In An
Uncertain Choice, Jody Hedlund took us back to medieval times and
introduced us to three knights in shining armor and a strong woman that catches
their eye.
A Loyal Heart continues Hedlund's YA series with characters introduced in the previous books. This newest release is filled with the same magnificence of the previous releases: Chivalrous knights in battle, a virtuous and strong Lady, romance—all in captivating medieval settings.

Lady Olivia will do anything for family loyalty,
rationalizing her actions to fit her faith. And she will risk her life to
protect her younger sister. Lady Olivia is skilled with her sword, though still
unable to keep herself and her sister from capture.
Sir Aldric has walked away from his birthright, punishing
himself for his past mistakes. He is now the captain of Lord Pitt’s army, and
has been sent to capture an enemy’s daughters to use as leverage. Will holding
them hostage persuade their father to succumb to the King’s leadership and stop
his rebellion?
This story holds a strong lesson about family
loyalty versus morality. A promise versus virtue. I especially love this series for
young readers, as it gives a beautiful example of what true romance is when it
comes to a wholesome relationship. In other words, how you would want a young
man to treat your own daughter. The YA genre seems to be lacking in this area
today. I’m so glad Hedlund has decided to fill the void.
Hedlund uses two POVs—one from Sir Aldric's perspective, and the other in first person from Lady Olivia's.
As I stated in my review of her previous YA release,
I particularly love the way this author paints women as capable rather than
powerless. Even though this leading lady is on more than one occasion a damsel
in distress, needing rescue from a knight in shining armor, Hedlund still
portrays her as a woman of strong character—courageous in the face of danger. And in this installment, Lady Olivia becomes the rescuer!

Even though this series is listed as Young Adult, it
is enjoyable for all ages. I’ve read them all, and I highly recommend you do,
too. Knights in shining armor—what’s not to love!
