I do not know why, but this story is extremely hard for me to swallow. I enjoy different...i really do! I read the different fanfictions and i have nothing against pologamy, although i would never ever be able to have a relationship like that! I guess coming into this story i expected that Edward and Bella would end up together alone, like i really feel they should be-i expected for Edwards feelings for Bella to surpass any feelings he felt for Alice and Rosalie and for himself and Bella to end up together in the end. I guess what really irks me is that this isnt a 3-some, and while i am glad thats the case, it just absoutely kills me that these women have to share---i mean, really fight for time with Edward! It is horrible! The emotional strings that tie up a relationship are not fully tied together---Edward has to be the "partner" to 2, and now possibly 3 different women! Therefore it is no longer a partnership! I cannot imagine that type of life and why anyone would settle for it---i understand that people have their reasons and i respect them for that, but its painfull for me to see that be the case with our Edward and Bella. No women deserves to need someone and have to live with the fact that his time is split and you are not his only priority. I really thought that i would enjoy this story, and i have been sticking with it hoping for some better outcome, but im losing hope now and it is painfull to watch Bella settle for this and Edward work so hard in trying to be split...
Maybe im just too cannon...because i find the lemons and limes between Edward/Rosalie and Edward/Alice hard to read---i actually skim them, which is crazy cuz i love my smut! But it just seems so wrong for the Edward and Bella that i love. I keep waiting for Emmett and Jasper to appear and stir things up, but at this point, i dont see that happening and it makes me very sad for all of them...Rosalie clearly needs someone whos focus is 100% on her, and i wish the same for Alice...I honesty do not see any of them particularily happy with this arrangement...

I have to admit that I am a Edward/Bella fan myself and it kills me when they are not together. But I got the idea for this story and just felt the need to go with it. I can't say if they will end up alone, but I also can't say that Edward's feeling for Bella wont surpress those of Rose and Alice. I honestly haven't decided how they will end up in the end. I have three possible paths and I am just going to go with what I know for sure is going to happen and see what fits best for the story. You never know what could happen.
I know that I could never share, I agree that it must be horrible to know what the love of your life is doing when he is not with you. But people live this way and they are happy. I have a friend that is in a polygamist marriage and she is very happy. There are many reason for people to live this way.
I have to admit that when I write the lemons I don't whrite them as Rose or Alice.
Thank you for reading and reviewing, I understand if it's too much for you, but I'm glad that you let me know what you were thinking.

i have to say first off that i just found his story and read what you have so far and am totally invested in your characters...yet the spicyness of the earlier chapters, where bella was tough and made edward work for it hasflamed out a bit...which makes me sad. i love angst and drama and i love tough bella but it is honestly pissing me off that she forgives him so quickly and easily everytime i think major shit and angst is gonna go down...i wanna see edward suffer for his bullshit he pulls and i dont wanna see bella being so weak willed for him...looking forward to major shit hitting the fan...and hopefully bella stays strong this time...he has done her wrong so many times, i wanna see edward get his worst fear and her leave him...with an eventual, hard earned hea...
looking forward to an update
Author's Response:
My Bella in this story is tough and feisty, but there will be not much angst in this story since this is not one. It's a romance in a crime-filled world. Sorry if I disappoint you in that department.
Anywho, I appreciate that you still want to read further. Really makes me happy. ;)
Don't worry, I'll update soon. Thanks. ;)

So i actually love this story! I was soo very excited when i saw the chapter update...but honestly, this chapter was really dissappointing! :(
Edward just sounded plain old stupid, his interaction with Emmett and the gay guys were kinda pointless and not very funny. It felt like a filler chapter, and took my respect for Edward wayyyyyyyyyyy down. Before, Edward was written as very sexy, now he just seems stupid. Nothing he said, thought or did in this chapter was remotely attractive, or even very interesting. I feel like he was a completly different guy here...and i liked the guy he was before a hell of alot better.
I dont like how the chapter ended...that Bella took him back so easily, its unrealistic...i hope she puts up a hell of a better fight soon. He needs to prove himself immensly and is very undeserving of her affections at the moment. I am upset that Bella is even speaking to him, let alone making out and dry humping with him!
Very weird chapter...But a great story up until it.
Author's Response:

okay...im finally coming out of the woodwork and i am going to be honest...from the beginning, i was somewhat repulsed by this story. i stuck with it and became invested to see how it would turn out...to see if you could make it out to be an inspiring story of change and growth and maturity rather than what i saw it for. i had hope for it and these characters. i honestly was completely turned off by this edward...him making her call his daddy was and still is beyond disturbing, not for the actual word, but in the way he used it...he didnt just want her to call him daddy during play and punishment in the bedroom...but all the time...and he really meant it in a parental way. the way he treated bella throughout this story and the ways shes acted are so very unattractive to me and disturbing. but i have stuck around because i thought you might just surprise us with a great twist, bringing on some much needed maturity from these too and the people around them...i look at other great writers of fanfiction and how they manage to make their smut filled stories into so much more...emotions, life teachings, and personal growth. and i hoped that you would as well. i was very happy with the pregnancy twist and the breakup and still am...i saw the pregnancy coming for awhile but worried that you would continue to let our characters continue their distructive relationship together in spite of it. i am extremely glad that they are broken up and that bella is beginning to show signs of maturity and personal growth but i worry that your making it too easy. they both have a long way to go before they are mature and responsible enough to be parents...and edward has a lot of mental and emotional issues that need to be dealt with on his own before becoming a father, or getting back with bella. all i ask of you is to please give this story the credit it needs and make it realistic...let your characters mature and wisen back up and hopefully make magic in the end, rather than continue down the path they were both on. please do the situation you have created justice rather than settling for less and an easy route. thank you for your writing and entertainment.
When Bella and Edward hook up at a party their lives quickly become complicated, causing a rift in their close knit circle of friends. Despite the fallout, they can’t stay away from each other. Neither of them are able to admit the depths of their feelings for the other and when Edward has to leave for Italy and Bella realizes she’s attracted to her friend Claire, their already shaky relationship is in danger of falling apart.

Date: 26 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 60: Epilogue Part II - Night and Day
you know that i love this story very much...i have been so deeply invested and felt sdo connected to your characters all throughout it. the last two chapters...the epilogue...were a bit dissappointing in a way, but i understand that these are your characters and your story and you probably know them alot better than i do. i was surprised and a bit dissappointed with how long it took for edward and bella to move in together...and get married. and thr epilogue in general just felt extremely dissconnected from any emotions and feeling...which otherwise were so prominent without even saying throughout the rest of the story. i hate criticism, but i am just trying to be honest when i say that i didnt like the epi, im sorry. more than that, it felt like a boring summary of the rest of their lives, and instead of feelings of happiness and coming full circle, i felt like our edward and bella had become completely different people..,kind of boring and predictible...i couldnt feel their joy or happiness...and that leaves me feeling sad after reading this, other than happy. i also really didnt like that they didnt want children, and had none. i love children, and i want many of my own...so its just foreign to me that they would settle for a life without children of their own...that kind of attitude is sometimes seen in young selfish couples, but then most of them change their minds with age, i would have never thought this edward and bella wouldnbe like that, and stick with it. its very sad to me. i respect your decision to do that with your story, but it just took the happiness and life out of the ending for me, personally. the rest of the story, apart from the epilogue, was amazing and brilliant and i love your writing. thank you for taking us on the journey along with edward and bella. i will look out for your other writing
Author's Response:
I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I am trying to catch up on review replies on Twilighted too.
I am also sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the epilogue. I certainly never want to disappoint my readers.
Despite being madly in love, Edward and Bella both had always planned to be more established before they settled down, so I don't think waiting a few years to move in together/get married was a surprise for either of them. Although it is a story of a deep, true love, it's not one without some grounding in reality. I thought it was important for both of them, and the long term happiness and stability of their relationship, that they wait a little longer.
I am sorry that you felt it was lacking emotion. It is of course difficult to touch on so many parts of their life without losing a bit of the depth. I haven't received that response from anyone else however, so I don't really know how to respond. You were left wanting, and I am sorry for that.
As far as them not having children, that was something I considered for a very long time, but don't have the slightest bit of regret about including. This is a deeply personal story, based in many ways off of things I struggled with in my own life, and this is one aspect of it. I find your comment about it being primarily young selfish couples who feel that way a bit offensive.
I am married, have been with my husband for seven years and we are 29 and 30 years old. It's a decision we have talked about many, many times and always reached the same conclusion. Children are not something we desire. I love the children of my friends and my family, and enjoy spending time with them, but I have never had the desire to be a mother. I have a loving, happy, healthy relationship with my husband. And I had a wonderful childhood growing up with two loving parents, so it isn't that I am in some way damaged or not capable of being a good parent. But I truly believe it is more selfish to have a child that isn't wanted whole-heartedly just because it's what most people do, than choosing not to have one. But, that is of course a personal opinion, and I can understand why someone who deeply wants a child might not quite understand where I am coming from. There are more people like me in the world than you might expect. All wonderful people who are capable of being good parents, but are chosing not to be. I don't expect to change your mind, but perhaps you can at least see that it is often a mature, informed decision.
I tell you this so you know that it wasn't a decision I made lightly for myself, or for the characters either. I truly believe it was the right choice for the characters. I am of course disappointed that you dislike the choice, but you are welcome to imagine another future for them.
Don't think for a moment that I don't appreciate your review. I would ALWAYS rather hear your opinion, even if it's criticism. I appreciate your honesty.
Date: 12 May 2011 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 44 - Magdalena
iam a huge fan of this story...i am really invested in it, and i have read what you have written so far for it multiple times, but honestly this chapter was wayyy to much for me. after last chapter, i just wasnt expecting to be so disgusted by bella and claire in this chapter. and dont get me wrong, i wasnt disgusted by thrie physical actions...but by the emotional ramifications and i cannot believe that bella is being so utterly unsensitive and stupid. i never thought she would go this far...to discuss and consider being exclusive with one another...to tell jacob...and to consider a relationship with her. i knew something was coming with claire, but i guess i never thought it would be so emotionally serious, especially when she has been so emotionally distant from edward, the man she claims to love, this entire time. honestly, i dont like it and i skimmed the chapter, looking for edwards name and only read the parts that pertained to him...i got the gist of all the bella/claire lemons, but couldnt stomach them...which is weird because i usually love all lemons, straight or slash...but the emotional stupidity of bella made them disturbing to me, and i dont like the betrayal to edward...which, again, is also weird for me because i love angst and a tortured edward. i understand that you feel you have to do this for the story, because honestly it would just be a fluffy romance without it, and i appreciate your writing the angst, but i do not think i can read and enjoy these chapters until i see what happens when edward comes back and he and bella work things out and claire gets kicked to the curb...until then, i skim. i thought bella was gonna do a bit of exploration and have some fun, but this is serious and i dont much care for that.
Author's Response:
I knew this chapter was going to be hard for some people to read. Like I said, I won't apologize for it, it's what I felt needed to happen for the story. However, I do hate to upset my readers...that's always a struggle.
Things between Bella and Claire won't continue for much longer, and if you would prefer to just skim until that's over I can understand that. I appreciate that you aren't giving up totally on it. Please do skim through the next chapter (ch. 45), the ending is something you will want to read. The fact that you are so invested and care so much for the characters means so much to me. It's hugely flattering as a writer and I hope you are happy with the way it all unfolds.
Bella never really considered being exclusive with Claire. Yes, they discussed it. But frankly is a BIG step for Bella. In some ways, she is making progress by being with Claire, because she's learning how to communicate better, and be more open. It's easier with Claire because her feelings aren't as strong for her as they are for Edward. But she is learning from the experience, and she needs it to get to the right point mentally to be ready for a relationship.
Thank you so much for your review, I appreciate hearing both the positive and the negative.
Date: 17 May 2011 Title: Chapter 47: Chapter 47 - Winter In My Heart
i love that it wasnt a happy reunion...its realistic. they have a long way to go in resolving things, and i hope that it stays realistic and shows the struggle. great chapter and you are a great writer. i would love to read this story from an edward point of view once you finish it.
Author's Response:
I tried very hard to make it realistic. And I definitely won't be glossing over the struggle.
I won't do a story that's entirely Edward's POV. I will do an epilogue from his perspective that will cover him thinking back about their relationship and into their future. And I will do a few (maybe 2-3) chapters from his perspective. If you have a request for which chapter you'd like to see from his POV, let me know!
Date: 10 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 55: Outtake - Burnin' For You (EPOV)
i love finally hearing from edward so this chapter was great. what i have really wanted to know was his pov from this point up until he convinces her to regularly see him, like the phone and im relationship they build up and the flirting and phone sex, and the park sex...up until she moves into the dorms and they start seeing eachother regularly...and i always wondered his thoughts once he found out she was a virgin.
great writing...i really really appreciate these epov outtakes
Author's Response:
I am glad you enjoyed it! At least right now I don't think I'll do those chapters from Edward's POV, but I will keep it in mind.
And I can give you a super short summary of Edward's thoughts once he found out she was a virgin. For about 30 seconds he freaked out, thinking Bella was going to wind up complicating everything and getting clingy and weird. And when it occured to him that she wasn't acting that way at all, he was pissed. Pissed at her for not telling him, but mostly pissed at himself for not asking her. Because Edward is always inclined to blame himself, even when he wasn't the one at fault. :)
Thanks for the review!
