This is one of the best conqueror novels i've ever had the pleasure of reading. Keeps you on the edge of your seats to the very end. MUST READ THIS STORY!!!! great diversity of characters... gabrielle was simply brilliant.is there any possibility for a sequal? if not then keep em coming! this author has to continue writing... - Snuff - Oct 25th, 2003   

I know I'm not suppose to comment on myself , but I couldn't think of another way to reach you, Snuff, and let you know that: yes, there is gonna be a sequel :). Part 1 is already finished and I'm gonna send that to the Atheneum soon, but since I've tossed 50 html files at the creators of this wonderful site last time, I figured I'd be nice and lay low for a little while ;). If you're impatient and you wanna read it now, just send me an email and I'll point you in the right direction, kay? Ow, and thank you for the nice feedback :). Edge is my personal favorite (don't tell the others, they'll get jealous ;)) so it's really nice to know other people are enjoying it as well :). - Annemaart (aka the author ;)) - Oct 28th, 2003   

Very nice take on the conqueror genre, I like the ideal of a strong Gabrielle rather than a broken slave as so many do.One thing that annoyed me was you need to check it for improper word use. (piece instead of peace, rain instead of reign) - Alara - Oct 30th, 2003   

If you don't normally read Conqueror stories think about changing your habits with this wonderful piece of fiction. Gabrielle is a strong and very capable resistance fighter, but her will and her heart are tested by the very charming Xena The Conqueror. Xena's not perfect by any stretch, but she sure is likeable here. I've read this a number of times now and I still love it. Anne is currently writing a sequel (Path Of Thorns) which is turning out just as good. - Sai - Sep-11-2006   

love the story! glad to hear a sequel is in the works. i will be waiting and watching. - kjviking - Sep-28-2006   

This is a most excellent take on the Conqueror genre. I've just read it for the second time, and I think it gets better with each re-read. - Anonymous - Dec-15-2006   

My highest praise goes out to this author!! I've read this story several times (and the sequels)and each time I get the same great big thrill I did the first time I sat down and read it. I BEG Annemaart to continue writing...you are a bright shining star in the Xenaverse!!! - JC - Oct-22-2007   

this is one of the best conqueror stories i have ever read. What makes this different from the rest,is that gabrielle is not a slave and xena shows a wonderful sense of humor inspite of her being the conqueror. I luv it..Its a must read! - leia - Oct-28-2007   

One of my fav conqueror series, definitely a "thumps up"! - OmisLiebling - Dec-11-2007   

One of the best conqueror stories ever. Especially for Gabfans. - Anonymous - Mar-23-2008   

One of the best Xena Conqueror / Gabrielle stories ever written - Kthac - Apr-09-2008   

I read this story twice now & decided I should let you know I've been enjoying it. For anyone wondering, its well worth the read! Thanks and keep those stories coming. There's new Xena/Gabrielle fans out there all the time discovering these great fanfic stories just like me. And, I can't get enough! - Diane - Jan-21-2009   

All I can say is - thanks for this great story. - Manoli - Jun-02-2009   


This bard is a heck of a smart one! Very well done. This fanfics is a geme! Go ahead and read it! - yuka - Oct-09-2009   

I was very impressed and entertained by this story.I found that while reading this story( just like with all really good ones) I didn't want it to end. Which is also good because I can look forward to reading the sequel. - Uber Goober - Jun-05-2010   

Excellent, Gabrielle didn't fall down and cry every other paragraph. An incredibly strong character in this story. I like it. - Anonymous - Jul-26-2010   

By the time I reached part 4, I was completely hooked. Did NOT want it to end. This is one of the best Xena & Gab stories out there. It builds like all get-out! - Whitney D. - Jul-28-2010   

This was a great story. Very refreshing and beautifully developed. Took its time with the buildup and was worth the blurry eye site it caused me. (from long hours of reading in front of the computer)
And even though the stories are completely different it reminded me a little of Spyrel's Pretium Silenti. Perhaps because Gabrielle's character is portrayed as a stong fighter in both. Either way, this should be taken as a compliment cause i absolutely loved Pretium Silenti. If you liked that, you'll probably like this too.
Definitely recommended... - Bella Taggart - Aug-03-2010   

So thankful that I found this author - great story Annemart! This is a gem of a story and I plan to jump right on the sequel - yeah! to see how it continues. What an enjoyable read. Twists and turns, surprises, suspense, romance... oh-my. The buildup was fantastic. - x/g fanfic fanatic - Aug-14-2010   

I really liked this story. A great job - sassy123 - Aug-25-2010

What a pleasure to read a Conqueror story where Gabrielle is a hardened warror capable of kicking even Xena's ass.All the supporting charecters are well written. - Anonymous - Nov-12-2010   

In rereading this excellant novel for the 3rd time, realized I'd never commented on it. Excellant job by Annemart. I enjoy the change in Gabrielle's persona. I've never liked stories that portray her as subserviant to Xena. Here she's not only equal to her but fully able to kick her ass. - Anonymous - Nov-22-2010   

gabby kicks ass in this story.. litterally.. really loved this story.. i read it in one go.. yup, no sleep for me last night.. be warned 'cause this story is highly addictive.. it's also very intriguing, original and playful.. keep 'em coming, anne maart.. - xtra dog - Nov-05-2011

Just have to say this was a GREAT story. Really enjoyed it. Wonderful read with fun characters, bad guys and a remembrance of the wild, wild west. Highly recommended. This is a wonderful author. - Anonymous - Sep-24-2010   

A beautiful story of friendship between a bunch of women in a new town of the wild wild west. Adventure, suspense and events are strong and fast-paced, while characters, relationships and interactions are subtly drawn. Whether you like WWW or not, you will read a great writer. - M.D. Gibraltar - Dec-10-2010   

Very good set into history and alive! Amazing story. - Anne - Dec-04-2011   

i agree with all the previous comments.. the most endearing part of this story is the friendship between the characters.. - xtra dog - Feb-03-2012   

If you like a good story where the relationship is second to plot/friendship, this is the story for you. The characters are engaging and very likeable. Unlike a lot of stories where you're left wanting a sequel, the author finishes this one up nicely. A great way to spend a lazy afternoon. - Stacia - Feb-25-2013

Perfect for anyone looking for a story with lots of romance and HUMOR. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more of your work :D - Sally - Jan-24-2009   

SO GUT BUSTING!! I made the mistake of drinking coffee while reading this. Raven and Randsom had me in sticthes. Oh and of course the sex!! Whew!! - Anonymous - May-19-2010   

The second part was even funnier the the first,maybe Larisa will be kind and write a third part, we all want to know how Critter is doing. - mutt - Dec-17-2011   

this was not a bad story, the humor was there, it was fast paced, all in all a good read, liked the main charactres. - magurk - Apr-27-2012   

The second part of Cougar's Ransom was great , even better than the first part, it had great laughs, and it was fast paced with action, well worth reading - magurk - Apr-27-2012   

Laughing to my stomach hurts is the best and worst but I'm glad I read this story and all of the other stories by Larisa. Awesome author!!! - Statics - May-27-2012   

I think this is a very realistic story, about the problems of coming out in your workplace and the unknown results it can have. Also, it's a good lesson of courage and unselfishness - Rouge - Nov-24-2010   

A great story in the series. I like the relationship between Louise and Marty, but issue of gay teachers in schools and some of the prejudice they can face was powerfully written and very well done. Excellent. - Lyn B - May-06-2011

I liked the reflective nature of this story. It's bittersweet, but has a happy ending. I'd liked to have seen more of what happened to them, but as it stands, it's well worth reading.

WoW! Beautiful story, so unique. feels like something's fluttering inside; it's the wonder and reverence i always feel when reading Devize's work :) it has me hooked. i've never read anything like it and that's saying something. also it's reassuring that it's just a beginning for this story (right?)thank you Devize for another Gem! - Katrina - May 10th, 2005   

At the beginning of this story are words "There are nights that change your life......" Well, there are writers who enter your mind and heart, and Devize is one who infiltrates both of mine. The mini stories within the main have a common theme or thread that both consume your interest and reach inside of you.To say "Word Wizard" or "Mistress of Deception and Deliciously chosen descriptions of body, soul and settings" wouldn't be complimentary enough to this writer. Having read her full length novel, MISPLACED PEOPLE, the short story,THE OTHER SIDE, and now this shorter yet,STILL LIFE, I am taken in and taken to places & meeting characters that linger in one's mind. The versatility of her mind that spills over into her stories, characters & places is wonderfully fulfilling as you read fitting dialogue with bits of humor even in the middle of devastation at times. This is one author whose stories I read and then read again. STILL LIFE is anything you may think it is before you read it. But after reading it, you will realize the cleverness of the title and the mind that wrote it. It is a beautiful story! - O Ger - May 21st, 2005   

Just... just go and read it! It's worth it. I hope the autor would grace us with more of her wonderful works. - Melusina - Dec-12-2006

Another great story just love Danny and nikki wish there was more Thanks Shea k for this brilliant story xxx - SD - Jul-22-2015   

Since Larisa hasn't written in a while, she has definately came out with something worth the wait. A DAMNED good story if I say so myself. One that I actually have read twice. The characters are so funny and every bit as perverted as the ones in her other stories. Good reading and recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh. Good job Larisa and keep up the good work!! ^_^ - Anonymous - Dec 4th, 2002   

One word...Sprout!!! This newest offering from Larisa had my partner rolling on the floor and the dog questioning our sanity we laughed so much. ;-) To the author: Fangs for the memories! (you may gag at that or write another story whichever you choose.) - Kay - Dec 5th, 2002   

I've come to the conclusion that Larisa should be certified as a nut case. She has the strangest characters in her stories and IT WORKS! I love the little ones Sprout and Lia! She may have been MIA for a while but she came back with a WINNER! I laughed until I couldn't breathe, keep up the great work. - Dancer - Dec 10th, 2002   

Good God, i havent laughed so hard (or needed a bucket of ice soo badly) in a LONG time! This is a great story! both for the plot and the nutso characters! - Wind - Dec 10th, 2002   

Are you afraid of vampires?...well don't be with Fang and friends around. Another HIT from Larisa. I'm still laughing and very warm with this latest installment. Read it and you'll see why. Loved it! - NLW - Dec 12th, 2002   

I stayed up reeeeal late one night reading this, and it was sooo worth it! This is a fabulous story! I don't know which I found more enchanting... Sprout or Mama. Larisa has outdone herself with this one. I loved it! Thanks for the laughs. - Taleweaver - Dec 16th, 2002   

I absolutely do not read Vampire stories. This story though is so wonderful that I loved every word. The charachters are sweet and funny and I loved every moment of it. I almost forgot that I was reading a vampire story I was having so much fun. Great Job Kiddo!!!!! - Ri - Dec 18th, 2002   

I loved this story!!!!! Larisa is one of the best uber writers out there in my opinion. I can't wait for more about Luka and Memphis(and Sprout too!) Please give us more Day Walker! - Jbamazon - Dec 18th, 2002   

MY GOD!.... this has to be the funniest, most riveting uber story I've read in a while! Luka and Memphis were superbly fleshed out, and Sprout... oh my.... I am just not gonna comment! AMAZING!!!!!! - Katelin B - Mar 2nd, 2003   

You call this Drama??? I almost killed my computer cause I was drinking Coke while reading ... DON'T DO THAT!!! KEEP LIQUID AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER WHILE READING DAY WALKER!! ... just some advise ;) This one is just too damn funny ... I love it!! Keep it up Larisa, you're the best!!!!!!!!! - Bacchus - Jul 19th, 2003   

KILLER STORY REALLY. I JUST ABOUT BUST A GUT DO I HEAR A PART TWO? - TMc - Aug 3rd, 2003   

Kudos to Larisa!!!! I can't wait for Larisa's next story. It seems like it has been weeks since this author has posted any new stories. I feel the main component of her stories is her ability to make the characters three-dimensional. I also appreciate that the dialogue in her stories flow giving depth to the characters, even the bizarre characters that she utilizes for comedy relief. A story that really captured my interest was "Day Walker". I'd like to know if Larisa plans to write a sequel to "Day Walker"? Maybe the new antithesis can be demons or Lupines. Thanks Larisa!MDeBeers - MDeBeers - Oct 5th, 2003   

I am not a person that likes vanpier storys or the likes of them but this one rely made me se the light.It has clas and stile and I say Larisa sure is better then Ann Rise...Well I faver Larisas storys anyway.Thumbs up.. fangs down. - SammyLee - Jan 4th, 2004

I like this story , it was somewhat different than what Larisa usualy writes , the humor is there, however there is just something diferent too, the sidekick are great , the tiny terrors help make the story, well worth reading. - mutt - Dec-18-2011   

Sprout is my new favorite character, but all the characters are great together. They're just an awesome dysfunctional family that happens to have a few members that drink blood, but we all have our quirks! - Journey04 - Mar-02-2012

After reading this hot gripping story, I went and bought all her ebooks via Bella Books. Ms Black writing is unique to me as she has managed to differentiate not just her story lines, the characters, but also avoided the similarity of sex scenes, dialoques in her multiple stories. - sue4rab - Aug-20-2008

Nice story which I enjoyed immensely. It's one that I couldn't stop reading util I got to the end. Thanks so much Jae. - Sarah - Apr-02-2008   

I certainly think that this is a briliant continuation of Conflict of Interest. I thoroughly enjoyed that, and this was just as good, if not better. I would have to say ... are we going to be hearing more about Cade and Laurie as well as Alex and Del? Thanks for a wonderful story! - Gwen - Apr-04-2008   

Very good sequel to Conflict of Interest. On one hand I could not stop reading it fast enough and on the other I wanted it never to end. So I'm also wondering if their will be a sequel to the sequel.

Danke, Dale. - Dale - Apr-05-2008   

Jae you are a wonderful story teller. Do not miss this, it is the read of the year. - lizzielee - Apr-05-2008   

This was one of the best sequels written. - purplehawke - Apr-08-2008   

Hi Jae,
I loved this story.
Cade was a wonderful addition.Her insecurities explained so much about Olivia's.
I've never read another SVU story that partnered Oliva and Alex with different people.Del seemed like a perfect match to Alex's personality.
My only problem with Del was not being able to get a mental picture of her.I kept trying to think of an actress that I could compare her to.
The conversations between the characters and the insights into their thinking process made them really come alive,at least for me.
You've got the gift.
Thanks again,Pat - Patricia iserman - Apr-09-2008   

I love this story!! It is as good as if not better than Conflict of Interest. I couldn't stop reading till I reached the end and then I wanted more. I'm hoping this isn't the last that we've heard of these characters. If you haven't read it yet, do yourself a favor and do so as soon as possible. - Candice - Apr-10-2008

Another gripping, romantic story by Jae. What a talented author! I'm always overjoyed when I see Jae's name on a new work. - VS Tellefson - Apr-30-2008   

Well, I read this in one day just like CONFLICT OF INTEREST. I was so, so pleasantly surprised to come across this sequel. I was hoping & wishing there would be a sequel. The new characters are fantastic. I hope you seriously consider continuing, it's to good to end. I am a die hard xena fan, but Conflict of interest has been one of the few stories i've read over 3x. I know have this new one to read over again. lol. Thank u for gifting us with your talent. I so love Liv & Dawn. - Brighteyez - Jun-01-2008   

Brilliant! Just ... brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed Conflict of Interest and this is as good as, if not better, than that. Any chance of a sequel? - Gwen - Jun-05-2008   

found this story on the link, purchased it and it was ok, however I would have loved to read it when it was an Olivia/Alex/SVU story. Maybe next time. - Angelicrainbw - May-31-2009   

First you have to buy Conflict of Interest and read it. Then you need to buy Next of Kin. You will not be dissapointed. Now we just need another one. - cpo - Nov-03-2010

Actually The Enchantment is the prequel to Enchanted Again. Not the other way around. Friction is a great writer - I love her work. My favorite, so far, as I haven't read all of her stuff is The Awakening. Incredible story. - Karon Reiter - Jan 14th, 2005   


Very good. At first sight, this story seems quite similar to any other PWP erotic type fiction. Not that I'm despicing anything, or any bard... OK? Just wanna say that, THIS EROTIC tale, DO HAVE a plot, an intrigue that gradually makes the chemistry between the characters even HOTTER! It deals with the primal aspect of sex, but with the primal aspect of LOVE too. Friction intertwined the two of them so closely they simply melt in each other. The result is powerfull, intense and definitely deserves to be pointed out!
Sorry for keeping you reading this while Friction's masterpieces are waiting up for you! HURRY and read them! - yuka - Oct-22-2009

I read this story about a year ago and I loved it. Not only was it original and well written it is passionate and describes this future world in intimate detail. I just checked to see if there is a sequel but none showed up. I hope there will be one. - Jenn - Jan 1st, 2003   

I just found the story and it is great. It stops after chapter 6, and said it would continue in chapter 7. Is there a chapter 7 and a completion of the story? I hope so.
It would be great to see how it all turns out with the characters and the war that is going to take place. With Bree being half human this might also lead to maybe some kind of peace between wolfs and human. Especially with Z leading both Blacks and Reds. [Editor's Note: The story is complete.

ok...read this story on a whim. I have to say that I generally don't gravitate towards this type of story besides zee s "chance" which I thought was good. This on the other hand; left me confused and its basically just a rounchy story with a few interesting parts once you get over your confusion. The writing in my opinion was poor but held good imagination. If your the author keep trying. - katie of ohio - May-03-2014   

A female wolf who possesses a male anatomy and is gifted by the gods to also bare offspring. Hm. I think this is the perfect story that exemplifies the saying "a wolf in sheep's clothing". If it walks like a man, acts like a man, talks like a man, has male genitalia... It MUST be a man. No gentle harmony loving softness. A wolf in sheeps clothing (Reminds me of Alex Tryst). - Samantha - Mar-03-2015   

This was an absolutely beautiful and moving story. Congratulations Bardzlife on a beautifully written story that made me cry and laugh in all the right places. Definitely a great little read I look forward to reading more of your work and suggest anyone looking for a well written and emotion laden story should take a look at this one!! - lissa - Jan 3rd, 2006

Somthing More Than This is extremely well written with rich flavor, a growing plot, carismatic characters who reach out and make you wish you were there to share the emotions the passion and the excitement of thier world. I loved the smaller secondary bard tales, little stories, mixed in with the main plot. I loved the fact that the emotions careened out of control, running the gammit from joyous to fear then anguish and sorrow and stoicism, showing a truely gifted ability this writer has with words. I do not usually seek out the XWP work but I'm so happy I didnt pass on this one. Read it and enjoy. If you are a writer or someone that is learning to write...this piece of work shows a huge talent and skill that some stories posted on the net will never have. - JLNickymaster - Jan 11th, 2006   

Bardzlife, I bow down in awe at the power of your prose. It is a magnificent tale. You rock. Sit yourselves down, audience, and read it - you'll be glad you did! - Pysta - Jan-25-2007   

If you want to remember how you felt having to continue on without the Bard and her Warrior after the TV series was over, read this. Bardzlife has created the wonderful character, Taren, who says it best for most of us, it was hard not to fall in love with each of them just a little. - 3creeks - Sep-07-2007

May I join the choir and sing my prayers for a sequel? This is without a doubt one of the better vampire stories out there and the ending is strangely fulfilling as it leaves you wanting more. So much more! Please consider revisiting these characters, Zee. - d.bootes - Nov-13-2008   

I'm a big fan of vampire fiction in all its different forms, and I really enjoyed this story. I did run across an unfinished sequel to 'TDGT' but for the life of me I can't remember were. Anybody else know if its still a work in progress or has Zee dropped it? - Dark Muse - Nov-25-2008   

Loved it! Action, drama, and vampires! Corrin and Harley, I would love to see their story continue. Hopefully a sequel sometime in the future?....please :D If you are looking for a wonderfully written vampire story look no further. It'll keep you enthralled, as I read it I imagined it as a Hollywood blockbuster! - Chess - Jul-31-2009   

This story is sooo good, and way too short. I would love like everyone else to see a sequel. It just seems like theres more to tell. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-16-2009   

A great vampire story with ab fab characters. Excellent. - Karen - Aug-07-2010   

I don't usually read vampire stories, but I like Zee's writing, so I gave it a go. As always, her stories are very well written. This one is packed full of action and drama. I liked it and every character is vivid and memorable. Recommended. - Lyn B - Apr-06-2011   

I enjoyed this one a great deal, and wish the sequel was complete. I found the first two chapters of the sequel here: http://web.archive.org/web/20040305043349/http://www.geocities.com/at3sparky/BHaH1.html
The author indicates that the muse has quieted, but we can always hope she's able to finish it. Truly a good read...thank you, Zee. - Souzan - Oct-15-2011   

despite the subject i was enthralled by the story.. i just wanted to know what would happen next.. - xtra dog - Jun-14-2013

this feels less like a pwp.. don't get me wrong: it is still hot.. but the story is fleshening out more.. well written.. - xtra dog - May-22-2013   

Another great romantic tale from Ali Vali. I liked this story so much more than the somewhat similar plot in the movie starring Robert Redford, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. Read and enjoy! - Cam - Dec 3rd, 2005   

A wonderful love story. - Calliopenjo - Jan-27-2008   

Once again Ali Vali delivers a good romantic story that's worth taken the time to read. - Uber Goober - Sep-29-2009

This is a very good Valentine's story. Ali is a favourite author of mine, so it's always good to read her stories. I liked how this story was developed and not rushed like some short stories can feel. It leaves you feeling happy at the end. Good read. - Lyn B - Mar-18-2011   

Great story. It's one of the one's I'll read again and again! - lyneX - Aug-03-2011   

i remember reading this a couple of months ago.. unless my memory fails me, it was a slow paced story.. and i don't mean that in a bad way at all.. if everything happens really fast in a story, i have difficulties believing it.. - xtra dog - Dec-08-2011   

Loved the story, wonderfully well written and simple use of language.
If you like a love story this is for you.

The story of Kori Eaton and Skylar Whitney. An unusual meeting turns into an unforgettable night. A recently singled Kori, has been "living" at the Shopaholics Department store when one night, she finds out she is not alone in the store. A soon to be unhappily married Skylar, loses track of time (in the ladies room) to discover she was locked in the building with this stranger till morning. The events of the night would change both women forever. This tale was fun-loving and creative in nature, but most of all it had loads of that romantic stuff I crave. I would happily recommend this story. - Di Bauden - May 6th, 2003   

Liked this story, its a must read if you are a fan. - LuvTigger71 - Jun 2nd, 2004   

I loved this story. I really dont usually read uber but I am glad I read this. Thanks to Ambrosia for writing this. - Anonymous - Mar 28th, 2005   

Ambrosia has one the most vivid imaginations I've ever "seen". The bard's descriptive abilities are so clear, I can SEE Kori and Skylar driving the length of aisle 3,it still cracks me up just thinking about it! - dez - Oct 27th, 2005   

Ambrosia has a way with putting quirky characters together. I was laughing through the funny parts, sighing at the romantic parts and grining at the good parts. It's a great story to read when you need an "Ambrosia Fix." Go on and read it. It's guaranteed to make you smile. - Mary - Jan 7th, 2006   

One word, SPEECHLESS!!!! From what I can tell, one of the BEST all around, funny, captivating, compeling, etc... story I've ever read!!! If you are browsing and wondering on story to read next, this is not a proposal but a command, READ THIS!!!!! - Kuu - Jun-06-2007

A taste of Old Egypt plus Kipling-esc reminiscences plus romantic love make this tale an exiting read, done by a talented author. Not a new story, but one of my alltime favourite ones, that I love to reread once in a while. Don't miss it! - Lesley - Jul 11th, 2003   

I spend a lot of my spare time reading so there are stories that I cannot even remember the names of. This is not one of them. Daughter of Egypt is an engaging read that you are sure to enjoy. I did. - Hunter Daniels - Jul 19th, 2003   

Fantastic story. I enjoyed every bit of it. Great job. - Bug - Nov 9th, 2003

I totally agree with Krysta. I vote for a sequel, too! Thanks for the wonderful story. - Terri - Oct 9th, 2005   

I love this story! However, it just begs for a sequel... or is that me? Anyhow, someone is begging Shadowriter! - Royuki - Nov-16-2006   

This romantic love story was lovely. I could touch the sand, smell the incense and feel the love. A beautiful imaginative tale. - Kali - Nov-21-2006   

ABSOLUTELY A BREATHTAKING STORY. I would say this tale should be categorized as literature. It is larger than life, has characters that draw from and illustrate humanity's features, and finds the place where heart and soul meet. This story added another star in the sky. In my heart I will feel that Shayt and Daryl lived together forever, and it makes me happy to imagine the eternity they spend loving each other. Yes, I would rather Shadowriter write her imagination in a sequel, but time always pulls us to different necessities. THANK YOU, Shadowriter! - Azadi - Aug-05-2008   

Very good read I really hope there is more of this story I would really like to see what would come next. - Jennifer Lee - Aug-16-2008   

I was browsing around, and saw this story. I was in the mood to read something different, and boy did this fit the bill. The characterizations and interactions ring true as if this was a chronicle of the relationship of real people. The dimensions of the characters was excellent, and worked very well with the pacing of the story. I also like the fact that it diverged from commonly used mythology, and it did it really well. I look forward to reading more work by Shadowriter. - Kara - Aug-20-2008   

WOW,This is an awesome story and adventure.It keeps you wandering on what's is going to happens next. The romance and feelings expressed in the story are presented with a lot of TLC.
Highly reccomended - xenamary - Aug-22-2008

could use a sequle? - Anonymous - Aug-26-2008   

I love stories involving immortals and Egypt so this one was right up my alley. I had a different ending in mind, but actually preferred the the writers version.

I read this story for the first time in Dec of 2001. I've since read it twice and I will probably read it again. It is simply that good.

This was an excellent story that kept me thoroughly entertained throughout each section. The flow of the story was phenomenal and not seen very often in fiction. This isn't just a fiction, this is a novel. This is a story that should have a sequel of discovery for both characters. It's been a few years. I feel you should write one by now! :) - B. Jackson - May-05-2015   

Brilliant as usual! Gardner's stories captivate you from the get go! I only have one thing to say..finish finish..finish..!The conclusion of "An Affair of Love" would be nice to have also. Author..Author!! - Califa - Mar 5th, 2004   

Any updates for 'Breath Of Scandal'? I love this author's stories...they are thick and richly insane in psyche, and spellbinding. I'd like a new one for each week of the year. So selfish a reader am I, when I know darn well that such writing is a craft that is honed over and over... - Anonymous - Feb 2nd, 2005   

Thank you, author, for the next 6 pages. This author is excellent at 'rifts.' The emotional distance S. Anne Gardner creates between the two main characters starts your heart pounding with a tension of wants, wants and more wants. (like a good serial that keeps you coming back) She also throws you head first into each of her stories, as an excellent writer will do..you are off and running within her text. I devoured the pages before breakfast! - Anonymous - Mar 8th, 2005   

God this story is amazing!! i have to stop reading them before they are finished though, now i have to go to class with it in my head unfinished!! TORTURE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE SOON!! do u have an emailing list or something for post of new chapters perhaps? l - Blueyez - Mar 9th, 2005   

As always S. Anne Gardner writes a comment upon the meaning and tragedy of life as it is lived in any age in any quarter of the globe. a must read. - Monticristo - Mar 14th, 2005   

I never read unfinished work, no patience. So why am I doing it with SAG's work? I love what falls out of this author's head and onto the page. Can we get her characters on The LWord?:) I still have Gardner's "Seduction of Laura" running through my mind. What a read! Greedy me, I think a sequel could happen...I'm still standing there with Laura, wondering. Very profound work. - Anonymous - Mar 29th, 2005

What a fabulous story, SEQUEL please do not leave it unfinished - Anonymous - Sep-03-2009   

Breath of Scandal is the first story I've read by Ms. Gardner, and let me say that I have found a unique jewel. This story is so different from other stories I read on this website. It is an intense love story, full of pain, which has left me at various times without noticing a lump in my throat. To make matters worse, the story leaves us waiting for a conclusion. I try not to choose any story to read that is not yet complete, because if the story turns out to be good, anxiety is difficult to handle. But this seems to be the case. The story does not have an end but you need one desperately. However, this fact should not prevent anyone enjoy reading this painful love. My advice: read and share a double agony, the distress suffered by these characters and the tribulations that you will suffer as readers by not having an ending. Then, join the rest of readers, and demand an end! Finally, Mrs. Gardner, what talent!not to be missed!!! - Lucian - May-31-2010   

A great writer!!! You feel the pain and suffering of the characters. Please finish the story Ms. Gardner so we can have closure.. Please please please!!!!! - raspberry berret - Oct-12-2010

I have read this story at least once every year since it was posted.
And it remains one of the very best... but it is unfinished.
How anti-climatic. - Terre - Sep-22-2012   

disappointing. everyone here seems to love this story but honestly, I found it tedious; the same heartbreak anguish and unhappiness page after page after page. If it were a finished story, maybe I would feel differently, but alas, it appears we'll never know since this hasn't been updated in a decade.

save yourself the time and go find another story. - Anonymous - Aug-24-2013

This is a wonderful story, well thought-out, without trying to impress with big sci-fi/fantasy ideas and still managing to be unique and thought-provoking. I read it in one sitting and recommend for others to check it out.

I'm only sorry that I didn't manage to read all the stories from the first Athenaeum Challenge in the one month time, and so I didn't vote. If I had, So Be It would have been among my top three favourites. - M. - Mar-26-2010   

One of my top three choices - would have liked to know more and have the story continued. - bookgeek - Mar-29-2010

I have never let the need to rate or review any of the amazing stories I have read on this site before this.... But I just have to say that this story was more than amazing. It took a crazy scifi plot, a gruff, no nonsense, yet scared main character that was determined to be anything but a heroine, and made an entrancing story exploring what it means to be human. So be it..... Indeed. - Jade - Jan-22-2013   

I keep coming back and reading this and I can never get enough. Truly a superb story. So different and yet comes together really amazingly. One of my favorite stories ever. - Niyah - May-31-2013   

A must read!! Really well written and completely engaging. - Anonymous - Aug-18-2017   

Thanks so much for the laugh! - Anonymous - Aug-27-2010   

Another great light-hearted tale from a great storyteller. A lot of fun. - anneb - Aug-29-2010   

Absolutely hilarious story! This author has a way of making her characters so comfortable around each other that you feel involved in the scenes. It's very clever and entertaining. - jacki - Aug-30-2010   

I LOVE THIS STORY!!!!! - cassie - Sep-01-2010   

The Amazon spirit never dies even when she is born in the 21st century. A delightful read though too brief~! - Teresa - Sep-08-2010   

Aurelia always has a way of making me smile, if not downright laugh out loud. Thank you again for a clever tale. - melanieG - Sep-13-2010   

As always, you are a true delight. - Anonymous - Sep-13-2010   

That was certainly a strange yet amusing X&G tale.Not Aurelia's usual fare but entertaining none the less. - uber goober - Sep-22-2010   

Another interesting twist on the characters in Xena. These quirky characters seem perfectly at home in their environment and yet they are still carry the spirit of the characters we all love. If you are looking for something a little different, and a chuckle, I recommend this one. - Anonymous - Jan-30-2011   

a very funny uber story.. it had me smiling constantly.. - xtra dog - Dec-29-2012   

a very funny uber story.. it had me smiling constantly.. - xtra dog - Dec-29-2012   

Funny story! Seems like something from a very small, midwest or southern town. Worth a read and a laugh or two. - Stacia - Dec-29-2012   

This author has written a really fine story here. The central characters will capture your heart. Read and enjoy...I did. - LW - Oct 6th, 2002   

This talented writer has delighted us with a great story. The characters will show you how pain can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. I loved reading it and I hope you will as well. - Heidi - Jan 22nd, 2003   

I read this all in one sitting because I couldn't wait to see each stage in the characters' growth. The protagonists start out (as antagonists!) about as far apart as they could be, and yet their movements toward each other are completely natural every step of the way. Very deftly done. - Babs - Dec 5th, 2003   

I read this one often. A really good curl up rainy day romance to get lost in. - msprism - May-06-2007   

great story well worth the read. hope this bard writes more. - vampireslayer2 - May-26-2007   

I've enjoyed this story immensely, what a great storytelling. Please read everyone as I'm sure you'll enjoy this as much as I did. Thank you Regina! :) - Luie - Jun-30-2008   

**Spoiler alert** Wow what an interesting idea to have uber G be a homophobe at the start. Really enjoyed the character growth and development in the story and the inevitable romance was sweet. Definitely a cute one to read with some exciting parts as well! - Melikins - Nov-15-2008   

Wonderful story! I loved the character development, Randi and Megan are wonderfully complex, lovely characters. I truly enjoyed how their relationship evolved from one of misunderstanding and animosity to something...more. You won't be disappointed to read, it has drama, mystery, and love! - Anonymous - Jun-22-2009   

good read. I am not much of a dog person but loved the dogs. - rleef - Jun-26-2009   

This is a wonderful story. It's to bad that she has passed away. She will be missed along with other's though the years. - Char - Jul-06-2009   

I loved it! I was sucked right in from the beginning. It was kind of like Misery, but minus the ankle breaking. Great story! - Xenasgrrl - Aug-22-2009   

great story ! I am grateful I found it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Wonderful twist for uber Gabrielle. You should publish this !! - x/g fanfic fanatic - Dec-27-2009   

I really loved this story. Well worth staying up all night to read. I hope you will write many more, Even more togo with this one?? thankyou very much for the wonderful story. - damere - Dec-30-2009

Brilliant. A solid story that shows a relationship unfurling at a natural pace against the odds. Loved it. - Silver - Apr-19-2010   

Just really great story; one of my favorites. High recommendation! - pegi - Aug-28-2010   

This story was one I've only just read, and I can honestly say it's ranking up in my top ten .. Most certainly one that will be re-read .... ****SPOILER ALERT**** .... I loved the dogs, very original addition to the story line ....


Well worth the read ... - Dracotoni - Sep-12-2010   

Loved this story. Great job. - sassy123 - Nov-30-2010   

Really loved this story. Great take on X/G relationship.

- Bolly - Dec-15-2010   

Wonderful. I have read this story time and time again. Thank you so much Queenfor4. Rest in peace! - pegi - Sep-03-2011   

Wonderful roller coaster ride. - Wheezie - Apr-06-2013   

I keep coming back to this story because it is so good. Well writen, wonderful care developing the characters and building the story up to a satisfying conclusion. If you haven't read this one, you are missing out. - colorado fan - Apr-11-2013   

GREAD STORY VERY NICE - réveuse - Mar-27-2015   

une des belles histoire due j'ai lu
la psychologie de uber gabrielle est très interréssant - Anonymous - Aug-24-2015   

Wouldn't this be an Uber not a Xena? - ? - Aug-19-2016

Definitely want to read more! I don't normally read short stories but since I loved your other works so much I gave this one a shot...REALLY hoping to read more about these girls in the near future! - Anonymous - Oct-28-2009   

Very good writing; good story line. . . but not a short story. Wrapped up too quickly. . . needs to continue. This just had to be a lead in. - nagol - Oct-29-2009   

Please let there be a sequel!! Faith and Amy belong together. - Anonymous - Oct-31-2009   

C. Burke's stories are completely addicting and I extremely encourage the author to continue this story. I don't think their journey is quite over yet. - Hoqoq - Nov-03-2009

Truly gifted author. Hope for more soon. - Anonymous - Nov-18-2009   

This can't be all. This is a perfect begining but these characters have potential for a true saga like we saw in American Sweethearts and With All My Heart. - Anonymous - Nov-29-2009   

It is a good story, but sad enough if it is not continued... - easteden - Dec-22-2009

Great story. Well done. - sassy123 - Dec-02-2010   

okay, i've read this one a long while ago.. and there is one thing that's just never sat right with me..

***SPOILER ALERT***
x told eph she didn't want g to have to go through the ordeal of testifying at the trial.. so she claims to be guilty.. why didn't eph tell x that g would still have to be put on the stand when determining the proper sentence? doesn't she owe that much (honesty) to x? and to g? why would she put both of her friends through that? - xtra dog - Mar-07-2014   

wow, i can't believe i'm the first to leave a recommendation for this amazing story and series! Nene Adams is my favorite author, i've read all her works and bought her fantastic books, she never ceases to touch the soul with her writing, her fascinating insight into culture, history, multiple expressions of romance (and yeah horror too!). a mastermind i tell ya :) thanks Nene for your wonderful gifts, may the muse be with ya (and Corrie, i love her art!) you guys rock :D - Koosh - Mar-31-2007   

Wonderful story set in Victorian era. - Anonymous - Jun-25-2008   

The first in this series. It's entertaining and well written. I like the parallel between Evangeline and Holmes and their interactions are fun. Good fun - Lyn B - Apr-09-2011
