is it all BPOV?..lol..i love Bella!..i hope she picks up with Edward soon!..i'm pretty late the the story, so i'm sure by the time i'm caught up they will have!..:D

Oh My Edward!! I think I need a Cigarette!! That was AWESOME!!! I Loved the part about the beer, Very creative, very Funny!

Thank you for updating! I have been patiently checking everyday for an update, It was Well Worth the Wait!! Wonderful Job!!!

Author's Response:

I'm soooo glad you enjoyed the update!  Credit for the beer idea goes to my beta, iadorepugs - she suggested that maybe they should have a reason to have to get out of their shirts, and I just ran with it.  That was very, very fun to write.

Chapter 18 - or what I like to call the morning after - should post within the next week, depending on how bogged down my Twilighted beta is.  I always look forward to hearing from you, and can't wait to hear what you think of weekend as a whole.

Thanks again, so much, for taking the time to read and review - it totally makes my day!

Author's Response:

Thank you for risking embarassment to tell me what you think - LOL!  I'm glad that it worked for you, because I was soooo nervous to post it!!

Chapter 18 should go up in the next week - I hope you'll let me know what you think of the morning after... :)

I was already holding back tears in chapter 2.

Great Story so far :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment.  I hope to hear from you on future chapters as well :)

You've done it again....what you ask??  Well I'll tell you.  As you know, I already read this on FF, but because I'm EXTREMELY jealous of Bella and just a plain ole perverted old lady (haha), I had to read it again here.... After careful, and I mean careful, debate I decided that reading chapters multiple times are almost as good as multiple orgasms........OK, I'm a freakin liar but I really really need to find me one of these guys!!!  ;D   Absolutely can not wait for more!!!  You are my hero and I love how you appreciate your readers by actually responding to your readers who review.  Wish more authors responded to reviews as faithfully as you have!!  Thanx for that and an awesome story.

Author's Response:

Well from one perverted old lady to another - you are sooooooo welcome.  Couldn't do it without your wonderful feedback week after week, even when I was irritating you with the interruptions and drama :)  I cannot begin to express how much it means to me when I hear from you after every update.  You're the best, and I thank you yet again!!!

Sarah's and Will's reactions were pretty spot-on to the feelings of kids their ages.  I remember feeling like a third wheel, or in-the-way when my mom had a boyfriend around.  She always hid the hickeys though.  LOLOL!

So...getting coffee for Edward is HOT!  I like that you write about Edward cussing, but you don't have to use the actual word for it to be effective.  The bodice-ripper-romance descriptions were lol funny, too. 

I think I'd go out of my mind if I were Bella...so much time away from Edward!  I guess she's busy readying the bookstore, but even I miss him between chapters!  And he hasn't even kissed me!

Yet.

Muahahahaha!

Thanks, as ever, for sharing!  I'm still a chapter behind but my eyes keep falling shut so I'll have to read 16 in the morning.  (Instead of working!)

Author's Response:

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on the chapters as you go along.  It helps me to keep the entire story in focus, and not just the current chapter du'jour.

Glad the kids' reactions come across as real - trying to keep it realistic, and it's always good to hear that it reads that way.

Coffee -- or really ANYTHING -- with Edward is definitely hot. The bodice-ripper romance stuff came from a very silly, very late night on FB with my beta - that could have gone on for PAGES!!

So much more coming up... can't wait to hear what you think of 16...  and 17 when it posts (hopefully this weekend!)

Thanks again for your continuing support!

I prefer stories from single points of view (I really detest "repeat" chapters in other PsOV.  I have actually stopped reading stories because of them.) 
But outtakes from Edward after would be cool! 

So Heidi left Felix, married Edward and went back to Felix?!  Now that is quite original!  (What kind of fuel do you feed your brain?!)  Edward definitely has a reason to feel wary of women now, and yet he's attentive and affectionate with Bella so we know he trusts her.  And she does seem like a trust-worthy woman.  Especially now that we understand her attempt at forgiveness and friendship with Jacob.

I like your Jacob, btw.  He's clueless in a Typical Guy sort of way, but he doesn't seem like an ass.  And he takes care of the kids a lot, especially for a guy with a hot young piece at home.  I shouldn't call Renesmee a piece, 'cause she's pretty cool herself.  But still!

Okay, I have another chapter to read!  I'm having so much fun tonight!  Thanks so much for sharing! 

Author's Response:

I also am a one POV kinda girl - nothing confuses me more than jumping from one person to the next.  I'm glad the idea of Edward outtakes is appealing to you - several of them are already in the works.

I'm not sure what I feed my brain, but I was going for something unique, something that would make it so not all the drama was Bella's.  He's definintely got some scars from his relationship with Heidi that he still needs to work through.

Glad you like my Jacob.  He's always such a great friend to Bella in the books, I didn't want to lose that.  Just my little way of paying homage to their friendship.  He's not supposed to be an asshole here.

Thanks again for continuing to let me know your thoughts - I really appreciate it.

Oh how I love this story.  I love that they are adults with adults lives, with adult issues and problems.

Thank you for making Bella more 'real'  For not making her perfect with a perfect body.  I love that she has flaws and is concerned about how she looks.

And if it even possible, I fell more in love with Edward when he was describing how and why he finds Bella attactive.  Real men like curves!! ;)

(I'm not even going to tell you how many times I read this.  Too many to count.)

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for reading & commenting - I always love getting your feedback!  I'm glad you enjoyed the update.  It makes me so happy when I hear that you find Bella real - that's exactly what I'm working so hard at, and it means so much to me to know that she comes across that way.  And Edward... yeah, I think we all need one of those at home!

 

Rereading?  Best compliment I can get!!!

 

Next chapter should hopefully post this weekend - I hope you'll let me know what you think of it when it does.  Thanks so much for your continued support!>

"Desire that had lain dormant exploded through my body, which I willingly ceded his to command and control."

Whoa-ho-ho.  <shudder> 

Your Bella and Edward are so nicely canon but fo' sho' they are aaall grown up.

What a nice party, and what a spark-filled kiss session!  It sizzles but nothing about if feels "dirty," you know?  It's the mark of a mature writer; you rely on your descriptions and experience, rather than shock value.

I loved the text message treasure hunt, too.  That was just as sweet and sexy as Edward's attentiveness and Bella's whispers.

Okay, I have another chapter to go!  If only these blockheads at work will leave me alone for a few minutes!

Thanks so much for sharing!  I love your story and your talents certainly merit every accolade you receive.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your sweet words - your praise makes me blush :)  I'm just as pleased as punch that you are enjoying my story!

All of New Year's Eve was so much fun to write.  I hope that you are enjoying the buildup... there are certainly going to be more citrusy chapters coming up, and I hope that they meet with your approval as well.

I really appreciate your continued support.  Thanks for reading!!

I just love Edward so very much.....This Edward is a smooth talker.  Ii am glad that Bella stood up for herself with the waitress.  She deserved it and i am very glad that Edward took the time to make her feel better about herself because so many women who are older are so self conscious about their bodies.  I am really looking forward to their time together.  I hope that you won't make us wait too long.  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE SEXY EDWARD READING.  Sherri

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for reading & commenting - I love getting your feedback!  And you're quite welcome - I'm glad you enjoyed the update!  Confident Bella at the bar was fun to write... as was sexy Edward at home ;)  I think we all need an Edward in our lives to make us feel attractive and sexy!

 

Next chapter should hopefully post this weekend - I hope you'll let me know what you think of it when it does.  Thanks so much for your support!>
