This book was okay. Nothing special and not anything that I would probably re-read. It reminded me too much of the old harlequin romance novels that I could find in the back of my grandmother's closet. While I would read it, I never knew what I was going to get!
His cock cheered this information with a standing ovation.
Well, that's one of us who's enthused.
At first, I wanted to quit reading because the writing was poor. Then, I decided to sit back and enjoy the hilarity. Towards the middle, the hilarity subsided, and it was just a run-of-the-mill "romance" novel. The characters read their lines, and the sex was rote.

This is my favourite of Emily Bryan so far. I love that crispin isn't a well bred gent and grace isn't a lady but just very well to do people. I loved the book and story but my only issue is the ending. Their was no epilogue or real ending to other member in book like Mary or grace's maid.
Stroke of genius is a great historical romance that has a touch of humor and enough "ooh la la" to keep a secret smile on your face. I loved the characters, they each had there own personality to make them a real player in the book. I loved the build up of the book and was engaged to the end. Unfortunately, the end was a little too abrupt for my taste, but that didn't detract from the story as a whole. Stroke of genius is definitely worth your time.
The Pygmalion plot was a fun trope to explore, but there were WAY too many totally unbelievable plot bunnies going on. The half-brother bit was just excruciating, and most of the secondary characters were ridiculous rather than fun or lending insight into the main characters.
