I really like these two and it is interesting to see a story with a actress and talk show host in love. The separation will be interesting.

Thanks. Yes, the separation will be quite interesting.

Gosh I love these two. If know thing else it brought them together as a family. The Skanky twins accosting Bella is so not cool. To physically attack her in her own home is a sad testiment to the mindset of this town and the jealousy of those girls. I hope they remember this for the positives that came out of it and not the negative reaction of a few. They are not biological siblings. People need to get their heads around that.
Bella and James Swan move out west after their parents death. Moving to Wyoming, they both come to work on the ranch of Edward Cullen. See what happens when your life and love are as wild as the west.

I LMAO when she said Edward went animalistic. Ed's short talk with Emmett is the first time he said anything about why he stayed with Tanya. I just thought he was still in love with her and pussy whipped.
So it took Bella getting pregnant for him to see her as a girl and her to realize her feeling were more than friendly.

Love, love, love this update. This marks the start of a lot of action. Taylor's little snarky remarks and internal thoughts are priceless. I don't know how you come up with them. In the books Taylor is this shadowy entity who executes Mr. Gray's every whim. I love that in this story Taylor is center stage and full of personality. Thanks for updating.

It is interesting to watch events take place from another perspective. Good job with this.
Author's Response:
Thanks very much!
Date: 23 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2
I sort of stumbled on to this story. Of course I've read the trilogy and MOTU, so I wasn't sure what I would find in this story. It is really, really good. I don't know why I never considered what Taylor would think of Christian and his life style. You seem to have captured the feel of those characters. I look forward to reading more.
Date: 23 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
When you think about it this must be a lot to take in...and at 23. Wow. I can't tell if Taylor is impressed or just shocked. Probably both. But Christian seems kind.
Author's Response:
No wonder Christian is so emotionally at sea - it's just work, work, work with him. That's his coping mechanism for life.

Date: 13 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
It's nice to think that Taylor and Mrs. Jones were just as "busy" as Ana and Christian.
Author's Response:
Yes, Gail is a lucky, lucky woman!
Date: 20 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - The Well of Loneliness
All I can say is excellent, excellent, excellent. I love how you have captured the story from the perspective of two important players, Taylor and Gail. They know more about Christen then his own family...they are his family. You are doing an excellent job with this. I think E.L. James would be proud.
Date: 10 Oct 2012 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - The Long Weekend
I love this look into Gray's life but through Taylor. I always wondered about Taylor's daughter. Something else that has not come up yet that I wondered about...how did Mrs Lincoln get Ana's e-mail address when she sends her a message at SIP? Think about is, this was never answered. The message just appears in her inbox. I look forward to the Charity Event through Taylor's eyes.
Author's Response:
Elena probably knew where Ana was working. All she'd have to do is phone up and ask for it, I guess. Yes, we need some Sophie and Taylor interaction. I'll make sure I do that soon.
Date: 31 Oct 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25, Masquerade
Thanks for doing one of my favorite scenes. Little Miss Gray is beyond annoying. Poor Taylor.
Author's Response:
Yeah, Mia is something else. Poor Taylor - I guess everyone has a weak spot:)
Date: 11 Nov 2012 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26 - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
That was exciting. It was pretty amazing how Leila was able to get pass Taylor for all that time. This was good.
Author's Response:
Yes, and he's REALLY pissed off about it!
Date: 30 Nov 2012 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27
I do like you writing so I will give it a try.
This was good. The view of things from Taylor's POV is fascinating. Even he, as pissed and as skrewed up as he thinks Gray is, fells sorry for him. He also fears that Ana will get damaged by Gray. That comes through in your story.
Author's Response:
Thank yoiu - twice. I appreciate that.
Date: 26 Sep 2013 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38
Excellent update. It is interesting that although I know what happens next from Ana's POV the story still seems fresh when it comes from Taylor. You should be applauded for that.You might want to go back and change the name of the beauty salon where Mrs. Lincoln works and manages...you call it Escala (their home).

You captured the manipulative evil of the Mrs. Lincoln in my mind. Based on her showdown with Ana both at the fundraiser and Christian's birthday, I felt she underestimated Ana and was trying to push her away. I'm sorry I keep repeating myself but I really HATE this woman. I hope that Mrs. Gray destroys her socially. As a mother I know just sending her away would not be enough. She wouldn't press charges because of the publicity and Christian is now of age. That would not mean I would let it go...just saying. Something else I never understood. How did she get Ana's email address? I've read the story twice and it was never explained.
Loved this!
Author's Response:
I'm sure Grace cutting Elena socially would have an effect but not as much as we might hope. Elena is a successful businesswoman but I can't help thinking that her prediliction for young men will end up catching her out at some point. There's a 3 year cut off date for the statue of limitations on this but because of the extreme nature of her relationship with Christian, I think the law might work differently. But by this point, Christian would be the bigger loser. Wouldn't you just want to go and slash her tyres?!

The workings of this man's mind is amazing. Ana is stronger than most people reading he books give her credit for. It takes a strong and loving person to stand up and stand by Christian. I would have caves when he put on the jeans. :)
Edward Cullen is a famous movie star as is his girlfriend Tanya, the mother of his child. Their son is a week old and can't seem to keep any formula down. Annoyed by the crying and finding motherhood tedious, Tanya takes off for the spa and a commercial shoot leaving Edward alone with their newborn.
After trying nearly every formula on the market, Esme, Edward's sister suggests breast milk. It seems like a long shot, but when Bella Swan answers the unusual ad, Edward thinks all of his problems are solved. His son is doing well, but he has a new problem, an undeniable attraction for the woman who saved his son's life.
