Hello, I'm a 34 English Teacher / Psychologist. Married, no children however two extreamly spoiled and adored goldenretrievers. Moka and Maya are my babies, both girls around 8 human years both of them.
I live in the city of Puebla in Mexico. It is a colonial city near the volcanoes. I give English lessons to children and adults.
I love reading since I was a little girl I read almost anything within my reach. I enjoy reading historic novels and biographies but adore a good novel and mystery. I would love to write, but I'm not good yet. I begin something and then have no idea how to finish it. So I have tons of little stories and things that go through my head in the computer and notebooks. I hope to one day make something out of all of it.
I got hooked in Fan Fiction thanks to the Twilight series which I loved. I enjoy reviewing stories and try to think my reviews and make them nice.
About my Favorite things.- Reading of course, both in English and Spanish. Favorite Authors, in Spanish, Gabriel García Marquez, Angeles Mastretta, Paulo Cohelo. In English, in no particular order Stephenie Meyer, J.K. Rowling, Michel Crichton, Agatha Christie. These are the ones I can think of now.
I also love cooking and I'm good at it, at least that's what family and friends tell me.
I also enjoy sewing, needle point, cross stich and such.
That's it for now I think. I hope that the authors whose stories I review enjoy them I try to make them good. Since I don't feel I can write a story yet at least I can try and write good reviews.

Title: Chapter 1: Bonding Time?
This will be interesting. What will each of the Cullen think of as a good bonding activity. Esme will probably be nice and sweet and wonderful. Carlisle will be interesing and probably with intent to spoil Bella. Jasper and Rosalie, I have no idea so I'm curious. Alice and Emmett will be funny and nervous for Bella, but surely filled with care for her. :)

Okay boning time with Esme, Carlisle even Jasper and Rosalie sounds fine but Emmett and Alice's time sound a little scary, both of them.

Title: Chapter 2: Esme's Bonding Time
Esme's idea to show Bella a little of her family's life when they weren't vampires was really great. I would have imagined this more as a Carlisle's activitie, but they are a coulple so should have similar ideas.

Title: Chapter 3: Rosalie's Bonding Time
Wow, Rosalie was much more nicer than I thought she would. It was a really different idea to take her to New York and do shopping her way. Alice is Alice but if Rosalie is the prettiest she has to know how to act the part right?

Title: Bonding Time
It hasn't been my favorite yet, but it wasn't exactly terrilbe. I liked the idea of the yatch and visiting the island but I would have loved to know what they talked about. That I think should be kind of the idea behind bonding time. Both parts learning more about the other.
Still it was nice. And I loved how Bella sees Carlisle like a father figure to her too.

Title: Bonding Time
Clubbing, that I really didn't see coming, but of course leave it to Alice to think of something completely unthinkable. The thing that should keep Bella's spirit up is that probably clubbing involves Edward, I certainly hope so. :)
Summary: Bella Swan changed her life and ideals for a guy . . . who then dumped her in the middle of a mall. Even if she's happier now and her life is back on track, she still needs to realize that the past is the past.
Enter Edward Cullen, devastatingly handsome and hopelessly in love with Bella after knowing her for only a short time. Can he prove to Bella that she's not the type who should be loved and left? Can he help her get over her past and put her self doubts behind her?
Rated M for later chapters.

Title: Chapter 2: Guys and Dolls

Edward in a cowboy hat, that is an interesting image, and Bella dancing and not falling until she was out of the club. That is something also.
What's up with James? not that I care much but it was odd, first he was all over Victoria but left alone.

It took him a while to call. He is taking time. I liked that he owns a music store, thats something I can imagine working well for Edward.

I can't be mad at Bella. It's understadable to feel like her. To have your hear broken isn't the nicest of things so of course she will be careful and not want to go down that road again. Who would?

Mike sure deserved to feel bad, especially on this date. He really pulled a number and now wants things back to how they were? Really he is crazy. Bella had Edward to stand up for her and by her, that is sweet. Of course Jasper and Alice were there too. She is lucky to have such people in her life.

There is a past to Bella, do we want to know about it? Alice and Jasper are great together and they are great friends to Edward and Bella, By the way Bella is really falling deep she went dancing without making a fuss.
Summary:  With Bella's love of cooking and Alice's flair for parties their dream comes true of owning their own business. Both Bella and Edward have pasts to deal with. Will love help them and can they help each other?

The story is flowing, a little slow maybe, but I think it will start to get more interesting from now on, since Bella is thinking about taking the first step. So you should continue it, it is a nice story and it will probably guide you through. So please don't stop, even if it takes you a little longer to post.

Title: Chapter 8: Homecoming
It must be so frustrating to know something is going on and no one will or can say anything about it.
Poor Alice she must have almost made herself crazy with the changes, however, it's Alice, so all turned out just fine.
Summary: Reclusive Edward Cullen lives the life of a gangster, trying so hard to hold onto his memories. Bella Swan is a high school teacher who is attempting to forget her past. What happens when their worlds collide and they realize just how much they have in common? All human.
rated R for violence and angst

Title: Chapter 5: Memories v!
I'm confused, really confused, I guess I will have to read it again to see if I can understand a little better.
There is a lot of information missing I think, that makes understanding harder. Yes Edward feels awful about his life but believes he can't have a chance at a normal life. He admires Carlisle but for reasons still not clear made an agreement to kill him, something he hasn't done and seems incapable of. Then Carlisle thinks Edward can have a chance at both lives? Being a doctor and a gangster at the same time? Carlisle also thinks Bella and Edward could be good for each other. Doesn't he know the story there? I assume a man with such power should.
There are somethings in Bella's past, her mother driffted and sent her to Forks. Was she sick, with depression, knew something about Charlie that made her act like that? Then why send her to Forks? Why did Charlie agree to have her there if he was fighting a druggang it would be dangerous for her. It seems it was and she went to the other side of the country.
Then Edward is furious to discover who Bella is, and what wants to take it out on someone else that looks like her? Doing what? And how did Alice and Emmett find him just in the exact moment?
I understand the need of twists in plots, but when so many things are left in dark corners unexplained it just makes it harder to follow the story. Please begin clearing things a little it will make the story better I think,
Summary: Bella Swan moves cross country to take a teaching job, trying to escape the man who broke her heart. Edward Cullen is the school's music teacher with secrets of his own. Bella and Edward find themselves thrown together trying to work through their issues and unexpected feelings for each other.

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 (K)
Escelent story, I'm enjoying how you're describing Bella's feelings and emotions but from a narator's point of view, instead of her telling the story. Jacob seems sorry to say it dumb, I don't know how much of him we'll see in the story but he really is lost. It's great that Bella and Charlie have a good relationship, they will miss each other, but Bella has someone she can lean on, which is good. Hope the students won't be too mean to her and that the teachers will help her out. I hope she and Emmett can become friends, along with Emmett's wife, she needs friends to help her move on.
Update soon, don't burn your cushion though but do update and keep up the good work :)

There's going to be gossip in school, I just hope it's good gossip. Edward was nice and polite but Bella still has lots of trust issues with him and men in general. What will happen?
It's great that they're trying, and that I loved that Edward is also a photographer. Still so much to come and learn about everyone in this story.
When will Emmett and Rosalie's baby will be born? that will be fun. Update soon :)

It must be hard to feel so let down by someone you trust and love as much as Bella loved Jacob. That is sure to make you shy and insecure, and unforutnately even rude to others if they can't see correctly. Luckily it seems Edward can see that Bella has something in her that keeps her at bay, as apparently he has too. And of course there is Alice who with more force than a tornado will lift the clouds off anyone's sad day, shopping may be included as it will be next chapter :)

About time Jacob got in trouble, I really hope Bella erases his number from her phone :) sorry Jacob fans, but he is really clueless and a litte mean.
It was a great chapter, Rosalie as a mom and nice with Bella, they may become good friends.
There is still a lot to know about Edward, he has trust issues, sever ones, we just need to find out why and who caused him to turn into a hermit.
It's good that both of them are slowly trying to piece their own lives before they get anyone in them. Still something is starting to cook there, at least the curiosity of getting to know the other, and of course with a little help from some very cheerful friends Emmett and Alice and the aid of thers, Rosalie and Jasper, lets hope Bella and Edward may start a healthy friendship, and then...... something more.
Update soon please :)

It was about time Bella did that. Although it was extreamly hard for her and it will be hard for a long time, she had to, she was being too nice and naive, good think Jacob was such a dork to go and get it with the one person Bella could not accept. Now it will be up to her and Alice to pick up the pieces and move on. They share heart pain, different one, but they now can share both the good and the bad.
Great chapter, sad but real good, good thing it's a weekend if not school would be hell for Bella.

So, I'm guessing this misterious door has something to do with Jazz, Edward composing and that little band of his. The thing is if he didn't say much the night before, how did Emmett and Alice, the masterminds of course, found out?
We'll probably find out, lets hope Bella doesn't flip and neither does Edward.
Please update soon, you left us with a cliffhanger :)
