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.

With Teeth by TalulaBlue Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 5900]
Summary: Feature

Edward is a 27-year-old alcoholic/addict struggling with his recovery. Bella is a 23-year-old who's moved back home after college. This fic chronicles how they meet, fall in love, and struggle with the complexities of their relationship. Not nearly as maudlin as it sounds (I hope).

Rated NC-17 for graphic (and sometimes non-romantic) sex, drug and alcohol use and abuse, profane language, and brief (very brief) suicidal ideation (although NO suicide attempts). No sexual assault, no cutting.

Date: March 15, 2010 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16

They have been intense in their time together and Bella's body had to react. It's not a  huge thing, but something to take care of and they both learn more and find new and different ways of spending time together.

Bella is moving to Seattle, but the move isn't ending what they have. Edward made it clear he plans on visiting so they will still be together it seems.

They have a task that's taking lots of time and it seems that finally things are moving, at least a bit. They don't mind the work for it, but it has to sometimes be difficult to try so much and get so little from it.

 
Summary:

Bella Swan is a nurse in the trauma center at Harborview Medical Center. She is introduced to Medical Director Dr. Carlisle Cullen's son, Dr. Edward Cullen, the trauma center's newest physician. Though their chemistry is undeniable, they try to ignore it. When Bella accompanies Edward to the tattoo parlor, sparks fly.

Bella and Edward like these I hadn't seen and they were really hot and kinky. I liked the reasons Edward had to get his tattoos and that he choose the word itself was really original.

Then Carlisle with one too... that is also really sexy.

We can't forget the tat for Emily, that has to be one of the sweetest things a father can do for his  daughter.

Bella and Emily hit it off pretty well, which is good considering how well Bella and her father did too....



Author's Response:

Thanks for your comments...yeah, I kinda strayed from the mix with this one-shot, but I wanted to do something very different from stories I have read.

No one expects Carlisle to be tatted, now do they? Again, just wanted to spice things up a bit!

What can I say? Edward is a DILF, and he loves his little girl. Of course he's gonna commemorate that, right? ;)

Thanks again for your comments, made my day!

Date: August 31, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: Who is she?

Edward goes to a little town trying to find peace and quiet to work.  A small town means not too many options, so the diner by the road was it for food. He never expected to find something else, but he did. Food was forgotten, along with time looking at the waitress who continually stumbled and whose smile didn't reach her eyes.

All they know about each other is their name. When will he go in again? Does she know who he is?



Author's Response:

I think you just made a better summary for it that I did! Questions will be answered.....eventually! Haha, thanks for your review

It took him almost a week to get the courage to engage in more than small talk and invite her out.

She did say yes, but was very nervous all the time. There has to be more to Bella of course, but with how slow Edward is being... it might take a while to find out ;)

Hope the date speeds things up.

 
Reviewer: mayams Signed
Date: January 23, 2010 Title: Chapter 4: I Can't Help Myself

Edward saw a difference in Bella, and instead of waiting and thinking a lot about it, he invited her over to talk, she agreed, which was great, of course. Edward went home and waited.

Bella needed to talk to Edward too, she needed to be able to let out what has been troubling her for a while it seems. There is something in her past, something that hurt her and she isn't over yet. Edward wants her too much to not give her the time she needs to figure it out.

But there's that chemistry between them that turns a simple gentle kiss into a fire and a situation that could complicate things. 

How could she not fall for such a guy??? The date is near  :)



Author's Response:

Wow! thanks for that detailed review, I love it! I know right???? I mean, if I weren't married I'd be hunting for a guy like this! Hahaha! Thanks for reading!

 
Reviewer: mayams Signed
Date: January 23, 2010 Title: Chapter 5: The Other Guy

To someone observing it might have seemed like just any other date, but for them, it was unique, special, one of a kind. Bella was open with Edward, telling her about her best friend, something that at first didn't make him very happy, but later, when he realized he has been there for her in the good and the bad, he felt better, calmer.

They will meet, eventually and hopefully it will all go fine. Bella still can't talk about "that other guy" and Edward isn't pushing, he sees it's better this way.

There was tension during the movie and now they are at her place...

Date: January 23, 2010 Title: Chapter 6: Pain and Blossoming Love

She came clean with him, she told him what had happened and he was there to comfort her and make her see he isn't that kind of guy and that she can trust him. Somehow she already knew and that was part of what made her tell him.

They were getting quite heated there, if it hadn't been for Charlie they might have not been able to stop.

Jacob is coming and Edward is preparing himself to be the good and supportive guy, but still a piece of him is still worrying. Lets hope he has no reason for it.

Dang you read fast! Thanks for the love! Glad you like the story!

Jake played tough friend for a long time. He had a tough time keeping the act at certain parts of the day. It was understandable, he cares for Bella and doesn't want to see her get hurt again. He needed to make sure Edward is really good for her and I think he saw Edward will take care of Bella.

Hopefully for Edward, Bella did buy something at her last stop that he might enjoy in the future;)

A sleepy Bella was completely cute!!!!

Haha!!! Glad you liked her, it was fun to write!!

Date: February 01, 2010 Title: Chapter 8: D-Day

Let me tell you I loved the chapter's title, it felt like d-day for a while. Charlie was being obnoxious, and rude. He loves his girl and wants, not only what's best, but for her to never be sad or in pain again. Every man that tries to get close is a threat in his eyes, until he proves differently. Edward was aware and prepared. Charlie didn't make it easy, not at all, but he did rather well. Add to that Bella's help and you can label the night as progress, I think.

Great, it was amazing. I love how you described it through the admiration Edward has for her. It was great, the work of an achieved writer.

They decided to take the slow route, and it was a good choice. They needed time, especially Bella, and she made good use of that time. Finding herself again, believing in herself and in Edward. 

She said she doesn't regret anything that happened in the past, that was a good choice. All of it, the good and the bad have made her who she is today.

 
Summary:

Edward Masen is a former NFL football player who was injured and could not return to playing.

Bella Swan decides to move back home with her younger brother when she gets a teaching position at her old school in Forks. AH/Canon Couples/alternating between Edward and Bella POV. Rated M ;)

Date: September 13, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Prelude

Poor Bella and Jazz, to see all your dreams and hopes just moments away, almost there for you to grasp and to loose it all in an instant. It has to be really hard. It's understandable that Bella doesn't want anything to do with horses anymore, at least for a while. She has gone through a lot. Loosing her mother, her father not caring too much, then loosing her grand-father, and then the accident plus reaffirming her father's lack of interest in her.

However, she is still strong. Her body had to go through a lot and he is beating it and getting better, slowly but steadily. Now a good looking young doctor aproaches her. Why? she has no clue. She is a little scared of what he may want, but listening to him can't bring her any harm.



Author's Response:

Thanks for the review! Just to explain about the whole Charlie thing: I've always found Charlie to be a rather negligent father and it made me feel really weird. For example, she's always off with Edward and nearly everytime she goes over there she comes back hurt. I understand she's a huge kultz, but still shouldn't that be a cause for worry? So I basicly emplified what I saw in him, it's not OOC just magnification. Althoughm from my understanding you don't seems to have a problem with it--I just like explaining things  and talking about writing :).

Also, Carlisle will bring a good thing (cough*Edward*cough) but it will also bring up emotions she has no or very little experince with. It's really quite fun to write, while she's an emotionally hollow, Edward (as we will find out) is an emotional train wreck.

Thanks again for the review,

Evil Black Poppies.

Thanks for the response.

It's not that I don't have a problem with it. I hope this doesn't sound contradictory. I don't like the way Charlie is acting, as sad as he might be for loosing his wife and having to take care of his daughter, there is no excuse for his actions. But it seems it isn't the first time he isn't there for Bella. It seems there isn't much Bella or anyone else could do so Charlie would act differently and it seems Bella doesn't expect him to. It's trully sad, but it seems better times are coming her way, so it's better to focus on those.

Date: September 15, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: New Beginnings/First Day

Charlie is amazing. Taking in Bella and Jacob like that and being supportive and caring, he is an amazing dad and it seems Bella is planning on staying there for a while at least. She wants her kid to have family to feel loved and Charlie is up to it.

It must be hard to start school in a position such as Bella but she is willing to try at least. Fortunatelly there are nice people when you least expect to find them and Alice seems to be one of them. She not only was nice and helpful but isn't judging Bella and wants her to feel welcomed. Not only that she also wants to meet Jacob. That's sweet.

About Edward... he had an idea when the rumor got to him an idea that was changed faster than it came as soon as he saw Bella. Lets hope he can stick to it and not get into trouble.

I'm liking the story, it will be really good it seems. 



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for giving me your insights! Yes, I love Charlie too.  I really want him to be supportive because you will find out that Renee was not a good mom, and poor Bella needs all the support she can get.  I am so glad that you are enjoying my little story. I have so much fun reading and meeting authors and other readers that I wanted to try my hand at it myself.  xoxo

 
Reviewer: mayams Signed
Date: September 19, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - First Talk

Bella has pretty good reasons for not trusting men and trying to convince herself of not trusting them. However not all men are the same, there are nice guys and creeps out there. It seems Edward is deciding which side to take, lets hope he takes the first one. The chances look good, even if Bella was not very talkative in class he didn't get upset by it. Instead he's going to try and get to know her better, slowly, which in this case is good. It will be helpful if she spends time at his place.

Bella was more than surprised that people in Forks are being not too bad with her. She even is making friends on her first day at school and already has a sleepover invitation, peanut included. 

Not everything will be great, sadly. I don't want to be pesimistic but neither too naive as to think Bella won't find rejection. Lets hope that when she does she has friends next to her to help her through.

So Edward is going to get in trouble with Principal Meyers and he is thinking that maybe even with Bella, when in reality she is shocked, amazed, surprise and maybe even proud? he is defending her.

I do hope they get to talk, they need to, especially after Edward's actions. What's going to happen? Will Bella try to help Edward? What will the other two say? What will Edward's parents say about this? And Alice? And Charlie?

 
Reviewer: mayams Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: September 21, 2009 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 First Visit

Okay Charlie is #1 in my list but Esme is in a  really close #2, way to go Esme!!! She surprised everyone at school, Edward, Principal Meyers and Carlisle. She has to be Alice's mom of course and have a special feeling and sense about people, in this case Bella. She is standing by her and defending her, even with the little knowledge she has. That's amazing!!!

Edward was really lucky, no charges pressed, no record of his actions and just a week suspension. Meyers must like Bella too and the Newton's must have realized it would be awkward to press charges against the boy who defended the sheriff's daughter. They aren't such bad parents if they are aware of Mike's actions and acknowledge them.

So Edward has seen "the Bundle" and just that made him realize there's no place for games with Bella, can he really do it? Will he? What about Bella? I hope they get to talk tonight!!!



Author's Response:

I love Esme so much in this story - I think you'll really like her in the next chapter!  I cried when I wrote it.

As far as games, let's just say we are in for a ride, but I believe in happily ever after!  xo

Thanks for your review sweetie!

Date: September 21, 2009 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Meet and Greet

Right you were.... She is fighting for that spot arm to arm with Charlie, could there be a tie at #1? They both deserve it. And yes, you made me cry.

Esme was just beyond words with Bella, making her feel as a good girl, proud of herself, respected and deserving to be loved by people around her. Not to mention giving Bella a taste of motherly love that Bella sadly hadn't felt. She is really an amazing woman. And the rest of the Cullens were also great too. Loving, caring, not judging and accepting of Bella and "Peanut" too.

Bella and Rosalie hopefully will be able to get close. Bella needs both kinds of friends right now. Alice to be a teenager with and Rose to be a mom and talk about women things. 

And what about that kiss????? Edward is really determined to make Bella feel loved and worthy and Bella will be more than happy to oblige ;)

I'm loving this story. Thanks also for clearing up why Charlie can be at home with Jacob while Bella is at school.

Date: September 22, 2009 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Sweet Dreams

So, was Edward dreaming, wishful thinking? Or was Bella really calling his name? Wouldn't he like to know ;). However if she finds out he heard her, she might have a permanent blush on her.

Edward and Bella talked and even as much as they feel for each other, they think they should take things slowly, especially for Bella. It's all a big change for her and a permanent one, at least for a long while. Edward is willing to give it a try. I'm not trying to be mean, but has he realized what he is willing to get himself into? Poor Bella hearing Edward talk about college had to make her feel not so good. She might be able to go, but won't have the "full experience". She loves Jacob more than anything and wouldn't change him. But there are things she will miss and trade for him. That isn't easy when you're 17. 

Somehow it will work out, there's a huge support system building around her that will be so good.

Date: September 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - Little Gobbler

Leave it to Bella to have an accident, it came rather early in the day but it isn't serious so it's fine. Esme saw "everything" and by that I don't mean the injury; she saw what she suspected, that there's more than friendship wanting to burst out of Bella and Edward. Bella's cut could be the best excuse for them to spend time together.

But Bella's filter went on holiday and I can imagine she must feel so embarased she might even leave or attempt to leave the Cullens and go back home.

What's going to happen?

 
Reviewer: mayams Signed
Date: September 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Party Time

Edward really did it this time. Okay Bella reacted too fast and strange. But there are really good reasons for Bella's behavior. Edward felt hurt and not wanted and instead of talking with someone, especially Bella he decided to go to his room and feel bad for himself. 

Yes, he was thinking about Bella but not having Bella in mind. He only thought of what he felt with Bella's rejection and never the reasons behind it. 

Yes, Bella didn't act in the best way possible, but she is scared and frightened and doesn't want to get involved in something with such an uncertain future. 

They both needed to give each other the chance to talk to hear what the other had to say. It isn't an easy situation but they're making it far more worse than it should.

Then consider teenage male hormones and some very mean, horny and drunk teenagers. and you have a mess in your hands.

What's he going to do now?

I love Rosalie so much!!!! She is so smart, witty, clever and funny. And just as she said, Emmett will think it was all his idea, a very sneaky idea and that Rose had nothing to do with it. Meanwhile she'll agree with him but  deep down know, along with Bella the truth.

She has seen a lot of things, and so has Esme. I find it great that both of them talk about almost anything, Bella and Edward included. It's great to see such a relationship between mother and daughter in law. 

So Edward went to Emmett and Rosalie´s house and feel miserable there instead than at home. He really is close to his brother. That's really great also.

All they needed was a little strong push, of course it had to be Rose to give it. ;)

Emmett and Rose are really great!!!! Bella and Edward have to be so thankful to them. They helped them patch things up and even stayed with Jacob so they could have some time for themselves.

Edward telling Bella he hoped she didn't mean it about the "daddy" comment was so sweet and a huge surprise for Bella.

However the biggest was Edward asking Bella to go to college where he'll go.
