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?

      While restoring a statue of a medieval knight for the Art Institute of Chicago, conservator Emily Porter could swear the statue is speaking to her. It is certainly true that Emily has been under some stress at work and at home, so could she be losing her grip on reality? It turns out that Emily is not imagining things. Centuries ago, Sir Griffin de Beauford was imprisoned in stone by a disgruntled, jealous friend with access to magic. With some assistance from her witchy coworker, Rose Novak, Emily bestows a kiss upon Griffin that breaks the spell and sets him free. Emily has dreamed of one day finding her own knight in shining armor, but can Griffin successfully make the transition from living in the days of yore to entering a world he never could have envisioned in his wildest dreams? Readers looking for a fresh and fun take on paranormal love stories will be smitten with Donovan's whimsical, witty, and wonderfully amusing romance.

      Arthurian legend meets spicy modern rom-com in this diverting contemporary from Donovan (the Knights of Manus Sancti series). Emily Porter abandoned her own dreams to support her husband—and now she’s trying to put her life back together after their divorce. A temporary conservator position at the Art Institute of Chicago is a good start and when she’s put in charge of restoring a statue of a medieval knight, she hopes it’s an opportunity to prove that she should be hired permanently. There’s something odd about the statue, however. Sir Griffin de Beauford was transformed into stone by a centuries-old curse. Though paralyzed, he’s able to communicate with his statue’s owners in their dreams—and Emily is the first person ever to listen. She reverses the curse with a kiss, freeing him. Donovan has a lot of fun with the culture clash between life in modern-day Chicago and Griffin’s chivalric sensibilities and flowery language (“You are the queen of my heart, and all the days of my life I will do you service where you will command me,” he tells Emily), and tosses in plenty of steamy sex scenes. Unfortunately, character development is occasionally lost in the mix, with little room for nuance as the plot careens along. Still, there’s plenty to enjoy here.
