Hot, Hot, Hot.... loved these sexy short stories. Terri and Charlie are the balm ! - Anonymous - Oct-12-2010   

I really enjoyed this series I'd like to see it continued. Good job of pwp story telling DS Bauden. - uber goober - Jan-04-2012   

i've really enjoyed this series.. terri and charlie make a very cute couple.. i hope there will be more stories featuring these characters.. - xtra dog - May-23-2013   

I loved this story. Very short, but a good one. This story show me that we all have to realized that true love might be under our nose. It's a very touching story of Xena and Gabrielle - Bay - Dec 29th, 2003   

It was a very sweet and loving story! - Starry - Jul-06-2010   

That's probably the way it was written to be but just got censored out by tptb, anyway I much perfer this version of events. - uber goober - Jan-04-2012   

i don't know about the part that this was how the story was originally written.. i think it was too early in the series for that.. for the writers anyway.. but we all know that it is exactly what the characters would have preferred.. :) - xtra dog - Jan-18-2013   

nice read..

****SPOILER ALERT**** the fight scene reminds me a bit of the '1 against an army'-episode.. except for gabrielle's vital role in it and xena's capture.. - xtra dog - Jan-18-2013   

Excellent. Loved it. More please. - dms_143 - Feb-16-2008   

Niiice!! What a hot little story. Go Gabrielle. - Anonymous - Oct-12-2010

who ever said xena was the only one who knew good strategies?? sweet and hot story.. - xtra dog - Jan-18-2013   

Very cute. Very hot. Great short ... Did I mention hot ... read. Whew. - Georgia - May-31-2014   

This is a realistic portrait of the beginning of a relationship between two women who have been scarred by what has happened to them before they meet. Kelly and Susan are very well rounded characters and the ending of the story feels like there should be a sequel after it. Well worth reading. - Lyn B - Jun-14-2011   

What a good story.Good plot and characters with just the right amount of angst and romance. - uber goober - Jan-10-2012

THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ! I HOPE YOU INTEND TO KEEP THESE CHARACTERS GOING WITH NEW ADVENTURES! THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN ABOUT THEM! - CHARLIE AND TERRI FAN - Feb 26th, 2003   

Another great story. Job well done - sassy123 - May-30-2011   

A good sequel:-) Charlie and Terri have great chemistry and this is more than a pwp.
Well worth reading:-) - Lyn B - Jun-01-2011   

Great sequel! Again short and sweet and very well written. - uber goober - Jan-03-2012   

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   

As usual, an exceptional piece written by one of my favorite bards. Ms. Bauden portrays the protective gentlebutch perfectly. Her affection and esteem for butches everywhere is evident. This is a well-written, sexy, touching story. I sincerely hope D.S writes a sequel. These are great characters and I would love to see more of them. Fantastic work! I recommend highly. - S. Lee - Mar 31st, 2003   

Wow!!! Go, DS!!! I have been a proud member of The Baudom for quite sometime now, and am a confirmed, for life, DS Bauden fan, so trust me, when I say, that DS has "topped" herself in this one!!! Sorry, couldn't resist the bad "butch" joke...heh...Anywho, if you enjoy a soft, sexy, gentle butch, stepping in to rescue a sweet lady fair in distress, you'll love this story!!! It touched my heart in ways nothing else I've read, and I've read A LOT, ever has, so thank you DS, from the bottom of my li'l ole "bottom" heart!!! Heh!!! Oh yes, and I, too, would like another, please, ma'am!!! - Michelle - Apr 1st, 2003   

I can only say...GOD OH Mamma...Do I want a story like this happening in my life..Jummy...ok Gyrls Showe it is for me..I need it badly after this one..He HE - Keegan Conner - Apr 8th, 2003   

A wonderful portrait of a "gentlebutch". I have read this a few times - great PWP as well as a well constructed story. - Georgia - Jan-28-2008   

This story has a little bit of everything in it:-) Gentlebutch saving damsel in distress, friendship and a pwp. It's very well written and leaves you with the feeling of wanting to know more about Alex and Amy in the future. Nice read:-) - Lyn B - Jun-01-2011   

nice pwp.. - xtra dog - May-23-2013   

Absolutely wonderful story. I will be buying this book ASAP. Mach 1 to this story, people. Highly recommended! - Kacie - Jul 5th, 2004   

This is the kind of story that will keep DS Bauden on bookshelves for years to come. It has emotion, passion, mystery, suspense, revenge - good girls, bad girls - everything you could want. It's very well written and the revised edition shows great attention to detail in developing these characters. Di has done a wonderful job of making Sydney more Australian. She's made the story significantly longer and the added material makes the story more complete. In all honesty, the revisions Di has made to this story have turned Nurturing Souls from my least favorite of her books to one I will now eagerly and wholeheartedly recommend. - Anonymous - Jul 21st, 2004   

I enjoyed this story very much...well done!! - JC - Apr-25-2008   

Excellent story. Lovely characters, setting, storyline. Highly recommended. So glad I found this fantastic author. Off to read more of her stories. - Anonymous - Oct-12-2010

Great PWP!!! What a stimulating way to spend 10 minutes!!! Short and very sweet!! - sapphie - Apr 1st, 2003   

Before you read this story, make sure you have a bucket of ice next to you...=) - Honeybee - Jul 28th, 2003   

A memorable PWP! - E - Jul 29th, 2003   

Hot PWP:-) - Lyn B - Jun-01-2011   

If you like tales that are short and sweet with a big dose of hot and steamy then read this one. It won't dissapoint. - uber goober - Jan-13-2012   

oh, you shouldn't hang up your keyboard.. that would be such a waste.. i do like your uber stories better, though.. the dialogues in x&g stories just seem a bit ouf of character to me.. - xtra dog - May-23-2013   

What a great story! I want a Charlie in my airport! This was HOT HOT HOT and I look forward to the sequel you just posted. Read the disclaimers here and do not read this at work! Ready for Take Off has definitely changed my opinion on flying. - Anonymous - Feb 24th, 2003   

Hot, sexy and very entertaining, this is one of my favourite PWPs. I could have lived without the sequels though. - Anonymous - Jan 22nd, 2005

Very good PWP. Hot and with fun characters. Recommended:-) - Lyn B - Jun-01-2011   

That was an incredibly HOT! story. Very well written and good plot even for a PWP. I was definetly impressed with it. - uber goober - Jan-03-2012   

wow.. i really loved this.. the dialogues are believable and funny.. can't find anything amiss.. highly recommended.. - xtra dog - May-22-2013   

Nice hot little story. Xx - SD - Sep-07-2015   

Always start a new paragraph when a different character is speaking. I must admit that got a little annoying after a while. Other than that it was a good story. - Anonymous - May 27th, 2003   

This is a rebuttal of Anonymous' feedback on the story. It looks as though there is a formatting problem with this story. I've read many stories by this bard and starting a new paragraph between a character's dialogue has never been an issue. If you read the stories on her website you'll see the difference. - Anonymous - May 28th, 2003   

very short thriller.. very long dialogues, though.. sometimes less is more.. - xtra dog - May-22-2013

I read this only because it was recommeded to me as I wasn't familiar with this bard. Before I knew what time it was, 4 a.m. came and went and I was still too engrossed in this story to go to sleep. What a great time travel story and anyone who enjoys this genre of writing will love it. The climax of it will stun you as it did me. Very well done and now I can't wait to read more of this bard's work. - Blayne - Mar 25th, 2004   

This was an interesting story - very unique! Had some really great moments, especially if you like time travel stories. Never expected the twist at the ending - good one! - AustinXenaChick - Sep 18th, 2005   

Wonderful story - Josje - Oct-27-2006   

WOW!! This is one of the best stories I've ever read. The twists and turns leave you hanging on until the very end. - Anonymous - Nov-04-2009   

Another wonderful story by this fantastic bard. Talk about twists and turns. Loved the unique twist. Read it - you'll really enjoy it. - Anonymous - Oct-13-2010   

Wow! That was an incredible tale. What a wild ending. Just make sure you have a box of kleenex near by for when you get near the end. - uber goober - Jan-18-2012   

this story is an emotional rollercoaster. having lost a parent, i know what kinds of grief you go through to want to really live again. bauden captures levels that are so real, they brought tears to my eyes on a few occastions. to have lost so much, it takes a lot to love again. this story definitely touched a chord deeply inside of me. it goes through many twists and turns at the climax of ths story and will leave you satisfied in the end. highly recommended!!! - huge fan fic fan - Dec 2nd, 2002   

This was a bittersweet story for me as I lost a relative a few days before reading it in its completion. Kelly and Susan have a love that most people only dream about....DSBauden's words brought many tears to my eyes and through this story her words have left a permanent smile in my heart. I HIGHLY recommend this story to anyone who has longed for that one "Great Love" a love that knows no bounds and one that cannot be denied. Great job Di....keep the stories coming girl! - Playgirl - Jan 20th, 2003   

I had the pleasure of reading this story after editing and before re-posting. This is definitely Ms. Bauden's finest work. I found myself, laughing, crying, aching,smiling, and finally cheering for the main characters. The flashback scenes were heartbreaking to read. The love scenes are definitely hotttt. Ms. Bauden engages the reader to such an extent, the story cannot be put down until completed. I cannot wait to have this book on my shelf. - S. Lee - Aug 6th, 2003   

If the measure of a good story is making the reader feel something, then this is a GREAT story. There is so much raw emotion - pain, angst, love, passion - the words and characters will stay with me for a very long time. Without question it is my favorite book. It's not a typical girl-meets-girl and lives happily ever after with riches and glee. It's so real with genuine problems and joys that it is hard to remember these women don't exist as our neighbors and friends. Then again, maybe they do. This is a phenomenal story. It holds something for everyone from every walk of life. - Anonymous - Jul 21st, 2004

Eu nunca, nunca dediquei um único minuto do meu tempo para avaliar qualquer estória que tenha lido ao longo dos anos. Porém, estas páginas me emocionaram de uma maneira única e inesquecível.
Fantástica leitura! - Paula Agath - Dec-05-2015   

Wow!!! Warning, hot, hot stuff, here!!! The amazingly talented DS Bauden has managed to pen another winner in this steamy, romantic, endearingly emotional Terri and Charlie tale. Well worth a read, or two or three!!! Thanks for sharing it with us, Ms. Bauden!!! Big, big kudos to you!!! - Michelle - Oct 16th, 2003   

Holy Cow! Hot doesn't even begin to describe this adventure. With a big blush, I will confess to having read this several times. It gets better each time. Here's a story that takes secret fantasies and brings them to life on the page in splendid detail. I can't wait to see what Charlie and Terri will discover next. All I can say is - Wow Di, Wow. - Anonymous - Jul 21st, 2004   

I am really enjoying this series of short tales alot. DS Bauden does an excellent job of developing her stories and her characters in such a small amount of time. - uber goober - Jan-03-2012   

very hot pwp.. with a sniff of romance.. - xtra dog - May-22-2013   

beautifully touching story. i couldn't put it down. thank you - Anonymous - Mar-22-2006   

Tomahawk'd the first full-length novel from DS Bauden in three years, is a story that was well worth the wait. The author demonstrates her talent and versatility by creating a story completely different from her previous work, both in theme and style. The common thread between this story and Bauden's previous books, is that readers will become so involved with the characters, they may forget they are fiction and continue to think about them long after the back cover has been closed. It is a book that is difficult to put down and includes twist and turns the reader won't be expecting. - Reader - Mar-25-2006   

This was such a charming story. Love the childhood into adults stories. Made me want to go to the lake. A really wonderful read. Thank you. - magrrrl - Oct-20-2006

Good story - very well written.
If it is angst you are seeking; look no further, this is the tale for you.
The only thing missing is good old fashioned, completely rational and justifiable ANGER between lovers.
DS Bauden acknowledges this somewhere in the piece, so again, well done. - Anna Lei - Jul-14-2009
