Grace Makepeace arrives from Boston for her first London season. In order for her daughter to attend the Ton's top galas, Grace's mom asks renowned artist Crispin Hawke to sculptor her offspring's hands while Grace prefers other lessons from the rake. He already drew her, his scandalous style having "met" her in his dreams.
Crispin is the prototype of the arrogant aristocrat while Grace is the brash Bostonian. However, his intellectual conceit means nothing to Grace who rips his skin for being so haughty. As they clash and argue, he sculpts and she writes her version of Pygmalian, they fall in love. However, each wonders why total opposites although strongly attracted to one another repel each other.
This amusing historical romance is a classic gender war tale of the irresistible force meeting the immoveable object; as the attracted opposites battle one another. Meanwhile their devoted servants Wyckham and Claudette also fall in love but their loyalty to their respective employers tested. Fans will enjoy the love between the Charles and the Thames as Grace proves Crispin the genius is a dope when it comes to love.

I know, you hear that a lot, but it is true with Strok of Genius. Crispin is the bad boy you can't help but love, and Grace is the good girl who just wants to be bad. Good thing Crispin wants to help her with that ;) The entire book was a joy from start to finish.

I've never read Emily Bryan's work before, but I read an excerpt and was really excited to check out the book. So I immediately ordered it and was not disappointed. I couldn't put the book down. This is a must read for romance lovers who enjoy steamy scences and excellent writing. I will definitely read more from this author.
