BRAVO!!! Fabulous! A great love story AND a great case!! - Anonymous - Oct-21-2008   

This was awesome. I begged for more all the up until the very last word. - MJ - Oct-21-2008   

OMG! This should be published. This instant! It is better than any episode of a TV-series could ever be. It has everything a story should have, including a great ending! - Emma - Oct-21-2008   

Fantastic. Better than any of the episodes I've seen. Absolutely intriguing story, great characters. An absolute must-read. - Beep - Oct-21-2008   

Gripping, moving and provocative. A well-crafted winner. - Duc Tao - Oct-22-2008   

Wow! I thought I had read all of DAx's stuff... guess I was wrong. Totally great story, can't wait for the sequel. Two thumbs way up. - Arassar - Oct-22-2008   

"I'm a big fucking girl, Elliot! I can deal with the fact that I'm not getting meatballs! Pretty much the funniest paragraph, I have ever read.

Brilliant :) - Yalk - Oct-22-2008   

This story is NOT finished!! Please make sure to label it next time so we don't spend hours reading it only to find out that it is an "unfinished" story. (A big "no no" for some of us. ...the story itself is amazing so far, however). :) I guess I'll have to find someway to bide my time until it's done. LOL. - Linds - Oct-25-2008   

Author's Note: This story IS very much complete. There are 5 parts in total to the end!.There is a SEQUEL which will be coming out soon, but this story IS done. Thank you! - DAx =/\= - Oct-25-2008   

Thanks for the update Dax. Your story is so good that I couldn't stop reading even when I thought it was unfinished. Now that I HAVE finished, it was awesome! I can't wait for the sequel. - Linds (again) - Oct-25-2008   

If you love SVU, or excellent writing, or hot love scenes, or some good laughs, or a story with an actual plot, then you'll LOOOOVE this story! Can't wait or the sequel! - Dawn - Oct-28-2008   

OUSTANDING!!! Great lovestory with a great crime drama to match! - Alex/OliviaOTP - Oct-28-2008   

Top suspense and characterisation. Well-written with inteligent plot. I can only recommend this story and its author. - M. - Oct-29-2008

Best SVU Fic out there!!! - LivLover - Nov-24-2008   

This is one of the best SVU stories I've read.Pat Givens has all these characters down cold.Great story line.
Thanks for the hours of total enjoyment.
Pat - Pat - Dec-01-2008   

I love thin Frames. Maybe one of the best Law and Order SVU in fanfic land. I can't wait for the sequel. Awesome story. - halen - Dec-02-2008   

This story is hot, humorous, and well-plotted. The only 2 disappointing words in the entire work are...the end. The author has my most sincere compliments and a request for a swiftly completed sequel. - Lex - Jan-02-2009   

OUSTANDING! The push and pull, the angst and the love scenes were outstanding. The plot was tight and well written! All in all I give this a 10+++!!! - Fergie - Jan-30-2009   

Loved this story! Great storyline with mystery, humour and romance. The dynamics between Liv and Alex are fantastic and believable. Would love to see this one on TV! Am hoping that DAx is planning a sequel. - wolfen68 - Feb-13-2009   

It made me laugh and cry all in one story. You can't beat that :) - Anonymous - Mar-30-2009   

Fantastic! It's hard to find a good A/O femslash with a well constructed plot and fully fleshed characters! PLEASE write the sequel!!

- ONO - May-05-2009   

The love story not withstanding, this has got to be the best episode never seen, IMO. Come to think of it, it rates somewhere at the top of all the episodes that HAVE been seen. And as for the love story, if you are not an Olivia/Alex fan, you might just be after reading this. If you already are a fan, you are gonna need to clean up after this one! Too bad that TPTB would never have the guts to include this one! Brava, Dax! - Mad Dog - Jun-27-2009   

This is a great story on all levels. Pictures are good too. Love your stories DAx except 22 Days, I like happy endings!

Wonderful Story, wish i could find more L&O A&O Fanfics. - Angelicrainbw - Oct-12-2009

It's like watching it in a big screen.. Really great piece of writing.. I hope you'll update & hopefully finish the sequel..
Pls. don't keep us waiting.. - Anonymous - Dec-02-2009   

Okay - this totally hooked me in. It kept me on the edge of my computer the whole way through. What a wonderful thriller. Loved the characters. Can't wait for the sequel to be finished. I've never watched SVU but completely enjoyed the story. Read IT! It's a great tale. - x/g fanfic fanatic - Jan-30-2010   

THE BEST SVU story I have read ....and I have read a hell of a lot. Clever and extremely sexy with wonderful suspenseful plot and fantastic characterisation.

Brilliant work of art! Best A/O ever written. Great plot. Better than any original SVU episode. - SVURoho - Feb-03-2013   

Have never seen SVU, but Dax is very much on my list of trusted authors whatever the pairing. found this excellent as a stand-alone original story. The crime part of the plot was a bit gruesome but somehow the central characters, and particularly the dialogue kept the story well up there in the feel-good, romantic zone, with a fair share of LOL thrown in. Would definitely read a sequel !! - Anonymous - Nov-15-2013   

Great story so well written Nice hot scenes to wish the second part was finished xx - SD - Sep-15-2015   

I'm looking forward to the continuation of another well written romantic fiction from this collaboration of Kim and Alexa. It's as though they've stepped back from college in setting this new story. Their last work, "Lessons", was set in college. It was a powerfully emotional tale, as are Kim's solo pieces, notably, "First", and "Again", both involving older characters having dialogues with their memories. Judging from the first 2 chapters, and their past writing, "Outcome" will be a very good read. - Phantom Bard - Dec 24th, 2002   

can't wait for the 'outcome' of this story! an excellent start to an intriguing storyline - polar girl - Jan 11th, 2003   

Run don't walk to read this wonderful story.This story is so realistic. You will swear the authors sneaked a peek at your diary. Andi and Haley are truly wonderful ladies that you can't help but root for them. Or to know them and enjoy in their fun times and hug them during their down times. - Chris L. - Mar 4th, 2003   

Deliciously drawn out with an unusual written style; the minimalist POV took some getting used to - but I appreciate the distinctiveness. Great story, 3 kleenex sheets worth :)E - E - Mar 24th, 2003   

Great story - Anonymous - Mar 12th, 2004   

I've been up most the night trying to finish this one. Wonderful novel that I rate very highly. I'm going to miss Andi and Haley, they are believable and likable characters. - Janet - Aldershot England - May 7th, 2004

I've read this story several times and I cannot adequately express what a great story it is. Its one of my favourites and something I guarantee youll love and hopefully come back to as many times as I have to indulge in yet another fantastic piece of literature from two amazingly talented authors. This gets my utmost recommendations along with anything else these two have ever written. - Fox_Feather - Jun-10-2006   

This is the kind of story that will keep you on the edge of your seat till the end. OUTSTANDING! A must, must read. You will not be disappointed. Kudos to the authors. - Fredrica - Jun-22-2006   

I've lost count of how many times I've read this story. It's been one of my favourites since I first read it a few years ago, and I come back to it often. How it has never reached #1 is beyond me, seriously. It really is a beautiful story. If you haven't read it, you really should.

Sequel? Please? :) - Melissa - Mar-06-2007   

This story rocks you to the core! With it's believable charcters and plot line; you feel as though you are right there as the story unfolds, cheering, crying, hopping, and wishing right there along with them! A must read you will be gripped from the very beginning! Great read ladies! - Jaely - Apr-11-2008   

Oh this was FANTASTIC!!! I'd love to see these two authors get back together for another go! These two characters will remain with me for a long long time. - JC - May-15-2008   

i really enjoyed reading this story. i laughed alot, and cried alot. it has a certain uniqueness in it compared to other stories here. I REALLY ECOMMEND THIS TO BE READ!! very nice story. it can pass as a love story movie. if your looking for novel like an unexpected blooming HS friendship of two different social-bounded characters to mature love, this is it. experience pain, intimidation, jealousy, fun, joy and love in one. but i still wish there`s a sequel. heheh... - ateB - Aug-24-2008   

Great story !! Molto bella,bravissime :)) - Manuela - Sep-05-2008   

Kim, you are one of my all time favorite bards. Your stories never disappoint. This is one of my all time favorites. There is nothing like your 1st love. This story will help you remember why. - Brighteyez - Sep-08-2008   

Loved this story---excellent! - Stormy - Feb-18-2009   

What an amazing story! I would love to see a continuation of the relationship of these two women. - Angelicrainbw - Mar-10-2009   

Stupid me.....I started this outstanding story last night and couldn't put it down! Stupid me cause it was my turn to get up with our 4 year old while partner sleeps in and I've had 2 hours of sleep! Brilliant story...the angst is so thick at times. A must read. Well done. - Lea Ann - May-23-2009   

Awesome story! Emotional, suspenseful, and very well-written! I love how it's set in Minnesota, nothing ever takes place here!! : ) Great read! - Nicole - Jul-12-2009   

great story! my heart was aching reading some chapters. whew! READ STORY HERE! i just hope there's a sequel, you know? - rec - Jul-29-2009   

Such sweet angst. Wonderful story. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Everything you write has been a pleasure to read. Loved both Haley and Andi. - x/g fanfic fanatic - Feb-15-2010   

This story was beautiful, funny, cute, amazing, and everything else you wish for in a story! This duo is amazingly talented. I recommend it 100%! - Laurence2123 - Apr-27-2010   

What a wow story. Great job pf writing. - sassy123 - Dec-23-2010   

Strange.. at the beginning of the story it seems like andi is the more mature one.. at the end of the story i get the impression haley is the most mature.. or how characters in a story can grow.. nice.. - Anonymous - May-22-2011   

One of my favorites! I enjoyed it even more the second time I read it and will definitely read it again and again! - Jaime - May-27-2011

One of the best stories out there. Matches with the emotions I have been living through. As always kim did a great job, read it countless times i think ;) - AW - Apr-21-2012

That's the good stuff! - Whitney D. - Mar-02-2014   

Amazing story only fault was the jump from Haley graduation to present but still a great read - SD - May-19-2015   

This is an incredible tale of self-discovery, will power, adventure and awakenings. KG takes you on a hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro and gives you insight into the will that it takes to make it to the top. The main characters, Mary Kate and Kristin are just awesome. They'll make you smile with their charms and make you grit your teeth in empathy as they go on their journey through the clouds. I highly recommend this story! - Di Bauden - Jan 24th, 2003   

This is not only a great story, it is so beautifully constructed that I hated to get to the end of it. Ms. MacGregor captures so many emotions so intricately that I can't put the story away until I'm done with it, so my advice would be to start reading early or you'll find yourself staying up way past your bedtime to finish the story. I recommend all of this very talented bards' work, and this story just proves to me that this lady is very gifted with the written word. I hope for more to come from this author, because she has so much to offer and what a coup for us that she posts it in venues where we reap the benefits. Thank you again KG MacGregor for a wonderful ride. - Maria - Jan 27th, 2003   

WOW!! What a great story! I feel like I too have been on the quest for Kili now, every grueling bit of it! KG has done an excellent job here! And it is a sweet tale of love discovered and learning what is important and dealing with choices. This is a 'must read' tale for everyone to enjoy and learn from! - Anastacia13 - Jul 1st, 2003   

Inspiring and romantic, this is one of my very favorite stories. Though my own journeys of self-discovery have seldom been paralleled so metaphorically, The Road from Kilimanjaro hit very close to home for me -- and pleasantly so. There are very few stories I'd recommend more than this. - Catherine - Aug-07-2006   

This was the first KG MacGregor story I read and I return to it time and again. It inspired me that much I actualy went out and Climbed Kilimanjaro which was the experience of a life time, so thank you to KG MacGregor for that. I have to say the descriptions in this story of the area and the emotions you feel during the climb are spot on. Well worth a read from everyone. - Titch - Apr-18-2007   

Loved it...great read - Anonymous - Apr-30-2008   

I read this story a few years ago and absolutely loved it. It's the first story I felt compelled to share with others. I'm going to sit down and read it again now and I'm sure I'll enjoy just as much as the first time...probably more! If you haven't read this story GRAB it now and get real comfy in that favorite chair because you aren't going to be able to put it down until the very end!! - JC - Jun-05-2008   

Once again, KG has furnished us with a thrilling tale, which definitely needs a sequel. More More More!! Please?? - jt - Jan-29-2009   

She did a wonderful job describing the ascent to the mountain. The characters were very warm. Yet, I don't think she did all her research. If the girl is blonde white female, I highly doubt she went to Savannah State, which she then later referred to as Savannah College.
Otherwise, I thought the story was well done and characters were warm and appealing. - Anonymous - May-18-2009   

Anyone who is familiar with Savannah would know that it is possible that a blonde white girl may very well go to Savannah State, but Mary Kate from Mooresville would be unlikely. The author said State only the first time. All the others, she said College. Not a lapse in research, just a slip of the keyboard. Does it matter? The research she did for the primary story was what was important. She either wrote from experience or did extensive research in order to write a super story in a style I could read all day. She didn't have me thinking about going to college, she had me climbing Kilimanjaro. Good on ya, KG. Keep it up! - jacque58 - Apr-25-2010   

Very well done. Lots of detail. Truely a gifted writer. Can't help but wonder.... might this be a true story? - mine2give2u - Jul-02-2010   

A really great story. Good job - sassy123 - Aug-31-2010   

One of the best stories I've ever read. - DD - Dec-04-2010   

Very well written story. I liked how the relationship developed between them. Not only that, the details on the trip and the secondary characters all added to the quality of this story. Excellent. - Lyn B - Feb-23-2011   

Outdoor adventures are not my cup of tea, but I decided based on the reviews, to give this one a read. I'm gad I did. This is a throughly enjoyable read. The characters are fleshed out and believable. I recommend this to anyone, be they outdoorsy or not. - cygirl1 - Mar-17-2011   

i just loved this fic. I could really relate to Mary Kate, and i'm rather partial to adventure stories where the author takes you on a journey that is clearly close to their heart. Thanks heaps! - Michelle - Apr-16-2011   

this is really a wonderful story.. the way the author describes the trek across the mountain makes you feel like a part of the expedition.. nice subtext (maintext?) as well.. especially loved the humour in the dialogues.. i recommend this story to everyone who is not looking for a thriller, horror or ghost story.. since such expectations are the only ones that could prevent you from enjoying this story.. - xtra dog - Jun-13-2011   

Very good - Anonymous - Aug-08-2011   

I think this is the best story from KG - certainly my favourite. A journey of discovery and romance both literally and metaphorically. Compelling story telling than makes you a participant, rather than just the observer. Read it. - Georgia - Sep-16-2011   

REALLY EXCELLENT!!!!! - soopi - Jul-01-2012   

This is an awesome story! I enjoyed how the story built up and the interaction between the characters was excellent. Well worth reading! - Ricky - Dec-08-2012   

I think this is my favourite KG MacGregor story. Her writing allows the reader to experience the story. A wonderful talent. Not that I have climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, but the description of the grime after a multi-day expedition is ichingly accurate. Enjoy! - Georgia - Aug-11-2013   

Highly enjoyed this story twice now. I can't wait to see what these two will be up to in another adventure. I felt like I was actually there and really bonded with the characters. Bravo! - Katie of Ohio - Aug-14-2013   

this story begins where "bluest eyes in texas" ended.. love the dynamics between the two main characters.. pity there is so much confusion when it comes to names: the dogs, cats and horses have all gotten different names.. but it doesn't stop there.. somewhere during the story tom becomes sam to be changed back into tom when the "real" sam makes a reappearance.. nevertheless, i highly recommend this story! - Anonymous - Jun-04-2011   

This had some gutwrenching parts but I hated to see the end and can't wait for more. - Netta - Oct-23-2007   

I read all the Past Imperfect stories in one day. Yes, I know they're a lot of pages, but they are that good. If you're a Voyager fan, you should definitely check them out. - Arassar - Oct-25-2007   

You won't regret a minute spent reading this. In fact you'll be looking for the next novel! - Kelly - Oct-26-2007   

Great story - Nikki - Oct-26-2007   

Every story has to end sometime but I sure hated to see this one reach that point.
Fortunately for all of us,Fletcher took a break and than came up with "Without A Front" about a year later.
She just gets better and better.
Pat - Pat Iserman - Oct-26-2007   

I was enthralled by this series from start to finish. The only bad bit was just that....the finish! Maybe one day we'll have another story to look forward to?!?! I loved it and would recommend it for everyone who loves a well written series with great characters and story lines. - Dogz - Oct-26-2007   

FUCKING FANTASTIC!!! THE BEST STAR TREK FICTION EVER!!!!!!!!!! - Anonymous - Oct-26-2007   

Excellent series well worth the read :) - Anonymous - Oct-27-2007   

I love anything Fletcher DeLancey writes, but I'm really not bias when I say you will absolutely love her stories. The fourth installment of Her Voyager stories just leaves you wanting more. How agonizing to leave us wanting more of the story. You too will want it to never end. Enjoy! - ln549 - Oct-27-2007   

Be warned! Fletcher Delancey's stories are addictive! - Chris - Oct-27-2007   

Great story! Probably my favorite Voyager stories. The author's new works are also fantastic. She has created a new world and it is a joy to learn about it. - Anonymous - Oct-27-2007   

This story is another amazing addition to Fletcher's series. Give it a read, you will most definitely be glad you did! - Chase - Oct-27-2007   

Highly recommend all stories within the series. You'll be glad you made the time to enter Fletcher's Voyager. At a minimum, it will make you smile - make you cry - make you wish for more. - mkreese - Oct-27-2007   

Fletcher's stories are truly beautiful. Well written, thought provoking and enthralling. You'll want to read them over and over. - Lynn - Oct-27-2007   

This series is top quality fiction from a top quality writer. You will not be disappointed but the drawback is, you'll get nothing done until you fin ish it! - tricorder - Oct-28-2007

My personal favourite of the series, and like the rest... Really great - some of the best fiction online. - Anonymous - Oct-30-2007   

I hated to see this end. I felt like Lynne Hamilton was an old friend. And her portrayals of Janeway and Seven are right on. Revi was an added bonus. Fletcher, more please. - Linda aka cygirl1 - Nov-01-2007   

So many people can't be wrong... READ IT! XD You will love it and be hooked! - Maria - Nov-02-2007   

Simply amazing! These four books are among the best Star Trek: Voyager fiction I have read (R. J. Nolan's stories are up there too -- I like the stories in which new original characters are introduced instead of the more common Janeway/Seven pairing.) I'd recommend to start reading them on a weekend -- they are hard to put down once started. Here's to hoping the story would continue in the fifth book after the author is done with the (also excellent) spin-off, Without A Front. - SS - Nov-02-2007   

This series needs another story at least. Amazing characterization, well written, one of the best series I've ever read. - Anonymous - Nov-04-2007   

This whole series is a GREAT READ. Not since G.L. Dartt's "Just Between" stories have I seen the depth and fullness of the characters as shown in these stories. I'm hoping that this series will continue along with the spin-off begun with "Without a Front". DeLancey is giving us a new look into Voyager's world. Take a peek, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. - nljacksn - Nov-04-2007   

I love this series (and "Without a Front"), superb writing and great character studies...can't wait for more first-rate material from this very gifted writer! - OmisLiebling - Nov-24-2007   

Oh my word! All I can say is that Fletcher is brilliant! Read anything and everything that she has written and beg for more! Thank you, Fletcher, for sharing this with us. I cannot wait for the next story. - Gwen - Jan-29-2008   

I have read a LOT of fanfiction from every fandom in every site I could find and there have been a LOT of those that I have found. And by far this Series are amongst the best that I have ever read.
Amazing detailes, captivaiting charecters, bewitching plot. I was hooked from the first sentence.
In my humble opinion it is right up there with the "I Found My Heart In San Fransisco" Series to name one of the bast series on the net.
The auther really shows her love and her dedication to both the quality of the story she wanted to tell and also to us as readers in this masterfully crafted master piece.
And I for one can not wait for the Fifth book in the series, I am sure it will be a delight to read as well.
Thank you for a wonderfull read and may this be just the begining, you have a true talent and it is a joy to go on an adventures in your books.
Keep up the good work. ;)

Fantastic series. I'm happy that you are continuing this story. Looking forward to your next part of this wonderful story. - Anonymous - May-17-2008   

Excellent. I read 'No Return' because of 'Without A Front.' I was not disappointed. I've read 'Front' three times. I was blown away by the story and then the icing on the cake 'No Return.' So far two readings. I look forward to the future writings of the great author. - BJ - Jul-01-2008   

Fletcher has now started posting chapters of FORWARD MOTION! The final story of this terrific series. Once again Something to look forward to on Fridays!

She picks up where she left off and chapter one is terrific! - Anonymous - Dec-07-2008   

Oh, this series totally rocks! I reccommend this to all my friends ... and to random peeps online too!

This is so well written, the characters so well drawn ... there are no words to adequately describe just how much this author and this series rocks!

Thanks for charing, Fletcher! - Gwen - Mar-11-2009

Arictels like these put the consumer in the driver seat-very important. - rczumahl - Dec-12-2011   

Excellent story. I couldn't stop reading it. It's right up there in my favorites with Blood and Honor. - silverwriter01 - Nov-30-2007   

Yay! I can easily recommend everything Windstar and Zee have collaborated on. You should read them all. Now. And oh, yeah, this story is really great, and totally deserves a sequel. - Arassar - Nov-30-2007   

Another great story...touching. - Anonymous - Dec-01-2007   

Great story! I always love a good werewolf story. Please, oh pretty please, can we have a sequel? - Anna - Dec-01-2007   

Not usually a fan of a werewolf story, but this one was entirely enjoyable. Read it--kept me reading until I was late for an appointment... - micah6 - Dec-21-2007   

Great story! A must read! Please write a sequel. These characters are to good to just stop at one story. Would love to see Zoya and Bones fall in love. Would make an interesting love match and fodder for Tylers whit. - Fredrica - Dec-31-2007   

Another amazing story. Hope theres a sequel. - Bluetyger86 - Dec-31-2007   

This is a great story. After reading this I've become a werewolf fic fan, LoL. This is well written that you feel you're watching in television,Lol. Though I want to see Zoya get in love with Bones lol..Those two characters may have an interesting relationship IF there is a sequel, LOL...A sequel might be nice though,LOL - Fan - Jan-04-2008   

another excellent story from the author.. - leia - Jan-29-2008   

i absolutely loved this story... action, humor, hotness.. good mix from these two (as usual) - Leah - Jan-29-2008   

Characters are well developed. Bones and Zoya story will surely make people laugh more lol, :) - Anonymous - Feb-12-2008   

This was the best story I've read in a long time. The characters were so real. I love your work. - Anonymous - Mar-24-2008   

excellent hope you do more please - Anonymous - Nov-14-2008   

~Read it this is an excellent Were story with explosions mad scientists and all the ingredients of a good read absolutely fantastic - LsC - Dec-03-2008   

**** Spoiler Alert **** I was really surprised that this story was any good at all. Not insulting our dynamic duo here. Even the best can turn out a stinker once in a great while. But it was a WEREWOLF story. I mean, come on! We've been so saturated with tales of vampires and werewolves that we are kind of choking on all them.
Wow, did I have my attitude handed back to me on a plate. This was certainly THE best story plot, and I DO mean THE BEST, I have read online in this genre.
There is at least two pre-stories here, a entire side series .... or two, and numerous additions.
The characters are complex, interesting, and strangley believable....and very likable.
Add those characters to government genetic experiments, Air Stream Trailers, plastic pink flamingos, segregated werewolves living on indian reservations, hot female alphas, and a hellhound?????? It is safe to say that the "hellhound" is hit unto herself.
If you could get rid of the "Underworld movie" overtones, you'd have quite the publishable sci-fantasy series here.
If not, you could still have the best "creature of the night" series on line.
We, your fans, await with bated breath. - Anonymous - Jan-03-2009   

great read with much action - Anonymous - Jun-15-2009   

very well done, fast action, hot and a very good story - Anonymous - Jun-19-2009   

Great characters, amazing read. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-16-2009   

I love this story so much! I will definitely be reading it over and over again. The interactions between Kehpri and Chance were very amusing and I fell in love with the two characters. - Hillsys Stalker - Nov-08-2009   

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT WORK WINDSTAR AND ZEE! you're such GENIUSES, i love your stories so much! more power! thank you so so much for sharing your wonderful stories! love all your work! all the best! - Luie - May-13-2010   

Actually, the next story in this series is Zoya - which is also wonderful. These two stories, and their counterpart SHoV are too awesome for words. The characters are brilliant. - Aerows - Aug-06-2010   

these characters are stupendous. you cannot help but fall in love with chance and tyler. - kc - Aug-07-2010

great story! had me lol and i couldn't stop reading till i was finished!!! def adding windstar and zee to my fav authors! - Anonymous - Mar-04-2011   

I cannot believe that the two of you never continued this series. I sat through an entire weekend of werewolf/vamp shows on SyFy this weekend and not a single one of them was near as good as these two stories of yours. You left so much to work with here in Chance that you could turn out more sequels than Star Trek!
These were not good stories ---- they were awesome stories.
It would be a damned shame to kill these stories off and not continue them --- at least one more for a trilogy. - ChaCha - Mar-08-2011   

Weres aren't my usual cup of tea, but I'm so glad I read this story! Great characters... on to the next one - Thanks! - Anonymous - Apr-04-2011   

not what i was expecting from a were-story.. definitely way better than my expectations! good characters, good pace, good mixture of humor and suspense.. certainly recommend it to were-haters as well as were-lovers.. - Anonymous - May-16-2011   

Love everything these two amazing authors write. Check out this one and all of the others they have written! - Sparks - Jun-18-2011

This is amazing! just read it find out yourselves... - Con's-Piracy - Jan-20-2012   

I just love these characters. Chance is awesome! =) - babyjune - Apr-29-2012   

Okay I just have one question. Why is this not in print? This is easily one of the best paranormal books I've read and is far superior to some of the ones I've paid for. Really very excellent and highly recommended. I am pretty late to the party, but so very glad I arrived. Also I truly think that because of stories like this that I am growing to love Were stories more than Vampires. Chance embodies that very hot animalistic quality which is incredibly sexy. - Jen - Aug-22-2012   

**** SPOILER ALERT **** love it! the characters, the plot, the setting, and the ending you broke my heart and make it whole again. thanks! - Ivy - Dec-28-2012   

One of my absolute favorite stories. The story is incredible but it's the characters that will have you coming back. I highly recommend you read it. - drake - Jan-13-2013

Blazingly Brilliant!!
Cheyne, again, thrills with her attention to detail in this time bending tale of love. A very satisfying story that successfully bridges, and blends, not only time but also gender, race, and culture.
An EXCELLENT and ABSOLUTE must read!!
- Balmain - Feb-14-2008   

What a great ride!! I LOVED this story! I highly recommend this one! - gcc - Feb-26-2008   

Very good read. This story embraces our differences and shows how a group of people can join together for a common cause and perserver over a common enemy. - Anonymous - Mar-05-2008   

Link between chapter 12 & 13 not working.It just keeps looping back to chapter 12. - Anonymous - Mar-10-2008   

cross between future and past works well. nice to run across a different kinda tale. well written and recommended for those who like going into the past. - Anonymous - Mar-14-2008   

A wonderful story. Though, it ends with chapter 13. Is this finished? - Anonymous - Mar-28-2008   

A wonderful story. For those that are having issues with the links, simply change the number in your address bar, ( if it says renegade13 somewhere at the end of the link, change the 13 to 14 and hit enter.) That should bring you to the next page. - Anonymous - Apr-05-2008   

This is by far the best western story I've read. Cheyne woves tales that hook you from start to finish. A great read! - Anonymous - Apr-24-2008

This was a very entertaining and adventure filled read. I highly recommend it for readers who are looking for kick butt adventure, redemption, and some fabulous love-making. - happykt - Jun-13-2008   

fantastic - Anonymous - Jul-12-2008   

I hate westerns but I loved this. My only complaint (not the fault of the author) is that you have to go directly to the RAB website to find part 14 Otherwise this is an absolutely Craacking read. - LsC - Oct-28-2008   

This is the first time I read anything by this author and I loved this story! It was fast paced and intriguing. Liked the characters, liked the storyline. - carole - Nov-08-2008   

Okay, so it's possible that I have a weakness for Westerns and maybe I'm a bit biased...with that being said, I absolutely loved Renegade. If you're a fan of the genre you have to give it a read. The love story was beautiful and the plot engaging. Two Thumbs! - nicole938 - Dec-03-2008   

The BEST western story of X/G imo!! Highly recommended! - Luie - Feb-19-2009   

Wow, this is a great story! Wish I had read it sooner. - Arassar - Feb-21-2009   

****spoiler****
A dirty cop finds herself in deep do do and the only means of escape is to travel back in time. Not by choice she lands back in the old west where she quickly starts down a road of trust, love and redemption.
At first I found it tough to read as it starts by throwing a multitude of names, dates, places at you. As you get through that and really start the story in earnest you quickly realise all that gubbins (clutter) was necessary. Well worth a look. - Sai - Mar-12-2009   

love it, very good story. wow!!!! - lady - Mar-25-2009   

This is one of my altime favorites. The link to the conclusion is not working. - rleef - Jun-10-2009   

This was a good read. Lots of humor, a good western background, two lovely ladies... I really enjoyed this one! - filfil - Jun-20-2009   

If you havent read this one, put it on your 'must read list'. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

Nice plot. Well written... got me to delay my college studies this week...! Argh!! AND two big dark rings under my eyes. Be careful with that, whoever read this one. - Millie D'Cast - Nov-07-2009   

OMG!!!!! this Novel is UNF!!!! After a long time, I found a story that I absolutely love!! I wil definately by this one!!!! This a bestseller!!!A nice mixture of Sci-Fi, Action, Romance & who can forget..... THE OLD WEST. - hellraizer77 - May-18-2010   

Interesting storyline, good characterization, well-plotted... Nice job ! - Condorcet - May-20-2010   

After Clandestine (full of angst and passion) and the sex-tensed Permission To Recover (which I found very informative and well done), I didn't expect this, less dark and with lots of funny parts. Plus, it may rather be classified as Pre-1900 instead of Modern, or both, since the 4/5 of the story are WWW.
Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot. - M. D. Gibralta - Oct-22-2010   

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. One of my favorite ubers! Sequel please? I wanna see what Trace, Rachel, and the gang are up to:) - Anonymous - Jan-08-2011   

Yes! Do read it. I love a good Uber Wester,I have read it a few times and even bought the book in print. A sequal is in definate order. - cpo - Feb-18-2011   

While the beginning felt somewhat forced, and while the... Transition (When you read it you'll know what I mean) could have used some work it really picks up after the first part. It's a kick ass story that is truly worth a read. If you have even the slightest urge to read something western related, I suggest you read this. You won't be disappointed. - Laziel - Feb-24-2011   

The BEST story of all stories, not just by this author. - Anonymous - Feb-25-2011

Wow. Was that ever a good read. Well worth investing the time! - Georgia - Sep-14-2011   

This was a great read. The author uses an interesting strategy, setting up the story's major themes in one setting, then unexpectedly transporting the main character to a completely different environment where the same themes are then fully developed. Really very entertaining, with a satisfying ending. - XenaLives - Sep-24-2011   

Great read! - TKD Vix - Feb-29-2012   

nice read.. i especially liked the honey confusion.. :) the convergence between 21st and 19th century was well written.. but the author had a discrepancy with time in a totally different way.. *** SPOILER ALERT *** the baby was born after a nine months pregnancy, but being that trace and rachel got married after 2 months pregnancy, it was impossible that they were only together for six months when the baby was 1 month old.. and if the cranes were to be only gone for 2 months, how come they only returned when rachel was already 8 months pregnant, knowing they left shortly after conception?? small details, but it makes the story less believable.. - xtra dog - Mar-29-2012   

Action, romance, danger and emotion blended beautifully for one heck of a fantastic read!! My only complaint is that there isn't a sequel. (g) I very highly recommend this story. - Stacia - Feb-02-2013   

This is a really good read. A modern detective story turned western. Sound implausible - read it and find out. Well structured, well paced, well edited and very funny in places. - Georgia - Feb-12-2014   

Very good. - Anonymous - May-19-2014   

What an interesting tale! So much more than just romance and sex. Quite a plot line. Loved it! - LMC - Sep-06-2014   

I have just re-read this and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time. Tihi was one of the first stories I read on Athenaeum and remains one of my favourites. The characters are very believeable and behave with conviction. I didn't think I would enjoy "western" type stories but this opened my mind to the possibility. Give this a try. I don't think you will be disappointed. - Anonymous - Jul-01-2015   

A Sequel ... Please . I love this story. Thank you. - R.L. - Jan-11-2017   

Great story! At first i was thrown by the transition between the time periods but both were well-written and i was actually hoping to see if there would be a return later. But still, very enjoyable story and i really like the bucket loads of chemistry between the two ladies and was definitely rooting for them and all the lovely characters in sagebrush. Would be nice to have a sequel in the future where they go back. :) - regina - Jan-28-2017

VERY nicely written with lots of emotions poured into this short story. Thanks to the writer for sharing :) - Mica - May-03-2012   

very well written.. it feels like a missing scene from the return of Callisto.. - xtra dog - May-19-2013   

Has a pretty unique premise and is well-written. I like Xena repeating the familial relationships after Gab's cousin states them each time. Conveys a lot. I don't know why it has such a high spice-rating though; there's hardly any spice (sob). Sex is implied, yes, but even the foreplay happens entirely in the white space. - TrekInTandem - Jul-10-2014   

Another Great Read!!... - bluebutterfly - Oct-14-2010   

Run, don't walk to this story and series by Missy Good. This story has a bit of everything and is definitely worth several reads. Nice to see one possible background for Gab and the growing relationship between Xena and Gab. If you're looking for a series with strong plots, kick butt Warrior Princess and an evolving, strong Gab, this series is for you. - Stacia - Mar-18-2014   

Excellent, wonderful loved this story the first time I read it and every time since. Great story and romance keeps you reading until the end and leave you wanting more. Highly recommended read NOW. - Daydreams - Nov 23rd, 2002   

A story I have on my book shelf after going out and buying it so that I can read it again at any time, any where. Romance, Espionage, Uncertainties and Passion rolled into two women finding love for and with each other. A wonderful story to read and one I highly recommend. - Anonymous - Mar 2nd, 2003   

This is a great story! I love it! It's on my bookshelf. It has some fantastically funny lines...The characters are very true. I think this book has the most pop culture references of any book I have ever read, though...haha - Feagin - Mar 15th, 2003   

I absolutely loved this story. One of my favourite representations of Uber Xena... I think I almost f'ell in love' myself, with Devlyn Marlowe. I may well be a sucker for a fairytale romance, but who gives a heck. Gets my recommendation, that's for sure. - Larabard - Jun 8th, 2004   

This story should not be missed. A beautiful tale of love and friendship. Like the other commentor, I think I fell in love with Dev. Just beautiful! - Kayryn - Sep 7th, 2004

One of my favorite uber story!Well done! - FaithBlue - Jan 20th, 2005   

I actually own this book but it is so worn out by me reading it so many times, I will find it on line and read it again. This is a must - must read for all of you true uber heads. You see by other comments that every one fell in love with the 'Devil', wellll I for one also did. Although I think Lauren is a hottie too. Don't miss this read folks!! It is defenitely one of my altime favorites. - Robin Hicks - Apr 10th, 2005

I loved this story . I love everyone in the story.It is a must read.Stop and read this now! - yin yang - Jul 31st, 2005   

This story was one of the best uber's ive ever read, everything about it touched me deeply and Develyn and Lauren are two of the best portrayals of Xena and Gabrielle out there, i just absolutely loved this story. - Lissa - Dec 30th, 2005   

I fell in love with this story the first time I read it. I felt like I was there with the characters, experiencing their sorrows, fears, happiness, and tears. - Jessie - Sep-01-2006   

This is, without a doubt, the best uber I've ever read. The characters are real, the plot is tight, and it's all believable. A really amazing job from two wonderful bards. Read First Lady too. The sequel doesn't disappoint. I just wish there were more Dev and Lauren stories because I nearly have these two memorized. - Amy - Feb-03-2007   

What can I say that havent´t been said before? Well, this is definitely one of the best storys I´ve ever read and I´ve read quite a few. So, just don´t miss this one, you´ll regret it! I promise!

Excellent story. I've read it more times than I can remember, and I love it just as much as I did the first time. A must read story. - Lyn B - Mar-14-2011

Loved this story so good x - SD - Jul-07-2015   

I really loved this wild cross over story with Lara Croft and Xena. It is so interesting to see how much of Xena is in Lara and surprisingly how much of Lara is in Xena. - Anonymous - Sep 15th, 2002   

Sherri does an excellant job meshing the Warrior Princess with Lara Croft. She's brought back my interest of the ancient ruins of far away lands and Easter Island with her stories. - Larisa - Sep 17th, 2002   

I loved this!!!! Great idea Lara Croft and Sarah Covington are wonderful to watch. I love to read how they seemed to just grow into a great team. Wonderful story!!! - Rocky - Oct 16th, 2002   

Oh My, This is soooo different from all Ri's other stories. I loved it! I'm a huge Xena and Lara Croft fan. I love this crossover because it makes so much sense and I adore the relationship between Lara and Sarah. - Emma - Oct 22nd, 2002   

This was such a fun story, I really was swept away on this tidal wave of adventure and fun. Thanks for a great read. - Kitty - Jan 13th, 2003   

I have been reading this every day at work for a week. I love this story! What a great idea to combine Xena and Tomb Raider. I thought it would be light reading but it really touched my heart. Thanks Ri:) - Annie - Jun 17th, 2004   

This is a really cool idea. I never thought of Lara Croft like this. Its more fun then the movies because she's human and I really like Sarah as her companion. - Tai - Oct 5th, 2005   

Love this series. This is my fifth reading - Natalie - Mar-21-2010   

Interesting and entertaining take on 3 of my favorite female action heroes. ***Spoiler Alert*** Although I never thought of Lara as a descendent of Xena's, it really works. I'm glad there are more stories in this series because there are lots of unanswered questions. - Stacia - Sep-04-2013   

This story is one of the best I have ever read. When I finished reading I was truly moved. A rare thing. Passionate, and enlightening I learned about and felt along with the characters and the culture. Well written and yet entertaining. A must read. - Sam in michigan - Oct 4th, 2003   

A rare treat in style, characterization, dynamics, and cultural content. Very moving and exceptionally profound. Recommended highly for anyone who is not just looking for light entertainment. - annika - Apr 12th, 2005   

I can't say thanks enough for recommeding this story. Ana Ortiz, you are an amazing writer, and story-teller..and poet. The words certainly come to you, along with meaningful characters...I refer to everyone you threaded into your story. This story should have been written for profit and should be a made into an indie. The plot leads and spins the reader, never a dull word of sharing. I loved it all. - Anonymous - Apr 15th, 2005   

This story is a cut above. The unique story line, the characters' backgrounds and interaction, the dialogue, and the overall tone stayed with me long after I read it. It's truly exceptional. - Della - Apr 23rd, 2005   

MASTER PIECE !!! Ana Ortiz has written a fascinating story, with complex characters, a beautifully constructed prose and a romance, that will probably have you reading the book in one sitting, an assumption based on personal experience... - Anso - Jun-30-2007   

Really heavy story, emotionally and in subject matter, but Miss Ortiz definitely knows her stuff. Barbara and Chela are wonderful characters. Definitely worth a read. - Arassar - Jul-09-2007   

Companera Ana, your story is fantastic ! Thanks, from the bottom of my heart. - calypso - Jul-12-2007   

Incredible writing and characterizations. Kept me up until 2 a.m. on consecutive nights. It is deeply moving and wonderful. Highly recommended! - Luciddream - Jul-12-2007   

I'm constantly looking for new stories to keep me up all night, and when I can't find any to hold my attention, I often turn back to this one. Just finished up my third (or fourth?) read through... This is up there as one of my all time favorites. If you haven't done so yet, read this! - Jen - Jul-15-2007   

Wow...this story totally blew me away! Definitely one of the best I have read! I definitely recopmmend reading it!! - kaysy_1994 - Jul-30-2007   

This is an amazing story!!!! It should be published. Thank you for the wonderful read. - Anonymous - Aug-02-2007   

What a great read! The complexity of the characters, the richness of the storyline, the poetry. It has called me back several times. Thank you. - Lee - Mar-10-2008   

This story was one of the most beautiful, and moving, I've ever read. No, scratch that - it's more than a story. It's an *experience*. In fact, it was so emotionally harrowing it left me exhausted at the end, and I've never found the gumption to read it again. You live with them, breathe with them, hear the whispers sharing their head, and if you're lucky you'll emerge a changed person, the way Barbara and Chela did, too. I can't recommend this story enough, and I just wish there were still some way to contact Miss Ortiz and tell her how this made me feel. - Anonymous - Aug-25-2008   

This really ought to be published. Moving, inspiring, thought-provoking, exciting, harrowing, passionate. Thank you so very much for putting this out there for us! - Hoback from UT, USA - Sep-09-2008   

This is a fantastic story with great depth and the writer really makes Cuba and in particular the tradditional worship of the Yoruba Orishas come to life.I also like the way it balances the good the bad and ugly of people without being judgemental or flippant. This could only have been a labour of love and I am not surprised the writer has taken a sabbatical before writing another master piece which I cannot wait to read. - LsC - Feb-12-2009   

Very touching story and I didn't want it to end. A must read! - LeaAnn - Aug-31-2009   

What an intense tale - and so believable. Compelling story, intriguing characters, drama, angst. It pulls you in and tugs at your heart strings. Also, a small glimpse into life in Cuba was very interesting. I do wonder why the US continues it's current policy against Cuba. - Anonymous - Oct-03-2010   

Yeah, this book is a real experience. I felt a poetry, a soul that absolutely touched me so very deeply. I felt like crying just reading the poems at the beginnigs of every chapters. This bard is a poet. She barrowed some of beautiful lines, but put the melancholy that lives in them in motion. - yuka - Apr-19-2011   

Phenominal read. So much emotion stirred up right now. Brilliant, just brilliant (and eye-opening). - ~M - Aug-05-2011   

Beautiful. Just sent this author an email encouraging her to write some more. Incredibly moving and inspiring man! - Nerdy One - Sep-25-2011   

Beautifully written story, enjoyed every moment and found I could not put it down until the end. Now that it is over I feel I miss my friends.
Next thing, I want to travel to Cuba... - Inema69 - Apr-28-2013   

A wonderfully written story. Do not miss this one. - Anonymous - Dec-29-2014   

There are no words adequate for this stunning novel.I agree with everything others have said.you do NOT want to pass this up. And be prepared to stay up all night because u will not want to stop until u finish. I too wish there was some way to contact her because Ana has talent one that should not be ignored. - Anonymous - Mar-19-2016   

If you havent read this story yet...I can only say one thing: READ IT!!! And read it now!! Figersmith just striked me as a fantastically gifted writer! And this is her first attempt to fiction...go figure! It's a wonderful story... sweet, funny, with such captivating characters that we all can relate to. It is very well writen and it can reach anyone's heart with so much joy. It talks about lost love - a theme that can strike a chord in anyone who went/goes through similar situations. And it also talks about love, friendship and all the emotions and fears and insecurities we all have at some point in our lives. Laura's character has an amazingly great sense of humor, being sarcastic at the right times, making you laugh no end. I really enjoyed this story so much, so I'd like to recommend it to anyone who hasnt read it yet. - Cris (aka Poppet) - Mar 30th, 2005   

I couldn't wait to see this story on the Atheneaum just so I could recommend it! I agree whole heartedly with Poppet...the story is wonderful and it is fantastically written. I actually read this twice in under two weeks!! You will not regret taking the time to read this fabulous story and you'll fall in love with the characters. Asgard - Asgard - Mar 30th, 2005   

I think I might have fell in love with this story. I was hooked from the first paragraph to the last sentence. I would recommend this to anyone who has had a broken heart. You won't be disappointed. - Meg - Mar 31st, 2005   

You will love this story!!! From beginning to end, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and on a roller-coaster ride of emotion. It is fast-paced, with never a dull moment, and you will surely fall in love with the characters as much as I have! Fingersmith is a truly gifted writer - witty one moment, delivering mouth-watering angst the next, all culminating in a climax of fulfilled dreams and a happy, happy ending (which, come on, we all love!!). I especially love the fictional scenario of supposed unrequited love, then discovering the passion is fully reciprocated - and Fingersmith manages to convey all this exquisitely!! She is a true, raw talent, who I think we'll all hear more from very soon - remember where you saw her first!! And Fingersmith, if you're reading this - if you publish we'll buy your books!!! From your Number One Fan! - Julie - Mar 31st, 2005   

A real roller coaster...I laughed (Fingersmith has a wicked sense of humour), and I cried (touching moments, well written) and I got horny!!!! (Fingersmith can write a mean sex scene!!!). All praise for this first time story, I look forward to many more. BTW if Fingersmith reads this I'd like to email her to congratulate and comment further, but it seems her email addy isn't working from the end of the story. - sapphie - Apr 4th, 2005   

B-e-a-utiful story! a must Must MUST READ! - katrina - Apr 8th, 2005   

This story is absolutely beautiful. The characters were believable and I couldn't help but become engrossed in the story. I loved it. I would reccommend this to anyone. But moreso to someone with a broken heart looking for a bit of hope. Or to someone who is love, but is afraid to say anything. No one would regret reading this story. I can't wait to read more from this very talented author. :) - MSAnderson - Apr 9th, 2005   

this writer is ace a superb story that flows, love with passion, a must read. - fan of xena - Apr 13th, 2005   

Wonderful, amazing, excellent! Fingersmith, you're the best! I can't wait for the next story! - leth cross - Apr 16th, 2005   

Definitely, one of the best stories I've read on here. Fingersmith's "Hearts and Flowers Border" is truely amazing. The style of writing is enjoyable and the overall story is wonderful. I eagerally await another story. - lena - Apr 16th, 2005   

Wow! What a story! I was captivated from the opening line and couldn't stop until I reached the end. This is definitely my all time favourite story on here. If you haven't read this ... it is a must must must read. Great characterisation and excellent writing. I need more! - Jenny - Aug 4th, 2005   

Great story. When I started reading this I couldnt stop till I finished.You have to read this story I guarantee youll love it and the characters as much as I DID. - yinyang - Oct 2nd, 2005   

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! When I finished reading this Holiday weekend, I realized I had consumed Fingersmith's stories in the reverse order they were written. It's a testament to her marvelous talent that her ability seems as polished in the first as it did in the last. Another wonderfully woven tale told with humor, insight, imagination and love. I am avidly awaiting the next story from this gifted author! - Therese - Dec 26th, 2005   

I read this last too but it doesn't make any difference. Loved it! Loved the style the writer has used. Full of humor and emotion and I couldn't stop reading once I started. Thank you. - Vicky - Jan 17th, 2006   

I absolutely loved every single word written....mind blowing. So much so, I went out and bought the book as Hearts and Flowers Border is now in paperback. Author is known as L T Smith, not Fingersmith. Loved the original version but holding the book in my hands and looking at the full version...was not disappointed. All of my friends have read it and all of them, and believe me there were quite a few, adored it whether they have read online version or not. Please give us more. I have to be your number one fan! - Jules - Jul-13-2006   

Just loved the book. Wow - JK - Jul-16-2006   

Simply terrific work from one amazingly talented bard! One minute I was laughing and then the next I had tears in my eyes. I've read hundreds of stories online and this one is certainly in a league of its own. Very easy to understand why this one has been published. Thank you Ms. Smith for this beautiful story. - Anonymous - Jul-29-2006

A well crafted and beautiful story that's a feast for the eye to imagine and the mind to see. Where has this author been hiding? - Kaye - Nov 22nd, 2005   

SIMPLY ELEGANT! Perfect in it's imagery. Bold AND subtle, just like the Japanese culture. A beautiful story of love, in a period torn by political violence and enormous cultural change. An unusual joining that was perfectly balanced. Light and dark. East and West. Yin and Yang. Beautiful. (Off to read the rest of her stuff!) - Evelyn - Nov 22nd, 2005   

Very well thought out story. I Love the cultural education I got while reading this. Amazing story, creating vivid images of what love and honour is truly all about. This is a keeper fer sure ! ! - Kelly - Dec 19th, 2005

Outstanding story. Love the plot. I too would like to see more of this story. For instance, how did Estuko come to live in Japan and become a samuri? Also, when I first started reading this story this morning, it was rated a 10 and when I finished to go and give my rating, it had dropped to a 9.36. Strange, very strange. I gave it a 10, which it well deserves. - Anonymous - Jun-01-2008

This is an amazing story full of contradictions! A innocent love story set in a land in complete turmoil. Where East meets West in explosive intensity and yet somehow love blossoms in the midst of it all. I love the choice of setting and time, when Victorian sensibilities clash with Japanese feudalism. If you're looking for something a little different, this is it. Don't miss it! - denniek - May-23-2010

A central theme in all of the alt Xena/Gabrielle ubers is that they are soulmates who, in each incarnation, feel instantaneously, inexplicably drawn to each other, compelled by a force that is profound and extraordinary. This story makes excellent use of this theme to craft tightly woven tale that would make an excellent foundation for a series. Hope the author decides to expand on this little gem. - XenaLives - Sep-18-2011   

Very well written story. The pacing and phrasing are perfect for the period and location. Romantic and fast paced, it's definitely worth a read:-) - Lyn B - Sep-27-2011   

The Labyrinth is one of the best-written pieces of Star Trek fiction I've read. It's smart and exciting with intrigue and action, and the characterizations seem spot-on. I usually go for T/7 stories, but this one centering on Janeway (to be paired with your interesting original character) definitely works for me. More soon please!! - Lisel - May-22-2007

This story is very well written and flows along so easy, the Island and its intriguing history and culture are a wonderful added bonus to this love story, It's isolation and harsh weathers makes you feel like you are actually there, this author has certaintly done her homework and delivers a bright, entertaining, thoughful and touching love story of two head strong independant women,one worldy and the other innocent, Shona's journey from her island home to the wonderful busy city of edinburgh will keep you reading for hours. Thank you Weebod for sharing this story.

A truly wonderful writer! I have recently read weebod's other story ( Conflict of Interest) which was excellent. This latest story Licit Cusp is definitely a winner, a truly entertaining, engaging story that you just don't want to come to an end....Read this story, you won't be disappointed....Brilliant!!! - Anonymous - Sep-24-2007

Brilliant! With good plot and character development, this turned out to be a very enjoyable read. And a learned a bit a Gaelic too! - Amber - Jul-07-2008   

This is a sweet, well written story. The character development was incredible. It has elements of a coming-of-age story in that one of the main characters has just left home for the first time as the story starts, and a lot of the friends have to come together to support each other. You don't want to pass this one up. - Word_Mage - Jul-08-2008   

I absolutely recommend this story and anything by this author. Thought I would sit and read a couple of pages - didn't move from the computer until I was finished. I would buy this one to have on my bookshelf. - LisaW - Jul-09-2008

I really loved this story!!! The love between the two was very heartwarming.This was my first Weebod story,now i'm going to read the others! - DBrown - Dec-25-2009   

Wow, this story is fantastic! The writing is superb, the characters more visceral than acquaintances you actually know in real life and the plot is simultaneously slice-of-life and yet, very compelling.

The story is primarily one of a girl emerging from a very secluded, backwards area and point of view into a broader world. I think that's a motif which those of us in the lgbt community in particularly tend to find particularly meaningful. Regardless of who you are, it's hard not to find this to be a beautiful story. - Anonymous - Jan-05-2010   

Truly a lovely story with characters that pull you in. One of my favorite authors. Highly recommended. I've read everything she has shared with us on this forum. Thank you. - Anonymous - May-21-2010

Open up Google Maps while reading this great story and you'll enjoy it even more. Weebod uses actual locations in her story (names changed to protect the innocent!) but it's not hard to pinpoint just about everywhere she mentions. I've learned tons about Scottish geography just from this one story. - Anonymous - Sep-29-2011

A shout out to Weebod who has given a rich and historical portrayal of Scotland through her wonderful stories. Independence was not to be, yet--they will know when the time is right. Thank you, Weebod, you put Scotland a little closer to my heart.

This is a wonderful story and I come back often to visit... - Samantha - Sep-19-2014

A story to love! - Whitney D. - Mar-06-2017   

please tell me the story continues... I have enjoyed Galaxy Dancers immensely. Wonderful characters, intriguing plot. You are a very talented bard. Thanks for sharing your talent ! Oh - will Kali and Lonnie ever get back together. I have to know - ha. - Anonymous - Jun-01-2010   

These stories are so interesting and unusual. I noted when I began the sequels that they were not finished but continued reading due to the storyline being so engaging and the characters so endearing. Now that I've read what there is I don't feel left in mid air without finality. In fact, I feel like a friend has left for a time and I can't wait to hear from her again. Plus, Leona is so unique that whether she ends with Kali as her beloved matters little because Leona is constantly surrounded by love. I only hope that her beloved love her with as much love as she'll receive. I will say though, that Part II had me wanting to leave the setting as much as Lonnie wanted to, also. Thank you, JA Bard, this is a genuine journey with friends. I hope to be in there presence again soon... - Teresa - Aug-12-2013

This is a very wonderfully written and touching story about two women's lives thru their final years. A very heartwarming tale that began in Generations Book 1 where Danni and Beth meet n fall in love to the trials they overcome and the building of their lives together and how their relationship makes a powerful impact on their friends and loved ones. Its a series NOT to be passed on, i myself stayed up the whole night reading the 3 books one after the other. This is a very talented piece of work u have written.

dont usually read NCIS stories, but i was EXTREMELY bored one night as i had run out of stories from the usual genre i read (xena/gab (duh)) : ) and i saw this one as a hosted story on the what's new page, and since i love the show decided i would read it...anyhow, moving to the point, i thought this was a very well written story and followed the character's personalities really well! great job! - Nicole - Mar-22-2010

This has definitely become one of my favorite stories. I could easily picture it as another NCIS episode the characters were so spot on. I especially liked the English mix-ups Ziva made. "Wild whores could not keep me away" was one of my favorites. Keep up the good work. - Hillsys Stalker - May-23-2010   

Great story with two of my favorite characters. Abby and Ziva are hot. I am so over DiNozzo though I am almost to the place where I would like something unpleasant to happen to him. - rleef - Jun-26-2010

One of my favourite NCIS fan-fiction's. The characters are so true to form. I love the progression of the story.

Another great fic from Lisa Countryman. I was familiar with her fics from Voyager fandom, and was happily surprised to find this fic from her. Now I've read this a couple of times, and it's just as good on repeated readings. I've, in fact, recommended this story on various other sites. - Anonymous - Jun-05-2011

My absolute favorite NCIS Ziva/Abby story. I could not stop reading. - Peg - Oct-02-2012   

Well, I think my recommendation is a little biased since this story was written by the woman I married last week. You'll forgive me this indulgence, I'm sure. I still read this one every year simply because she has done everything right: plot, characterization, and intrigue. Lisa's Ziva is the only Ziva I believe anymore. ;) - DiNovia - Jul-15-2013   

I have enjoyed all of D's stories. Seeing this come up in the recommendations made me go back and re-read it.

A wonderful story. Full of emotion, laughter and love. Couldn't help but cry and become attached to the characters. Excellent writing and depth in this novel. Highly recommend. - Niyah - Mar-11-2013   

Beautiful story, if you are given to crying easily bring your tissues. I was so caught up in the characters that I found myself crying many times because of the overwhelming emotions this story brings into play. Well written, well edited, excellent characters, definitely worth the read. - ~M - Jul-10-2013   

Wow, just WOW! Superb story with characters full of warmth, love, emotion and humour! Yes there's angst and yes you'll need tissues (but "The Storyteller's Cardinal Rule is in effect") You will need to put aside a straight weekend for reading for this one, but it is SO worth it. I cannot recommend this highly enough! - Shineygems - Feb-05-2014   

As I am reading Guardian Angel (about 1/4 of the way), I must stop and say : "This is Brilliant !!!"
O.K. now back to my reading... - orcsage - Feb-24-2016   

Well it is monumental, but it is worth the effort.
While not perfect, it gives the reader a tremendous reading experience, filled with imagination and enthusiasm, warm emotions and serious thinking. Awesome. - orcsage - Mar-03-2016   

I have to say, when I started reading this I thought it was going to be fifty-nine pages because I had previously saw a story that was fifty-nine pages long and for some reason it clicked into my head as the length for this story. I was in the middle of reading the introduction when I decided to pause and look at how long the story was before I could continue, and let me tell you, I was extremely surprised to find that it was seven hundred pages long. It was by far the longest story I had decided to read and have read. I was a bit put off and almost afraid to continue due to its length but I'm glad that I did continue. This was such a wonderful little sorry and I absolutely loved it. The characters were amazing, the plot was amazing, and the storytelling and writing was amazing. Please take the time to read it. I know the length is scary but it sure is worth it. - Anonymous - Mar-14-2016   

I read this story years ago. No matter how long ago that was, I still love it. This is an exceptional story. I recommend it to anyone. - Xebrite - Sep-01-2016   

A well written character driven love story that reminded me of how lucky some of us are to find our mates young and how others still struggle to be who they are. Loved it ! - Amanda - Sep-15-2016   

Loved this story D. Really love the story line as well. I do recommend you to read this story. Will be reading more from this author. - Anna28Carm - Oct-18-2016

This is a wonderful, brainy, stressfully angsty, scary, funny, scary love story! Zipplic is fabulous. Spice index low, because it's not THAT kind of love story, but if you find smart sexy, it's VERY sexy. - mary - Sep-18-2012   

Really dug this story. Excellent writing! I would definately buy this if it was available in hard copy as a keepsake for my collection of favorite novels. Thanks Zipplic. - Mishmash - Sep-20-2012   

I had read this awhile ago on another sight during the hiatus. I really enjoyed it and just wanted to thank Zipplic for the story. - Melpomene - Sep-20-2012   

I love all zipplics stories but this is definately the best so far. a well crafted plot; the kind of suspense that's a pleasure to read cos you trust the author not to descend into lazy mindless angst; better than anything i've read published in a long long time.. - Anonymous - Sep-29-2012   

Superbly written story, it grasps you in and keeps you wondering what might happen at every turn. Very well detailed characters, gloomy settings and plenty of twists, enough to never let the story go till you reach its end. An extremely pleasant read, thank you for having written it. - Lince86 - Sep-30-2012   

Brilliant story. Different, that's for sure, but still very well interesting. Kept me captivated till the last move!! - Niyah - Jan-16-2013   

Wow. What a read!! I have never has such an intense reaction to a fanfiction. I had to stop reading to gather myself on numerous occasions. This is as good as any published novel that you may read, and holy hell are you on the edge of your seat.

The quality is astounding. Run do not walk to this fiction. - Kez - Feb-24-2014   

Oh, this is a gem of a story. As the author says, it's dark, dark, dark - with an extra helping of dark. Anyone who was abused as a child will recognize Kit's grinding hopelessness, and it might be triggery to read. But the end is worth it, to see the dawning of the light. - Katherine - Aug-02-2016

This was a much better imagined resolution to the rift and so much more satisfying than the GabDrag. This actually made sense. Also, hot and well written. - BigZee - Jun-21-2013   

Loved this story. An old favorite of mine. Read if you want to banish the bitter suite from your memory. It shows a Gabrielle who is coming into her own. An excellent, explicit first time story. - Anonymous - Oct-30-2014   

Sometimes it really pays to wait until a story is finished - even if the wait seems rather long. After re-reading the first two Conqueror stories of LJMaas during the week, I just spent the most enjoyable (and sometimes rather hot) weekend since (almost) forever reading TFH. I'm really looking forward to the sequel. THis story simply is a MUST read!!!! - romansilence - Jul 19th, 2004   

Wonderful series. Thank you for all of the great reading hours you have provided us with. May you rest in peace knowing that you have contributed so much to so many people. We will miss you. - Anonymous - Oct 31st, 2005   

In my opinion,there are two bards that pretty much set the standards for X/G fiction. Melissa Good with her Journey of the Soulmates series and LJ Maas with this series. The stories are brilliant,the charcters vivid and the experience is absolutely fantastic.If you're looking for something to read and you have the time, read them. You'll love them! - Rangeela - Mar-24-2008

This is the third story in a wonderful series. A must read - Beckek1 - Jul-25-2017   

Another really great read from Advocate & T. Novan. This is a really great book in its self but to get a better feel, read Madam President first. I don't even know how many times I have read and re-read these stories. Keep up the great work and I could even use anothe sequel. - Robin Hicks - May 10th, 2005   

after seeing the recommendation a couple days ago I had to go back and reread the 2 stories AGAIN. I fall in love with the characters and become entwined into their lives each time I reread the stories. Wish there was another sequel that would be awsome. This story is a definite must read along with the 1st story madame president. - blazinangelwings - May 17th, 2005   

You can buy a published book (extra content) from here http://www.cavalierpress.com/store.htmHappy reading - it's a great pair of books and Advocate is a fantastic author. - Zero - May 24th, 2005   

This sequel to Madame President is great. A must read . - yin yang - Aug 20th, 2005   

Ok, here we go again. I just finished RE-READING Madame Presidant and First Lady AGAIN. I just can't seem to help myself. I do own the paperback books as well (which has seen much abuse.) You can not help but to fall in love with these two. If you haven't read these yet, well...you just need to cause you don't know what you are missing.

All i can say is wow this is the sequel to Madam President and the story is still hot and funny yeha for this outstanding duo of bards.
- Callisto - Feb-11-2008   

A fabulous follow-up to Madame President. This is one kind of fantasy I can get behind. And thanks for the added spice in this sequel. - calabria - Feb-12-2008   

I've no way to rate this higher than 10, or I would. After reading Madam President, I found out that a sequel, there was, and ordered both. I killed my entire day today reading this--totally enraptured. We need a First Couple like Lauren and Dev! - Anonymous - Feb-24-2009

Simply Amazing! I don't want to give any spoilers but you would be completely mad to overlook this epic novel! - Snuff - Sep 27th, 2003   

Extraordinary story. Tas is a very imaginative bard with excellent writing skills. Her characters and plot are well defined. In addition to providing a breathtaking adventure, discerning readers also come away with an insight and appreciation for the advantages an open society always has over a closed society. Epic, well worth the time. - Yvonne - Mar 21st, 2004

Man I'm speechless all I can say without giving out spoilers is that this story is A MUST READ!!! Anybody who doesn't is crazy not too. - Krysta - Sep 1st, 2005   

I've read this before and will read it again. The characters are well developed and interesting. The world they live in is based on honor and magic. I'm a fantasy reader and this story fits right in.

Awesome story, I have read this story 4 times already and each time get more out of it. When oh when will it be published. Please continue it and tell us what happens.
Thank you for writing it. - LuvTigger71 - Jul-19-2007   

I absolutely loved this story! I could so totally see the two characters as looking like Xena and Gabrielle - but you say you wrote this before being introduced to the Xenaverse, what a cool coincidence! I love it, I love it, I love it! I know that this story is complete as is, but I would really enjoy hearing more from these two beautiful ladies... what do ya say? Sequal anyone? If not a sequal, then please write more in other realms you are a talented bard! - Akiela Xal - Aug-08-2007   

Avery long story, but well worth the read... - Tinker - Aug-22-2007   

Wow!!! What a great read, I find I can read it again and again. I would love to read more involving these characters. - Sammy - Aug-25-2007   

One of the many things in Life taken for granted is freedom, any sort just being free is not something afforded to everyone. The freely given work of Tas is not to be taken lightly, which is probably why I have read and re-read this tale too many times to recall. I still come away with the same feeling, what a shame I cannot carry a tattered copy of this work, in the folds of a bound book... while on my way again to the movie theater to watch it just one more time on a 15 foot by 25 foot screen, before it gets sent to DVD for posterity... One can only hope. Thanks Tas, eagerly waiting for more. One of the best READS ever!! - Terre - Nov-06-2007   

READ THIS -- it's long but definitely worth it. Hope the author is working on a sequel. Great story with lots of interesting characters, adventure, romance, etc. No wonder it's a perennial favorite. - cam - Nov-18-2007   

If this was in book form, my copy would be dog-eared. I cannot tell you how many times I have read this story. I keep coming back to it. It is so well developed, the "world" is fascinating and the characters are well developed. I would love to see a sequel, however I am very happy to have this to re-read as much as possible. Absolutely wonderful writing. - Brooklyn Xena Fan - Feb-01-2008   

This is a story that I have read more times then I can count(literaly). The characters, and the world they live in, grasps ahold of you and doesn't ever let you go. If Tas would take pity on us and write a sequel, I'm sure that that story would also be on my re-reread list. - Anonymous - Feb-09-2008

What a wonderful story. It's a bit long, and in fact could have been two separate stories; but the characters are enjoyable and memorable. The women of Dyan are very impressive and well worth the effort to get to know them. The writing is engaging and the writer managed to create a world of magic and mages that is beautiful and believable, without wasting too much precious reading time on backstory. Excellent. - allgood2 - Jun-14-2009

You know, I just loved this story. Very sweet, practically angst free... Well done ladies. A wonderful read. It's how High School should have gone, for all of us. If I had any critique, it would be that the secondary characters needed more depth. Would have transformed this from a novella to a novel, but didn't detract from my enjoyment one bit. - RoxyTrek - Mar 6th, 2004   

Great read! Made me nostalgic for some of those old times of sneaking glances at those cheerleaders and trying to make my move in the same shy ways Palmer did. I loved it! I also liked the secondary characters. Everyone should have had such friends in high school. - Alex Tryst - Mar 12th, 2004   

Great story. I really enjoy the way she writes. - Anonymous - May 4th, 2004   

The first word that comes to mind is... cute.The title reveals a lot. It'a about a girl who plays football and falls for a cheerleader. Cute! - lectra - Aug 15th, 2004   

this was a very cute story , It brought back memories I have forgotten, this is one the sweetest ones I've read so far. I absolutly love it. - arly - Mar 7th, 2005   

Oh, this is a sweet story... Kim and Alexa are definitely great writers and their stories are all excellent. - Summer Sun - Mar 25th, 2005   

Very cute highschool sweetheart kind of tale. And without the big time skip right in the middle of an angst. - Mile D'Cast - May-09-2007   

omg, this is the perfect story for those who wants to have a taste of high school romance. very sweet and makes you feel warm and fuzzy in your stomach! - lxlanimefreaklxl - Feb-23-2008

Great story! Makes me think about the good old high school days. I loved this sweet story and would recommend to all. Agin another wonderful story by Kim & Alexa, Thank you both. - Tracey - Sep-03-2008   

I adored this story. Palmer and Kent are just soooo cute! I'm really glad I took the time to read it, along with other works by these two. I give it a 10 on the awesome scale. - Hillsys Stalker - Sep-04-2008   

This is a high school story that is doesn't make you wince or cringe. There's only a small bit of M/F interaction but it is only one of the character's breaking up with her on again, off again boyfriend. Both main characters give up there innocense to each other. For gay women this story is safe to read. Thank you, KP and AH, this one's a keeper. Excellent story. - Samantha - Sep-06-2008   

Another wonderful story! - Angelicrainbw - Mar-10-2009

I had read it years ago. Loved it. Very entertaining. - Millie D'Cast - Nov-07-2009   

This is the second time I read this sweet storie, and I think it won't be the last. Sometimes a storie like these take you to the essence of things, and make you feel so good about love, people,and your place in the world. Pritekel and Hoffman's writing do so much in a few pages. Hope there will be more to share. Thanks! - Lucian - Apr-14-2010   

Loved the mush ! Now that was such a sweet story. I wish high school could have been like that back in my day. Hope it's like that now. Sweet, sweet. Thanks for sharing this story. - Anonymous - Jun-15-2010

Very cute and sweet, yet it was hot as well! Great story. - TKD Vixen - Apr-28-2011   

as a high school teacher in an all boys school i can tell you most have very distinctive ideas about gays.. none too flattering.. i think its just part of puberty to fight against things unknown and misunderstood.. hence my continuing battle against prejudice amongst my pupils.. the scene at the prom being very recognizable for me.. the openmindedness grady and di exibit a sad unreality (is that actually a word?) in our puberescent world today.. luckily most harsh opinions and prejudices against gays tend to wear off once puberty is over.. - Anonymous - May-26-2011   

I didn't comment this novella the first time I've read it. My recommendation will not differ with the others. This tale shows how things should be happening for everyone. I had this melancholy stuck in my chest when I finished reading it, knowing too well all of it was truly to good to be realistic, but I have to thank again these two wonderfull bards. I want to thank them for their tremendous work, for wanting to offer the readers, a piece of what the world should be like for two young women falling in love with each other. Love without guilt, or dramatic dilemmas, or hatred, or the fear to loose everything... Love without all of this ugly, unfair and so realistic suffering is really beautifull... don't you think? :) - yuka - Jun-01-2011   

high school sweet high school. you wanna relive old days, when you were struggling with emotions? yeah? then read this beautiful story :D - braniac - Jan-10-2012

WHen I first readed this I couldn't tear my eyes off of the screen and I HAD to finish it even if it meant that I would have to stay up all night. BUT when I finished this, it wasn't enough so I started over again and read this for the second time. The lovely part is that I'll always return to this story to read it, because it has just something addicting that I have to return to read this all over again and again. I would say that this is the best story I've ever read ! Thanks Kim for writing this wonderful story. You should all read this.

This was a really amaxing Piece of work. I don't know which is my favorite, "CONTROL" OR "WILD" I love when I can become so caught up in a story that I can "feel" the emotions of the characters. I bow down to these two remarkable authors!! - K. Lewis - Feb-15-2008

Loved it. Very romantic. Zac is just a wonderful character. Just the right amount of drama. Ending could have been less corny though.. - Bloo - Oct-21-2008   

I've read this story like twenty times over the years and I never get bored or tired of it. Kim Pritekel's writing is always well plotted and exceedingly well written. I know whenever I see her put a new story out that it's bound to be awesome. "Wild" does not disappoint. An all time Top 10 in the Xenaverse and beyond! - Kishmari69 - Nov-08-2008

This should be published! I'd love to have my own copy to keep. One of my all-time favorites! - Luie - Feb-23-2009   

Thanks so much for this story. I can't believe I never read it, I guess the 'Drama' genre put me off as I'm a sucker for mushy romances. I'm so glad I decided to give it a shot after realizing that it has received over 400 ratings. It's now officially my favourite story, EVER. Not kidding! - Alicia - Mar-03-2009

Kim Pritekel is a wonderful storyteller, very imaginative, embracing a large panel of genres, from romance to drama, from teenage to mature characters, and her association with Alexa Hoffman is successful.

LOVE this story!!! Zac made me laugh again and again. A very entertaining story - you'd be missing out if you don't read! - Jane - Jun-30-2010   

Wild will not let me go! The story just grabs you and doesnt let go until your sure the everything turns out right in these characters world. It is a beautiful woven web of emotion from beginning to end. I have read this story more then a few times and I can not walk away from it until I reach the end. For me that is a true hallmark of a superb writer(s). - Spark1e1 - Jul-22-2010

When I saw that Ms. Aurelia had written a sequel to this story, I came back to refresh my memory, and am I ever glad I did! This was an incredibly entertaining read the first time through and even more so on the re-read. Aurelia has an affinity for the written word, and an obvious love for antiques and history. Thanks for sharing your wonderful imagery and marvelous story telling! - Therese - Apr-26-2006   

I just discovered this little gem. What an awesome concept! And the sex? Whew! My computer nearly had a meltdown! I highly recommend this wonderful tale. I am off to read the sequel. - fj - Dec-30-2006

This has to be one of the most refreshing, innovative stories I have read in a long time. Adventurous, sexy, mysterious and, of course, the surprise that ties it all together. I can't say what that surprise is, so everyone will have to read it for themselves to find out. You won't be disappointed. - gray - Jul-23-2008

WOW!!!! This is such an amazing and totally unexpected story. It's so much more than just being HOT, sensual, erotic, loving and innocent all rolled into one. The story behind it is fascinating and totally believable. YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THIS!!!! Luckily for us all, there are two seuqels to it. - mel - Mar-30-2009   

I came across this accidentally and said to myself "self - go read the first one and see what this is about". I made myself sooooo happy!! This is a totally immersing storyline. You feel the characters anguish on a personal level. You can feel the attraction and pull. The author does an amazing job of recreating the times for the feel of the story and gives you the integral information needed for you to feel comfortable in it. YOU MUST read all 3 of these stories. - XNU - Apr-27-2009

This beautiful tale is romantic, erotic, sensual ! It will make you sit back and fantasize about how it would be to unleash that dark, mysterious, primitive animal instinct in you. No consideration of the consequences as you risk and forfeit all, including reason in the name of true love and burning passion. Mon Dieu ! Je suis l'esclave à cela.... - Thothgirl - Jun-22-2011   

Dang. I thought the first one was steamy. But this one....wooo weee! Totally erotic. Okay, getting mind out of gutter...the sequel....damned good one! Excellent job! I did NOT see that coming! It is certainly turning into quite the adventure. Well written, hot, interesting concept, and entertaining as all hell. I love surprises and this one delivers! Number three is due out....when???? - Sharon D. - Apr-05-2006   

SWP??? Doesn't that mean Sex With Plot??? I don't think so. Hmmm, let's try a Great Plot with Great Sex. GPGS!There's some scenes in there that are just priceless. What a grasp of the characters and the real human element. Strangely believable, if that's possible. Great job. - SueB - Apr-05-2006   

When I saw there was a sequel out I just had to go back and reread this first one.
You know, this is a great little story.
Vivid, funny, beautifully flawed characters.
Real passion.
And surprises.
Wonderful story.
Wonderful sequel.
Looking forward to more of this adventure...thru the looking glass. - angelia v. - Apr-05-2006   

Woman, you can certainly spin a story. Well, the first was a great fantasy story with a very interesting concept. This one had more...meat...to it. I caught myself believing it. LOL
Okay, I'm hooked. Where is the third part going to take us? Really looking forward to it. - Leona D. - Apr-14-2006   

I love that this is billed as "Part 2", implying there are more parts to come... YIPPEE! It takes considerable talent to have people believing in make-believe, and Aurelia has the pen, wit, insight, and general wordsmithing ability to do just that! I happily add my name to the list of believers. Thanks for another engaging read! - Therese - Apr-26-2006

I have been held captive by this on-going story of adventure, love, and passion since I began the first part. With part two, my beloved classical music was playing in the background while I eagerly read the lines. It was glorious ! Total perfection - the music increased the intensity of the story, and my god, I was instantly transported there myself. I was deeply affected when the Passacaglia from Suite 7 in G Minor by George Frideric Handel (Conducted by Vladimir A. Rylov) filled the air. The love and passion between these two women was living and palpable and completely enveloped me. Now that is what I call feeling a story !! And now on to part 3 I go. Sigh .... - Thothgirl - Jun-23-2011   

Very cute story, and it will definitely be on the way to the top 25 list. Congratulation for both of you. Please keep writing. - amy - Mar-17-2008

Not only funny, but intriguing and so emotionally exausting that sometimes you want to yell to the characters and say: COME ON...GIVE UP OR GO WITH THE FLOW!!
A standing ovation to the bards, that togheter wrote a marvellous story, and a little prayer that they write a sequel. I'd like to know how their relationship go on, please, pretty please!! - Imma - Mar-18-2008

So damned cute! - Anonymous - Aug-25-2008   

This is such an adorable story. I hope we see Clancy and Carman again soon. - bj - Sep-08-2008   

This is a great story. Angsty in a funny sort of way but still heartwrenching. Let's hope that these two writers get together again soon and write another winner. - Anonymous - Feb-21-2009   

This is a delightful story from two great writers, and certainly one that begs for a sequel. I have to know how Clancy handles all that's happened to her. She's a little bit ditzy, a little bit savvy and a whole lot confused. Loved this story. - Anonymous - Mar-19-2009   

Irrestible! We need more! - offhermeds - Mar-24-2009

That was a very sweet story. I loved the whole first time finding yourself theme. The Authors really captured the essence of the whole awkward dance between two people meeting, dating and falling in love. Great job guys and a great tale. - uber goober - Sep-25-2010

FOR THE PERSON WITH THE COMMENT BEFORE MINE YOU CAN BUY THIS BOOK ON IBOOK UNDER JACKIE KENNEDY . Buy it you will love it x - SD - Feb-03-2016   

I usually don't go for stories with this much angst, but this tale was just so gripping that I couldn't look away. Five stars, 10/10, the top score in any rating system you choose. This story made me laugh, it made me cry, it made my heart ache. It made me so grateful for what I have, and reminded me that hope is never gone. Read this. If you skip it, you're doing yourself a disservice. - Rae D. Magdon - Feb-10-2010   

Oh wow, this story was amazing!! loved it - Anonymous - Feb-11-2010   

a lot of angst, but wow what a great story.. definitely needs a sequel - helena c - Feb-11-2010   

This is the first recommendation i have ever left, and i can only say this story was amazing!
I rarely de-lurk, despite having read numerous great (and terrible!) stories over the years, but this has to rank in my top 3.
What a fantastic writer. This should defintely be published and if it is not, I can only say there is no justice in this world!
Can't wait to see what you write next. For god's sake don't stop!! - Bungle - Feb-12-2010   

Funny,erotic,heartwarming and heartbreaking. A thought provoking, beautifully written story that lingers on after the last word is read. - lynn k - Feb-12-2010

Wow! Another outstanding story that I seriously couldn't step away from. As with all your stories, I didn't want it end...was completely enthralled from start to finish. Thanks so much for writing and sharing it. - Ginger - Feb-17-2010   

Wow, what a read. Angsty and hot in just the right measure. Brilliant stuff- a
must. - Bensongrrl - Feb-18-2010   

Truly an angst ridden tale with much drama and love! Kept me riveted to my seat with many surprising twists and turns. Not your usual love story, but a great one none the less. One of the best I've read in a long time. - legatoeff - Feb-19-2010   

**** SPOILER ALERT **** Ok... well how do I start, this story is very gripping, it's painful, you start slowly, lightly but then it's not so light anymore and you have to keep reading to reassure yourself that they will (and you will in consequence) get a happy ending. In the end, this story was too poignant to allow me to sleep, because it made me reflect on a lot of topics afterwards. MUST READ - Anonymous - Feb-19-2010   

Wow!
This was a truly riviting story. So many times after
reading a page. I couldn't quiet my mind. It had me
reflecting on the characters and their connections.
Run don't walk and read this most compelling piece of
work. - Christi - Feb-24-2010   

A really great read!
I have been a little melancholy all day because I finished this story last night and now I miss the characters so much.

What a gem! 10/10 - OmisLiebling - Feb-27-2010   

If you feel like there's nothing original out there, and you're in need of a good story, read Denial. I bet my recommendation reputation that you will adore this story & not want to stop reading...even when you've read "The End." - IB - Mar-03-2010   

So heart wrenching, so amazing - Anonymous - Mar-05-2010   

What an incredibly powerful story. This author has woven an exquisite tapestry with light and shade and everything in between .Adjectives escape me but these will have to do ..intelligent,well paced,emotionally gripping,tragic, uplifting and incredibly erotic ...and all of them at just the right times and in just the right measures.I have already re-read this 3 times and have joined this forum just so I could comment.This is a unique story and while it cannot be compared to any other I have read I am reminded of my other favourite story by K Alexander "An Audience with the Side walk Saviour" in that both leave you feeling like you have been on an emotional roller coaster and both stay with you long after the reading. Well done to Omega13.You are very very gifted. - prufrock - Mar-05-2010   

Oh fuck me - pretty much sums up this fic, or was at least my reaction to it. Gorgeously written high class drama drenched in angst and extreme hotness while staying away from the cliche's. Punched the air of of my luigns (that's the joint description of loins and lungs). A definite must read. - Ape - Mar-10-2010

WOW!! I don't know where to begin! Never have I been so deeply affected by a story! Omega13 is one very talented author. This story needs to be published or turned into a screenplay! I cannot stop thinking about these characters. This is one of the most heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching, erotic, emotional rollercoasters I have ever had the privilege of taking a ride on! And what a ride it was! At certain points in the story my heart actually hurt and I wept openly for each and every one of the characters, and smiled and felt a sense of joy when it ended. I would love to hear more about Celeste's and Amy's life together. It seems to me that there is still much more to tell about these two wonderful characters and there families. Bravo Omega13! This is a masterpiece, and I look forward to reading more from you hopefully in the very near future! This is a tour de force and rates a 10 all around! - Anonymous - Mar-19-2010

**** SPOILER ALERT **** The story is really captivating. It has witty and very sad moments, only thing i didn't like was the shortcut end. But as we al know, every story needs to end... (sorry for any bad english, I'm not a native speaker) - thorstochter - Mar-31-2010   

I rarely de-lurk but thanks to you, Omega13, my Sunday with pals was completely hijacked. I had planned to max out my flexible friend on a shopping spree that the Beckhams wouldve been proud of. Have a slap-up lunch, swallow it down with a good few glasses of two-for-one vino tinto and prop it up with a gossip session that involved sex and who was and wasnt getting any, who was nearly getting any, who had pencilled in the potential of getting any. You get the picture, Im sure. But, as I like to snuggle in my bed a little longer on the Sabbath, I thought Id visit this site and catch a few chapters of the latest posting. Big mistake. Once I clicked on the link to Denial, I was hooked. So hooked, I soon hit the point of no return and couldnt put my laptop down. This isnt your usual happy-clappy forgettable pap, I reassured myself as I fumbled for the phone to re-arrange my day.
You created a captivating, vivid world, filled with two smart, strong-willed, complex and very sassy women. They not only surprised and amused me, but at certain points they broke my heart. Equally, I loved the dialogue, and the fact that you used the verb said to carry it. Not too many gasped, grumbled, cautioned, or she asseverated. Yes. I had to look that one up too.
This story not only rubbed my emotions raw, but also got up close and very personal. All in all top marks, because as exceptional writer should, you made me cry and hiccup like a ten-year old over characters that dont exist and events that have never happened.
If you ever get this published, Omega13, your novel will find a snug and well loved place on my bookshelf. For me, this ones definitely a keeper, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
- Sarah - Mar-31-2010   

WOW! This is truly a FANTASTIC story. I LOVED it from the first paragraph to the last. I hated that it ended and could have kept reading about these complex, yet wonderful characters. I really hope this gets published; I would definitely buy it. - Barb - Apr-01-2010   

Amy has it all, but to her detriment she soon discovers that she wants something else more. This exceptional story will make you laugh, it will make you think and it will break your heart. It's very well written, has captivating characters, a superb plot and it's hotter than hell! You can't put it down once you've started. I look forward to more work from this author. What an absolute GEM! - Sai - Apr-01-2010

**** SPOILER ALERT **** Not your usually fanfic romance - it is romance but lots of conflicts which touch on very sensitive issues. So this story is thought provoking on many levels. The manuscript is very well beta read with only minor errors which is an added bonus. The end could have been a bit more elaborate since so many people were affected. - bookgeek - Apr-10-2010

Very good read! ^^
This bard has managed to catch some aspects of desire in a really realistic way! She seems to like complicated situations, complicated feelings, but all of this leads to only one painting, full of nuances and powerfull contrasts... one of the kind of love that drives someone to distraction.
My words may sound pretty "classique" but this story keep in its core an essence that touch the reader in the most particular way. So read it and you'll feel your stomack tickling a few times...

Nicely done, love the sensuality and lead up in the story line. While I do not normally like to read "tragedies" this one grabbed me and I could not put it down. Suffice to say if you have insomnia do start this before bed if not pace yourself:) - Liz - Apr-22-2010

A great read. Looking forward to more from this Author - Anonymous - May-15-2010   

This story has lots of VERY SUPER HOT AND EROTIC SEX SCENES (about a half a dozen extended ones) that I immediately clipped and pasted into my ebook, under the title 'Cherry Dreams' to read over and over at night before I go to bed. This story had it all - forbidden love, tragedy, epic romance and contact from the great beyond. Love it! - happykt - May-11-2010 - happykt - May-21-2010   

Honestly, this is the best story I've read in a very long time. The journey that these two women go through pulled me in completely. If you do anything this weekend, read this story. It truly is wonderful. - Karen - Jun-18-2010   

One of the best stories I have ever read. And most definitely very hot. Very angst-ridden, but tastefully done. Definitely WELL-RECOMMENDED! - Jane - Jul-09-2010   

Electric!!! Has everything, unrequited love, happy, sad, and really really sad. Excellent read. - Anonymous - Jul-15-2010   

Now THIS is what I call a story. I've decided to come out of lurk-land and post my very first recommendation cause this one is entirely worth it. This is the second time I've read this story, in one entire day no less, and I just can't get enough of all the intense conflict and interaction between Amy and Celeste. There is nothing better and more heartbreaking than a forbidden romance. And to top it all off, I could not stop listening to Radiohead's "House of Cards" while reading this...it's the perfect theme song for this brilliant novel. It kinda feels like the story stemmed from the song itself with the lyrics "I don't wanna be your friend, I just wanna be your lover" in the beginning and "denial" repeating over and over at the end.

Recommended to anyone whose willing to ignore the world for a couple of hours and just disapper into the passionate lives of Celeste and Amy. - warriorqueen - Jul-17-2010

I've ignored and passed this story by for months without a thought. Finally nearly bored to tears this weekend I decided to give it a whirl... BEST DECISION EVER!!!!! Hands down "Denial" has catapulted to one of my all time favorites. Thanks Omega13 :) You did an amazing job at keeping me glued. I laughed. My stomach lurched. My heart breaked. I hoped. And finally, you delivered. Bravo!!! - Myinnerme - Aug-03-2010

I recently read this author's Star Trek Voyager work and truly believe it is up there amongst the best.

Beautiful. Hard to find the right words to describe the emotional impact it has on you. A Powerful story, amazingly deep characters that you fall in love with instantly. This story is gripping, yet tender, joyful and still filled with the sorrow of life. It is one of the most touching stories I have ever read. All I can say is, thank you for sharing this with all of us. I would say that to not read this, would be to cheat yourself of something truly wonderful. - Fern - Dec-26-2010

The most perfect story ever! It's been a month since I read it and it still resonates in my mind. Only a handful of stories like this out there. READ IT NOW! - DS-C - Jan-16-2011   

I'm with the other 163 readers who have left some brilliant comments on how good this story is. It's outstanding. There are only a few stories out there that resonate like this one for me and I haven't read one like this in a very, very, very long time. I like the reader before, have revisited this story time and time again, and each time, I connect with it. It's magnificent. Quite literally stunning, what else can I say but read it.

- Michelle - Jan-18-2011   

Sometimes I'll read stories based on recommendations and 95% of the time I think "That was okay, but not great. The story did not move me." HOWEVER, this is a masterpiece! It is beyond great and wonderful in every way imaginable. You know without a shadow of a doubt that the two characters loved each other. And that's what makes a brilliant story. - DS-C - Jan-23-2011

Hi Folks,

I just want to say how stunned I am. Wow! Who knew that getting in to trouble for day dreaming thoughout my entire school life would eventually pay off!

And just to compound the daydreaming, I also suffer from compulsiveness. So, I'm about to do the one thing that I shouldn't - which is to write something when I've had a few glasses of wine. The reason is that I need to share my happiness at the Xenafiction site folks for doing what is clearly a huge amount of hard graft for not a single penny and with such aplomb. And to you folks for giving me such a stonker of a surprise.

This is a bitter sweet time for me. I have a friend who was diagnosed with cervical cancer. As it turned out it was all consuming. My friend did that thing that many of us do which is to ignore our own health while looking after others. And when she finally got it checked, it was too late. So she fought the good fight and bowed out graciously just the other day. She leaves behind a legion of family and friends, and husband and a five year old son. She was a fiery red head with a husky voice and a personality that resonated with gizillions of love. She was too young. Too full of live and had too short a time here.

This morning, I went to work and left - couldn't really stay focused. I came home and just needing some time alone - cooked. Cooking (whatever is to hand...which is sometimes scarey)is my passion. And bunging my concoction in the oven, I topped up my glass of wine and sauntered over to my laptop, and thought I would escape for a wee bit by visiting my favourite site that I hadn't been to in while.

Blimely...What a shocker...I've hit the jackpot...10 number 1's and not a Photoshop boob in sight...And story of the year. After doing a jig, I thought it must be a mistake...Do they realise how many good stories are out there on this site?

But, after a few quiter woops and a few less enthusiastic jigs, I read through the the 25'er lists, and by jove, it looks like little ole me actually did it....Yeahah!

So, all I can say is that when I sent Denial in. I think it was my third story by then. The other two being J/7 fanfic. I didn't expect much, and was thrilled to see that people were giving feedback. But to get such a huge response with Denial has been amazing. I never, ever thought that it would touch so many of you.

So, to shorten this very long story. I just want to say cheers for reading Denial, and that Amy and Celeste are stilll very much alive, in my head, and continuing to blossom as a couple and as a family (arguing occassionally then making up in that fiercely hot way that they do...rooorrrhhh...)

And to finish...Annemarie. Here's to you, doll. We love you.
- Omega13 - Feb-09-2011   

OMG. That's the first thing that comes to my mind after reading this fanfic. I have never been so touched by ffs before. You knew exactly when, where and how to push all our emotional buttons without sounding cheesy and too melodramatic. Everyone already gave you glowing recommendations. Let me just address you directly. Omega13 you are so blessed to have this god-given gift, and we are so blessed that you are writing femslash. I will go back and re-read my favorite sections of Denial (actually anything about Celeste) when I'm done with my work (couldn't get any work done today just had to finish reading it). And thank you SO MUCH for having mercy on us by giving us the epilogue. BTW, I'm so thankful I came back to this site to make this comment or I wouldn't have seen the epilogue, as I had read the PDF version of Denial and its not there. [Editor's Note: The epilogue is now included in the eBook versions. 02-23-2011]

It is a great lovestory, and after finishing it 10 minutes ago I wonder if is normal to just start at page one again. And now I'm finishing this review, I have a book to reread :) - Anonymous - Mar-04-2011   

Would love a sequel, please...... - Anonymous - Mar-05-2011   

There are so many twists- I loved the ride... Deeply painful at times, amazing sex & the intensity..oh the intensity. Loved it. Highly recommend! - surferdp - Mar-13-2011   

I can't even begin to express how much love I have for this absolutely brilliant story! God, just so wonderful! Read, read, read! - Anonymous - Mar-21-2011   

I love this story. Please write anything you wish. I will read and recommend it. Your stories are wonderful. - Anonymous - Mar-28-2011   

Second read, just as good as the first. - ~M - Apr-15-2011   

Such a beautiful story! WOW

I have to say that when I heard about this story I didn't really want to read it, I usually don't read novels whithout a teaser or a resume.
So I googled it to see if I could find anything, after readind a review I have to say I still wasn't sure. I was afraid there was to much angst, and I'm not a fan of stories that covers several years in time. But I'm curious and I had to find out about this 10 times top 25 story. I started reading it yesterday night and I could move from my chair since.

SO people if you are like me and hate those kind of stories that are too angsty, if you afraid that this story is the kind that keeps it's characters for years(and entire chapters) at the botom of the well, believe me this one is nothing like that, it's so well written that you don't see the years passing. This author is such a good writer that with only a few words she says what some people strugle to write with a thousand words. I get bored very easily and I'm the kind of reader that jumps the boring stuff. And I have to say that this author kept me intrigued from the very first word to the last one!
Bravo! - Raf_51 - Apr-24-2011   

just read this story and you will undwerstand why it won the highest award. the story grips from begin to end love love love it - Anonymous - Apr-26-2011   

One of the best I've read in awhile. I'll definitely re-read this one! I wonder if a sequel is in the offing? - TKD Vixen - May-01-2011   

Great read, you will not be able to stop reading until its done. - hovercat1 - May-23-2011   

That was a truly beautiful story. - Danny - May-23-2011   

I am usually not a huge fan of angst-- I mean, I love me some tension but even Missy Good"s stories are sometimes too angsty for me :) But this was, in a word, AMAZING. The angst is so worth it for the great story and phenomenal writing. READ IT!!!!! It deserves all of the accolades it has gotten and then some. Can't wait for a sequel! - twinsparadox - May-25-2011

What a find this one was!! Brilliant writing!!! - JC - Aug-14-2011   

Thanks to the hundreds of reviewers before me and their thoughtful, accurate, and heart-felt words, there are no new compliments I can add. Everything has already been written. Yes, you cannot deny (egad, I really wrote that!) that Omega13 is blessed with a God-given gift, and she executes it masterfully. This is not "simply a story," it's peeking (yes, I mean that) into these fully-developed characters' / people's lives and experiencing everything they are living; it's an adventure. It is THE ride that never stops going around and around. I think I might get tired of it, I think I might want off, but no! I want more of it. I don't want it to end. I will read this again and again, and I will feel again the emotions I felt the first time...I have no doubts. I am exhilarated and exhausted and sad and happy, and oh so turned on! And I want more of Celeste and Amy and their families. - Anonymous - Aug-18-2011   

This one is definitely a must read!! It was like a rollercoaster ride, amazing characters, I give it a 10! - F - Aug-22-2011

Best story ever! Gay or straight - Anonymous - Oct-15-2011   

So much for the weekend chores, not to mention the red rimmed eyes. Couldn't put it down, didn't put it down. Loved it. Ready to start it all over again. - Piedpiper - Oct-17-2011   

awesome story. - sassy123 - Oct-29-2011   

wow wow wow, after i've read this story i understand why it was Story Of The Year.please there has to be a sequel to this story. - braniac - Nov-21-2011   

Read this work and get wet. very interesting. love the plot goes wit my kind of mind. You re a very good writer with the right mind. Love it. - Chinwe - Nov-21-2011   

I can't believe that it has taken me this long to read this story and - guess what - I ended up devouring it in one sitting. There is so much that can be said and has been said about this novel that I'll never do it justice in in one or two paragraphs. But for me, this is a mouth gaping, air sucking, eybrow raising, chest clutching proper love story. It's filled with real people and their intertwined struggles. And I got hooked on Celeste and Amy - on their issues, their compromises, and their overall journey to find themselves and each other.

Seriously, this story really touched me. So much so, that I re-read it right away, and I can't recommend it enough. Just so you know, I am very pernickty reader and this will be one of the very few novels that I'll re-visit often because even though it's a romance, it's also a very insightful and grounding book. - LIbby33 - Dec-19-2011   

Angst Alert!! There are few lesbian romance stories that surprise me. This one did in a wonderful way. As I read, I found myself questioning my own moral code and thought provoked by what the characters were trying to workout. Somewhere along the journey I found myself setting aside my own personal beliefs and hoping for love to overcome even in such circumstances. - DD - Jan-06-2012   

Just remarkable... - Taylor - Feb-19-2012   

Amazing! It took me a few chapters to understand the connections between everyone, but I could not stop reading once I got started. - Anonymous - Mar-26-2012

I couldn't even remember the last time a fanfic kept me up at night and a zombie for work the next day. After reading this fic, I now do. Seriously, simply OUTSTANDING! SO FREAKING HOT! So much passion and love... I'm not a big Star Trek fan, so I'm hoping for more ubber pieces by Omega13!!! o/ - Babyjune - Apr-29-2012

oh my this story has it all! Anger, passion, angst, longings, desire; again all locked up in one jar. Just like the story ''Playing the role for herself''. This is real life, without this much emotion life wouldn't be much of a challenge. Regardless of anyone's sexual orientation and culture this story is absolutely splendid. - Anonymous - Sep-12-2012   

What a great beautiful story!!! I couldn't stop reading until the end. Thank you very much for sharing it! - Ayla - Sep-29-2012   

**** SPOILER ALERT ****
Just read this story and couldnt help stopping by to say how truly amazing it is. So full of drama and 'on the edge', yet so bright and full of light, and, above all, so real, deeply emotional and permeated with life&
At the end it reminded me somewhat of Jonathan Carroll style.
As an international journalist I know exactly what it means to be on the ground in places like Somalia. So, dont know if uve really been to MSF, Omega13, or are somehow related to it, but I can tell u for sure that your description is totally realistic and true, adding a lot to immersion into the story. Its a bit sad that u didnt give it a go by publishing more broadly. I only encountered it by accident (thank God I did :)), and I can clearly see how this story could become more popular. I really hope that someone would film your stunning story one day.
So thanks so much for sharing it, Omega13! - Jordan Moonfire - Nov-13-2012   

I've read this story so much that it has now become a favourite in my collection. It's an amazing read and I can't recommend it enough. - LornaB - Nov-26-2012   

Okay, guys, tell me isn't it published yet? I need this book on my nightstand. That's the best I've ever read. A real Masterpiece. - lamazo - Jul-16-2013

And breath..exhale.....Wow,so many emotions stirred in me.Ive read many many stories and none has gripped me like this one.I laughed a lot.I said a few curse words,even teared up.Omega you are truly a gifted writer!!!

The very first time I read this story, I was blown away. This is a story that will have you reading it over and over again. I should know, I read it four times!!! - Anonymous - Oct 2nd, 2002   

um...um..i am absolutely speechless 'cause if i start to talk, i'll just rattle away never to be seen again... that is probably why under TROPICAL STORM fo g's sake there are no comments - just rating, cuz there are really NO COMMENTS - EVERYONE IS SPEECHLESS!!! thank God (or muse) there are sequels, i couldn't let go of these characters. this bard is THE MUSE. THIS is real, so real you cry, laugh, clap, dance. if you are still here, don't listen to my babbling, GO ON!! READ IT!!! NOW!!! (why are there only 6 points rating!!?? the story is sooo far above) - Katrina - Dec 3rd, 2003   

Thank you God, a woman who can write a good plot, brilliant characters, and even has good grammar and punctuation!!I didn't expect to like these stories, but they are very charming, and VERY well written. Thanks Melissa - Trin - Jan 5th, 2004   

Melissa Good is a fine gift to fanfiction. I am so happy that someone of her skill has taken the time to write these brilliant stories. It only shows the love Melissa has for the characters and the world she has created. Dar and Kerry (and every other character)are multifaceted and polychromatic. They are tangible and real, just as their love for one another. They embed themselves into your psyche, it's inevitable! Melissa's descriptions are visually rich and satisfying. The very present erotic moments are handled in a tactful, gentle and "just enough" manner. The dialogues are the best I have ever read. Nothing feels forced. The story flows and the characters flow with it. Everything happens at the right moment. If I could only read one fanfiction author, it would be Melissa Good. I've read them all: Tropical Storm, Hurrican Watch, Eye of the Storm, Tropical High, and I just finished reading Terrors of the High Seas today, after rereading the previous 2 or 3 times.After reading Tropical Storm you will feel the need to glue yourselves to Dar and Kerry for the rest of their lives... But Melissa has written just the right number of sequels. At the end of Terrors of the High Seas, you will feel that need delightfully sedated from knowing that Dar and Kerry have reached closure in the most outstanding aspects of their separate lives. From then on, they will be together forever, and prepared to face the future come what may. - Nightsbane - Feb 12th, 2005   

That was stupid. I can't decide how much Melissa writes. Keep writing, Melissa. I will never get tired of Dar and Kerry. - Nightsbane - Feb 25th, 2005   

Great and wonderful story...to read.. I bought the Book!!! and I never get tired of reading it... - Anonymous - Aug-11-2006

Easy to read and is really refreshing... a beautiful "L" story...that will touch your heart... Right for the beginning till the very end..... - kathyr - Jan-25-2007   

Melissa Good's name should be Melissa Great!!!! She is by far my favorite fan-fic writer and I simply cannot thank her or applaude her enough. I have read and re-read all of her stories too many times to count and Tropical Storm is simply one of her best. I so enjoy following the lives of Dar & Kerry and hope we see more stories about them. I'd also love to see her develop new uber characters that we can fall in love with as well. BRAVA MELISSA...YOU ARE SIMPLY AWESOME!!!! - JC - Jun-24-2007   

Glad to see Tropical Storm recommended again. STILL ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I have read. Dar and Kerry are brillant charactors, and where this story takes place is wonderful,easy to read and fun to read. I bought the book years ago and I have also read and reread this story so many times. Dar and Kerry will touch your heart. I have read all of Melissa Good's stories. I have enjoy them all.. but Tropical Storm is still my favorite. - bobbi - Jun-25-2007

I finally broke down and read it...and loved it! I absolutely adore the characters, but the sex scenes are somewhat lacking. Bit of a let down, but still worth the read! - Anonymous - Oct-26-2009   

This story is worth a read, trust me. However if you don't believe listen to all the troblem I went thought to just read it. First I started off reading the first part, of the story, on this site but I couldn't find second link. So I google it, and found it on another xena site where I got to read full ten character before hiding another brick wall, part 11 didn't work. But I was detemined and found it again on another xena site( This would be a third wed site) and finally I got to finishes the story! Okay people, if is wasn't good do you think I'd go throuht all that troublem... Let me tell you, no! BTW- I love the setting in this story( I'm orginial from florida, but never been to miami) [Editor's Note: Next time, you may wish to check the story entry for additional links to a story. If we know about broken chapter links within a story on another site, we do try to provide addition links to get you through the story without having to Google it. In this instance, we listed Melissas main story page. That page contains chapter links to all her works. 3-5-2010] - Ami - Feb-28-2010   

I keep going back to these series because it's just amazing...YOU MUST READ this!!!!I love Dar and Kerry....I never get tired of them....I want more.... - Lucian - Mar-21-2010   

Melissa Good is an excellent writer - all of her stories are wonderful reads. But the Dar and Kerry series is a total blast, especially if you work in IT for a living. Dar and Kerry are styled after Xena and Gabrielle, but they live in the here and now in Miami. The first one in the series, Tropical Storm, caused me to pull my first all-nighter since college. Great stuff! - xnalivs - Apr-27-2010   

Missy Good's stories should not be missed. Fullstop. I won't go on here telling how great her work is. Because it is. Also, definitely look up her new series called "Partners" (not yet(?) listed here), it is worth a peek and more. - wt-ger - Mar-14-2011

I just read what I hope is MG's continuing series of Dar and Kerry's life's adventures, Southern Stars. Sure enough, I'm in heaven again, this world is so... I'm just glad Melissa Good is in it with me/us!! So I'm starting the series over from the beginning, Tropical Storm. Here's to the noble adventure of Dar and Kerry!! Thank you so very much Mielissa Good!!! It's a corner of happiness I am so grateful to know.

How to I rate Spice? There is a lot of spice in these stories, subtle, sexy, chills and flutter spice; spice you can feel and savor, so I'm putting a 10 for Spice Index. Maybe it can be renamed Real Spice Index... - Teresa - Sep-28-2016

in many ways i like this second story in the series.. i do havea dislike in this story as well.. the order of the rose?? okay, i can deal with that.. but the whole yu pan part rises my hackles.. it goes against everything that was told in the first story.. now, before everyone shoots me down, i said i like this story in many ways.. it was extremely well written, it gave a whole new schwung to a lot things, the characters were excellent (a grown up son with mommy issues), etc.. but the yu pan thing prevented me from completing the series the first time i read it.. i'm determined to finish this time though.. so, i'm off to read the final part of this trilogy.. maybe i will find that the yu pan debacle does make some sense in the end?? - xtra dog - Mar-23-2012

I've read DJWP's other brilliant works but for some reason avoided this one. I didn't like the idea of the plot. I am a FOOL. This story is truly, truly, excellent. If you have't read it yet, do so NOW! X & G are perfectly written, their imporobable love deeply inspiring, and the historic and military elements of the story fascinating and thrilling. It also manages to be dark and funny in turn.

DJWP, you bloody rule! - vee - Mar-19-2006   

OH MY GOD!!!! What a wonderful story!!! I wonder why it is not recommended by many... Things will change though. This story is highly recommended. You guys have to read this!! It will surely make your day complete, if you get what i mean. Anyways, open this and hope you will enjoy just like I did. Chiao!!! - Fan - Feb-27-2008   

DJWP is one of those great X&G authors who writes true to the characters and the series. I just finished reading this wonderful tale and had a fun time reliving some of the scenes and dialogues in XWP in an entirely different setting. Great writing as always from this very talented bard. - Luie - Apr-21-2008   

This is a challenging and original story by easily one of the best authors in the Xenaverse. If you haven't read it, or any of her several other classics, you are in for a true delight. An excellent story by an author whose works will last to be reread again and again for years to ome. - Kamouraskan - May-01-2008   

I can't say enough about this story or the author. I was really put off by the subject matter and quit reading it, but could only leave for a day. It pulled at me so strongly to see was going on and to happen next, I had to finish it. She has a way of discribing everything and making her words flow. Its a pleasure not a chore reading her works. - Diane - Jan-21-2009   

A wonderful X&G story that really shows the love between the two and demonstrates the fact that nothing will stand in it's way. If you're looking for a good story with nice twists, this is the one. It should also be noted that the page number reads as 49, this is a half truth. The first part is 49 pages, and there are 12 parts. So you're looking at 300+ pages of X&G goodness. - Laziel - Apr-03-2011   

two words...eff'ing brilliant! - JettBlack - Apr-21-2011   

I agree with JettBlack and Kamouraskan. And I didn't see that coming. Excellent! - ~M - Jul-12-2011   

DJWP proves she is a truelly talented and remarkable author with this marvelously wonderfully entertaining X & G tale. It could have been an episode from the series with the exception of the subtext being maintext between our two undying heros.A great story that I highly recommend taking the time to read!!! - uber goober - Jun-29-2012   

Billiant - What an imagination!!! Great story - loved it!! First one I've read, looking forward to reading more. - Cathy - Mar-25-2013   

ok, this is not a short story and it certainly consists of a lot more than 49 pages.. so, if you are looking for a quick read, put this story on the shelf until you have the time or inclination to read a longer story..

if you are simply looking for a splendid, engaging and often mind-boggling read: READ THIS STORY NOW!

the author not only served us one book here.. up until a point i felt like i was reading two books.. two very well written books with characters true to form..

yep, this story deserves the high rating it has! - xtra dog - May-21-2013

A great story. Very entertaining. So far this has been an incredibly good series. - Uber Goober - Apr-11-2011   

Very talented author. Absolutely love this story, especially how the author really seems to capture the essence of the characters - Jude - Jun-24-2009   

Great story, well done.mjf - Anonymous - Jul-02-2009   

this story was so incredible and addicting. i love the deep exploration of tara's family history and that while it had its fair share of angst and action, there was still more than enough humor and lightheartedness spread throughout.
its pretty safe to say that this is one of the best stories i have ever had the joy of reading. - ale - Aug-19-2010   

Pure poetry. What a fantastic read! - Anonymous - Jun-29-2008   

I loved this story!!! - BlueButterfly - Aug-14-2009   

Brilliant! Fantastic! Terrific! Engaging! Entertaining! Intriquing! Um I may run out of superlatives, but I would definitely recommend 'running out' to read this story!For starters, it is very well written with grace and style. It is a tale in the true tradition of story telling. Incredibly descriptive (umm, a little hit and miss with ancient geography, but hey.)you really feel drawn in to the world of Har.The characters of X & G are very nicely developed within the tale, while still be familiar from the show. Well done. Off to read the sequal now. - XenaVirgin - Nov 18th, 2005   

This is and the sequel are excellent. Well written, attention to detail, and IMHO well worth the read. I'm sorry this author has given up or lost her muse. - ~M - Jun-29-2011   

Amazing story!! This author is something special. She has a true gift and we are lucky enough to get to reap the benefits. Don't miss this one. It is a rare treat. - Believer - Apr-07-2015
