Emily Porter, a recently divorced conservator at the Art Institute of Chicago, is charged with the restoration of a statue of a medieval English knight. Breaking curses was not part of the job description. And yet, here he is, the man of her dreams come to life, resplendent in shining armor as he joyously barrels into priceless antiquities...and goes on to dismantle her defenses, wreak havoc on her senses, and tempt her to believe once more in happy-ever-afters.

This romance, featuring the statue of a medieval knight who comes to life and the museum conservator working to restore him, was somehow both more ridiculous and less ridiculous than I anticipated. 😅

The author says she took some liberties with “Griffin‘s speech patterns, because if he really spoke like someone from the early 1400‘s, he and Emily would struggle even more to understand each other.” And that‘s all well and good but…

monalyisha …I don‘t want medieval speech patterns invading my pillow talk (“meseems”, “methinks”, “my lord”), liberties taken or not! So, the spicy bits didn‘t *quite* work for me (but I think they would have otherwise). Fortunately, the art heist bit really *did* work. I thought it was super fun! I‘d read more by this author. I‘ll be interested to see what she does next! 5d
willaful She has a couple of dark paranormal romances I liked. Sorry she gave up that series. 5d

Remember the 80's film Mannequin with Kim Cattall? Yeah, this gives off this same vibes. A divorced, nerdy museum conservator in Chicago breaks a curse and sets free a medieval knight in armor from being a statue. Now, a fish out of water, the warrior must adapt to the modern world while wooing the woman who released him from an evil spell in this light and spicy rom-com.

iread2much I do remember that movie and this sounds delightful (edited) 3w
