Vampire, Edward Masen, craves someone's body more than her blood.  Can he ever see Bella as more than a pleasure giver?  Can Bella ever see Edward as anything other than a monster?

This story is intended for mature readers only (18 and over).   Subject matter could be disturbing to some readers.

Although I admit your ending was a huge surprise, it was the ONLY way this story could have any hope for a HEA.  No other possible scenarios had any credibility.   Bravo!  Good writing.



Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked the ending, and whole story as well.  Your review means a lot to me.  Thank you!

Oh, come on!!  You've hooked me.  Now get that next chapter up so I can breathe again.



Author's Response:

Ha! Ha! Well, the story is also posted on FFN and there are 38 chapters to date. I'll be posting here hopefully every day or every other day. Thanks for reading, so glad you liked it so far!

Still hanging on the edge of that cliff, although there's a big enough hint to get a feeling of what may have developed in Bella's past.  I may just have to venture over to FF, but, on the other hand, suspense is good.  It is comforting to know that you have many chapters written already but please don't freeze up near the end as so many authors on these sites do.  Keep up the good work.

Such a cute chapter!  How long are you going to hold out on us before opening the curtain on Bella's back story?  Never mind, this fluff makes it worth the wait.



Author's Response:

Hey there~

So glad you liked the chapter. There is lots more to happen before you get all of Bella's story. Hope you will go along with the ride until we get there. There are 39 chapters of this story posted on FFN (its a REALLY long story!) so I'll try to update here regularly to get you caught up. There is a blog for the story: www (.) les16-thepathwechoose (.) blogspot (.)com where we have lots of really cool things for you to look at including pictures of everyone. Give it a look see and let me know what you think of it! I love it and we've worked really hard on it. Hope to hear from you again soon, thanks so much for reading and leaving a review!

I am rather shocked that your story has not yet received the reviews it deserves.  You are a good writer.  Your story has a very intriquing premise which has certainly piqued my interest.  Please continue.

There is only one person on this earth that Edward Cullen hates, and that's his boss...Bella Swan. She's cold. She's ruthless and incapable of human emotion, and to Edward's greatest frustration, the hottest woman walking the face of the planet. Will a proposition made change the course of their lives forever? Will they break the rules, or will all terms and conditions apply?

Lemon? Yes please!

I am so derelict when it comes to giving reviews and I really regret that, especially in this case.  I am a former teacher and poor grammar, sentence construction, spelling, etc. usually put me in such a tailspin that I cannot read a poorly written story no matter how good the concept.  When you referred to criticisms, I thought, "What is she talking about?"  Whether your errors were so minor I didn't notice them or your story was so appealing I overlooked them, I don't know.  But please continue soon, with or without a Beta.  I was so excited to see an update today and would hate to have to wait to see this story continue.

Both your characters are delightful.  Bella is such a mix of vulnerability and haughtiness and Edward is the perfect foil to balance those two traits.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much gretel!

I've have been bombarded by the most amazing reviews today that I fear I won't close an eye tonight?  And why, you may or may not ask?  Because I'm going to pull an all nighter to write the next chapter and completely ignore the critics out ther!  Well, not really - but it felt good saying it (the critics part - not the all nighter part)!  ;)

I've received some responses to an 'add' I've placed on adifferentforest for a beta, and I'm most definitely going to take the ladies up on their offer to help.

I will however refrain from keeping you guys waiting much longer!

As soon as chapter 18 (the real one) is done, I'm posting it!  Hopefully I'll be able to do that by tomorrow or the day after!

Thanks again for parting from you tendencies to be a 'derelict when it comes to giving reviews'. ;)  It means a lot!!!

 

Summary:

Edward Masen and Bella Swan, high school sweethearts who married young, have their lives turned upside down when Edward is “discovered”. Celebrity, tragedy, alcohol and excess dissolve what seems to be indestructible… or does it? Can love rise above fame and indulgence? Or does Hollywood truly alter what is good in a man?

You write beautifully.  I don't usually read incomplete stories, but after enjoying your one-shot posted today, I couldn't resist dipping into this.  I'm glad I did because you have quite a talent for beautiful description.  However, after checking out your list of previously posted fics, I was disappointed to see that your track record for finishing is disappointing.  I'll be keeping this one on my "watch list" while hoping for up-dates.  Keep writing please, this premise is intriguing and you obviously have the talent to bring these characters to life.



Author's Response: Sweetheart, you're making me tear up here. Thank you, for your wonderful words. They've truly touched my heart and my soul. I know my track record for finishing fics isn't the best, but this story is different. It's stolen my focus 100%, its almost all I think about anymore. So, have faith that I'll break my un-finished streak with this beauty. Thank you for reading, for reviewing, and for giving me (and the story) a chance.

My brother, Emmett, saw the Craigslist ad, but I was the one who found the deal of a liftime. A blank DVD case never looked so good, or, after meeting its owner, held so much promise before. AH, ExB.
