Lady Polly Nicola Cornick 9780373291748 Books

Recently I was browsing through my local bookstore when I caught site of "Lady Polly" by Nicola Cornick. What first attracted me to the book was it's cover, it's breathtaking. I'm a fan of the Regency era, with the beautiful gowns and manners and so forth, so the cover immediately drew me in. Always a fan of Harlequin Historical Romances, I picked the book up and took it home for a nice read. What I found was a delightful novel, full of romance, intrigue and an array of interesting characters.
The book is set in 1812 in London Society. Young Polly Seagrave, age 18, has just refused the proposal of dashing Lord Henry Marchnight, the one man she truly loves. Instead of eloping with him, she turns him away. For the next five years Polly and Henry are apart, with only a few brief encounters in between. Polly, during these five years has turned away almost 20 suitors. But now Lord Henry has returned to London and his sights are set on Polly. Her mother, having recently married off Polly's oldest brother Nicholas, wants to sees to it that Polly will be married to a fine suitor, not the rogue Lord Henry. Henry, who's reputation for gambling and women, would surely cause scandal to her family. Her opinion though is swayed after Lord Henry rescues Polly and herself from a riot mob in London. This is not the first time Lord Henry has been to the aid of Polly though, he seems to pop up in the most interesting times and in the most interesting places. There are rumors that he is the wealthy socialite aiding a wanted felon. Could this man be the same one that Polly turned away so many years ago? And if so, is there any hope that they could be together?
I found myself completely entertained with this novel. It was interesting to see Polly see-saw her feelings towards Henry. And at times, you found yourself doubting Henry and his proclaimed love to Polly. If you're a fan of historical novels, particularly the Regency era as I am, you'll be delighted with "Lady Polly". It captures all the charms of London Society with it's Seasons and regal manners and homes. I look forward to reading more from Nicloa Cornick. One bit of warning to those readers looking for a good tumble in the sheets book, this isn't one of them. Like most Harlequin Historical Regency books, the love scenes are very discreet and not what most romance readers are used to. For me though that adds to it's charm. It shows that you don't have to use passionate sex to lure readers in.

Lady Polly Nicola Cornick 9780373291748 Books Reviews

Some books you can't put down, this isn't one of those. I found I put it down at the end of each chapter to savour what had happened and stretch out the pleasure of reading it.
This book is the sequel to "The Virtuous Cyprian" which was certainly in print in July 2000 as a Mills & Boon Large Print. If you get the chance read the other first as Nicola Cornick develops some of the characters over the two books and I personally find her characters to be one of her strong points. I think Lady Polly does stand up by itself if you can't get hold of the first book.
Set in London, and Suffolk, the book touches on some of the social unrest that is normally omitted from many regencies. There is however much mention of balls and other social occasions. Also smugglers, at least one elopement, secret staircases, gossip about whom is being pursued by a most unsuitable man, blackmail, and a heroine's mother who is determined that her daughter should be married at St. George's Hanover Square.
From the back cover of the Mills & Boon large print hardback edition....
Lady PolIy had rejected Henry five years ago, obeying her father's wishes. Meeting him now, on a deserted terrace, he stole a kiss, and as unexpected passion flared between them, Polly knew this time she'd follow her heart...
Sequel to The Virtuous Cyprian
I've read Nicola Cornick's Deceived (Hqn Romance),Kidnapped His Innocent Mistress,Miss Verey's Proposal and every single one of them has led me to reading them until 7am with red, bloodshot eyes because I just couldn't put them down! For some reason, this book was a huge disappointment after those! It was very boring. The copy I had had MAJOR editing issues. The hero's name kept vacillating from Henry to Harry and back....(it seemed like every other page!) It was amazingly bad! At first, I thought that maybe he had an alias as Henry/Harry because I just couldn't believe that there would be THAT many inconsistencies..badly done Harlequin! Get a better editor!

But on to the actual story..I find the main heroine very weak and boring.. Lady Polly (what a name, reminds me of a parrot) is just weak-willed and not worth fighting for. My 2 stars goes to the Harry/Henry hero. He is a great hero who is very devoted to her, though I have no idea why. Without the strong romantic/sexual tension between the two, this story just fell flat..something I did not expect, as every previous Nicola Cornick book I've read has been so compelling and interesting!
