"A powerfully evocative book about Scotland in the Dark Ages with a tender love story at its heart." Lynne Connolly, author of Nobless Oblige, a Regency romance from Champagne Books and the Richard and Rose series

"This book has passion and drama to spare. This book is what Lifetime would look for when making movies." Mary Ebert, Reviewer, Reviews Weekly

for Shadows:

"The story is sound, and the writing is sharp, but Shadows strongest point is its sheer deliberation, and the seductive manner in which author Black spins out her situations, playing with the reader’s sense of anticipation, but always holding something in reserve. Black leads you towards (the end) with beguiling charm."

"Jen Black's book (Shadows) is the one if you love ghost stories with a sensual touch. I really enjoyed this." Ann Herries/Linda Sole

for Dark Pool:

"Dark Pool is an intense, passionate and gripping read which captured my attention from the very first chapter. Well written, romantic and evocative, this is a must-read for fans of historical romance everywhere! Award five red roses." JB

"As a romance, this tale is a bit too harsh to handle, but as a historical and a believable portrayal of the ancient times of transition where Celts, Gaels, Picts, and Vikings lived together in the isles I give this book (Dark Pool) a 100 percent. The snapshot of life in those unsettled times, especially the life of an unprotected young maid makes for a great read."
