Author's Response:

Yep, every time I go out with my single friends, I come home to the hubs and thank the gods that I'm not out in that scene any more.  Glad to hear that you like what you're reading!

I loved how much work and research Angela and Bella are putting into this business.

I can't ever get enough of Edward and Bella together.  I mean, nothing has happened and I am just too excited.

I really liked the description of the space and designs.  I am a very visual person -- Do you have any pics of the cafe/bookstore that they are developing?  Just wondering - if you did would you be able to share them with us.  Thanks!!

Can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

I actually haven't put anything down on paper except the descriptions for A New Page, but I will see what I can do (well, what my husband, the artistic one, can do).  I'll let you know wha I come up with - thanks for the idea.

 

And thanks so much for reading & letting me know your thoughts.  I'm having so much fun writing this story, and it means the world to me that you are enjoying it right along with me!

Great job showing what  her weekend alone was like for her.

Author's Response:

Thanks for saying that - it means a lot to know that what I'm trying to convey does come across!  Your feedback means so much to me!

Wow great chapter!!!!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much - it was a blast to write, and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it!

Bella needs to get laid and what a better time than during a celebration!!!  LOL

Author's Response:

LOL indeed - your comment certainly made me laugh!  Yeah, Bella's a little tense - too much time in her own head over the past several years, not enough time to just be herself and be free.

 

Thanks for continuing to comment & let me know your thoughts.  I really appreciate it!

Another great chapter I'm so glad to have another chappie with Edward in it....

Author's Response:

Any chapter with Edward is a good chapter, in my opinion!  And Bella agrees wholeheartedly - there's just something about that man... :)

Awww, Eddie blushes.... Can't wait for more!!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for reading & commenting.  I have to say, I love the idea of a blushing Edward...

I appreciate your continued support of my story.  Hope to hear from you again after the next chapter goes up this weekend!  Thanks again!

this sounds very interesting . more soon please

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment.  I'm on a weekly update schedule, so make sure you've got the story on alert if you want to see what happens.  I hope you'll continue to let me know your thoughts as the story progresses.  Thanks again!

This is a five chapter review since I just found this story and read it straight through - I like your Bella - she is real, someone who stayed in a comfortable, unfulfilling relationship for far too long.  Luckily with a friend like Rosalie once she had that divorce overwith - she was pushed into living again.

Looking forward to learning what Edward's issues are and seeing where they go together.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment - it really means a lot to me.

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying my story and my characters.  I'm trying really hard to write "real" and I'm glad that it reads that way as well. 

I'm looking forward to sharing the story with you, and hope that you enjoy what you read and continue to let me know what you think.  Thanks again for reading & reviewing!!

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Thanks for reading & commenting - I love that you're anxious for the next chapter!  It's my intention to update every weekend, so make sure you've got the story on alert if you want to read more!

 

Thanks again for your feedback - it means the world to me!

i really look forward to more and i can relate to bella and sarah as i have 3 teenge girls ...extreme handfull

Author's Response:

Three teenage girls?  you must be a saint!  Now I know who to go to for Bella/Sarah story advice, don't I? ;) 

I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know that you're liking the story, and that you feel you can relate to Bella.  It helps to know that she's reading "true" and that she's relatable.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with me as I share my story with you :)

This was not a filler chapter!  It was great!  We have to watch Bella grow and learn to be alone before she can get into another relationship.  It helps the reader to get inside her head. I loved it.

Take care and update soon!

P.S. I didn't think I would lreally ike this story when I started but I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm really enjoying watching Bella grow.

Author's Response:

I can't tell you how much it means to me to know that you've stuck it out and are starting to enjoy my story, even though it didn't grab you at first.  It's a slow build, and I know that's not for everyone, but I've got to be true to my characters.  It makes me all smiley to hear that you're enjoying the progression

I really appreciate you continuing to take the time to offer feedback and comments on my chapters - I really value your input.  Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know how it's reading!  You're the best!!

I like that your Bella is older and doesn't have a perfect body.  I can relate to her!  It'll be fun to see how Edward influences her confidence and sensuality. 

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your comments!  I'm glad to know that you find Bella relatable - even though I'm writing fiction, I want it to be real, something that people can identify with, and it thrills me to hear that it reads that way.

Yeah, Edward may just have a little influence on our girl... can't wait to share more!  I hope you'll hang around to read - thanks again for reading and reviewing!
