During a time when legends were born 。 。 。

ENRICHED

A wealthy noblewoman with a heart of gold, a wounded knight closed off to love, and the sacrifices for a chalice that can bring healing。


Lady Karina lives in a convent and expects to become a nun someday。 When her wealthy father asks her to help his textile business become more successful by marrying one of the popular Knights of Brethren, Karina complies, ever the dutiful daughter。

During a royal quest to find the sacred chalice, Torvald is called home to save his family’s estate through an arranged marriage to a wealthy maiden。 Although willing to do his duty, he’s vowed never to give his heart to anyone after watching his father suffer heartbreak over a woman。

As Torvald weds the kind and lovely Karina, he resists the pull of attraction to his bride。 Even though Karina feels the sting of Torvald’s rejection, she chooses to love him unconditionally。 As he resumes his search for the chalice and puts his life in jeopardy, Karina makes the ultimate sacrifice for him。 Will he have the chance to love her in return before it’s too late?

The real story of the Holy Grail continues 。 。 。

I have to say, I think this is my favorite book so far of this series!! Jody Hedlund does a great job on the descriptions of the character’s depth and emotions for both Torvald and Karina! This was a great read。

Will Karina’s sacrifice be worth it at the end?This was a beautiful and touching medieval love story! It has become one of my favorites as it portrays in a very inspiring way what unconditional love truly is and what a treasure it is to find it。 Karina was a wonderful character and a great example of unconditional and selfless love; she was so innocent, but her naivety was not silly or superficial, it was humble。 She was unaware of how beautiful and kind she was, and that made her all the more appealing to Torvald。 I loved that she was chatty, completely opposed to Torvald, who was a man of few words。 She was guileless, which made her sweeter even。 Her love was truly selfless and unconditional, because she understood Torvald’s difficulty to give out his whole heart because of his father, and she didn’t push him。 She did trry to win his affection, but in a gentle way。 And the most impressive of all was her willingness to let him free in order to save his life。 It reminded me of Jesus sacrifice of giving His life so that we could live。 Karina wasn’t required to sacrifice her life, which she would have, but to sacrifice what she loved most, Torvald。 And that made her love more pure and greater。Torvald was a swoon worthy hero。 He was loyal and protective to the core。 And he was also willing to slay dragons for Karina。 He, in fact, put himself in grave risk to save her from the Jotunn。 He was courageous and brave, with a great love for his people and kingdom。 But when he fell for Karina, against all his better judgement, he did it really deep。 His love became selfless too。 And I loved the way he learns to forgive his father’s mistakes。 A beautiful story of redemption。 Karina’s kindness also helps Torvald’s father in regaining his strength and purpose。The plot had lots of adventure and danger and it was fast paced。 The mystery of the Jotunn kept me captivated。 And the quest for the search of the Sacred Chalice and its healing properties made the story so compelling!All in all, a fantastic love story, that I recommend for young adults and for old adults too! It will warm your heart!I received a complimentary copy from the author but wasn’t required to post a positive review。 This is my honest and unbiased opinion。 。。。more

Lady Karina is beautiful and wealthy, but it is her kindness that is like a magnet for Torvald。 Hedlund uses the classic trope of 'a marriage of convenience' to add interest, and I was swept away by the compelling romance that evolves from their union。 This is Christian fiction so there is nothing explicit but oh, my, the kisses are to die for! Enriched also has adventure, danger, and the continuing search for the Holy Grail, along with a light mystery surrounding Torvald's home。If you're looking for heart-pounding adventure, heartfelt sentiments, and breathtaking romance, grab a copy of Enriched and prepare to be swept away!I received an advanced copy from the author。 There was no obligation for a positive review, and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts。 。。。more

As a reader who normally steers away from royalty tropes, I absolutely LOVED Jody Hedlund's Enriched! If I do end up reading medieval type books, Jody Hedlund is always my top choice。Enriched was such a great romance between Torvald and Karina。 I loved their first meeting one-on-one, and I loved how Torvald couldn't help but fall for the selfless Lady Karina。 Torvald believes love weakens a man, but his peers say otherwise, and watching him war with himself over this was so fun。I definitely reco As a reader who normally steers away from royalty tropes, I absolutely LOVED Jody Hedlund's Enriched!

I did enjoy this book, and I think it might be Jody Hedlund's best series yet。 I quickly managed to get over my initial issues about moving the Arthurian Legends from my country (I'm British) to a fantasy Scandinavian setting。 What I enjoyed most was probably Thorvald (I want to call him Thorvald), and his character development。 I also liked the interpretation of the Holy Grail and how it was worked into the story。 However。。。 I think I liked the last book Ensnared more。 The worldbuilding and cha I did enjoy this book, and I think it might be Jody Hedlund's best series yet。 I quickly managed to get over my initial issues about moving the Arthurian Legends from my country (I'm British) to a fantasy Scandinavian setting。 What I enjoyed most was probably Thorvald (I want to call him Thorvald), and his character development。 I also liked the interpretation of the Holy Grail and how it was worked into the story。 However。。。 I think I liked the last book Ensnared more。 The worldbuilding and characterization seemed stronger in that one。 Karina seems oddly familar somehow, a lot like some of Mrs Hedlund's previous characters。 I was a bit annoyed by a couple of inexpicable mistakes and inconsistencies too。 Eating with forks in a Medieval setting is one of my pet peeves, since table forks weren't a thing then。 This mistake hasn't ever been present in any of this author's other works (that I can remember) so I'm not sure how it got into this one。 That's only a minor thing which didn't really detract from the story though。 I would certainly recommend this to any lover of Fairytale or Legend retellings and I will be reading the rest of the books in this series。 Disclosure of Material Connection: I recieved a copy of this title as a member of the Review Crew。 This did not influence my opinions which are entirely my own。 。。。more

This book was enriching to me as it discussed forgiveness, hanging on to old anger and feeling unwanted。 I related to this book so much as I had the same relationship with my father and mother as my Torvald and Karina had with their parents。 However, Karina and Torvald found that they enriched each other as they got to know one other。 This book gives closure to other books in the series。 It will enrich your life by reading it。 Make sure to read all the books in the series。

I love grumpy/sunshine and marriage of convenience tropes and this book combines the two brilliantly。 There’s also messages of faith, forgiveness, and loving unconditionally beautifully woven into the story。Called back home from his quest for the sacred chalice, Torvald enters into a marriage of convenience to rescue his father’s failing estate。 When he finally meets his bride, he’s surprised at her absolute beauty both inside and out。 Though he feels a fierce attraction, Torvald has seen what loving a woman did to his father and he refuses to open his heart。 He wants to leave as soon as possible to continue the king’s quest and also avoid his growing feelings。 When Karina joins him and is willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice, will it be too late to admit his love? Karina is the epitome of kindness。 She’s selfless, thoughtful, and tenderhearted。 Feeling often forgotten or in the way, she’s spent the last few years in a convent believing she’ll become a nun until her father asks her to marry to improve their family’s business and status。 Not cut out for the convent life, she’s willing to marry the knight all the other novices swoon over。 Torvald is more handsome than she could imagine。 She sees the good in him even though his feelings towards her tend to run hot and cold。 She thinks if she continues to love him unconditionally, she can eventually win him over。 But, how much is she willing to sacrifice to win his love? I loved the romance between Karina and Torvald。 Grumpy, Darcyesque characters are my favorite and Torvald is one of those brooding, passionate heroes you can’t help but love。 He constantly battles within himself over his feelings。 Holy cow! The way he kisses Karina。 It’s completely clean, but Jody Hedlund knows how to write passionate kisses! This is definitely one story you need to read! The chemistry between these two is explosive。 There’s plenty of action and swoony romance that kept me quickly turning those pages with a few twists along the way。 I absolutely adored the last few chapters。 I don’t want to spoil anything except to say that I loved the grand gestures both Karina and Torvald offer to each other。 It was also fun to see the Knights of Brethren all together again。 Highly recommend to YA readers and adults alike。 I can’t wait for the next book! Though this is part of a series there’s enough backstory provided that it can be read as a standalone。 I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author。 All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Of all the incredible heroes and heroines featured so far in this delightful series, I think Torsvald and Karina have to be the sweetest。 Karina’s kindness and fortitude, her gentleness and strength bring healing to not just the hearts of her husband and father in law but to everyone she touches。 She is whimsical and endearing and strong in heart and I loved how her unconditional love and acceptance is featured in this story。

Another amazing book by this amazing Author。 I have enjoyed all of the Knights of Brethren tales so far, and this one continues the amazing adventures! I found myself unable to put this down, even sneaking a few pages while at work or when I should have been sleeping。 Lady Karina and Torvald’s story was spellbinding, and I can’t wait for the final two installations of this series!!

I could understand Torvalds past and why he was holding himself back from falling in love。 Readers were treated to some delicious kisses between them but the book was also very sweet and clean。I can not wait to read the other books in this medieval, fairytale series!

Jody Hedlund is an author with the special ability to write books that keep me up till an unholy hour just to finish。I'll admit, I was a little leery of this one, coming down from the emotional high that was Gunnar's (Gawain's) story, I wasn't sure if I would like this one as much seeing as I did not care for Torvald quite like I did for Gunnar。 Enter Karina who has to be my favorite heroine from this series so far。 I honestly just related so hard to the fact that she absolutely does not have a Jody Hedlund is an author with the special ability to write books that keep me up till an unholy hour just to finish。I'll admit, I was a little leery of this one, coming down from the emotional high that was Gunnar's (Gawain's) story, I wasn't sure if I would like this one as much seeing as I did not care for Torvald quite like I did for Gunnar。 Enter Karina who has to be my favorite heroine from this series so far。 I honestly just related so hard to the fact that she absolutely does not have a filter。 To be honest, she really reminded me of Princess Anna from Frozen (who is definitely one of my fave Disney princesses)。 Torvald was great too, if anything this guy reminded me of a more stoic Anakin Skywalker, he feels so much more strongly than everyone and those feelings can often make him more reckless。 Plus, this book did have Gunnar in it, not much but it was enough for me。Not to mention the fact that this was a marriage of convenience story and I'm such a sucker for those。。。I was curious why the next books had fire on the cover, but now I know and honestly I cannot wait to get to those, and delve into the stories for the final two Knights of the Brethren (well, except for the newbies who don't even have names, rip them)。I received a copy of this book from the author, all opinions, however, are my own。 。。。more
