awww i have spent all day reading this story since 5:00 it is now 11:17 this is the best j/b story i have read and it was so sweet finally he imprinted on her whooo i hope they have kids i am usually anti kid in fanfiction stories but in this story it just seems right :)

I enjoyed this story very much and am looking forward to the epilogues.  I especially love the pic at the end of Ch. 32.  Very touching!  Thanks for sharing your fic with us.

Beautiful. R.I.P. Embry. I'm a huge Jacob/Bella fan but so often people just discount the way Bella feels for Edward. You are right he is an important part of her heart and her life. You handled the story beautifully.

A very nice chapter, and a very nice ending to a sweet yet emotional story. I felt it got better as the chapters progressed, and this would absolutely be one of my favourite chapters in your story. Both Bella and Jacob were believable, most of the time, but nothing's perfect, and never will be... although I am certain others would beg to differ. ;)

All in all, thank you for a lovely story, filled with all the elements one might look for when wanting to escape reality for a while.

A cookie for you! :)

That was a fantastic chapter. I just need to stop tearing up now so that my boss doesn't suspect anything. (All the paperwork is filed so what else do they expect me to do?)

Liked the nice, human moments here after all the excitement.  Love your liberal Billy.  I remember when my husband and I first lived together before marriage - I wasn't even sure my mother would come to visit.  It was hard for her to accept that sexual things might be going on without a wedding - even though I was not a kid by a long shot at that time.

Lovely lemon meringue pie with all the swirly flourishes on top - took my breath away.  Love your art choices as always.  And the character of Alice is one of my favorites - you have captured her so well; I'd love to have her as a best friend (except she needs to stay out of my closet where there are NO designer anythings).

There's the angry Jake that I have come to know in fanfiction - lost all that maturity when the Cullen's showed up! The "take a shower" ending really cracked me up - great humor after all that angst.

Another cliff-hanger.  Sure am glad that I am reading this after you have the next chapters already posted.  Got a great laugh as Bella slopped her tea on her lap saying, “I’m getting used to having random werewolf visitors.” Like your including more tribal lore.  Appreciate your Jake who is confident enough in himself to let Bella be her own person and make her own decisions - so many stories show him angry and controlling.    Also liked Bella saying, "I can’t just sit on the sidelines while you all risk your tails," Jacob snorted quietly, "protecting me.”

Favorite line:  "It’s kind of funny…I always had this one great friend I could confide in when I had a problem, but now the problems are with him, so it’s hard.”

Unbelievably hot scene - fabulous location.  Both J&B seem to be finding out how to ask for what they want.  I understand Bella's confusion; it is difficult to move from one love to another - I do remember that although it has been quite a few years since I was "there."  Hope she figures it out soon so that Jake gets a bit of the pleasure back that he is handing out.

Your lemon was delightful - brought back "grinding" memories of saying goodnight in the hallway on the second or third date with my now-husband.    Had difficulty reading those last few paragraphs before the Loutner smile pic, however - kept getting distracted.  Know he is a child, but one with such a gorgeous smile who seems to be such a gentleman in interviews.

Glad bold Bella was able to communicate what she wanted - if that was her "first", what a way to go!  The "exquisite" link to Edward was orignial and an interesting way to bring her back to reality  Hope you do write up that overnight trip to the Aquarium - watching all those fish slowly moving up and down would be quite a turn-on.
