"Enflamed" by Jody Hedlund -- Book Review

About the Book

During a time when legends were born . . .

ENFLAMED

The most beautiful noblewoman in the kingdom, the lowly knight who can never have her, and the forbidden love they share.

When Sylvi Prestegard discovers that her father has arranged for her to marry a wealthy nobleman known for his thieving ways, she’s desperate to avoid the union. She turns to her childhood friend Espen, a Knight of Brethren, counting on his loyalty and kindness to help her escape.

Espen has been given an urgent mission to locate the holy lamp, an ancient relic necessary to defeat the enemy invading their country. In addition to his royal quest, he’s determined to protect Sylvi, the woman he’s always secretly loved. When she suggests the two of them marry to thwart her father’s plans, Espen cannot deny her request.

As they search for the holy lamp, Lord Prestegard pursues them, intent on reclaiming his daughter. With Espen’s life at stake, Sylvi must conspire to save them both. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles that stand between them, or are the flames of their forbidden love destined to be extinguished?

The real story of the Holy Lamp . . .

My Thoughts

I loved this book. I was happy to get Espen's story and seeing him with Sylvi. I liked the biblical faith thread and seeing the characters grow. There were characters I disliked (which was intended, I'm sure). I really enjoyed getting to see Espen's family and felt at home there. There is a bit of a cliff hanger ending because the story blends into Kris's story that we'll get in the last book in the series. I eagerly await being able to read the last book and other books by Jody Hedlund.
