still little bumps in the road here and there but they're working on it......

Montain - so glad you're still with me.  And I'm glad you're seeing the bigger picture of the story - they're getting there...

Such a strong emotional chapter. How Bella and Edward are talking about their pasts, it was freaking awesome. Ddsard seemed so casual about the fact that he had a past before Bella, before his Mate, but when he thought Bella had any experience at allll, he couldn't handle it. I don't know if that's just a mated vampire thing, but a man thing. Lol. Loved the visuals of how tense Edward was, breaking the furniture! How he was furious actually had me stomach flipping around in a good way. Pulling her through the rain. Bella being furious, but even though she took off, he kept the running pace, grabbed her in that garage, and convinced her how much he cares, and he's powerless against these mated hormones! So much love it makes my heart leap. Perfect! Can't wait for more. Bella cares, or she would have gotten rid of that mark...hmmm!

Author's Response:

Randy - again, LOVE your notes.  Thank you.  Yes, I loved when he was breaking the furniture as well.  And I thought they both treated each other poorly here - both trying to navigate around their faults without losing it :)  Good lessons for down the road. 

PS - I checked out your profile - when are you going to be publishing this 700page doc you said you wrote?  Would love to read when you do...

Loved the chase!1

So nothing too deep in this review, just that I continue to enjoy this story and look forward to the next chapter. 

Author's Response:

Deepness not required.  Just love to know you enjoyed it. :)  Take care.

I think the drama will not start as they come across these women. Tanya ring a bell? Oh yes and Bree? only she was short lived romance.

Author's Response:

I've actually written an outtake with Bree and Edward - but then I realized it painted Edward in too harsh a light and I didn't want it to ruin his character with Bella.  I'm just sick and twisted that way :)

Thank you!

Love it! :) Possessive Edward is so much fun!

Author's Response:

He is definitely fun to write! :)  Thanks for the note.

Im loving this story and eager to know more about Bella's back story! Thanks for posting this lovely chapter and I look forward to reading more when you are next able to post :)

This story is so hot... all without sexin'! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Dang, I'm so glad you said that.  Because the sexin is coming - hope people can hang in there.  But it does take a few chapters to build up to that sweet burn :)

squee!!!  Your end authors note make me so happy!!! love love love !!!

Wonderful as always.

Rachael, with each chapter, I fall more in love with your story. This chapter was full of sweetness and discovery between these two; and it was beautiful. It's so endearing that they are finding more things to like about each other. And I can't tell you how much I adore the quotes you give us from so many classics. I'm really looking forward to finding out what happens in Seattle. You have me totally hooked.  Btw, I was so excited to see your story rec'd in EE's group on FB; and then she told me she was your beta. Our fandom is a small world after all, isn't it? I have been telling all my friends to come read this. I'm sure they will love it as much as I do.  I didn't realize you had it posted on FFnet, but I enjoy reading it here. It's nice to have a change of scenery sometimes. Thanks for the great update.

Author's Response:

Soph - I'm so glad you liked the chapter.  I was slightly nervous it would be boring after all the angst ones behind it.  And you know EE!  She's so great.  I could not find a beta for my story to save my life - and she took me on purely on the recommend from another author.  I so appreciate her. 

You're so sweet with your reviews.  They always make my day.  Have a lovely week,
