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?
~Inspired by the show Married at First Sight~

Date: 30 Oct 2016 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - What's Mine Is Yours
I think Bella still should tell Edward, its not good to keep secrets in a marriage. So glad though that things are sort of working out.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Edward will eventually find out, and it will set things into motion. See you next chapter.
Date: 29 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - Wedding Nights and Other Disasters
Yeah well all good things come to those that wait. Edward needs to learn this. I think she sees this when he comes out of the shower or when they are at the beach on their honeymoon.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Well, I think Edward has to learn the art of waiting first. See you next chapter.
Date: 18 Jul 2016 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 - Getting Into The Groove
Great chapter so glad that they are finally talking & getting to know each other. There are still 2 things that may upset Edward's new world with Bella.
1) his friends with benefits girl Tanya.
2) Bella finding out why Edward went on the show in the first place.
1 he'll be able to explain much easier than number 2. He needs to tell her before she finds out some other way.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing on so many sites. It really means a lot. So, yes, he should tell her, but when do men ever do what they should? See you next week.
Date: 23 Dec 2015 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Debts of Honor
Great start. I'm on your Facebook group & have been waiting for this story. Love the show especially season 1 & think you are going to have a lot of fun with this.
Your first chapter was great. Can't wait until Edward has to let everyone know he is getting married to someone he hasn't met.
Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Author's Response: Thank you so much for checking out my new story and leaving me a review. I'm really overwhelmed with the response the first chapter received. This Edward and Bella are embarking on a journey that won't be easy and will certainly have its ups and downs, all with a camera shoved in their faces. I'm really looking forward to finding out how they'll handle that. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2016 will be good to you. See you Monday with chapter 2.
Date: 15 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Here Comes the Bride - And Groom
Loved the bachelorette party & the gifts. They fit the characters perfectly. The wedding was great. Beautiful dress.
I think there is going to be a lot of struggling for both Bella & Edward in the coming 6 weeks. Bella is going to be struggling with her total attraction & the sexual tension that is there between the two. Edward is also going to struggle with keep his heart from falling in love & keeping to his plan.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you enjoyed the party and the wedding. Oh, I assure you there will be some struggling, but it will be fun to watch ;). See you Monday.
Date: 19 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - A Girl Can Dream
Great chapter, loving the story.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you love the story. The characters are so different from the ones I've written before. See you next chapter.
Date: 08 Jun 2016 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - Slow and Steady ... Wins the Date
That was such a sweet date & finally a start in the right direction. Let's hope they keep moving in that direction.
Have a great vacation.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Next up, they'll have some fun. See you Monday.
Date: 15 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - Would You Rather
Loved the sex in the kitchen. So glad Edward took Jake's overprotectiveness well.
I think Edward is realizing he is falling in love with her.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Several readers where concerned about the cleanliness of the kitchen, lol. I'm glad you liked it.
Date: 30 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - Perfect Date
What a great date. Edward did a great job. Big difference from the Edward from the beginning of the story.
I feel so bad for Bella and so scared that she is going to hear about Edward's original plan & not realize that his feelings have changed.
I think Bella is going to hear the original plan from Seth and play it off like she needs the money too. Then break Edwards heart when she tells him that she wants a divorce even though he wants to stay married because he loves her. Which I bet he will tell her on descion day.
Author's Response: So you reviewed this chapter here. I'm sorry for not making the connection. However, 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. By the end of next chapter, you'll know if your predictions are correct ;). However, I guess you already figured it out, but next chapter is going to be pivotal. See you then. xo Payton
Date: 05 Jul 2016 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - The Three Date Rule
This is the sweetest chapter so far. From him trying to make her breakfast of burnt toast & coffee. To them going grocery shopping (many dates at the grocery stores with my now husband but then boyfriend). To baking the pie. Then meeting the parents & having to learn about each other. To them finally getting over the "we need to wait" stage to just going with the mood and moment.
That was a beautiful written lemon too.
I think both of them are falling in love with the other.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and leaving a review. It's a relief to have Edward and Bella finally move on from bickering. And isn't squeezing lemons a much better way to spend time, lol? Next up, Bella will finally get a glimpse of what Edward is really about. See you Monday.
Fear and close-mindedness broke them apart. Will love bring them back together? Will their faith in love be restored? The third installment in the Renovations Trilogy.

Great ending to a sweet sequel.
My name is Bella Swan. I'm 32 and still single. While all my friends have settled down and started their families, I'm still hanging around, looking for Mr. Right. I blame books; they've ruined me and gave me unrealistically high expectations of what my perfect man should be like. How am I supposed to settle down when no one I meet matches up to my book boyfriends?

Are we wrong about James? Is he really just concerned? Either way good thing Rose was there.
Date: 29 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 68: Chapter 68
I hope I'm wrong but is it possible that Edward has split personality or something & is the one that is theartening Bella. Just going by James comment? I hope I'm wrong.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen between Edward & Bella.
Date: 22 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 64: Chapter 64
I sure hope its not Edward with a split personality or something like that. It would have to be someone that lives in the building then, right?
Date: 29 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 66: Chapter 66
I can imagine Edward's panic. But they all could have went to the bathroom.

Of course Bella won't do the smart thing & call Emmet or Edward to tell them what is going on. She'll just rush right over there.
Date: 14 Mar 2016 Title: Chapter 74: Chapter 74
Well at least she tried & she left a note. Still I would not have left without getting a hold of someone.
Date: 15 Mar 2016 Title: Chapter 75: Chapter 75
Oh I am so glad I was wrong. This is going to make Edward sick when he finds out. I just hope the guys find them in time.
Date: 19 Mar 2016 Title: Chapter 76: Chapter 76
Oh Edward is going to see red when he see's James there near Bella. Then when he finds out that he had something to do with Claire's death.

Date: 26 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36
Communication is always the best.
Date: 27 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37
I can understand his reasoning. He's not doing it to be mean. He's being honest.
Date: 28 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38
Yeah Bella needs to learn to talk to Edward.
Date: 29 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Date: 31 Jan 2016 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter 43
OHH this will be very interesting. So glad that he went through counseling. They both need to learn to communicate.

Date: 16 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 58: Chapter 58
I want to know what he's going to do?????
Date: 17 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 59: Chapter 59
I don't see how that is a punishment (LOL) but I guess not getting to have Edward before breakfast would be the punishment.
Date: 02 Mar 2016 Title: Chapter 70: Chapter 70
I'm glad that Bella has come to terms with Edward & his past with Claire.
Happy Birthday & Mother's Day.

Oh I can't wait to read when she goes back to her side of the Cartel & tell them how to do their business. They aren't going to like that.
Date: 07 Apr 2019 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Business Completed
I was so shocked to see that this was complete. I thought we would have at least up to the baby being born. I truly loved this story. Loving both your Edward & Bella, but your whole plot. Thank you for sharing your story.
Date: 04 Jun 2016 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - New York New York
Loved how Bella who went in still unsure, which makes sense this is all new. She was raised not to take an assertive role, just took her strength from Edward and showed that manager who was in charge. So glad that Edward just sat back & let her do it, he was just there for moral support.
Same thing for the pants/skirts glad he realised that he would have not been any better than her father by making her just wearing pants.
These 2 are going to be amazing once Bella gets her groove & confidence. I think though Edward needs to remember that some will not just sit back and let this happen. Bella could become collateral damage if he's not careful.
Date: 25 Jul 2016 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - no trucking way
Wow amazing chapter. Bravo Isabella. Oh loved when Claire walked in. Then the kiss as Bella left yeah that was so good. Charles really is so naïve.
Another part I loved when Edward told Jacob how disgusting he is when Jacob was telling Edward what Claire was good for.
My favorite was the ending though Edward literally took Jacob down a couple notches.
I think Jacob is going to be the problem though, especially if he teams up with the Russians and/or Irish.
Date: 15 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - Suga Suga
I feel like something major is going to happen at the wedding.
Date: 20 Jun 2016 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - grateful for this absence
oh he is a pig. I can't wait for Bella to take him down & Edward to make him suffer slowly.
Date: 23 May 2016 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - fathers and daughters
Wow way to go Bella. She needed to set her father straight.
Date: 10 Jan 2017 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - Royal Dragon
Well Edward gave him many chances.:-)
Date: 12 Mar 2017 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18: a fool in love
I love the poem. Poor Bella she misses Edward, she knows there is something going on with Leah, and then she gets those emails. I'm glad she told him about them. I don't believe he is cheating.
Date: 12 Mar 2017 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 chink in my armour
Great chapter. I was worried there for a minute.
Date: 05 Apr 2017 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Russian Connections
I had no doubts that Edward would handle things. Cannolis with Edward now that sounds yummy.
Date: 27 Jun 2017 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 down to business
I'm still with you and still love this story. I hope you still continue on. I love your story.
Date: 06 Aug 2017 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 - the dreaded rat
Wow a lot of excitment in that chapter. If Bella's pregnant on top of being injured Edward is going to be even more angrier.
