Bio:
I've been reading fanfiction for years now, especially in the Twilight section.
In 2013 I have encountered one of those perfect stories in the German fandom that was being translated - so I had to find out about the original story and see what else can be discovered here.
I have read many stories so far and am still thrilled about Twilight, especially the All Human section.
I am from Germany and 25 years old - other hobbies are currently my Kawasaki EN 500 C as well as my boyfriend and cats ;) Apart from my studies there is nothing else that I could squeeze in my calendar...
I have written one story (in German) but this is already many years ago and I am not the creative one here. However, I like to read and like to give my feedback to the authors as well. I am interested in realistic stories and not the stuff where people fall in and out of love within minutes...
Edward Masen is the most popular escort working for Esme Platt. He’s the best at what he does and no woman ever goes unsatisfied. He’s smooth, sexy, dangerous and in control. In many ways. His employer holds him to this job due to the debt he needs to repay her. He’s a slave to the job in more ways than one. He lives in the best apartments, dresses in the nicest clothes and drives the best cars. All of it, though, can disappear in a moment’s notice all because Esme knows Edward’s secret.
Isabella Swan is an heiress to the Swan fortune. Her father, Charlie Swan, owns a string of high end hotels and resorts all over the world. Bella, as her friends call her, is also going through a nasty divorce from her husband, Riley. He cheated on Bella with the limo driver, the gardener, the pool boy and Bella’s assistant, Maggie. She’s bitter and angry, hating all men and abhorring her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Charlie is having a grand opening for his newest hotel in Seattle, Swan Towers. Bella is expected there, with a date for the lavish party. Rose, Bella’s best friend, suggested that she use a male escort, handing her Esme Platt’s card. Bella calls and asks for the best. Edward arrives, all suave and debonair, but detached and cold. However, the attraction between the two is palpable.
Will they succumb to their attraction? Will Edward pull Bella down the dark path in his need for control? Or will Bella be his light? Or is all of this a ploy for Buying Love?

I won't give up on them - it's good to see that even now Edward can acknowledge that it wasn't his fault.... This is huge for someone in his situation, so I'm fairly sure that things will improve and that he is coming back to his former self, but stronger.
Keep going!
Date: 05 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 32
Bella is not able to let it go, she's already in too deep I would say... Jasper and Alice made it out of Esme's grip, and according to their reaction they still live in some fear that will only vanish if Esme gets caught :( If Bella learned what Esme does to Edward I think she would also buy him out immediately, but this would not end things since Edward thinks he does not deserve it... But I'm sure that he will be forever grateful if Bella can take Esme down...
Date: 09 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 43
Oh yeah I'm SO looking for some action!! Esme really deserves to be caught now! It's great to see that Rose and Emmett get along well, but do they have to be so open in front of Bella in this situation? I think that's a bit tactless... but anyway, I hope that Edward will be fine soon and that they will get him out of Esme's claws... he has suffered enough for three lifetimes!!
Date: 30 Nov 2015 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 21
So I've been following this story right from the beginning and no it's REALLY time for a review on this!
The thing between Edward and Bella develops nicely and I'm really glad that they have established a certain amount of trust in each other and their feelings especially.
Now I'm curious what Carlisle is going to find out and whether there will be a possibility to rescue Edward and possibly others. Esme needs to be taken out of the way!!
I really like the storyline and, as always, your style is simply enthralling!
So just keep on writing and let us know what really is behind Esme's business!

Date: 26 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 39
Ireally hope that Edward will not have to suffer THIS... And I'm sure that Bella will do something about his mother very soon, so this is a very small step but in the right direction!
Date: 02 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 41
Well, I guess Aro and Marcus will be on the good side of things if they have these affilitaitions... So I hope that this talk has really helped to get things going! Probably Edward is better off with Esmes mean friends than with the devil and his right hand herself... but even this is disgusting and just horrible...
Hurry with the next part and get well soon!
Date: 18 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 35
Hopefully he won't close shut now... But I'm quite sure that Bella can convince him to stay and at least get some rest... who knows what Esme has done to him... I hope that they can sort out their dispute first but since Bella can now understand why he snapped and shouted at her she probably has already forgiven him...
Hurry with the next chapter ;)
Date: 19 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 36
Wow, I think Esme is no longer safe... With Bella seeing what she has done to Edward this is the final point of no return for her, I'm sure.
Hopefully she can convince him to stay and get his mother out of that horrible place... She must be somewhere Esme can't reach her so that Edward knows she will be ok and cared for. ONly then he will be able to concentrate on himself and getting out of this situation...
See you soon!
Date: 21 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 37
The first step is not to talk to Carlisle but to get Edward's mom out of the stinky nursing home and to a place Esme doesn't know so that she can't blackmail Edward any longer!
But this is SO exciting.... I can't wait for the next part to appear ;-)
Date: 16 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 89: Chapter 88
YAY YAY YAY!! Esme going down!
It's great that Edward gained back his inner strength and that he's going to show Esme that she did not destroy him.
Bella did a good job and the questions were not too hard I think - but let's see how Edward's testimony will be...
Date: 23 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 91: Chapter 90
Let Charlie have his say and then disappear.... he does not deserve to be in their lives, or at least he has some major bonding to do and excuses to make! Let's hear what he has to say, but does he really have to appear at court for this? Maybe he has heard Edward's testimony and now really believes him...
As for Esme, the judge should decide on the correct punishment. Although I am no fried of death sentence, it probably is the only reasonable thing in this case since otherway she would weasel her way in jail and build up new alliances there...
Date: 02 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 85: Chapter 84
I hope that Alice can see the other side of the deal and realize how far Jasper has come! I'm very happy for him and his progress, he deserves a better life! And I sincerely hope that Alice will be a part of it. I mean doesn't she want Jasper to bloom? I sure she does, she probably only needs someone who opens her eyes a bit...

Statistics say arranged marriages have a better chance at lasting. Is that still true if the couple is chosen by a group of experts and married on TV with at least one partner in it for the wrong reasons?
A lost bet, the promise of money and a stranger for a bride. Will confirmed bachelor Edward Masen find a match made in heaven or hell?

Once again you have me addicted to your writing ;-)
I'm REALLY looking forward to the whole story and will definitely be with you throughout this journey!
Honestly I am of course curious aout Bella's motivation to do this, but for tactical reasons I would advise to not lift the secret yet but only within the story or as an outtake later on.
Yes, Edward may have egoistical reasons, but since he has already agreed ith Vick to tone it down a bit, this shows that he is a man with moral and a certain understanding for things! So he is not a helpless case and I'm quite sure that his motivation will not be the only case among all the other applicants!
To make a long story short: I LOVE IT and will stay on board :)
Author's Response: Thanks a lot for reading and reviewing. I'm so glad you enjoyed the first glimpse at my new story. I'm working on the next few chapters, but I'm afraid it's going to take a while before I can start posting. I promise, I'll update as soon as I can. Bella's reasons will be revealed in her chapters. As for Edward, he won't be with Vick again, I promise. I can't stand to read stories where Edward or Bella are with other people when they could or should be together instead. Since this is happening before he meets her, it's okay in my book. And the motivation, well, if you go back and read the part with Demetri again, Edward - as well as the others - didn't know there was any money involved until after they were chosen, so that can only be a secondary reason. Something else must have made people participate in the casting before money became and issue. I'm really looking forward to this new journey with you.

It is a start, I would say ;) Edward IS a nice guy when he does not try to get Bella into the sheets... They do have a long road in frint of them, but I am sure that you will not leet them be on different paths all too long.
Mh I can't really guess in what exact moment they are right now, but maybe a real small argument between the two?
Looking forward to the next chap :)
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Yes, Edward can be nice but somehow his mouth tends to run away from him, lol. I promise I'll get them together eventually but it will take some more time. See you Monday with the next update.
Date: 22 Dec 2015 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Debts of Honor
Yay, first chapter! Seems like Edward picks up well on the challenge and we already know that his plan will work... His parents will probably ne quite shocked, but the have to accept it in the end, so they'll calm down.
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming story,when will the next chapter come?I
Dir und deiner Familie aber nun erstmal ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und besinnliche Tage!
Liebe Grüße,
Bella89
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Well, let's say his parents aren't anticipating his announcement, lol. Chapter 2 will be up Monday. Vielen Dank. I hoffe, Du hattest schöne Feiertage. Unsere waren gefüllt mit Essen und Familie, wie jedes Jahr ;).
Date: 17 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Here Comes the Bride - And Groom
Hehe now it's gettin interesting :)
I liked the bachelorette party very much, and the presents are good ideas and I'm sure once Edward and Bella will be over the first hurdles, they are gonig to make use of them sooner or later :P
That Bella tried on 20 dresses that she did not like does not really fit with her I think, but in the end she found what she wanted so that's perfect of course!
The wedding itself was ok and a good start. I suppose Edward already knows that things with Bella won't always go his way when she didn't let him kiss her, so this will repeat itself when he will try to make the most of the first night as a married "couple". I suppose that Bella will try to get out of his way and I really like him calling her "Spice" which may be a good nickname for her. I'm curious how she will react to this and whether she can resist him at night.
What I'm interested in the most is whether she will find out about Edward's true motivation to do all this, and I sincerely hope that this will happen before they fall in love since this will only cause drama... I think that we are going to ahve ewnough drama with these characters, so I cross my fingers that you'll spare them from this special one ;)
See you nect time!
Bella89
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading sharing your thoughts. Well, I had Bella try on all those dresses because I love watching "Say Yes To The Dress" and that's the way it mostly goes, lol. But what was important was that she made her own choice in the end. I agree, Edward will have realized by now that Bella's not a pushover, and if not, he'll find out soon ;). Well, I can't give away too much but I assure you, Bella will find out about Edward's plot in due time. What's a story without a little drama ;). See you Monday.
Date: 19 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - A Girl Can Dream
I like Bella very much :) She is a down-to-eartch person that will not accept any of Edward's hassles :P I think they match up perfectly since they both know where they are and where they want to go (even if it is not the same direction at the moment), so it will not shatter them if things would not work out in the end. This is a good basis and because they are independant enough they will learn that together some things are just nicer than doing them alone.
Looking forward to the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I'm really glad you're liking Bella so far. She's quite different from the ones I've written before. But in this case, I'm sure different is good. Considering what kind of Edward we're dealing with here, Bella needs to have her wits about her to not let him steamroller her. Next up, we'll meet the rest of Bella's gang and learn why Jake will be the one walking her down the aisle. See you in two weeks.
Date: 16 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - Changing My Course
The conversation with Jake was ok I'd say. The two of them will get together over their love for Bella, but I'm quite sure that as soon as Jake knows the truth, he's going to gove Edward his opinion on it, no matter the status of him and Bella at that moment :D
Emmett is my super hero, he's getting Edward see the truth and will be his counselor when the shit hits the fan... Although I must admit that I believe there's a small chance that Bella will see that where Edward's initial motivation was not real, it has turned out to become his real life with a good reason for it - love :) I think she has seen the changes he's made and that he went from mostly cocky to a calmer and loving Edward who is cocky in the right moments ;) But Edward is right that he must prove his feelings to Bella prior to telling her the whole truth. Only if they established that both of them want to stay with the other, she will listen to the whole story and not head out after the revelation....
See you in two weeeks!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. You have lots of great ideas in there, and you'll find out soon what that's going to mean. See you Monday for the next update.
Date: 01 Sep 2016 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - Perfect Date
Wow! Here happened a lot and for now I'm glad about it :) Chances are high that Bella and Edward will make it through the upcoming rough times (I suppose they will start soon). They are clear on their feelings for the other and I hope that they can overcome these insecurities with regrad to each other!
Edward really did a number with the date he arranged and I loved this scene!
The fact that Marcus wants to sell the restaurant is a grest opportunity for Bella and I'm really curious for the talk with Edward about this.
Who the teller of these words is I absolutely don't know! I suppose it happens on the party, but who will be there? Suprise, surprise... ;)
See you in a fortnight!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. I'm so happy you liked the date. I wouldn't mind going on one of those myself ;). As for the teaser, I'll give you a little bit more here: we're in Bella's head and she's talking to a person we haven't yet met. However, I guess you already figured it out, but next chapter is going to be pivotal. See you then.
Date: 13 Sep 2016 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - False Pretenses
Wow - this was a hell of chapter! The way Bella took things was really cool - I'm damn proud of her that she did not just shut down completely and not seeing what is happening around her.
It's good that she watched the interaction of the friends and THANK GOD for this moment in the bedroom at the end!! Before taking such a heavy decision, she should really talk to him and get all information from him first hand. Jim is an ass and I'm fairly sure that Vic will know this in due time. And she's SO going to rip him a new one... I really look forward to this :D
Now with Edward and Bella - yes, they still have a bumpy road ahead of them, but now that Bella knows his feelings are sincere, she took some lift off her shoulders. I think Edward knows she returns his feelings, so this will make things a BIT easier, nevertheless Edward sill still have to explain everything from the beginning.
I'm curious to see what happens the next morning and when they are really going to talk... So, I hope that your schedule allows you the time to write ;)
See you!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. I'm really glad you liked the chapter. My initial outline had Bella crying herself to sleep after one last round of farewell sex with Edward and demanding a divorce the next morning. That's not going to happen now. As for the talk they need to have, that will have to wait until after the decision show, but Edward will have to come clean after doing something kind of stupid to show Bella he's really in this for her. See you next chapter.
Date: 30 Sep 2016 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 - Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures
YES!!!! THANK YOU!!! :) Thanks for not having my imagination come true!! I'm SO glad that Bella and Edward could sort this through! At least for now ;) They stay married and confessed their love to each other, this is the basis for everything that follows now. I think that Edward's honesty supports his words towards Bella. After all she could have changed her mind the morning after and could have thought that he still lied to her... I think that it just substantiates his statement of love and shows that he is really serious about his love. After all money was his only incentive for the show so by relinquishing the money there would be no other reason left!
I really look forward to the talk, because now they can speek freely about everything that has happened in the past days - Edward still doesn't know about the happenings at the restaurant and the other guys must be informed as well. I suppose that the "four" mentioned people are the three guys plus Bella? I'm fairly sure that they will work this out - together as a team! YAY!
I'm just SO glad that the "secured the knot" - yes, there will be further bumps in the road, but they love each other and will support each other, this is sure :)
See you in a fortnight!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I'm glad you liked Edward and his grand gesture, even though it wasn't necessary. Bella knows now she's his top priority. See you next chapter for a little pillow talk.
Date: 20 Jul 2016 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 - Getting Into The Groove
Soooooo, YAY!! That's just great and I like the two of them actually getting along :) It's good that they shared something about their dreams and work, that even brings them closer together.
The only constant fear I still have is the moment Bella finds out about Edward's original motivation for the show... I'm mpretty sure this will be devastating for her since she is building trust - that will definitely ruin this! But for now let's enjoy the nicer times and see what happens next :)
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Well, they have only two weeks left of the show until they have to decide to stay married of get a divorce. If Edward can keep his secret until after that, then maybe things will work out. See you next week.
Date: 02 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - Would You Rather
I suppose he realizes that they are falling in love with each other :) Or at least that Bella has opened up to him a lot and that this is starting to get him involved deeper that he anticipated? But it's about their feelings for each other, that's for sure ;)
I liked this chapter! Jake is caring for Bella and this is positive for him, at least from Edward's response (who knows what he thought in this moment...). I also liked the gane since it's something different for a change!
BUT I really would like to now when Edward's secret comes out *dun dun dun*...... :D
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. There will be another Jake-Edward convo in the morning and this one will be from EPOV. It's going to be quite entertaining. As for the game, since I never played any of those drinking games, I had to google it. I'd love to play too some time, but I guess I'm too old :(. The secret, well, I guess it will come out some time ;). See you Monday with the next chapter.
Date: 22 Dec 2016 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25 - Home Is Where the Heart Is
I'm really speechless at this point ;) ...speechless at this wonderful final of the story and that everything turned out well for Bella and Edward. What Edward has done for her is incredible and shows how close the two of them have grown. Now they can really enjoy their lives and become an even better couple!
What I like so much about your story is that their personalities are realistic and no one acts totally weird or excessive. When Bella hears that Seth hacked into her account, she's irritated but not mad - and that's what makes up a good relationship in my opinion!
I'm really looking forward to the further outtakes, the epilogue and whatever else escapes your mind ;) You did great again with this story and of course I voted for it (along with TBL).
Now have a wonderful Christmas with your family and enjoy the holidays!
See you around!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's really encouraging to hear that you liked the personality growth and how their relationship turned out. Thank you as well for voting for my stories in the TFFAs. I can't believe TBL actually finished third for Best Snuggle Fic.
The epi will be up in a few days. See you then.
Date: 05 Jan 2017 Title: Chapter 26: Original Outline
I'm glad you chose it the way you published it! I think it's far more realistic and it did a lot for their relationship. To be open and honest is so important and I loved how Bella changed her mind upon hearing Edward's declaration of love!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Even though I wasn't sure at first which way to go, I'm really happy with the way it all turned out, and I'm glad you agree.
Bella Swan was dreading going back to her ten year high school reunion, over Valentine’s Day Weekend, for Hillsborough High School. Her time in high school in Tampa, Florida was not high on her list of pleasant experiences. She was quiet, unassuming and secretly in love with Edward Cullen. It was that unrequited love that forced her to move away to Seattle, as far from Tampa as possible. He never knew she existed. Or so she thought.
Edward was looking forward to his high school reunion because he was anxious to see the one that got away. Bella Swan was the quiet girl who never really interacted with anyone, but Edward saw that she was something special. But as ruler of the school, he had certain expectations to maintain. It was one of his biggest regrets. His life would have been easier if he had followed his heart. Now, he was a divorced father of two. His ex-wife, Tanya, who was his high school girlfriend, left him for a younger man and abandoned her children.
Will Bella be happy to see Edward or will she stay hidden amongst her classmates? Will Edward finally break the mold that was expected of him and open up his heart to the beautiful and shy Bella Swan? Will he be able to win back the one that got away?

I think that Bella is going to be the mother that Liam and Lacey need, only Edward and Bella don't say that out loud right now. This is ok because they have to figure some things out first, but I'm sure it is going to happen.
Tanya and Lauren are going to learn that they cannot always do and have what they want. There are rules to follow and no Volturi can take the kids away from Edward! Edward is cautous and this is absolutely right, also he's got Charlie on his side and I think he's a force to be reckoned with ;)
Date: 16 Jan 2017 Title: Chapter 47: Chapter 47
It's good that Bella spent days with each child, this builds up trust and a good relationship! Sun burns happen, unfortunately, and they will vanish, and it's absolutely cute how Bella cares for all of them ;)
I hope that Carlisle really made his mind up now... I'm still waiting for an explanation WHY he thought that Bella is such a mean person.
It will be hilarious to see how Tanya will try to use Bella's real profession as a means to end her relationship with Edward and to learn that he already knows :D However, it will confirm Carlisle's suspicion that she's hiding something. Even if it's not something bad, but they wills till have to explain it to the kids ;) But in the end it will be no drama between Edeard and Bella because of this and hit is major!
Date: 17 Jan 2017 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 48
If Carlisle is sincere about his plan to change his behaviour, he will show Bella and Edward the mail, together with Esme, and they will talk about it BEFORE anything else happens. If he jumps again and rattles about Bella and her bad influence, he will end the relationship with his family immediately. So let's see whether he's any wiser now..... and of course we know who sent this mail :-P
Dr. Edward Masen lived a lonely, miserable existence as an emergency room attending at Harborview Medical Center. He ate, breathed and lived for his job. He refused to even think about women. To him, they were only distractions and he didn't trust anyone, except his mother.
Dr. Isabella Swan just moved to Seattle, after completing her residency in Chicago. She was hired as a pediatrician at Harborview, becoming a pediatric emergency room fellow. She was not looking for a relationship, only focusing on her job. It was hate at first sight for both. Or was it? But, their attraction could not be denied.
Unfortunately, a natural disaster rattles their lives ... the world was turned upside down when escalating earthquakes plagued the Seattle area. Will they able to survive the danger of being on Shaky Ground?

I now caught up on your new story and you got me hooked again ;)
Poor Edward is really suffering from his past... but I'm fairly sure that Bella will help him work through this. She is very patient and already understands that there is more behind. Also I think that Edward will try to hold up the facade of just being fuck buddies, but this will not last long. Especially not if another man may come into the mix and his jealousy comes up :D
They are already treating each other like a couple, only that it's not official... So I keep my fingers crossed that Edward sticks to his thought of living this one life that he has!
As for little Jake, the poor guy really needs a good family so that he will not become like his "family". Hopefully the authorities will make it right...and soon! But I can also see Bella not leaving him and maybe even take him in at some point (much later in the story?)...who knows!
