Stilted dialogue, insta lust and very corny jokes. If the writing style was different, this would be a great plot.

Thanks to Berkley for the book and PRH Audio for the audiobook!
This book is Night at the Museum meets a romantic comedy, and it’s pure fun. The idea of a statue coming to life in modern-day Chicago is so unique, and the execution is even better. Sir Griffin de Beauford has been trapped in stone for centuries, cursed to see and think but never move. That is, until Emily a conservator at the Art Institute of Chicago accidentally breaks the curse with a kiss, bringing Griffin to life. (But also this was the part that I was like, girl haha)
From there, the romance takes off as Griffin navigates the modern world, wreaking havoc and trying to fit in with our society. Emily, dealing with the aftermath of a divorce, is hesitant on the charm Griffin brings but eventually wins her over with his kind nature. The book balances rom-com shenanigans with moments of real emotional depth, and I loved every bit of their journey toward finding a fairy tale ending.
