During a time when legends were born 。 。 。

ENTWINED

A princess cursed from birth, a loyal knight worthy of being king, and a sword that can determine their destiny。


After growing up on a remote farm, Lis learns she is the rightful heir to the throne of Norvegia。 Even as she does her part to thwart a dangerous plot against the king, she resists pursuing her new identity and resigns herself to a simple life helping her elderly father with their farm。

With the king losing his mind, Sir Ansgar, the highest knight in the land, is desperate to save the sovereign he’s sworn to protect。 But before Ansgar can uncover what is causing the king’s demise, he finds himself falsely accused of treason and dismissed from court。

In danger of losing his life, Ansgar takes refuge on Lis’s farm。 Love soon blossoms between Ansgar and Lis, even as they realize a future together is impossible。 Yet they must unite to save the kingdom from ever-growing forces of evil。 Are their destinies entwined? Or will they be ripped apart forever?

The real story of Excalibur continues 。 。 。

Another 5 star wonder from Jody Hedlund。 She has such a gift of writing the most engaging, entertaining, suspenseful romance stories。 Entwined is wonderful。 I could not put it down。 The characters were introduced in the 1st book, Enamored。 Lis an Ansgar are entwined unexpectedly, both wanting so save the king。 Their journey is exciting, frightening and romantic。 The plot is so intriguing and well thought out。 There is a myriad of twist and turns, that grab your attention and won’t let go。 There Another 5 star wonder from Jody Hedlund。 She has such a gift of writing the most engaging, entertaining, suspenseful romance stories。 Entwined is wonderful。 I could not put it down。 The characters were introduced in the 1st book, Enamored。 Lis an Ansgar are entwined unexpectedly, both wanting so save the king。 Their journey is exciting, frightening and romantic。 The plot is so intriguing and well thought out。 There is a myriad of twist and turns, that grab your attention and won’t let go。 There are battle scenes, chaste passionate kissing scenes, deception and Christian historical references。 All make for a perfect storm for your entertaining, adventurous afternoon (or late night) reading enjoyment!

Entwined, Knights Of The Brethren, Book 2 by Jody Hedlund is a fabulous medieval Tale。 I loved the setting being in Norvegia a frozen northern country in which dragons still exist! There are wise men and knights, kings, a queen, and a couple of princesses。 Who are the good guys and who is evil? Ms。 Hedlund brings to life the story of Arthur's sword in an entirely new story。 Add in a few Bible references for a well-balanced story。 Lis and Sir Ansgar are a fabulous pair, I love reading about their Entwined, Knights Of The Brethren, Book 2 by Jody Hedlund is a fabulous medieval Tale。 I loved the setting being in Norvegia a frozen northern country in which dragons still exist!

Entwined'Knights of Brethren #2By Jody HedlundLis's true identity was revealed to her by Maxim just before he and Princess Elinor went into hiding。 Not seeking to lay claim to her heritage Lis seeks to thwart the threat to King Ulrik and Norvegia。 Sir Ansgar made an impression when they meet on the battlefield and is the Knight of Brethren she seeks out。But the treachery that is seeking to destroy the kingdom from within has set its sights on the Brethren。 And its first target is Sir Ansgar。Entw Entwined'Knights of Brethren #2By Jody HedlundLis's true identity was revealed to her by Maxim just before he and Princess Elinor went into hiding。 Not seeking to lay claim to her heritage Lis seeks to thwart the threat to King Ulrik and Norvegia。 Sir Ansgar made an impression when they meet on the battlefield and is the Knight of Brethren she seeks out。But the treachery that is seeking to destroy the kingdom from within has set its sights on the Brethren。 And its first target is Sir Ansgar。Entwined is the sequel to Enamored and continues the adventures of the Knights of Brethren as they fight to protect their kingdom and their king and maybe love along the way。 This is a medieval romance that is written for the teen reader who wants something different from the standard YA fare available while written so that older readers are still able to enjoy and delve deep into the book。 I really recommend reading the first book in the series as you will need the backstory to fully grasp and understand how we got to where we are。 Treachery is afoot and only those most worthy can stand in its way。I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but to provide my honest opinion ~ All thoughts expressed are my own。 。。。more

Absolutely love Arthurian Medieval series! After reading Enamored, I couldn’t wait to read Entwined。 If possible, I loved Entwined even more。 Full of suspense, action, tantalizing romance, and an amazing story that alludes to both Excalibur and Queen Esther, this book immediately pulled me in。 Enamored ended on a cliffhanger and this book picks the story up right where it left off。 Sir Ansgar is all that a knight should be: handsome, strong, brave, and full of integrity。 His highest duty is to p Absolutely love Arthurian Medieval series! After reading Enamored, I couldn’t wait to read Entwined。 If possible, I loved Entwined even more。 Full of suspense, action, tantalizing romance, and an amazing story that alludes to both Excalibur and Queen Esther, this book immediately pulled me in。 Enamored ended on a cliffhanger and this book picks the story up right where it left off。 Sir Ansgar is all that a knight should be: handsome, strong, brave, and full of integrity。 His highest duty is to protect the king。 Since the last battle, the wounded king has been acting strange。 As Ansgar tries to determine what’s causing the king to deteriorate, the very traitors he is seeking falsely accuse him of treason and he is forced to flee for his life。Living a quiet life on a remote farm, Lis’ life was disrupted when she and her faithful dragon Red were drawn into battle and she discovered she’s the long lost Princess Elisbet。 Overhearing a plot against the king, she seeks out Sir Ansgar。 The palpable attraction between the two is off the charts as each tries to deny their feelings。 Later, when Ansgar arrives at her farm wounded and near death, Lis does all she can to restore him to health。 With the kingdom in peril, they embark on an impossible quest to find a way to save the king。I loved the flirtatious relationship and chemistry between Lis and Ansgar。 Though there’s an undeniable attraction, their desire to do what’s right endeared them to me。 Favorite tropes of forbidden love and a fake marriage add to the irresistible romance。 And let me tell you, Jody Hedlund definitely knows how to write heart stopping clean romance, yet compliments it with strong messages of faith that are seamlessly woven into the story。 I loved the references to Queen Esther and especially this quote: “If I have the power to save the king and the kingdom from the control of one as evil as Rasmus, then Father is right—perhaps God has guarded and saved me for such a time as this。”From start to finish, this book was hard to put down。 The last few chapters were especially intense and I found myself staying up late into the night to finish the book。 It was well worth it! I can’t wait to read the next books in the series and see how things turn out for all the characters。 Highly recommend this fabulous series, but I would especially recommend it to YA readers。 I received an advanced copy of this book from the author。 All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review。 。。。more

AMAZING!!!!!!! Jody Hedlund is matchless at taking inspiration and recreating it into something absolutely unique。 “Entwined” is her latest masterpiece。 We follow Lis, who in spite of being raised on a farm, learns that she is actually heir to the throne of Norvegia。 Lis is completely content to remain on the farm, and that’s where she harbors Ansgar, one of the highest of all knights, because he has been accused of treason。 Can the two of them save the kingdom?

Entwined by Jody Hedlund is the second novel in the young-adult series, Knights of Brethren。 I am a big fan of the author’s other young-adult novels and was blown away with the first book in the series, so I was excited to get my hands on Lis and Ansgar’s story。 And much like the first novel, I was addicted within the first chapter。 Don’t start reading unless you have several hours to spare!I loved the clash of Lis and Ansgar’s equally strong personalities。 Lis, a fearless leader by birth but na Entwined by Jody Hedlund is the second novel in the young-adult series, Knights of Brethren。 I am a big fan of the author’s other young-adult novels and was blown away with the first book in the series, so I was excited to get my hands on Lis and Ansgar’s story。 And much like the first novel, I was addicted within the first chapter。 Don’t start reading unless you have several hours to spare!I loved the clash of Lis and Ansgar’s equally strong personalities。 Lis, a fearless leader by birth but naive to the ways of the world, is incredibly interesting in how she sees the world and lovable in her loyalty and willingness to put herself at risk。 I love how she tries to refuse her birthright to be queen all the while speaking to Ansgar with the authority of one。 (His response is equally hilarious。)Ansgar is a triple-swoon worthy hero。 A loyal warrior of the king, his strength, battle-focused mind, and unwavering allegiance to honor make him an all-around noble man, even if nobility doesn’t run in his blood。 I loved how it was Lis’s strength and leadership that caught his eye and not just her beauty。 Overall, this story continues the great adventure that started in the first novel。 The danger within the walls of the castle。 Spies lurking in every shadow。 Deception found close to heart。 Once you find yourself immersed in the king’s plight, you will not want to stop reading until you reach the end!Fans of medieval romance, historical romance will enjoy this story。 I was given a copy of this book by the author with no expectations of a positive review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

What a book, y'all。 What。 A。 Book。 I have come to expect amazing things from Jody Hedlund books, and Entwined was no exception。 It was such an awesome story that I may or may not have stayed up later than I should have (on multiple occasions) just to read more of it。Just like the first book in the series, Enamored, everything about this book was on point - the action, the suspense, the twists and turns I definitely didn't see coming, the romance, and everything in between。I loved Lis and Ansgar。 What a book, y'all。 What。 A。 Book。 I have come to expect amazing things from Jody Hedlund books, and Entwined was no exception。 It was such an awesome story that I may or may not have stayed up later than I should have (on multiple occasions) just to read more of it。Just like the first book in the series, Enamored, everything about this book was on point - the action, the suspense, the twists and turns I definitely didn't see coming, the romance, and everything in between。I loved Lis and Ansgar。 They were the best。 I loved how they were determined to do what was right, no matter what。 They worked so well with each other that I was beyond joyed when everything came together for them to be together。 Also, Rasmus is terrible and I just can't believe that guy。 He deserves a set down or ten。Thanks to the author for an early copy; all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Such an exciting new story by Jody Hedlund。 I loved the romantic tension between Ansgar and Lis。 And the plot was so engaging and fun。 Eagerly looking forward to the next story in this wonderful series!

Nancy

And the story continues! Who will be the one chosen as king? How is the king? Who’s the mysterious Lis? Sir Ansgar is tested。 Questions are answered, more are raised and the story of Excalibur continues with adventures, danger and mysteries! Such a good read! Definitely recommend this one, again no matter if you’re a teen or an adult。 I received a copy from the author。 All views stated are my own。

Wow! I binge read this book over Thanksgiving break。 I could not put it down。 This is the second book in Jody Hedlund’s new “Knights of Brethren” series。 I loved the first book, “Enamored” and loved “Entwined” just as much as it answered questions from the first book in the series。 “Entwined” also left me wanting to find out what happens next in the series。 I highly recommend this series and all of Jody Hedlund’s books。

I enjoyed this a lot! I think this is even better than the first one。 The beginning was a little hard to get into( a little too much physical attraction too early on for my taste) but by the end I was hooked!

You need to read it, the characters were awesome and I could not put the book down。 Entwined is a clean YA book inspired by King Auther。 I would recommend Entwined to 13 years and up, to those who enjoy fantasy romance。I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author。 All views expressed are only my honest opinion, I was not required to write a positive review。 。。。more

I have been looking forward to this story since the first few chapters of Enamored at which point, I knew Ansgar was a character I couldn't wait to know his story。 I had high expectations after Enamored gave me total book hangover, and let me just say, this book raised the bar for Jody Hedlund even more than I believed was possible。 I wish I had a larger vocabulary in which to give this book more justice, but since I don't, all I can say is this book was FREAKING AMAZING!!! It deserves some majo I have been looking forward to this story since the first few chapters of Enamored at which point, I knew Ansgar was a character I couldn't wait to know his story。 I had high expectations after Enamored gave me total book hangover, and let me just say, this book raised the bar for Jody Hedlund even more than I believed was possible。 I wish I had a larger vocabulary in which to give this book more justice, but since I don't, all I can say is this book was FREAKING AMAZING!!! It deserves some major praise for creativity, excellent suspenseful moments, and talk about SWOONY romance! Medieval romance fiction doesn’t get much better than this。 I just want to reread it all over again。 Ansgar and Lis all the way! I honestly am falling in love with the tale of King Arthur and his knights of the round table in a new and refreshing way reading this unique and enchanting series by Jody Hedlund。 The characters, the setting, the whole feel of the book comes to life on each and every single page。 I could not put this book down and easily binge read it in a matter of hours。 If I can recommend a must read, this is definitely it。 I am definitely looking forward to more to come and consider this a total reread kind of story。 The content is clean, with light Christian themes and some fabulous romantic chemistry that always stays PG while delivering all the feels。 I received an advance reader copy of this novel。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 I have preordered the paperback because I have to have this one on my personal bookshelf。 。。。more

Another amazing story from Jody Hedlund! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Hedlund’s books, and Entwined is another winner。 I feel spoiled getting to read two new books from my favorite author in one week (the other being Never Leave Me, releasing January 2022), but I’m definitely not complaining! Hedlund’s YA books are easy to devour—readers will be entirely caught up in the thrilling stories the author weaves。 There were a few unfinished plot lines in Entwined that I’m excited to see continued Another amazing story from Jody Hedlund!

I didn’t think it was possible, but this second book is even BETTER than the first! ENTWINED jumps right into the action/adventure for Ansgar and Lis, while still providing enough background details for those who haven’t read the previous book。 Loved the dialogue containing wit and wisdom along with solid themes like courage, sacrifice, love, and duty。 Finished the book within a day…it’s that addicting a read!

Always refreshing to read a tale of chivalrous romance。 (Some might be a tad concerned about the “curse” that threatens Lis, but today we’d call it a hereditary illness/disease。)Anyway, loved it and now can’t wait to get my hands on book three! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review with no obligation for a positive review。 These are my honest opinions and observations。 。。。more

Wow! This medieval YA romance has everything I have come to expect and love in a Jody Hedlund book: action-packed adventure, engaging characters, and sigh worthy romance! This book is not to be missed! I was captivated by this tale of forbidden love as Ansgar, the head of the king's knights, discovers that Lis, the woman he has fallen for, is actually the lost princess and heir to the throne。 Their journey to uncover a deadly plot against the king and escape those who want them silenced kept me Wow!

And the romance? Well, let me just say that NO ONE writes swoony but sweet romance like Jody Hedlund。 Trust me, my friends。 I loved that the series is based off of King Arthur and Excalibur yet Jody took the story and made it all her own。 I am not sure how I am going to wait for the next two books in the series to release - I need them all now!I received a complimentary copy of the book but a positive review was not required。 。。。more
