Her Knight at the Museum by Bryn Donovan
3.75
adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

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. šŸ˜…

The author says she took some liberties with ā€œGriffin’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.ā€ And that’s all well and good…but I don’t want medieval speech patterns invading my pillow talk (ā€œmeseemsā€, ā€œmethinksā€, ā€œmy lordā€), 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 think she’s funny *and* committed to her research. I’ll be interested to see what she does next!
