Her Knight at the Museum

Her Knight at the Museum

Bryn Donovan

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A centuries-long curse is no match for rom-com shenanigans when a medieval knight is brought to life in modern-day Chicago. Forgotten by time and abandoned by hope, Sir Griffin de Beauford’s existence stretches out before him. Cursed by a ruthless enchanter to see, hear, and think, but never to move or speak, Griffin suffers the long, lonely centuries trapped in stone…until an unexpected kiss from a fair maiden breathes new life into his soul—and his body. 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. But the modern age tries Griffin’s patience and pride, and Emily is a prime suspect in the investigation of the missing sculpture. In a complicated world, can they find their way to a fairy-tale ending?

    HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM is probably the most fun i've had reading a book in a while. from the first page, this book had me cackling, swooning, and kicking my feet in delight. the story follows emily porter, an art conservator working on restoring a medieval statue of a knight... except that statue turns out to be a very real (albeit cursed) knight and a kiss frees him from his prison. now emily has to figure out how to teach griffin about the modern world, all while battling her growing feelings for him and trying to avoid being arrested for art theft.

    this was such a fun time and i honestly cannot recommend it enough. i would read 10000 more books about emily and griffin's shenanigans!! i also really loved that it took place in chicago, which is one of my favorite cities. thank you so much to netgalley and berkley for the advanced copy! HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM comes out november 12.
