What a fun and cute story! I loved Griffin and was so happy to get a lot of his internal monologue and thoughts. I thought that he and Emily clicked well together and were so cute. While aspects were campy (come on, just look at the cover), I spent a lot of time smiling, laughing, and just enjoying the ride. I will say that the book follows an insta-love storyline, but that actually didn’t bother me this time. I don’t know if it’s because Griffin just conveys his feelings so well or if it made more sense to me with this storyline.
The one thing that I always think during a time travel or ghost romances where they become corporeal again is, “WHAT ABOUT A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?!?! HOW WILL YOU GET ANY SORT OF JOB OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT???”
Tropes: insta-love, he falls first, knights in shining armor, lighthearted, low-angst

Luckily that is handled by the end of the book, so that was a relief that someone actually thought of that for the end of the story lol.Tropes: insta-love, he falls first, knights in shining armor, lighthearted, low-angst

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I had fun with this! My rating is generous because I have a soft spot for novels set in Chicago that are written by someone who clearly knows the city and surrounding suburbs, but the plot is fun as well--there are some laugh-out-loud moments even amidst some of the more tiresome "how does modernity work??" bits from Griffin. I wanted more from Jason and his secret society, but maybe that will be covered in a sequel...

This was a lighthearted paranormal romance that was clearly setting up more mysterious shenanigans in the future. Since part of the conflict focused on communication between Griffin and Emily and I couldn't help thinking that there were some plot holes in his misunderstooding of the world around him given his sentience throughout his statued existence.
Her Knight at the Museum follows Emily, an art conservator who has just gotten over her recent divorce and is looking forward to starting over at a new museum. When she is assigned to work on documenting and revitalizing a new statue, Emily is instantly enraptured by the historical knight to the point where she dreams of him at night. When she goes to work the next day, Emily is shocked to find that everything from her dream was real and she may be able to help him come to life.
This was such fun and quirky read! While a little bit campy, the romance and story were so sweet and humorous. I loved that Griffin was so chivalrous and bright, his reactions to modern life and love were comical. The chemistry between him and Emily was palpable, the contrast of Griffin's historical tone and upbringing worked so well with his unabashed desire for Emily and her love; the man was completely enamored. Overall, this is a very lighthearted and entertaining read full of humor, history, steam, and so many fun happenings; I highly recommend it!
