Nothin much to tell.  Wife.  Mom.  Daughter. Teacher. Students.  Closet Twilight fan fiction addict who might actually leave her husband if Carlisle were real and single--even though he's a bit old for me.  I try not to date guys over 250, but for him I'd make an exception.

Lovely chapter.  I really enjoy your story and always do the happy dance when I get an alert for more.

I knew the DNA was compromised, but I didn't see the Tanya thing coming.  You write the best stuff!

How can you do it?  Every chapter is better than the one before!  I honestly do a little happy dance when I find out that there's a new chapter up.  I'm hopelessly addicted.

Don't hide!  That was freakin' amazing.  It was sexy and sweet and made me wish my DH was home right now.

You did an amazing, realistic job.  Not smutty at all, but sexy and sweet.

I SO hope that there's a way Edward won't lose his license for taking the high road on this.  You've got me totally hooked on this story.  It's one of the very best fics I've ever read--and I've read a lot.

Perfect, perfect ending!

Bell will forgive him.  When she gets over the shock of what he said--what he had to say--she'll come to an understanding that he was only trying to protect her.  I'm glad you made her be mad though.  It would have been totally unrealistic if she'd sat there and said the things Edward asked didn't bother her.

Wow!  This was an excellent chapter--full of goodies to move the plot forward.  I loved the Charlie/Edward interaction.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: January 27, 2010 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 34 - Discipline

I couldn't predict if you have him disbarred or not, but I know he shouldn't be.  I'd have been swayed by Carlisle and Rosalie's defense of Edward's actions.  I know he'll be disciplined, but I hope he isn't disbarred.  I think you can have him do too many worthwhile things as a lawyer. 

Another excellent, excellent chapter!

You'd better not!  Please take care of our Edward.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: February 26, 2010 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 36 - Sweet Dreams

I just love the Southernisms you put in this story.  It's true that we Southerners have a momma and a daddy no matter how old we are.  It's hilarious to see my 6'6" son call his father "daddy," but that's what he is.

I love the interaction between Bella, Edward, and Elizabeth.  Your writing really immerses the reader in the story.  I felt like I was at a nearby table.

Oh, and a favor please--please don't let Bella's dream be a premonition!

Aw crap!  I figured dark sedan guy was going to show up again.  I suppose he has Edward's cell full of contacts too. 

I always do a happy dance when I see this fantastic story has been  updated.  I understand about RL and jobs, so I will wait semi-patiently for the next update.

If there's any difference with Washington's laws, the vast majority of us would never, ever know it. 

What a riveting chapter!  Everything you write is excellent, but this one went beyond that.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: April 05, 2010 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 39 - Surprise!

I don't think Emmett's accident was an accident by any stretch of the imagination. I think James's dad's people are making their presence known in a very, um, unfriendly way. 

The Jacob thing is pretty obvious to me; Edward has a brother he and his mother knew nothing about.

I know this isn't a radio station and you don't take requests--but PLEASE don't let Emmett die!

It broke my heart for Edward to read how close Jacob and Senior were.  Edward got cheated out of that. 

Your story stops my heart with evry chapter.

Yay for Mike for manning-up now, even if perhaps he should have before. 

I'm not a good and faithful reviewer, but I love every word of your story.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: June 19, 2010 Title: Chapter 47: Chapter 46 - Bella Continued

Poor Mike.  I know he left, but he really didn't know what to do.

I can't tell you how much a love this story!

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: July 12, 2010 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 47 - Defending James

ARGH!  What a place to end a chapter!  Please, oh please, don't leave us hanging like this for long.  You do such a great job that I'm totally invested in this story.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: July 23, 2010 Title: Chapter 49: Chapter 48 - Tactical Maneuvers

Awesome!  I can't say how much I love this chapter.  It's about time things really start to go Edward and Bella's way.  The Charlie/Elizabeth thing is too cute--and Edward's reaction is priceless.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed
Date: September 13, 2010 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 49 - In Closing

Oh my goodness!  I've missed your story so much.  Your writing draws me in; I feel like part of the story rather than a passive observer. 

I'm sorry RL has been a pain and I hope things so well for you from now on. :o)

 
Summary:

Bella Swan had big dreams.  You know what they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall.  When her life takes a sad turn she is forced to do whatever she can just to keep her head above water.  Edward Cullen's life is perfect.  Well, almost.  Perhaps these two can help each other out in an unorthodox way.

"Oh my God!  What have I done?"  If he doesn't know, they weren't doing it right. ;o)

Seriously, this was such an intensely emotional chapter.  Awesome.

Of course he isn't over her!  Silly Edward.  I can't wait for the sparks to fly.  Delightful!

I'm not a good reviewer, but I wanted to let you know this chapter made me smile.



Author's Response:

That means a lot to me.  Thank you for letting me know.

 
Reviewer: VictoriaCullen Signed

I don't review much because my reviews aren't usually very interesting.  Your story, however, IS very interesting.  I'm eager to read more.



Author's Response:

Thank you for taking the time.  I'm glad you're finding the story interesting!
