Date: 02 Jan 2013 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 13
oh Edward, you are just making things twice as hard for yourselves.
"Where would you go if you are trying to start a new life but you had nowhere to go and no one to care? Bella Swan has been alone for most of her life, she is young and she is scared, but now she has another life to protect. She is heading for a new country - a new life and then she ends up in HOPE SPRINGS. Her life intertwines with all the eccentric characters in this little piece of heaven in Vermont and just like that - she will never be the same. She meets the Sherriff, the truck driver, the semi-retired doctor, the lawyer, the farmer, and the new best friends, but it is the new young doctor in town that turns her life upside down. Is he as stuck up as he seems or does he have a wild side? Is Bella as tough and as jaded as she seems? Will she run, or will she allow the people in this town to teach her to hope, to dream, and to love?"

So an example of epic timing tonight, the hubs and son were watching some awful, loud, full of bad language war movie while I was trying to read my lovely romantic ffs, so I put on aol radio (with those lovely new dj earphones that block out sound) and pick the power ballads station. Happily I am reading and listening to soothing yet cheesy music. When lo and behold, while reading the scene between e and b about how she never felt this way and what she wants to do and then he says what he wants to do, Foreigners "I wanna know what love is" comes on. I tell you that could not have been a more perfect song for that scene. lol.
ok now thats off my chest I have to tell you that I know you prob got a lot of gruff for Edward leaving, yes I was upset too, but usually in ff when someone has issues w/ drugs and alcohol after rehab you never hear them struggling with it again. YOu kept it real Michele...he knew he was heading in a dark direction and he took care of it (just should have went about it differently for everyones sake)
Esme have faith hun have faith...and boom chicka wow wow w/ Carlisle mmmmm, who by the way was sexy as hell when he n d Ed almost threw down. LOL I think this is the longest review I have ever written sorry bout this lol See ya next go around!
Date: 15 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - Mistletoe and Bar fights
oh jeez...damn that could have been a fun night if it were not for that little dickhead. Oh well at least they made up for it the next day...smooches all around. I kinda wanna take bets on how "slow" these two actually go lol. I am thinking its going to be quicker than they actually think. Love the way the girls fight for the boys and the boys take care of the girls...'cept Riley ... Bree needs to let that one go if he hides behind her just when her big bro glares lol. as usual, I love this chapter and am looking forward to next week.
ps your rec is already on my mile long list...don't think i will ever read every thing I am recc'd lol but when the authors I really love rec something I usually read those first so I guess I will be reading that one soon.
Date: 01 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Yes ma'am I do want the huge ass chapter. LOL I know you write your fingers off to give us these deliciously long chapters, but yours I just want to keep reading and reading and reading. OK I know you can't but ahhh what a horrible cliffie woman!!!! I will be waiting with a foot tapping away for the next chapter. See ya then
Author's Response:
Hey Vick - you are such a greedy little thing! stop with the foot tapping and relax until the weekend!!!
:)
p.s. tissue warning to follow......
hehehehehe!
Date: 23 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Revelations and Goodbyes
Edward is a douche nozzel...j/s. Now that i have that off my chest, good chapter, happy news, glad the family and the dog are there for her but damnit Edward you said you would be there for her and she needs you now more than ever. Sigh....woman you made me all grrrr today
Date: 12 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - Lessons and Lessons
Oh hun sorry rl being a pisser, hope all is well. I will take anything I can get from you and enjoy every second of it. Over the weekend went to see a movie and they advertised a movie called people like us and I just smiled to myself, hoping that viewers would look this up on the internet and instead find you and your wonderful stories lol.
Wonderful chapter, snotty british dude 0-Edward-Wins!!!! Oh and nice pic btw lol , tried to talk the hubs into one, not going to happen lolol.
Date: 29 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED!
whew that chapter was hot lol, Poor Edward. Bella is going to try all those things she never got to and he is going to be the one that corrals her when she gets outta hand lol. Oh but how they love each other. LOve this chap thanks
Vicki
Date: 01 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - "All I want for Christmas is you..."
omg I was going to call you a cock-block-asaurus and then I read about your car. So no name calling for you this go around lol. Am sorry to hear about that tho thats has to suck!
Just as I was saying Rose and Alice were giving such good advice and then they blow it. They didn't take Neds feeling at all into consideration and that was not fair. Amazed at how mature Bella is handling things and how wonderful Carlisle and Esme give advice.
Glad The men had a sit down with Edward too. Even tho he is the "adult" (hmm hmm drive off w/out warning hmm hmm) he needs to hear how hard relationships can be and how much work they take to be good. Good for the boys. Wonderful chapter as always, and don't over extend yourself hun. Good luck finding a new car and see ya next chapter.
Vicki
p.s. forgot to say in my last review how much I love your pictures. They are always beautiful!
Date: 31 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - First dates and Ice skates
ok are your ready for the crazy that is your fans (ok me just me) When this chapter updated last week I got it very late and was about to head to bed...could not go to sleep knowing this was in my inbox so I read it swearing to myself that I would reread and review in the A.M. of course being the dork that I am I forgot. Now the next chapter came in and I havent reviewed this chapter. OH MY GOSH the guilt I am feeling lol. I know the wonderful person you are you will absolve me but I still feel awful. So for penance I refuse to read the new chapter (talk about willpower) until I have reread and reviewed this chapter.
Whew I feel better getting that off my chest.
I did love this chapter very much, we often forget how very young and innocent this girl is. I know she has seen some pretty harsh shit growing up in the system, but she has also been so isolated from her peers that she really doesnt know simple things that we take for granite. Poor Edward, suprised he didn't pop off right then and there lol. I loved the discussion with Alice and Rose, its good that she has slighty older more experianced woman to give her good solid advice and not some teenage half baked advice lol. Its also great that she is mature enough to take the advice and not just brush it off like most teens would.
So is she going to take out half the town at the ice skating party...lets go see shall we. LOL
thats my hint that I going to go read the new chapter now (still guilty but not as bad.)
See ya soon
Date: 26 Jan 2012 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7
oh dear she really is opening up thats good. I just hope nobody abuses this new development. Good luck Edward.
Date: 18 May 2012 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 - Easter Eggs and New Faces
Just this week, every time I got a TWCS update in my mail I was going this is it...Hope Springs, then I got worried. Thank goodness you are okay, hope you are recovering quickly. What a wonderful chapter. She is growing so much as a woman and as a member of a large and loving family. Edwards patience is awe inspiring. Looking forward to next chapter and hopes for you to feel better soon.
Date: 01 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Honour thy father
oh wow did I get teary this chapter or what! My dad had the 21 guns, and flag, and taps gosh there nobody who could go through that w/out breaking down.
I see great strides in Bella, she is becoming the woman she was ment to be and I am so proud of her.
Good chapter Michele.
Author's Response:
thank you for sharing about your dad. I hope that I did it justice. Thanks so much for your review
Date: 29 May 2012 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23 - Summer Time
Oh Michele, where do you find your pictures to go along with this story. They are wonderful. I love how confident she has become and yet still retains that bit of an edge. Charlies friends are awesome I hope she gets to keep in touch with them.
Date: 10 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - New Beginnings and First Dates
ahhh the forwarning of bad things to come...don't like the sound of it not one bit. LOL ok hit me with your best shot woman..I can take it. I bought the industrial size box of tissues!!!

Hang on a sec.........sorry had to do a happy dance. A new story from you is cause for a celebration!!! Although, I have been loving People Like Us for so long it almost feels strange to read new characters lol. Love it so far and looking forward to next chapter
Author's Response:
Aaaw, Vickic, you are too sweet! Thanks so much for the happy dance and I know that it's strange - It's been wierd for me not to put PLU in to this story, but this Bella and Edward are finding their own voices, so it's getting easier. Next chapter up soon.
Date: 20 Dec 2011 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - MEET THE CULLEN'S
Oh dear, hes a bit of a rebel with a very protective streak...about to meet a pretty little thing with a serious chip on her shoulder and a bun in her oven. Emmett is gonna fold immediatly, Jasper not long after, but Edward he is going to make life difficult is he not? LOL loved this chapter, see ya next one
Date: 27 Dec 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - Are we there yet?
I am so happy to be visiting Hope Springs again. I hope they catch her before she gets too far. Poor girl, and Esme smack Edward and Jasper both upside the head ala Rose please!
Date: 02 Jan 2012 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Happy New year to you! Can I say that the most endearing thing so far is the way Edward talks to Rufuss and now Milo. I too treat my animals like they human and even above average mentally lol. Well except the pitbull mix, he is just plain dumb but very very loyal to his "mommy" lol. Bella is soooo skittish, have a feeling its going to take a while before she warms up to Edward and maybe even longer to the dog. Poor girl, something bad happened for her to be so scared of dogs. See ya next chapter, thanks so much for this one.
Date: 19 Jan 2012 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
oh wow this is going to be so hard for her, but under Esmes tutelage she will florish. Edward get your stuff together cause she is going to rock your safe little world.
Date: 19 Jan 2012 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6
she has a long row to hoe to start feeling safe. Glad to see Edward is not being quite the penis for brains as he was before. Good luck Cullen family I think you are in for some bumps in the road.
Date: 04 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9
I am heartbroken for her. The catalyst for her brave changes is no more and she is in a situation where she doesn't know how to act. Those Cullens are going to have a time calming her. Good luck Edward and family. Thank you for a well done chapter, I had a miscarriage at 20, I was putting the baby up for adoption and then I lost it. It hurt even tho I had no intentions of being its mother and I still think of it to this day.
Date: 16 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - TO SIR WITH LOVE?
Is it wrong of me that when Esme was chastising the girls and said "I think they have a long rocky road" I was so happy cause in my mind that means long rocky story that I get to enjoy!!!!! wonderful chapter the ending killed me tho...mean of you I think lol. See ya next chapter...soon right?
Date: 26 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - Time waits for no man (or woman)
oh Edward, can't you see...no matter what she does, she is all yours. Pull your head out of your ass son and be there for her because no matter how independent you are its still nice to know the one you love loves you back. Loved this chapter, glad she sent the angry letters to let him know his decision messed w/her. Most ppl would just throw them away. Thanks for this chapter Loved it and see ya next go around.
Date: 01 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - 'On the first day of Christmas...'
oh did i think it was going to be easy...no...did i want it to be easy...yes...but would we have such a rich storyline if it were easy...no...would i like some sexing...yes...ahhh shit i think i am more confuzzled than Bella right now. See ya next chapter, with Bells on and hoping Edwards brain and mouth can work together for a change hee hee.
Nice junk smackdown by the way
Date: 21 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 - What's all the fuss about?
sssiiiggghhhh...ah sweet relief, the ust is resolved. LOL I loved this chapter so much. These men love their woman with everything they have got and its a beautiful thing. We all know that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship, but these couples are damn close. Poor Bella, the emotions really got to her didn't they. It can be so overwhelming for one so young and to have had the life she had to turn around and be the object of such affection. On top of that to feel the power of what a good man can do to his woman, the way he can make her feel. Just loved this! Thanks for the wonderful scene and as always your phots make it perfect.

Date: 13 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25 - Moving on
I have only ever read you hear on the twcs so no worries on that front, but damn this modern day book burning sucks Emmetts hairy ball sack. I hate that it is coming to everyone leaving ff, going to blogs others sites, or just leaving the fandom altogether. Wont be able to keep up with everyone and have a feeling willbe losing some favs. SAd day that a couple of bored, no talent 15 yr olds can do this to all these wonderful intellegent, and talented women
Happier things...I love this chapter, so glad to see how happy they are, the dogs pov is hysterical, especially his nyah nyah at the cat. Seeing more drama heading their way, 'course it wouldn't be a Peoplelikeus story if there wasn't some juicy drama every once in a while. Looking forward to next chapter.
C ya then

the little snippets of family life...I hope the two adults see how special it can be. Yes they will have some adjustments to make, but as the darling daughter said "Wouldn't it be wort it?"
Date: 08 Mar 2014 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 24- I promise I'm worthy
I hope so, I really do. I really want to root for them. Got a lot of work to do to figure out where to go from here.
Date: 06 Oct 2014 Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 27- Change of plans
I hate that they had those 5 years apart, but maybe they needed to grow and mature so they could come together and make it right this time around. Obviously the passion is still there lol. Great chapter and I will happily wait for any and all future chapters. Some stories are just worth the wait.
Date: 09 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9- Family time
all the misunderstandings that led to this point are so painful to watch.
Bellas reaction to Rose was hysterical, and of course the boys reaction to that was too.
Date: 24 Aug 2012 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 13- The jet set life of my ex-husband
this story just breaks my heart, just a little communication would have saved them both a world of hurt. Nice to see that he is still hot for her tho lol.
Date: 06 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 14- Part of his world
oh god the miscommunication these two had, and if Alice had gone about things in a different way they might still be together...who knows. I am sad for them though. Really don't like Tonya either. lol
Date: 08 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 15- Fireworks
oh wow, easy peasy dump the dancer get your wife back. You want her, she wants you! lol
Date: 14 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 16- Confused
this story so owns me, It just seems to true to life. Makes me want to shake E/B and tell them to open their eyes and look at each other. Everyone knows it except them, and maybe Tanya is getting a clue. She is not a bad guy either just not the right one. His wife is the one!
Date: 01 Oct 2012 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 17- Confrontation
crying again lol, these two kill me with how much time they lost with the lack of communication and now how much they are going to have to work to get it all back.
Date: 21 Oct 2012 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 18- A long way to go
sigh...those two have a lot of work to do. Yet, they love each other so much it should be easy. (Here comes the mean girl in me) GO AWAY Tanya.

Congrats on baby! and on House! Thanks for not letting this go, it is a special story and I absolutley adore it. Best of luck with all!
Date: 20 Jun 2013 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 22- Terrified
Oh I have been missing this family! I am so glad to see Edward is realizing where he went wrong (I hope Bella is figuring it out to) This communications thing is going to have to start working for them. They are a lovely couple and their kids deserve a second chance to be a part of a family, just like Edward and Bella do.
Congrats on the new house and the baby girl, good luck with everything!
Date: 27 Feb 2014 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 23- The Date
Hope you are enjoying the heck outta that baby of yours! Of course I have missed this story very much but I would never ever begrudge someone dealing with real life on taking their time. So glad E and B are communicating again, its going to take some work but I think they can have their happy ever after in the long run...at least I hope.
Date: 11 Apr 2014 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 25- Our happy place

Enjoyed it very much, I do hope they enjoy their house, it sounds lovely
Bella Swan works as a nurse at Cook County Hospital in the ER. She's older and desperate for love. It's hindered by her shy personality and plump body. Her father, whom she lives with, teases her relentlessly for being fat and single.
Edward Cullen, thirty-three, is hired as a doctor in the ER. He's getting over a divorce. He moved to Chicago to be closer to his family: sister, Rosalie, and brother, Jasper. Rosalie is younger than Edward by ten years and is struggling with an eating disorder brought on by a heinous rape of her ex-boyfriend. Jasper, twenty-seven, is finishing up his doctorate in history.
Bella is charmed by this new doctor in the ER. He's kind and thinks about his patients and maintains a friendly rapport with the nurses and orderlies. Edward is intrigued by the sad nurse who does her job efficiently but doesn't have a sparkle in her eyes.
Will she allow Dr. Cullen into her life or will she let her insecurities get in the way of her happiness. Perhaps, Dr. Feelgood can write her a prescription. A prescription for love...
