Lord Nick Folly edition by Emily Hendrickson Romance eBooks
I agree with the reviewer that stated that this story is pretty dull, despite having all the ingredients for a cosy mystery/romance. I wanted very much to like the book, since Emily Hendrickson has written many fine Regencies. But this is defintely not her best. The characters are boring and don't seem to have any personality. The story seems to be hazy and unfocused, filled with useless information in order to fill pages. Poorly done, Ms. Hendrickson.I hesitate to give it one star since I have not finished reading it yet. I am slogging through it because I hate to not finish a book. So it's getting 2 stars in the hopes that it will end better than it began. I can't believe I'm only halfway through. It seems like I've been reading it forever.

Lord Nick Folly edition by Emily Hendrickson Romance eBooks Reviews
I enjoy Regency romances but this one was not at all engaging. I found the writing amateurish and jarring - it seemed to jump from one thing to another without flow. I had to force myself to finish it.
Nympha Herbert had cared for Lord Philip Stanhope. Since he was happily wed, and it privately hurt her to see how much so, she did not argue much about having to visit her rich Great-Aunt Letitia's estate. En route she had an accident and help came from Lord Nicholas Stanhope, Philip's younger brother!
Even though Nympha and Nicholas thought of the other in terms of exasperating and annoying, Nicholas escorted Nympha to her grandaunt. He had been going in that direction anyhow, due to a murdered man being found on one of his golfing sites. Nicholas wanted to learn who the dead man was and, if possible, who murdered him. Once there, they seemed to like, or at least tolerate, each other better. Author Emily Hendrickson is one of my personal favorites when it comes to Regency Romances. She has never disappointed me before and this time was no exception. Characters' attitudes do not suddenly change, rather they slowly evolve. In this one I was able to see Nympha and Nicholas begin to silently reconsider their opinions of one another. The characters do not come across as air-heads or vain. (Well, except for Lady Anne, but I enjoyed watching what ended up happening with her.) I take great delight in recommending this novel to all Regency fans!
Of the (so far) three interconnected books ("Lord Huntington's Legacy," "The Ivory Dragon" & "Lord Nick's Folly"), I liked "Lord Nick's Folly" best. Somehow the characters and romance featured in this novel captured my fancy in a way that the pervious two books, excellent reading though they were, were quite unable to. Nympha Herbert, the vicar's eldest daughter, was the character I liked best in "The Ivory Dragon," so that I was really pleased when I discovered that she was the featured heroine in "Lord Nick's Folly." Definitely, this book is going on my keeper shelf.
When Nympha Herbert receives summons from her rich grandaunt bidding her to visit her at her Nottinghamshire estate near the town of Mansfield, her mother decrees that Nympha will have to go, whether she likes it or not. But truth to tell, Nympha is not at all loath to shake the dust of her shoes and go on a visit -- Lord Philip Stanhope, the gentleman she had felt a decided partiality for has married someone else (events chronicled in "The Ivory Dragon"), and the happy couple are now expecting a baby. No, it would definitely be good to be away from home and the sight of so much domestic bliss. But her journey meets with an unexpected twist when the carriage she's traveling in meets with an accident and she's rescued by Lord Nicholas Stanhope -- someone she considers to be the most aggravating gentleman in the world, and who also happens to be the younger brother of Lord Philip!
Lord Nicholas Stanhope had been in the middle of seeing to the final bits of renovation to his house when his head gardener informs of the presence of a body on his newly constructed golf links. Upon investigating the scene, Lord Nicholas discovers that not only was the unknown man murdered but that he was also murdered with one of his own clubs. The only clue to man's identity is a receipt from a haberdasher's at Mansfield. And in spite of the fact that no one suspects him of the murder, or holds him responsible in any way, Lord Nicholas has decided to make for Mansfield in order to discover who the murdered man was, and perhaps who murdered him. Rescuing Nympha Herbert was the last thing he expected to have to do. But, brought up to do the right thing, Lord Nicholas decides to personally escort Nympha to her aunt's home, even if he does consider her to be an incredibly exasperating young woman. How will this trip progress?Will Lord Nicholas and Nympha be able to put their biased feelings towards each other aside and so make amiable traveling companions? Or will their mutual antipathy prove too much for them?
Well, it's a romance novel, so no surprises as to what will happen here. I have, however, only dealt with part of the storyline. Quite a bit more goes on in the book, so that there is a lot more for readers to discover and enjoy. I think that this is one of Emily Hendrickson's better efforts. I liked that even though there was a murder subplot, the novel focused mainly on the developing romance between Lord Nicholas and Nympha. I loved that she allowed for this romance to unfold at a slow and steady rate, thus showing us how both Nympha and Lord Nicholas come to change their minds about each other, as well as how this very delicate and tantalizing romance progresses.
On the whole the novel unfolded smoothly and evenly; and most of the characters, even the secondary ones, were well depicted and portrayed. All except Jared Milburn (a somewhat mysterious character) whose motivations remained murky to the very end. In spite of this, I still found "Lord Nick's Folly" to be a terrifically fun and memorable read.
I agree with the reviewer that stated that this story is pretty dull, despite having all the ingredients for a cosy mystery/romance. I wanted very much to like the book, since Emily Hendrickson has written many fine Regencies. But this is defintely not her best. The characters are boring and don't seem to have any personality. The story seems to be hazy and unfocused, filled with useless information in order to fill pages. Poorly done, Ms. Hendrickson.
I hesitate to give it one star since I have not finished reading it yet. I am slogging through it because I hate to not finish a book. So it's getting 2 stars in the hopes that it will end better than it began. I can't believe I'm only halfway through. It seems like I've been reading it forever.
