Bio:
I am a "Mature" woman who admittedly is obsessed with Robert Pattinson and The Twilight Saga much to the chagrin of my family. Thankfully, they let me indulge in my favorite past time of reading twilight fan fiction stories.
I would love to be able to write like all these wonderful authors but haven't had enough talent or confidence to write. Maybe one day but for now, happy just to have the opportunity to read these incredible stories!
thanks to christagbanners.blogspot.com
Renee is cutting Bella off. Bella needs money and Edward has a lot of it, but Bella gets more than she expected. Can she handle it or will it be too much? lots of fluff and lemons consentual spankings. R&R

Yes, it was early. Yes, she's young but after all the confessing & divulging Edward did, I'd say yes too. His proposal was so romantic. **sigh**
Date: 15 Sep 2011 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Marry Me? Has to be Bella!
Nice labor - lucky girl!
Date: 04 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23
I'm a little confused.....maybe I have to start at the beginning.
Why would Bella move out of Edwards home & into Carlisle's? I thought she was living with Edward.
So....because Bella is afraid of being herself & if she gets "out of line" around Carlisle, he will spank her.....she's breaking up with Edward?
Edward, at 35, is still afraid of Carlisle and his so called power/control that he's willing to give Bella up?
Guess, for me, it's a bit farfetched. However, it's fiction so I'll go with it.
Hope Edward grows some....it would be sad to have your parent control you for so long. I could understand I'd Edward was financially dependent on Carlisle,but he's not, right?
Hmmm...guess time will tell the measure of a man!
Date: 09 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Well thank goodness! I knew Edward had it in him!!
Good job....just hope Edwards promise won't be tested!
Date: 26 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Uh oh.....someone is in trouble! Sorry, but Bella was wrong and now here are consequences. She's darn lucky Carlisle wasn't called!
Date: 15 May 2011 Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Oh Edward......I really hope you don't screw up.
Carlisle is a bit much.....sorry, but his control over his boys at this stage in their lives is bull. Like Bella said, Carlisle doesn't control them nor are they dependent on him to survive. I think it's just fear that keeps them scared of Carlisle. Hope it's not a make or break!
Date: 25 May 2011 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Finally is right. Carlisle was testing Edward & now he knows!
Date: 30 May 2011 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30
Good job! Understand totally why Edward is pissed. He was played the fool!
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31
Loved the lemons but how does Edward feel about his baby having a baby? All the signs are there....just saying!
Date: 17 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33
Maybe I should feel sorry for Edward but I don't. He messed up......and now he's got to pay for it. I know they still love each other and they will now have a child together but what Edward did was almost unforgivable. He doubted her.....1% is 1%. There was still a chance buthe chose to accuse her of cheating. I know all about percentages...I've been in the lower ones but miracles happen.
Great chapter....thanks fir not leaving us with a "is he or isn't he" when we knew he was!
Date: 21 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34
He's trying but he needs to try harder but in a softer way. He knows he was wrong, an ass, etc. He needs to back off with the intensity, let her know she's still "it" for him but now he has to woo her.
I hope they can work it out sooner rather than later...and definitely well before baby is born.
Post soon!!
Date: 28 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 35
It's enough.....now Bella has to talk to Edward & they need to try together. No promises or assumptions but I definitely think she should let Edward in, maybe move back in together but give it a try. They are both miserable without each other and at this point, Bella is just being stubborn.
Have a great vacay with family but know we are all anxiously waiting the next chapter!!
Date: 15 Jul 2011 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36
Ok....going to blame it on the hormones. Bella is all over the place. She needs to stop! She's so intent on being independent & not relying on anyone that she's losing sight of the big picture; people help because they love her, not because they think she can't do it alone. Good thing Edward is just as stubborn. A lesser man would have left!
Date: 25 Jul 2011 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37
Talk to Edward, go to dinner, let Edward decide if he wants to go and stop being so stubborn!

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!

Sounds like Bella is acting out instead of grieving....denial maybe?
Great beginning....
Date: 08 Jul 2011 Title: Chapter 2: My Girl
My Girl was such a good movie.
So far, I'm not seeing the drama. I get that Bella is in denial & trying to cope the best way she knows how. I hope Jake doesn't become a problem. Sounds like a familiar theme; Jake likes Bella more than a friend & is jealous that Edward is back in the picture while Bella is a bit clueless regarding both of them.
Date: 16 Jul 2011 Title: Chapter 3: A Rash Decision
I feel bad for Edward and for Bella. She's spiraling out of control & I'm hoping Edward is strong enough to stop her. Only the scum of the earth takes advantage of an obviously distraught & disturbed girl. No matter if Jake has "real" feelings for Bella. He shouldn't have done it!
Good chapter....have a feeling it's going to get rough before, I hope, it gets better!
Date: 23 Jul 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Things Fall Apart

Nice forward movement but I am concerned about what Carlisle said about college apps & house of cards. Honesty....fast!
Edward & Bella are BFA's in an acting program about to start work on their new show when they get the shock of their careers, they're both cast in roles that are the opposite sex. But through all the drama surrounding the show Edward and Bella find each other.

Constructive critisim is good, bashing is not.
I thought all the chapters were good ones. Even the one when she says good bye. I got it. She had no choice and I'd have done the same.
So.....what are the words?? Guess I gotta reread!

Oh my.....I'm torn on what should happen. On one hand, I believe in truth & honesty but on the other hand, will the truth hurt more than its worth?
i think if the bet does come out, it should be between Edward & Bella first. Edward should come clean to Bella.
Nerdy, studious Bella has a boyfriend... but nobody believes her. They all think she made him up, and give her hell for it. Then, Edward is made aware of the situation...

Ooh!! That was amazing!!! I love it!!
Tried to respond to your response to my comment on Uprising but it didn't take. Tried to send you a message but it didnt work so....
Thank you for your kind words! I really loved Uprising & I agree.....its like the bad boy/good girl attraction in reverse. If you read her early i/v's, she sounds so fake. Like 'oh my....I never wanted all this fame. I just want to do what I love" and hides by saying she's shy!
I don't think she has a lot of parental influence. I'm just old fashioned, too old, ugly but still hold out hope that one day he'll be on one of my flights or I'll get a seat next to him and I can chat. Can you imagine? 38,000 feet in the air on a metal tube?? Gah!
Oh well....that's why I loved Louise....hope springs eternal!
Both stories were amazing.
This one was so sweet!! Glad Bella just stayed true to herself! No need to prove anything to anyone & Edward saw that!!
Thanks again!
Author's Response:
Too bad she's not any good at doing what she loves. Every movie, it's the same cadence to her voice, the same mannerisms... that's not acting. That's just reading lines as yourself. No range whatsoever.
I'm glad you liked my little one-shot. Sometimes a song just triggers something.
Bella and Edward used to be close, but after life pushed them apart they wound up on opposite sides of their group of friends. Can a trip to the most magical place on earth change that?

Uh oh....James is trouble. Listen to your gut, King Edward! I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Aro is using James as insurance in case Edward fails to follow through. Admirable that Edward wants what is best but I'm thinking he'd be better off telling Bella the truth about his uncles so that they can better prepare.
Great chapter.
Author's Response:
Of course he's be better off, but what a story that would be...thank you for the review, and i hope you like the tease:
“I know, love. I do too. Alice is the only one who believes in me completely. Even her father eyes me cautiously from time to time before he thinks better of it.” Edward’s eyes fell to the bedding before Isabella could tilt his head up.
“I believe in you too, husband. They just don’t know you like we do.”
A loud commotion outside the door broke their private moment as Edward reached for his sword. The rumbling continued until the door opened to reveal Alice and Carlisle, with General Whitlock standing by the remainder of the guard.
“Alice?” Edward and Isabella shouted as the sword dropped from his hand.
Alice flew to Isabella’s side, hugging her tightly as Carlisle moved to Edward. The General entered the room, staying back as the doors closed to allow the private moment.
“Lady Alice, I should throw you in the Tower for worrying me so,” Isabella threatened through her tears.
“Is something wrong with the Queen?” Carlisle asked as the women chattered away.
“She was heartsick for her friend; we both were, if truth be told. Alice is a dear friend to me as well with how she has always treated me fairly,” Edward admitted, letting his eyes glance in the direction of Jasper.
“Well then it seems I discovered the balm for her soul just in time. "

I fear for Edward. He will be unfairly implicated. He needs to come clean to his queen & hope she believes him and will sand by him.
Author's Response:
If he went to her he could save them all a ton of heartache, but alas he's too young and headstrong to believe he can't protect her. Here's the teaser:
As the final touches were put on the holiday decorations adorning every surface in the castle, the keening wails of the former Count of Eastbury could be heard in every inch of the Tower and the dungeons below. His fate was quickly sealed by the evidence against him and his silence when asked any type of questions by the Duke of Blacklake, who was asked to preside over the matter by the Queen.
His execution was stayed until the New Year, giving Edward a chance to get his answers on one evening while his wife was in council. Slipping into the Tower, he entered Stefan’s cell, looming over the man’s sleeping form. Putting a hand over his mouth, Edward shook him awake, seeing at once the terror in his eyes.

I knew there was something fishy about James & Victoria. Just hope there's enough evidence to clear Edward & condemn those who are really guilty.
Great job!

The calm before the storm, eh?
Good bridge!
Author's Response:
Definitely, but the winds are already starting to pick up. Sorry this is so late, but here is the tease.
The spirit of the festival flowed nicely into the Christmas preparations, which had Lady Alice running around trying to get everything underway. Isabella had informed her that the Christmas Eve feast would be when they revealed her pregnancy to the nobility and that gave Alice another reason to make it spectacular.
Going out into the city, Alice had children making dried berry garlands to be wrapped around fresh greens, the butchers and anglers were being pushed to provide the best they could for the feast. Every detail was being discussed with the King and Queen, who were happy to see that she was being creative in not only how she was involving those who lived in the capital, but also her use of the funds she had.
As December slowly started to fade, the choices of the nobles about where they would spend the holidays were starting to become known. Younger nobles like Michael of Newton and Tyler of Crowley would be staying at Court because the women they were hoping to marry in the New Year were still in the service of the Queen.
Meanwhile, the Barons were some of the first to make the trip home, but not before taking the leave of their Monarchs.

I'm scared!! The Blacks have Bella's back but to harm the "weed", whom I'm assuming is Edward is not right. Same goes for the others.
Hope Edward comes clean to Isabella. Knowledge is power and if they have any hope of surviving...in all ways...they must be 100% honest & open with each other. Lack of trust is the first brek in the crumbling of a marriage & a monarchy.

You're very right, but that is a lesson he will unfortunately learn the hard way...until tomorrow, here's your tease:
Various members of the Court were present as Emmett of Cullen knelt before the Queen as a man of no lands or title and rose as the Count of Eastbury. Once the ceremony is complete, Emmett entered the council meeting to lay out his plan. Peerages in the south held nothing more than small farms meant to sustain the family living there would be given the same aid they had been. Meanwhile, the manor houses would be aided in better running of the land they set to farming so that they could hope to feed their people better. Any excess of a particular type of crop would be sent on to the capital for the distribution throughout the country and any peerage that had a surplus, as the northern lands usually did, would be properly compensated.
With the better techniques outlined for distribution to those who ran larger farms and the plan for the parceling off of the food produced, the Count planned to depart for his new county the following morn so that he might set up house and begin to learn about the mines which were his peerage’s main contribution to the country’s economy.

Great chapter - Riley, huh? Didn't see that. MAy have to reread to refresh my memory
"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?"

Read this on the plane & wanted to review but the wifi conked out!
EXCELLENT chapter!! I know what a hard decision it was for Edward to leave but he had to. He recognized his inability to control himself around Bella & was afraid he'd lose himself to his addictions in order to counteract his feelings for her.
Loved how Emmett picked up on Edward calling Bella "love" & "baby". Talk about subliminal!! I'm sure Edward doesn't realize it although I think Bella does but doesn't say anything because she likes it. She's had no love that she can remember so she's embracing it.
Thank you for not dragging the separation out. A chapter or so is fine! I think Bella is more receptive to a relationship with Edward than he is with her. Bella is wise beyond her years & while I believe she will accomplish everything she sets out tone and still enjoy a love life with Edward....he will need more convincing. Mainly, I think, because of the age difference.
Again - fantastic read!

Aaarrggghhhh.....sometimes I just want to smack Edward upside the head! He loves her....she definitely feels something love like for him. Yes, she's young. Yes, he's older & more experienced but.....they've both been through so much.
I think they just need to talk, lay it on the line, no more b.s. or tiptoeing around. Has Edward even thought that maybe Bella is fine with what she's doing and doesn't need to "spread her wings"?
I love when you update. Their UST is unbelievable! I have to make sure I'm alone when I read this. The squirming would surely give me away!!
Oh...how you handled the E & R was great. Very realistic -
I agree...educate so you can be pro active!

Prof Ahole is right. Glad B has friends that notice. Extra eyes always help!
Great chapter & I love how they love!! Talk to me anytime!
Date: 01 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - "All I want for Christmas is you..."
You cruel, cruel woman....leaving us hanging like that! **smile**
That just means the next chapter will be one huge lemon ball, right?
Thank goodness they talked! Yes, there are no guarantees in life but communication is key!
Great job...I hate games!
Sorry about the car....hope it all works out!
Date: 12 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - Lessons and Lessons
I've been waiting and waiting for the update and you didn't disappoint!
I loved how cute and innocent Bella was when she asked if they could go to bed and cracked up when she thought Edward named his penis Prince Albert!
The Brit Professor needs to get lost. No fraternizing with your students sir!
So....next chapter, huh?? Don't worry, I'm sure vanilla will be just fine...maybe add a little sprinkles if you're so inclined!
I LOVE this story!! Cannot wait for the next update!
**sigh**. Something about this Edward makes me wet...I mean weak ;) at the knees!

Although Jasper may have not had the perfect timing, it needed to be done!
Loved Carlisle!
Poor Edward - frozen dick?? I wanted more umphhh! I think their attraction may escalate sooner than later, I hope!
Great chapter!
Date: 01 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Really?? Huge ass chapter would be exactly what I'd want!!
I'm assuming miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy? I feel bad 'cause I think Bella will be embarrassed & afraid they won't want her there after they find out. But.....then again, this baby, while innocent, wasn't wanted & essentially a product of rape.
Great chapter!

Jay - you are so greedy! Always wanting more - I love it! Thanks so much for your review and your very valuable comments. Next chapter out over weekend.

OMG is right. Edward better start talking Fast!! Have they learned nothing after all this time apart?
Fantastic job! I cannot wait to read more!
Date: 29 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED!
My favorite story!!
Loved it! So sad when Bella tells him she won't ever have children because of the lack of a mother figure. Little does she know that she already has them with Esme, Alice & Rose! She just needs time.
Drunk Bella is funny! So glad Edward loves her so much. Outing his PA to his brothers & his sister in laws wanting to see it? Hysterical. Damn....wish I could convince DH to get one. Yeah....no way in hell I was told! Old dogs...no new tricks!
Great chapter!!
Date: 18 May 2012 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 - Easter Eggs and New Faces
Loved it. Glad Edward gave her the space & time to get where she needed to get to.
Hope all is right with you! Great chapter!
Date: 22 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - First dates and Ice skates
Oh my.....that was precious! Poor red faced Bella! My goodness....great restraint Edward!
We "Jill off" and guys "jack off", "pet the kitty/pussy", etc.
The talk with the girls was just what Bella needed and I think it out into perspective, for all, that Bella was never 18. She's lived a life so scarred that she knows what she wants and it's Edward. Now we have to get Edward to realize that as well.
Excellent as always!
Date: 10 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - New Beginnings and First Dates
Amazing!! I love the 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I think Edward is pretty confident on his feelings for Bella & is slowly accepting them but knows he's in it for a wait. Bella is still scared & skittish but may be slowly thawing. It's hard to trust when you've never been able to trust before.
Tyler? Better hope he never shows his face around there!
Yes, the course of true love doesn't run smoothly but maybe a little sweet & sour to keep the UST strong? I'd love to see a little peep/ fantasy on Edwards part. You know EPOV's are my favorite!
Great chapter - love Roscoe & Edward calling her "love". Do either of the hear it?
Author's Response:
Aww Jay - Let me see what I can do to give you a little of that "Edward" loving!! thanks for the comments and review and there has to be a little bit of pain to balance out the pleasure right? Just hold on to that thought over the next couple of chapters...
Love,
M
