In London, 1811 England's enemies are on their doorstep and
the Home Office is busy trying to capture the spies and thieves
stealing and selling valuable State secrets.
Rosalie Stratton is a female spy, known only as Asteria.
Her spy guise is a sexy yellow, low-cut gown, a blond wig,
and a silk, black mask that covers her face. Rosalie has
been out in Society for four years, but she has no interest in
marriage and rids any candidates swiftly and coldly. Her
only interest is helping to end the war in any way she can.
She can accomplish anything the male agents can and she
takes pride in her investigations, speaks six languages and
learned much from her now deceased father who worked at the
Home Office. The only thing she will not accept is the
criticism that claims she. as a woman can not be a
successful spy. The male agents think of her as a goddess
that has fallen to earth and would enjoy discovering who she
is and unmasking her. So far, so good.
Bradwell Garrick, aka Brody, and Rosalie were childhood best
friends and she was his Rosebud. Now, he is Lord
Rimswell, as his older brother, Poldie, was killed in the
war. Brody is heir to a large estate and also works as an
Agent for the Home Office. Brody is handsome, charming and
funny and a bit of a rake. He is very protective of Rosalie
and is never without advice that she always refuses to heed.
He has not a clue that she is the much sought after agent,
Asteria. Rosalie tries to keep her distance from him but
one night, alone together in the library, a flirtation
begins. He backs Rosalie into the wall and begins to
passionately kiss and fondle her. His actions are assisted
by Rosalie. They are interrupted by a member of the ton who
promises to keep their secret. The next day the rumor is
out and the only way to keep Rosalie's reputation, Brody
needs to marry her. Not only does he have a wife, he finds
his wife is Asteria. Now two agents begin to work together
to stop the treachery and find forever love.
Elizabeth Boyle writes a delicious historical novel filled
with spies, murder, kidnapping, and romance. Add a few
dollops of wicked sex, and you will be turning the pages
faster and faster to a finale which is the icing on the
cake. SIX IMPOSSIBLE THINGS is a sequel to Ms. Boyle's RHYMES
WITH LOVE. I have not read the sequels, but they are at the
top of my "to be read list." This glittering tale is an
exciting adventure into war ravaged England, with a colorful
cast of characters and a hero and heroine that you will
admire and love. Bravo.
In the sixth novel of the enchanting Rhymes With
Love series from New York Times
bestselling author Elizabeth Boyle, a nobleman falls in love
with a beautiful spy he must protect…
Lord Rimswell is a man of honor and absolutes. If he says
something is impossible, it is. Yet his life of right and
wrong is turned upside down when he finds himself in a
compromising situation with the most unyielding, yet
maddeningly beautiful, woman in London. If only he had not
given in to the irresistible temptation to kiss her. Now he
must marry her.
Miss Roselie Stratton is the very definition of
impossible—headstrong, outspoken, and carrying a reticule of
secrets that could ruin more than her reputation. Kissing
Brody is hardly the most ruinous thing Roselie has ever done
as a secret agent for the Home Office…nor will she let a
marriage of convenience stop her from continuing her work.
Little does Roselie realize that she has underestimated
Brody's resolve to keep her safe—for he has hopelessly
fallen in love with her and is determined to do the
impossible by stealing her heart in return.
