Readers comment on "Shadowed Knight":

"I just read Shadowed Knight and I loved it.... I waited for the print edition...and it was well worth the wait and the money spent...I normally do not like to read romances, even though I really like a romantic element in the books I read, but your book is exactly the kind of romance book I enjoy.  I liked that the characters are NOT Mary Sues, that there was a lot of humor as well as angst, and that there was a strong story with vivid and realistic descriptions.  Most of all, I appreciated the high quality of the writing.....I am looking forward to your future publications!"
Nina O.

"I have read many........ romance novels. I have never written a review for a book but read them before I usually buy. I have to say that this is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I hope you continue your writing especially [about] this time period...."
Karen P.

... a good winter’s night tale of love, perceived deception and a well-written battle of wills. The descriptions were vivid and I had no trouble following the protagonists as they went about their daily lives.

The story is filled with interesting secondary characters who are delightful. The battle between Margaret and Richard is fiery and the final battle…Read it and find out.

... If you like historicals set in this period of history, you’re sure to love this one.

Sir Richard is simply yummy. Granted, he has a tendency to speak before thinking… but he tries to accommodate Margaret’s feelings. There were times I wanted to knock Richard upside his head, particularly when he acted out because he felt unsure on how to respond, and I wanted to do that to Margaret, too. Although she realizes that Richard is as much of a pawn as she is, she is brutal at times when dealing with him. But I wouldn’t expect anything different from such complex and engaging characters. I appreciate the inclusion of the relationship between Sir John Fitzwilliam and Lady Ann Conroy. They brought romance to the story when things didn’t appear too positive for Richard and Margaret. Pick up Shadowed Knight and let it bring sunshine into your life.

....From their first meeting, Richard and Margaret fire insults and exchange murderous looks. Neither is willing to compromise, and it is only through the careful intervention of Ann and Richard’s best friend, Sir John Fitzwilliam, that the two do not kill each other. ..... Both hero and heroine are strong, beautiful, and so very right for each other...

Everything works in SHADOWED KNIGHT; the characters, settings, incidents, and the presentation of how things were are well done. Jan Alyce Avery has a matter-of-fact style that reads as if she were really there and was a first-hand observer. I want a Richard Berenger of my own.

SHADOWED KNIGHT is a perfect romance, one I highly recommend.

From JoyfullyReviewed.com

This story does a fantastic job of setting the stage for how women were treated during this time period. No matter how skilled, they were still at the whim of their liege lord and had no veto power.  I enjoyed both the actions and interaction of the main characters.... I also enjoyed the secondary romance of Sir Fitzwilliam and Lady Ann, as they both overcame their shyness and let their love blossom.  If you are a fan of historical romances, you need to pick Shadowed Knight up as it has it all, a baseborn man who achieves knighthood, a rogue knight, a strong-willed woman, kidnapping and romance.


There are few things more satisfying to an author than getting  feedback from someone who has enjoyed their book.   I received this a few days ago from reader Debbie Swift:
 
"I just finished "Shadowed Knight" and I absolutely love, love, loved it! After pre-ordering it, I have to tell you that I read every book Irish, Scottish or Welsh that I can get my hands on and I very selsom write to authors, but your furst book will be a big hit. I have a personal collection  of  favorites and hard to find books of about 4000 books, so medievels are my favorites and I have read lots and hope to read more of yours soon,. Congrats and a great book and please do let me know when you write a Welsh historical romance, I would love to be the first to be in line to buy it."

Thanks for the kind words, Debbie!
