Hi Paige ~ Just read your latest chapter.  "Have I mentioned  that Alice is a devious, manpulative little liar."   What a great line, one of the funniest I've read in a while.  And of course you do realize I've already offered Edward a job at the firm there, right?  Love that man's drawl and loved the chapter!

Oh and my niece and I were talking the other day.  She has informed me, very lovingly I might add,  that I am much too old to fully appreciated the primal need to read an over abundance of smut in lust filled fanfiction chapters.  I reminded her of the smut/angst conversation on the thread a while back and she pointed out that what the readers post and what they read are not always the same thing.  But the point is forget what I said the other day about readers liking angst....it seems I was wrong.  I know ::GASP:: right?

Wait. So are you saying I need to write more smut or less? Cause the genereal consensus on the last chapter seems to be that I'm mean and they better get to it on the next chapter. =D

Personally, I like to mix the smut and angst. My best lemons usually take place unexpectedly after a fight or a serious stress of some kind in their relationship. Of course, just pure, joyful, because-it-feels-so-damn-good sex works for me, too. I;m not that picky.

I really like the fact that you made Bella a chef! It made me think ehy nobody thought of that before!!

Fanfic writers always associate her with any profession to do with her love for books so I've seen librarians, teachers, writers but never a chef!

So simple and creative. I also like the fact that your Bella is not a loser. She is fairly shy but successful and confident at the same time.

Now, Southern Gentleman Edward.......... oh please why don'y you just shoot me?

Gosh, I will never look at sugar the same way again!

Thanks! As you can see, I am really enjoying your story!

All the best,

Monique

Ha! Love your reviews, Monique! Nina named my Edward Southerncomfortward. I love that--so smooth, so sweet, so liable to make you do things you wouldn't ordinarily do!

I loved what you said about Bella being shy but still successful and confident. That's what I was hoping was coming across--I don't want her to be this ball-breaking badass. She's a successful grown woman, not an insecure teenager. And chef seemed like a natural job for her with her constant cooking in the books.

More on the way ASAP. Thanks for taking time to review!

Paige

Oh sweetie I am so jealous of you! I am in the midwest right now! I have almost 3 years left on my Air Force contract before I can return to my home! Omaha freaking Nebraska! I would do almost anything to hear a southern drawl right now! The south is so beautiful! Outside of nearly every big city is country side that can take your breath away. Almost everyone is nice in the south almost through an unconcious effort. Even when your new there is almost always someone there to extend a hand! What part of Florida are you going to be moving to??? The south is almost like a different country. I so miss the weather, although humid, a good southern summer night under the stars is like nothing else in the world! Things aren't too expensive there either! I hope some of this helps. Goodluck with your move!

About the last chapter it was great! I can't wait to read more. Will Edward meet Sam?! That would be so intense. I hope Bella stops being so wishy washy.

Just wanted to let you know I am so enjoying your reviews! We're actually moving to Orlando, FL. It's so different than other parts of the South because of the theme parks and tourist attractions. I'm really torn about moving there but we need to in order to be near family and for my husband's job, so I'm doing my best to get excited. Mainly I'm living in my head with Southerncomfortward on a warm sultry summer night on the beach...

As for the story (that's what I should be talking about) Edward is going to meet Sam. It'll be...interesting. We'll see a new side of Edward. As for Bella, she's a grown-up and used to being mature and responsible. It just takes her a little time give herself permission to forget sensible and go with sensual. A very little time! =D

Awww, I'm in love with your Southern Gentleman Edward! So cute.

Okay, so best things about the south (or at least where I'm from) the FOOD tastes much better here. *nods*

HAHa! What an interesting theory about Imprinting! Wow he didn't handle that well at all. Reminds me of a guy who cheated on me once....not only me though. The girl he cheated on me with had a twin. He couldn't stop with just one! They didn't even know and when they did it wasn't even me I felt bad for anymore! Back to Bella....I love how she handled that encounter with Sam.

rude!  i was so excited for a minute.

post more soon.

since I'm a good southern girl I'm likeing good southern boy edward.  He and bella are so sweet together!

Sounds like some of your reviewers are fuddy duddies!! That's the whole point of letting go on a vacation like that. (of course what you said about safety and all and single) But really that's how it is and how it should be and if it works out (which I'm desperate for it to) Then it will work out. Oh and just so you know. I have no trouble imagining Edward with a southern twang! Gues it's cause I'm a southern girl myself! I absolutely love Bella tellin Em to go away! I always love that side of her though.

Sam does sound like a worthless excuse for a man!!!

I really liked EPOV.... it was funny and exciting! Nothing hotter than Edward talking dirrrrty! yummy!!!! :-D

Dang, I so hoped Edward would have called or sent flowers or something by the time she got home.

I absolutely love the way that Jasper is in on Alice's little plots! Emmett is going to have a duck fit!
