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 34: Chapter 34 - Ever After (twilighted beta - vjgm)
Patience and time make things better. When you're feeling down, sad, angry, desperate, hearing these words makes you want to burry them. But then when things are better you realize they are right. There are certain things in life, like friendship and love that shouldn't be pressured or be moved forward. Sadly we forget this and make things harder.
Bella and Edward needed the sorrow, the sadness, the happiness that took so long to settle. They were meant for each other but not when they thought they were. When life had seen them grow enough to value each other.
Yes, Charlie in a way was the orchestrator to all of this. In his own quiet suttle way he helped and guided both to one another. He knew they would in time be good for each other. And that when it was his time to leave, Edward would be there to help Bella through the grief and sadness.
It's amazing how a story that talked about sadness, solitude and anger so much can portray love and frienship in such way.
Congratulations on the story. Yes it took a while for it to find its ending, but it needed the time just as Bella and Edward did.
Summary: Edward's family hire Bella Swan to break the heartbreaker's heart in hopes to have him see the error of his womanizing ways. Bella realizes that they have a little too much in common and is having a little too much fun with this subject. EXB Lots of lemons later.

Title: Chapter 15: Falling Friday
Wow, it was really, really good. I'm glad we got to read Bella's POV again, I was really wondering what was going through her head, a lot has happened since you last gave her POV, but I wished it has been longer. I like EPOV and how he is "changing" but there's a lot going on with Bella, and how all will come out. Also learning more about Bella's past was good, Eric being the police officer was fun.
Please update soon, this is really good stuff.

Title: Chapter 16: Sensual Saturday
Wow it was a great chapter. It's great to see Bella accepting what she feels, and Edward too. I know that some drama must come on how Bella comes clean with Edward, just don't make us suffer that much please.
It was also great to see Bella accepting presents so easily. I guess that now that they're seeing Jordan, Jasper will have a bigger role on this story, and I guess also he will be key along with Jacob to help Edward understand what Bella does.
Please update soon.

Title: Chapter 17: Serious Sunday
It was as usual a great chapter. I think it was great that Jordan got to see Edward defending Bella, that almost everyone was there. Is Nessie ever going to show up? It was also very good that everyone was there for the "intervention" it will get them all to be closer and Edward's thoughts afterwards are going to help I sure hope, when Bella comes clean. I have another question, will she tell Jordan also? and will she tell them both together? I think it may be easier for everyone.
Please post soon

Title: Chapter 18: The Good
This was very good fluff, a very good chapter. I really don't think it was just fluff, you managed to get in lots of things to get us thinking. Jordan's comment on Bella being the one to finish her relationships, Edward thinking of that. What Edward said of Jacob loosing his trust and how Bella jumped at that, but last chapter his thoughts were of wonder of what she would do for the ones she loves. The comments on Nessie and Jacob, what is really going on there. Alice becoming Bellas shopper. The whispering between Rosealie and Bella. The Gala and Concert, the option of changing Bella's job in the company. Well writing all this questions makes me think that there is still a lot more to this story and that makes me very happy. So please answer them all and give us more, and yes, soon please!! :)

Title: Chapter 19: The Bad
This was an excelent chapter, but a really "bad" one you were right, and awsome, I never could have imagined something like this happening. You're really good and mean, you left us with a sob on our throats and a cliffhanger to kill us. So please, please update soon!!!!! This story is amazing and addictive. You're doing an amazing job bringing twists and turns to the story that are plausible but still very hard to imagine them coming up in it.
Congratulations on a great story and again PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!

Title: Chapter 20: The Ugly
Even harder than this? Poor Bella really, how much can she take? Yes she is strong and has lots of people around to help her, but she really, really needs a break, I hope you give it to her soon. About Edward, he had a hard time too, poor guy, and at the end he must have been really scared. At least they are together and can't let go of each other, so maybe what ever is coming will be easier since they will face it together, please let them face it together.
Okay after all of the above was said, great chapter, really really "ugly" and sad. You're really good at this. I'm amazed at how you are able to tangle the story, keep it going and making it so interesting and in long chapters, which are my favorite kind of chapters.
Can't wait for what may be next, please update soon!!!!!

Title: Chapter 29: Ready To Forgive
When things are going well it's easy to agree with the phrase "Out of something bad a good thing will come". When things are bad, it's usually harder to agree. But then things do get better and you have to agree. What has happened to everyone in this stroy after the Gala has been bad. They are all hurting for different reasons. We so far only know how Bella and Edward are working to get through this. Both know it will take a lot of talking and work and some time. They are both willing to give it all they have.
Edward is showing a lot of will to make Bella happy, he called Nessie and Jacob, asked for their help, showed apreciation for it and for all they have done for Bella. And now he is going to try for the hardest of all Jordan. I can imagine it must be hard to write that chapter but it's a really important one. The only thing missing after that is how are the Cullens going to get together for their talk. Who will help there? It will be interesting.
Summary: Bella, an outgoing advertising executive, finds herself in a compromising position with a sexy man as the elevator in her office building breaks down. As she fears death, will this be the final chapter of her life, or will they save each other?

You're really good at cliffhangers, it's great how you can finish a chapter making your readers want the next asap. It was a great chapter. of course the story needed a twist, but you said at the begining that Edward is a good guy, so we'll just have to wait and see what can he say for himself. So please update soon

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7- Relief
So sweet and nice!!!! It was great. The explanation on why Edward left was a good one and a plaussible one too. Family can be overprotective out of love and concern and that's what happened here. Bella was very fast in trusting Alice and the rest, and it was also really fast how Alice found Bella . The rest was well, sweet, lovely and nice.
Update soon I want to know what will happen while they're away and when they go back to NY

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8- The Perfect Date
Did Sidney talk to Alice or is she just as smart as her aunt? It's great that she and Bella are getting along, that Rose is helping Alice help Edward with Bella.
The waverunning was a nice idea, very physical, yet can't get you thinking much, just enjoying. Bella knows who she wants, she just needs to decide the when, both Edward and us will be waiting.
Hope it's soon

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9-All Cullen
It was a great one, Bella fits perfectly with all the Cullens, especially Sydney and kids usually are very good judges and frecuently tell the truth and speak out their thoughts. Bella allowing her to give her a makeover and not cleaning anything until Sydney was sleeping shows what a great heart she has, she never considered how she looked or what the others could think all she cared about was making a little girl happy, it was adorable.
The rest of the chapter, very nice also, unfortunatelly it's back to the real world, and it will be a lot to handle for both of them. update soon

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10- Reality Bites, or does it?
It was amazing.
Edward is really concerned for Bella, sending someone to take her to and from work and be with her and protecting her, that's so sweet.
And him showing up as a delivery guy, that was really clever.
Hopefully the article will make things easier for them, they deserve a break and a walk to get coffee every morning :)

He better, or Bella will self explode and also will he.
They are ready, in the perfect place both physically and mentally, so they better :)
It was great that Bella opened up to Edward, sadly she is still insecure when she shouldn't, lets hope this weekend will prove to her Edward is going to stay with her, no matter what, even herself :)

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12- Release
It was wonderful, as Bella said it was how a first time should be, sweet, tender, loving.
Unfortunately Bella is still very insecure, she has to either trust herself more or trust Edward. What ever she chooses, she has to do it soon.

Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13- And the World Seeps in
What Tanya said wasn't nice, but it wasn't as terrible as Bella percieved it. She is still afraid and not completely sure of herself. She needs to really open her eyes. Edward can't let go of her. He changed his schedule to catch up with her at the coffee place. He went to say hello during lunch and he can't keep his hands off her. Which makes wonderful reading for us. Poor Bella, but she really needs to trust herself. Author's Response: You are so right! Bella wouldn't have thought twice, if she were not worried about not being good enough for Edward. I think the next few chapters will help you understand a bit more. Thanks for reading and reviewing. It means o much.

Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14- Going home and letting go
Syndy is very very smart. Children usually are in things like this. She gave both Edward and Bella the small pushed they needed to really give into each other. Mourning for a parent HAS to be done, better sooner than later. The toll is too high if you wait, that's what happened with Bella. She was so affraid of how much mourning for Charlie would hurt, she believed that putting it aside could ease it. It never does. But when you have someone as amazing as she does (I'm really jelaous) even after such a long time, letting it all out is easier. Now what is left for her in Forks is closure. Selling the house, going through Charlie's things and really saying good-bye. It will be hard but with Edward she'll pull through it.
Congratulations on writing so well the grief and pain of losing someone as important as Charlie. Even if you have both parents together, there is usually one you get along better with, your description of how Bella has felt since she lost him is great.
Keep up the good work

It's wonderful that the newest member of the family finally decided to make an appearance, but it had to be in the middle of Bella and Edward's special night. Well babies don't wait for anyone :).
Bella has got what she needed a loving family that wants to be by her, a chance to reconect with her mother and the most amazing boyfriend. She is a lucky lady. :)

Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16- A Mended Heart
Yes bi-polar disease can really destoy a person and it's family. it takes a lot of work, and love to control it and learn to live with it. Mental diseases are like that, they show no exterior signs and that makes it harder for the pacient and all around to understand what is going on.
It was good to have a why to Renee's behaivor, it may be difficult to understand that she felt she had to do what she did, but it was what was best for her at the time. Thankfully life gave her time to let Bella know.
Bella had been through so much, maybe before she wouldn't have been able to move on with Renee, but as she said, the way her life is now gave her that chance along with Edward.

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17- Just you and I
It was great, really great. Taking them on a kind of "journey" through their relatioship, the parts where they knew each other and the parts where they were just wishes of knowing each other. It was really amazing.
Then going to the park, the only part they weren't able to complete in its time. And the sleigh ride that was so romantic.
Great ending to a great story. Good luck with your next proyect, it will surely be as great as this one.
