Enjoyed this book but you’ll definitely have to have read the series to know what’s going on and follow all the characters. Would have loved an epilogue that tied up all the characters from the previous books. That would have been nice. (

This was quite entertaining with characters who oozed competence. Miss Roselie Stratton is frustrated with her life, her father was a key espoinage player and he taught her a lot, now she employs a disguise and has learned all the skills to survive in the game.
Lord Rimswell is trying to survive his brother's death and his inheritance of the title, his mother is having problems dealing with his brother's death and also with his life as an agent of the crown.
He knows Rosalie and also her alter ego (and it takes a while to link the two). The two of them have to uncover some nefarious deeds and find out the mastermind behind some treason and on the way find some interesting secrets and lies, and love.
I really was caught up in the story and wanted the characters to succeed in love and the mission. Good luck stopping Rosalie into the future. I found it a very satisfying read. (

I'm not quite sure that I caught was the six impossible things were BUT I did love this story of a strong, independent woman who insists on putting herself in danger to help the Home Office capture spies. If she had been a man there would be no question about her talents and she would be their top spy. Because she was a woman, people insisted that she could not work for the Home Office - she could not investigate, she could not do any of the things a man would do. Yest, she continued to do them.
It was delightful to watch her go about her investigation to the frustration of every man in her world - including (and esp.) her husband. Her insistence on investigating what she suspected puts them all in danger and yet, she is correct in her suspicions.
Elizabeth Boyle has done a masterful job of keeping up the excitement and tension in the investigation while working on the romance that blooms between husband and wife leading to a Happily Ever After for all involved. (

I absolutely adore this series! Elizabeth Boyle has such a way with words. The heroine is her own woman, brave and confidant. She has an inner strength that loudly resonates much to the chagrin of the men around her. She is blunt, fascinating and sassily charming. The writing speaks for itself and this may just be my favorite of the series yet! (

If you want to have an idea of what is going on in this, make sure you've read from #3 and on in this series, this is #6. I read #3 in 2014 and #5 in 2016 and I could barely hang in there as it was in the beginning.

This pretty much follows the mystery set up in the books I mentioned, one of the bigger villains is pretty much already dealt with but while the other books dispatched of him, they also hinted at someone else behind the scenes, this is all about the hunt for that someone behind the scenes.

I feel like I've been complaining about this a lot lately, just my string of luck with picking stories I guess, but our hero and heroine had a childhood friendship, we get no scenes of it. Basically, she already has found him sexy and wanted him, while he is waking up to the fact that he, too, has always wanted her. I missed watching and experiencing the development of attraction. (
