. 11 That's only the beginning of the story and trust me it get better. With the suspense of the story taking you up and down over all a believe that once you pick it up, you have a hard time trying to find a stopping point that will not leave you hanging. As my self only was ably to find one point and read it in two pushes over two days. If you love mysteries and adventure do a twofer and put them together. The Hardy Boys is what you will come up with.

Seventh Book in the Crowner John Series.......2006-12-17
Bernard Knight, or to give him his correct title, Professor Bernard Knight, CBE, was a pathologist to the Home office until 1980 when he was appointed Professor of Forensic Pathology at the University of Wales College of medicine, 1980. He has written the extremely successful Crowner John series of medieval mysteries, of which there are now ten or eleven books, His character Crowner John is certainly among my favourite characters in medieval mysteries.
In 12th century England much of the country lies under the rule of the Royal Forest Laws, with all hunting reserved for the King. When times are hard the ordinary villagers may well turn to poaching to boos their meagre larder, but the penalties are harsh and almost always upheld. The penalty for killing a deer on the King's land is mutilation or death and the laws are upheld by the King's foresters.
When a horse gallops into the village of Sigford, and its rider is being dragged along by the stirrup, with a broken arrow shaft sticking out of his back and the wearing the uniform of a senior forester there are any number of people who may have had cause to hate the man to such a degree that they would take his life. However when a second forester is attacked Sir John decides that there is something far more sinister than just a grudge killing and begins to uncover evidence of something far more sinister. And why is John's brother-in-law, the sheriff, Sir Richard de Revelle, a staunch supporter of Prince John taking such an interest in the attacks?
