Cast: Lucia, Susy, Megan, Isabel, Meggy, Jenna
This story is great! Visualizations are perfect. I could almost feel the flexing leg muscles during the "lap dance". Now if this comment doesn't get someone to read this story...nothing will! Thanks for the great short! - jlnickymaster - Feb 24th, 2004   

Yeah. nice story. :D - lyneX - Apr-05-2008   

New Life by A.K. Naten     
Original / Uber | Ancient | Alternative (Mature) | Drama | Short Story - 44 pages | Finished | Oct-03
Cast: Emma, Danny, Edward, Isaac
Honors/Awards:  #55 in 2005    
How many chances does a person get at a 'new life'? 'Period piece' set in the 1850's Oregon territory; Drama; Angst.
New Life, Turning Tides and Second Son (not finished) are well written by this author. I like what A.K. Naten does with erotica in these three. Could limit some of the 'head talking' that each character gives to 'tell' us what they're thinking etc in Turning Tides...but it did keep me reading until finished. I think this will be a book Aug2005 according to A.K.N. page. I love stories that have the X character as she is in these pieces...gender straddling/dominance. S. Anne Gardner's great writing also comes to mind for strong X character's not to mention intriquing plots. - Anonymous - Jan 12th, 2005   

Second Son by A.K. Naten

Cast: Anton, Aldred, Gwynneth, Edgar, Weldon, Marquess, Alice, Earl
Honors/Awards:  Perennial Favorite Award: #89 in 2004, #73 in 2005, #58 in 2006    
A Medieval-era tale that follows the story of two people who are brought together under less than ideal circumstances, and must learn to adapt to each other, as well as their new lives. Deception, heartache, and twists of fate complicate feelings and alter futures, and relationships struggle between bouts of love and despair.
Excellent! This is going to be a whopper of a romance. Naten does it again. Please finish..soon!! Like "Turning Tides", I am sure this one will blow us away. Love this writer and boy oh boy will I be checking every day to see new installments.Wonderful. - Califa - Sep 29th, 2004

Though there has been a huge gap in posting on this story, it's been well worth the wait. A.K. Naten has not let the lapse deter from the story's focus and momentum and I am looking forward reading to this continuing saga. - Kaye - Aug 6th, 2005

great great read! interestingly narrated, really puts you in the shoes of the characters plus adds understanding of another culture; it can't have been easy to be them. thank you A.K. Naten - Kat - Jun-23-2007   

Thanks very much for finishing this story...I was dying to know the end. - golem3 - Jul-02-2007   

All I can say is READ IT...NOW...in one sitting, if you can. Wonderful!!! - Dal - Jul-07-2007   

Loved, loved, loved this story. Great characters, compelling plot. What was best about it was the understanding of what it might have been like to live in the time period described. How might have any woman or man adjusted to what was expected of them for their entire lives, if that was not what they expected of themselves?

Read it. You'll enjoy it. - micah6 - Oct-22-2007

Cast: Evelyn, Jackie, Maggie, Evie, Kristin, Taylor, Lauren, Coach, Jacqueline
A woman who is unlucky in love meets up with someone who could change her losing streak. Will they get a hit, or will they strike out?
Softball and sexual tension? Of Course! Characters are beautifully rounded out. Story line flows. Heat of passion is tremendous. There is some well written mother/daughter angst. Good READ! - jlnickymaster - Feb 24th, 2004   

Loved it. - anon - Mar-16-2008   

Turning Tides by A.K. Naten

Honors/Awards:  Perennial Favorite Award: #17 in 2004, #82 in 2005, #37 in 2006    
Love is rarely perfect... sometimes it seems impossible. A young woman leaves her troubled past, determined to start a new life in a new city. When she becomes hopelessly entangled with a domineering, emotionally embattled individual, she doesn't know if it's a dream come true, or her worst nightmare.
This is a FANTASTIC story and I am waiting with baited breath for the rest of it! - Sprout - Dec 18th, 2003   

This is a intensely moving story. A.K. Naten really brings her characters to life and we really feel their pain and their joy. It is a great story and a must read. - Charles - Dec 29th, 2003   

This story produces addiction. I couldn?t stop reading till the end, and then, I couldn?t stop thinking of the characters. Great one. - Pru - Jan 23rd, 2004   

Very well done. Great character development. Plan some time when you read this, you won't want to stop. I'm hopeing there is a sequel ones of these dyas. - Anonymous - Feb 9th, 2004   

Turning tides is a great read. It portrays the helplesness in the maelstr?m of love and sexual attraction/need quite well.Naten could have fleshed out some parts in more detail, added perspective or a bit more conclusion, such as: what of the "sneaky stepbrother"?. His machinations and the plans/deals he apparently made during his vacation are not referred to again further in the story. Perhaps a sequel is in the making? Also the need for anonymous, strongly dominant sex. That, to my mind, could not just disappear overnight, so to speak. But well, those are just my thoughts.I really enjoyed reading it and certainly recommed it to others!Letterwolf - letterwolf - Mar 12th, 2004   

Yup, this story is definitely addictive! Hoping for a sequel too! If you like Turning Tides, you may wanna check out Poetry in Motion and When You Dance with the Devil by Harley. - UberCrazy - May 3rd, 2005   

this story made me late for my classes, work, and everything the past 2 days.. nicely weaved! - ibh - Jan 25th, 2006   

kept me reading all night and the following day :) loved it! loved it!!! - Katrina - Feb 15th, 2006   

Phew! A.K. Naten takes you on an emotional rollercoster ride with Alli and M.J. and quite frankly there were times when I wanted to smack the both of them around the head because they were just so frustrating at times. However, this story is well worth the read, but I warn you if you like only happiness in your fiction then this may not be for you. These two drag themsleves through the mill, not just once or even twice, noooo several bloody emotionally fraught times. It would be nice to have a sequal and see the characters have a few good times now that they've come out the otherside. - Sai - Apr-03-2006   

This is just incredible. I really love this story. I can't believe I never heard of it before. A.K. Naten just made me roll with the incredible emotions in this story and I loved it all the way. I highly recommend taking some time to read this. It's absolutely terrific. - royuki - Jul-28-2006   

this was a very good story, I could feel and see all theses chartcters in this story.... I also felt the pain and the sorrow, and the passion.....as I read each line... I was very glad to see MJ finally face her fears... and go after Allsion.... this was long to read, but well worth it.. I will read it again. Thank goodness, it had a happy ending! - Anonymous - Aug-14-2006   

I can't believe this story is in any top 10!!! An absolutely fabulous story. It doesn't matter what you read from Ms A.K. Naten it is alwaya great. Inge - 04.07.2007 - Inge - Jul-03-2007   

this story kept me awake..i couldn't put it down..i loved it - leia - Jul-25-2007   

I saw this story listed as unfinished, but I was quite sure I had read it a while ago & enjoyed it very much. It was different from many other stories out there, taking several twists & turns to get from point A to point B, so I remembered the title. It is finished - 10 parts on your site, so you might want to update that. I wouldn't want to put anyone off reading this one, as I generally won't start reading unfinished stories - just too frustrating. - LAL - Aug-18-2007   

VERY hot - Anonymous - Mar-06-2008   

Terrific story! Would love to read a sequel or anything else from this writer! - Anonymous - Mar-16-2008   

What a fantastic read!!! You will love the characters' development in this story... A sequel is a must in this story lol:)).... Read this amazing tale and you will not regret it. - Fan - Mar-31-2008   

Great story. I found it a lil hard to get into, but when I did, I could not stop reading. - lyneX - Apr-05-2008   

Great story. The only thing I didn't like is that Allie didn' manage to once say really no. - Anonymous - Apr-06-2008   

Unspoken Question by A.K. Naten     
Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative | Romance (alt) | Short Story - 20 pages | Finished | Jul-04
Cast: Claire, Dan, Georgie
They say that sometimes, 'a girl likes to be asked.' But I don't always find that to be true. Sometimes you don't need to ask. Sometimes you just can't. Sometimes, it's just best if it remains... unspoken. ...Or, is it?
Great story - is there going to be an answer to the unspoken question? I'd love to read more... - Anonymous - Sep 26th, 2004   

This was a great read. It had happiness and sadness and every emotion in between. I especially love the one characters mantra of "wtf"! Very funny. Thanks for writing. Keep up the great job. - jlnickymaster - Oct 10th, 2004
