Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
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?

“This was definitely a unique story, and I, of course, enjoyed the magical elements of the book. I didn’t care for how instalove it was whenever Emily and Griff got together and thinking of sex like literally the second he became a man. I would’ve liked if there was maybe a little more build up and more chemistry between them.”

“It’s pretty adorable. A bit of a strange premise and the ending is a bit rushed. But what do you want from a romance where a medieval knight’s statue comes to life in modern day Chicago.”LizzzReads

“The fact that the spice started 35 pages in… woohoo! 😅 The ending was so satisfying the middle was a little unnecessary… no real plot to it after the first spicy scene but the ending was well worth the wait!”Kyra

“The storyline crazy. Also you’re telling me I’m supposed to believe that a woman that was married and got cheated on is ready to get married again less than a year later. But it had its fun moments.”
