Great as always! More more more!

It is so hard to wait for your stories they are truly so much fun to read!

Author's Response:

Aw, thanks, Lynne. Fun is good! ;)

As always just wonderful! Christian loves Ana so much but is so clueless about how to interact with her. Taylor's inter critique is awesome. I love his sense of humor and his protective values. You have made true Taylor fans out of everyone who reads your story. I just wish you would post more often! I love all of your stories! Waiting weeks on end to read another chapter from one of your stories is really frustrating. Do you have a pattern or schedule you follow to update your different stories? Please don't get me wrong they are ALWAYS worth the wait and I appreciate that you even share your awesome talent with us however it's just me, I'm not a patient person. You are so wonderful at what you do and I don't think if you rushed your work just for the sake of updating quickly we would be getting the quality that we have all come to expect and appreciate. Please just know it is hard waiting for updates. P.S. I know good things come to those who wait! And you never disappoint!

So many snarky comments that just made me laugh, we all love Jason! Can't wait for the ball! I can't wait to read what he thinks of the encounter with Elena and c&a disappearing to his childhood room. Keep writing and we will keep reading!

Author's Response:

Thanks, Lynne. You're such a trooper with your comments. jxx

I always wondered when Gail said yes. To cute that Jason was jealous that Christian "copied" him. He missed a whole bunch of their drama, but it seems he was having drama of his own.

Wonderful as always! I just loved man day! The part where Ana asked if Christian was going to teach Teddy how to adjust in public and silent fart made me actually laugh out loud. You have such a wonderful way of mixing humor with depth in your stories. The details you use are what sets your writing apart from others. I enjoy reading your talented work! Please update as soon as you can.

Author's Response:

I can't imagine Christian ever adjusting himself in public or farting, anywhere! He is just too perfect. But he is a man, thank heavens.  Thanks for reading and leaving a review. E.

You bar none are the best ff writer out there! Every story you write is AMAZING!

Author's Response:

Crikey! And thanks a lot! PS Wow!

It's still pretty early in your story to really review. So far it is good. I would suggest posting a few chapters pretty quickly to get your readers " into" your story. Good luck with your writing.

Ok give the guy a second chance but not a third. I hope he does not turn out to be a creep.

Author's Response:

He's not a creep, I promise.

Ok Brandon seemed sweet. I love the story of his hard working dad and him holding a 4.0. I think he could have budgeted his study time better so he could have spent more time with her,but as they say always leave them wanting more...

Author's Response:

I told you he wouldn't turn into a creep.

Cute chapter!
A little advise... Let your humor show through on these kinds of transition chapters.
Thanks for the update.

Good chapter, I understand that some chapters are transition chapters to move the story forward however there needs to be some twists, action or humor. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

The truth will set you free! Phoebe don't lie to your friends! I would be totally pissed at her if I found out later that she was lying to me and could not trust me to keep her secret. These are already her friends so it's not like they are just using her for her money. Tell them.

This must be hard for  both of them

You go Grey family! I'm an art teacher and I afraid the arts are going to be a thing of the past in the public schools in the next few years! Good chapter, keep writing!

I'm sorry that you got such greif for the last chapter, I did not feel upset at you at all! Yes it was very emotional however it IS fiction! I think you are a writer that writes your story with emotions and brings us along for the ride! My God I have felt joy ,glee, romantic, hot, sad ,mad, anger ,jealous , excitement, nervous, relief, compassion, just to name a few and now to add to that sorrow and greif. To me that is what a good story should do. Not all stories are hearts and flowers all the time,and I think if it was we would be bored pretty darn fast! I think you have had a wonderful balance in this story. As long as I know that Ana and Christian will make it through together whatever your creative talented mind thinks up I'm with you! Thank you for writing this awesome story that I can obsess over!

Do you ever get tired of people telling you how talented you are? Because truly you really are! The reason I review the stories I read is because I appreciate the talent that you writers share with us free of charge. The very least we can do is tell you thank you and to let you know that your talent is being recognized. You however are one writer that stands out among your peers. My review is ... You nailed it again,wonderful as always! I hope you dont get to tired of being told you are an excellent writer because if you keep writing I intend to keep telling you!

Author's Response:

No. I can't imagine getting tired of nice comments. I appreciate you taking time to leave them. Thanks for following the new book. E.

Oh my goodness this chapter made me smile and laugh throughout the whole thing! So many funny little lines and moments. You are such an excellent writer.
I can't wait for your next chapter,I am guessing that the bitch troll is at this party somewhere. I hate her but she sure makes things interesting!
I am so addicted to your story.

Author's Response:

Thank you. I appreciate the review.

My stomach gets in knots every time Elena is involved in one of these chapters. I think Ana should tell Christian what Elena said about Amy. The last thing they need is the two of those women joining forces. Also I hope Ana goes to see Dr Flynn to talk out some of her anxiety. Should we be concerned about the health and safety of this baby? How would Christian deal with a problem like that? Will Elena finally get what she deserves in your story? These are only a few of the questions that I am wondering about with your story. You are so good at writing and so great at the twists and turns of this story, I never know just what to expect. Update soon please! By the way "Thank you so much" for updating so often. It really does keep us readers so connected and emotionally tied to your story!

Author's Response:

So eager for information, Miss Steele. If I gave you the answers then you wouldn't read. Stay tuned. 

Love it!

Author's Response:

Thank you!!

I don't like anyone to get beat, however I must say she had it coming. I wish Christian would have gotten the police involved,arrest her ass!
I wonder where it will go from here,it almost sounded like in some sick way she liked it. I don't think they have heard the last of her.

Author's Response:

Ana will address it. She isn't happy about the way he handled it either.

Love that Kate told Christian to get her a maternity car, that's so Kate.

Oh my, what is happening in South America? I wonder what this Grandma thing is too? That sounds a little fishy with that guy that was hang around before??? Be update soon! I need to know!

As always I love every chapter you write. Not a lot of answers yet but at least we know what k&r insurance is. I think you were right to have the caracters feelings and emotions explored a little before jumping into the whole big k&r scene. (what do you think of my use of k&r.) lol Really wonderful as always and looking forward to chapter 19.

Oh my goodness what a cliffhanger! Is the dark figure Christian,Sawyer,the man in the trench coat,who ,who,who? Please tell us soon!

By the way you wrote this chapter so well. Christian interfering in the negotiations was perfect Christian behavior,and Ana visiting with the spouses was so Ana,awesome touches!

Please,please,don't make us wait long!

Is there really a book about sneezing? Christian was so cute with Teddy explaining "more". Love that Grace and Carrirk kept pushing to know how Christian over did it. You are such a wonderful writer! Thank you for sharing your talent!

Author's Response:

Yes there is such a book and it is called Where Did I Come From. I  had to do some birds and bees education years ago when I worked with kids and I thought it was sweet. Very honest, but very sweet. 

Wow Christian handled the whole Elena thing pretty well. I wonder if he will continue to be so laid back about it. Some how I doult it.
By the way Christian saying, "Come in and be totally repulsed by my face." to funny!

So good! Such deep emotion to go through, you write it so well!

Author's Response:

Thanks again. And thanks for following. I look to see what you think after the chapters. I know who follows.

My teenage daughter said to me when she saw me typing on my iPad " Mom you are not one of those weird people that review every chapter that you read are you, oh my gosh you are such a loser!" then she laughed and kissed me on the top of my head and walk away smiling. Well yes I am one of those weird people who review after every chapter. Reviewing is my small way of saying thank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing story with the caracters that we all love so much. I am just amazed at the talent that is shared freely to anyone who wants to read it. This story and the sandandsurf stories are by far the best out there! I must admit I am a little obsessed with reading your stories. I love that you update as often as you do and yet maintain the quality that is top standard. I can not tell you enough how talented you are and how amazing your writing is! So each chapter you write I will continue to be the loser I am and review to say thank so much for sharing your talent! Now as for this last chapter oh my goodness the talk Ana had with Teddy was just PERFECT! No mother could have done better with her child. As for Christian he may not be perfect but he is the sweetest husband and the best dad a wife could ask for. You make us love these caracters even more then we did in fifty shades. Bravo! Can't wait for the next "book". Again, thank you for sharing with us!

Author's Response:

No. Thank you for reviewing. The authors appreciate every review after each chapter. It's sort of like tipping a fter a meal. We like to know if we did a good job or not. 

That was really great! I never really thought about how Christian and Claude met and interacted. I wish it was a bit longer but a guess when their together they don't do a lot of talking and he probably didn't get much of a chance to observe Christian at other times.
Thanks for the story,I really enjoyed it.

Author's Response:

Thanks, Lynne. I think he'd see a lot during training: when Christian had had a good day or a bad day, his competitiveness - stuff like that. But Christian still regards him as a friend - he's invited to his welcome back party so CG's family know about him. Hmm, could be more there.

Oh John is always so helpful! He was wonderful with Ana, he showed her where she went wrong and showed her Christians mind set so she could act/react differently. His insight into their situation was so spot on. (your good!). I wonder if Christian did go see Flynn. I hope he did. It sounds like Christian just needs time to sort this all out in his head and deal with it in his own time frame. Granted Anas heart was in the right place but that doesn't change the fact that it really hurt Christian. I think too that Christian needs to deal with his safety vs spying issues when it comes to Ana. I hope Ana talks to Jason about Sawyer and lets Christian know that she did. Sawyer does not deserve to be fired, but Ana can't go behind Christians back again. This whole story line is so heart wrenching. You are such a wonderful story teller. Thank you for your update it made me feel so much better. It sounds like they will be ok in the long run. 

Happy Holidays to you too. Thank you for giving us the gift of your talent chapter after chapter.

You're the best ! Every chapter you write is awesome and this one is no exception. Can't wait for your next update.

Are you asleep real hard or just sort of? So cute! I love how you incorporate Teddy into your story. Also playing in the rain together and Christian joining in just made me smile from ear to ear! This was another Wonderfully written chapter! Now as for where your new book will take us I could not begin to guess or suggest. However I will say one thing ,I always wondered about why neither Ana nor her mother would ever talk about husband number three.It might be interesting to see how you would explore that unanswered gap in story. Ok so maybe I am making a suggestion. However whatever you come up with will be interesting, creative and of course completely unexpected! Your writing rocks! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Author's Response:

In book one it was discussed briefly. He was abusive to Carla, that's why Ana went to live with Ray and why Carla divorced him so quickly. But  I have thought about exploring that. Who knows it might come up,

I think you dealt with Christians strange mood PERFECTLY! No wonder Christian was in such a foul mood. Leave it to Elena to haunt Christians family from the grave. Christian deals with a lot all day at work and I can see how Graces hair cut sent him over the edge. He can't control his little girl from growing up, and to add to that Teddy disobeying him as well. Christian can't always be the perfect parent( no one can be). Elena's will must have been a shock to him,he probably had dealt with those emotions and locked them away and was now forced to deal with her crap all over again. His lack of control throughout his whole day must have been really hard for him you had him deal with it so perfectly CHRISTIAN! Then to be turned down in bed, POW, this guy just had one rotten day! Awesome as always!

Author's Response:

Poor Christian did have a bad day. Don't we all from time to time.

You give us such great insight to each caracter and you fill the story with the little things that make us love this family! Awesome as always!

Author's Response:

Ohhhh. Thank you. And thanks for leaving a comment. I  know you follow this and I thank you.

You are so wonderful! I really liked this chapter,it was great how Paul respected Ana and her marriage. That was classy, and I'm glad she is going to work for him. Christian dealt with all of this really well, I'm so proud of him. It was great to see Christian in his element of negotiating for the plane, that man made an offer and that was it, he never even flinched! I guess that's why he is a very wealthy man! You also had Christian say some super sweet things to Ana in this chapter,it just makes me smile when an "old" married couple still loves each other so much and tells each other AND shows each other! Looking forward to finding out how the kids made out while they were gone. As always thank you for sharing your talent with us, and I can't wait to read more!

They say communication is one of the most important things in a marriage and I think Ana and Christian are finally getting it! The wedding gift talk, two cowboy hats instead of one, and of course the kinky fuckery. They may make it after all! Lol. I Felt so bad for Ana when her plan hit the fan, she was all excited about it and then it couldn't have gone worse. Then she ended up taking his Dom crap too! Rough day! As always your work is fabulous! Thank you!

Author's Response:

Poor girl planned this before they left for Houston. Nothing worse than trying to be sexy and getting shot down. But he loves her and thank goodness, she loves him.

Teddys questions were so cute,I love that little guy. I'm glad Christian and Ana have talked out their problems. It is so like Christian to blame himself for all of the Sam situation. I didn't even think about that , but you have such a great insight on all the characters , you always seem to write each chapter just perfectly. You are such a talented writer. Thank you for sharing with us!

I love that this is a no cheating zone! This chapter was so good,! Drunk Christian was so funny. I can't wait to see what Ana says to Elliot. I wonder how the other boys made out last night? Teddy stepping up to take Christians place in the wedding was priceless. You have such a sweet way of showing Teddys personality. Is the wedding next? What ever is next I'm here ready to enjoy it! Thanks for be so great at this!

Darn, not a lot of answers yet! How come I can be so disappointed that my pressing questions have not been answered yet and still love the chapter? I guess that it's because I think the writer is so amazing! The way you had Teddy the lady killer dancing the night away and grace scare the crap out of Christian and Ana tell Elliot how she feels and Christian and Ana just talk and tease the night away, it all made this a wonderful chapter. BUT now we need to find out what is up with Elliot! Please let us in on what is going on soon!

Amelia Cruz, hum, I wonder if she will add to the drama that is the Grey's lives. There is so much to happen and I'm just along for the ride. Great job as always. Thanks!

Lemons,lemons,lemons that's all well and good but I want something I can sink my teeth into. I know most of your readers love the intimate stuff but I'm waiting for the next chapter. Don't get me wrong you write a crazy good love scene. Update a again soon please.

Author's Response:

I know. I haven't written  any sexy stuff in ages and people were asking for it. I try to give everyone a little something. More  relationship stuff  and story on the way soon. 

Thanks for the update,as always I enjoyed it. Love to see the happy Grey family living there life in peace. I am guessing this is the calm before the storm. Cant wait for more!

Author's Response:

Gotta' stir the pot a little to keep it interesting. 

oh my now that is some drama!

Oh how I enjoy this story. Your writing makes me smile EVERY time I read it. As always this chapter was flawlessly written. You are indeed an amazing writer. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us. I know I have said it before but I just really appreciate you staying with your story and posting more then just once a week! 

Wow that was incredible! I'm not sure how I feel about it. Poor Christian, his life is finally going smoothly and now there could be this bump in the road.  Ana will have a lot to think about! She could opening a huge can of worms for Christian to have to deal with again. Is the truth or his peace more important right now? I can't wait to see where you take this story line. Thank you so much for this awesome chapter! Oh one last thing, I loved how you had Sawyer  be a good guy and just want to protect Ana. So sweet!

I think that Susie is the one that caused all the trouble. She new who Ana was and she did not have to stop and see Leila when Ana was with them. She also didnt need to invite Leila to join them either. She is not nice, WATCH OUT PAUL! Poor Luke that guy has his hands full with Ana.  Also if Christian knew about Leila did he know about Grandma too? Such a great chapter,cant wait for more.

Oh I loved that! So sweet!

That was great. Christian eating doggie treats was classic! I don't know that he needed to have Ana eat them too, but I guess it didn't hurt anything and Ana is his sub in the bedroom so he can do what he wants. Their relationship is so perfect for each other. Thanks for the update and Happy New Years!
