It’s that time again!! Time for another book release! ENAMORED, the first book in my new medieval series Knights of Brethren hits shelves this coming Tuesday, Nov. 9.
For those of you who might be saying, “Didn’t Jody release a book not too long ago?”
The answer is YES! I had a book hit shelves last month in October (my second Colorado Cowboy book, THE HEART OF A COWBOY). If you missed it, go here: http://jodyhedlund.com/books/the-heart-of-a-cowboy/
I feel as if I should give everyone a heads up that I’ll have two more books releasing in quick succession. ENTWINED, the second book in the Knights of Brethren series, releases Dec. 7. And my second Waters of Time book, NEVER LEAVE ME, releases on Jan. 4.
(Sidenote: If you like helping to promote books for authors, you’re more than welcome to join my facebook group, the Reader Room, where I post sign-ups for early reading opportunities.)
So back to the new book release! ENAMORED! This is the start of a six-book series loosely based on Merlin, King Arthur, and the Knights of the Round Table.
ENAMORED kicks off the series by telling the story of Maxim (based upon Merlin) who wields his mind as a weapon (instead of magic). He and the Princess Elinor must work together to help determine who will become the next king. Of course the story involves an ancient sword (inspired by Excalibur). The problem is that Maxim and Elinor don’t know if the sword will truly help or hurt them! I guess you’ll need to read the story to find out!
Here’s what a couple of early readers have said about the book:
“Did I completely devour this book? Yes, yes, I did! And now I am counting down until the second book, because Jody Hedlund has done it again, completely hooking me and knocking it out of the park with this new book and series!”
“Wow! This reimagining of the story of Excalibur is adventurous and passionate and full of intelligent characters. The author is incredibly talented in making the reader fall in love with the main characters and want to see them together.”
Pre-order on Amazon

I think of the Knights of the round table and think about how exciting their life might be.
Being a knight means laying down your own life to protect others and your king.
Because they’re tough! And…everyone loves a man in ‘uniform.’ 😉
Am I ready for some swoon-worthy reading? Absolutely! Knights are tough, loyal, honorable and always on the look out for a fair maiden to save :-). What’s not swoony about that?
It has got to be their rugged good looks! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of your book.
A knight is always ready to defend at any cost
If this is any thing like her previous books, my girls are going to love it. I can’t wait to go back to king Arthur’s round table
Knights are swoony due to their courage to defend against evil!
Of course, knights are powerful in body, but I think their sense of honor and self-sacrifice is what makes them swoony.
I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait for more! I think knights are swoony because I grew up on fairy tales—the knight-in-shining-armor storyline is still satisfying and romantic.
When I think of a knight, I think of someone ready to go to any length to protect and rescue.
I shared on FB and IG
Can’t wait to read this!
There’s something about a strong, loyal warrior who is willing to sacrifice his own well-being for those he protects…
I know women didn’t have much say but that aside I love the way knight protected them with everything they had. Or when they took a kiss when they wanted it 😉
Knights were chosen for their strength, loyalty, and willingness to serve & protect. Who wouldn’t want to be saved by a Knight, and who wouldn’t want to win their heart?
The protector in them as well as fighting for what is right. I shared on Facebook and Pinterest.
I think knights are often loyal and kind, they are willing to sacrifice for those they love
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
The Knights willing to defend fair maidens and the crown!
I think knights are swoony because they’re mysterious, gallant and seem so gentlemanly. I almost think knights are similar to cowboys in that way, except that we romanticize knights more because they are from so long ago.
I think knights might be considered “swoon-worthy” because I admire manly men doing manly things.
I love their bravery.
So ready for this!
Their loyalty.
Congratulations on your new YA series and the book news! Look forward to reading them. 🙂
They are a man’s man. Very commanding, take charge men.
I think because of their fierce loyalty and strength. They were willing to lay down their lives for what they considered a badge of honor.
They are honorable warriors who protect and serve their kingdom, and they HAVE to work hard to become a knight. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think it’s because they are the protectors and they’re tough and girls love that
Knights are swoony when they show kindness and loyalty!
Knights are to be honorable and loyal. Plus, everyone loves a man in uniform, armor included. 😉
Knights are swoony because they are so gallant, honorable and steadfast in their loyalty.
I also pinned to Pinterest.
I love the chivalry and honor that the good knights have.
I love the Age if Chivalry! Knights are protectors of those nearby.
I love the honor, down deep toughness, commitment and dedication to protecting those their sworn to protect and loyalty. Add in some chivalry and you’ve got yourself a swoon worthy knight.
They are so brave and noble!
Not only are they strong protectors, they live their life by a code of honor.
I’m not sure I find knights swooney. Lol. I think I’d be scared if I met one. I picture them a little too rough around the edges.
I think knights are so swoony because they have to be tough and defend the people.
Probably because everyone pictures knights dashingly riding to their rescue on a white (or black) stallion. My theory, anyway. 😉
I think knights are swoony because of their courage, bravery, loyalty, honesty, and their protection no matter the cost.
Their courage, protectiveness and their honesty! And a pure heart! ❤️
Their honor, courage, and sense of chivalry.
Honor and courage.
