Review: HEA with a real storyline.
Rating: 3 out of 5

I enjoyed the Knight and Maggie's Baby because Lisa Mondello showed that an author can write fantasy storylines but make them original. This story is a happily ever after tale if ever there was one but it is heavy on storyline with well written dramatic twists. I gave this book three stars because of Mondello's achievement of writing what turned out to be an incredibly modern adult,romance in an at times outdated juvenile theme of HEA fantasy. Mondello created a surprisingly deep love connection between Maggie and Jonah whose first encounter is a great opening scene of a chance meeting.I liked the fact that their relationship started out slow with them as friendly.Even though I typically do not read these types of romance novels I found the author's slower approach to romance in this book refreshing because when the two lovers come together the reader is given a more meaningful experience. Yes this book is a bit of fantasy,saved by a handsome prince but isn't that why a lot of us still read romance novels.However Maggie's character is not the typical damsel but a modern woman who does her best in a not so ideal situation.She is intent on not losing her heart to the royally wealthy Jonah,who despite his heart's disconnect is falling for her too. All around solidly written novel though I would have liked more backstory and supporting character development.
