I discovered your story and after reading your latest update I wanted to leave a review. I am story and I agree it has taken on a life beyond suducing Bella. It is amazing how a fic tends to do that. This last chapter was your best so far, imo. I have always loved Edwards POV. He is such a complicated character and it was great to see the complex emotions he was going through as they screamed their feelings to each other. I can't wait to see where you take us with this story.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm surprised but relieved that you thought this chapter was my best- I wasn't sure about it when I was writing. Thank you for reviewing!

Nice start. I can't wait to see what Edward's first impression of her is. :)

lol. Her comment about people who get to call her Isabella was very funny. I loved the meeting and you did a nice job showing the chemistry on both sides through Bella's eyes.

Wow you are really building the sexual tension for these two.

Thank you for this chapter full of Bella and Edward. You were right it was needed after the last two chapters. I'm really looking forward to Edward kicking Jacob's butt some more in the near future.

I thought it was great how Edward got Bella to go into the pool with him. His reaction to her suit was quite funny. Obviously he wasn't thinking when picking out both their suits but oh well it provided some fun. :)

Can't wait for the next chapter. Great job.

I'm so glad Bella is finally begining to realize Edward has feelings for her too. I loved when she was watching the race and was gripping the railing so hard. Great show of emotion.

Laraunt needs to go. What a horrible boss. I can't wait to see what Edward's reaction is going to be. I can't think it will be good.

And the ending was very sweet. Bella and Edward's night time cuddling and convos were always some of my favorite parts in the books and I'm glad you were able to work them into your story.

Can't wait for the next chapter of course. :)

I liked how you pointed out in this chapter Edward's concern for keeping under the radar. Bella of course gives him a bit of cover since she is still human but after over 80 years of that type of thinking I can't imagine it would be easy to break. Just the fact that he continues to be willing to put his safety out there because of her is impressive.

The scene on the couch was very good. I liked how Edward let Bella take a control a little. Edward is a bit of a control freak. lol. The phone call was just too cute. Emmett was...well Emmett but Alice and Jasper were great too.

You've got me quite stumped on who this person in her dream is and if it is in fact anyone. I am assuming this boy/man is real though. Bella for whatever reason has very interesting dreams that usually turn out to have some reality to them.

You did a great job with this chapter imo. It was so cute when Bella was on the phone with Alice and Edward was starting to "distract" her and then Alice advised her to make him stop. lol. I love that they act like normal newlyweds. :)

The gifts were perfect. I almost had tears in my eyes right along with Edward at Bella's gift. It was perfect.

Can't wait to see what's next.

This chapter was so sweet. First Charlie's concern for Bella and his appology to Edward and then Edward taking care of Bella. It was very Edward and I loved it. He would do anything in his power for her and it showed here in something as simple as him giving her a bath and then laying down beside her.

lol. Well your right it wasn't my favorite chapter but as you pointed out it was probibly necessary. It was nice to see the green eyed monster poke his head out in this chapter and I have a feeling, at least in Edwards case, it will be coming at us in full force soon. I can't imagine he will take it well when he finds out Bella and Jake are spending time together while he has been away. So I do have a question though...who is Tanya in this story? Do she and Edward have a romantic past? Is she just a friend who would like to be more?

Author's Response: Tanya is someone whose circle of influence overlaps with Edwards, so they see each other often. They didn't really have a romantic past, but they have dated on and off over the past several years.

This was great! I loved it. What a great thing to wake up to first thing in the morning. :)

I figured he'd be upset and I was hoping...well you fulfilled my hopes and then some. The tension in the air was great. I was expecting maybe a heated kiss but for him to offer...well that was just better than expected.

Seeing both of their POV's was nice, especially with this chapter. We really needed to see where each of them stood at this point. You did a nice job explaining why Bella hadn't considered Edward for her little plan (thank you).

As always I can't wait for the next chapter and I'm glad to hear your only about 1/4 done. I'm not near ready for this fic to end. :)

I read this first thing this morning but I didn't have time to review before I left so here goes. :)

I was very happy to find out that Edward had spent the past few nights trying to protect Bella and not persuing other "interests". And I loved how he surprised his admin by going home early b/c he wanted to see Bella.

I'm not sure how I feel about Bella and Rose being friends. I mean I'm glad Rose helped her patch things up with Alice and the convo between Alice and Edward was very funny. lol. Now Alice thinks Edward cheated on Bella which I know isn't really funny but after what he did he deserves to feel some of th wrath of Alice. :)

Her falling asleep in the hall was cute and then how he rationalized putting her in his bed. Loved it.

Finally we get a real kiss! Edward is responding to her and noticing the difference. I wonder how long it will take before he realizes he's fallen in love with her.

And I'm with Edward...I want to know why she said "Your right." at the end of the chapter when he said they should stop.

Sorry to hear you were sick but I'm glad your feeling better. This is my favorite fic right now and I was so happy to get an update.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review.

Edward isn't sure how he feels about Rose and Bella being friends either. And I doubt Emmett will be all that comfortable with it if he really thinks it through, especially with Bella spending time with his girls.

and, YES, a real kiss. It's about time, right? Maybe now I'll stop getting reviews asking me if anything will ever happen between BxE.

And next chapter is BPOV, so we'll find out why then.  

Well I think you handled the morning after perfectly. I'm glad you gave us the begining of this chapter from Edwards POV. It's good to know he's starting to admit his feelings for Bella. I think he has a long way to go but at least he's not totally unaware.

Emmett was great! lol. Loved that he punched Edward and then even felt a bit guilty about it. :) And then Edward insisting on accompaning Bella... I wonder how long it's going to take our brilliant marshal to realize Bella isn't just another fling to Edward.

As always can't wait for more. :)
