AH/Canon couples. NC-17 for a reason (I mean, it’s me for crap’s sakes!). Language (again, it’s me). Shifting perspectives, and unusual twists. Who doesn’t love a beach getaway?

What a good premise for a story... and, unfortunately, a timely one for me. But enough of that. There's something intriguing about being cast in a role - or doing the same activities - as an established couple (esp. when you aren't one at all) that puts electricity into the air no matter what, and I love the evil twist of the set-up, care of both exes. Am really looking forward to how this one plays out.

That last paragraph... oh, yes.

"She might be Miss La La, but I’m not going to be Mr. Bye Bye." "I love a woman who can multitask."
And I love an author who can make me laugh. Thanks.

Deftly written, all the while dodging so many cliches. Well done, and thank you for maintaining the integrity of the characters during a perilous plot shift.

Purty writin', Missy :)

Really appreciate the ending; thanks for not tying everything into a neat little suburban bow.
As always, you must know that you could continue this charming storyline, if you wish...

Thank you again for another beautifully written story. You are so skilled at balancing acts: the exposition of a crime plot that doesn't get bogged down in details, or veer towards gratuitous gore, or even melodramatic silliness; the gentle humor and playfulness that develops between Bella and Edward... moving along their love story by example vs. description (yay!), in the midst of all the tension that surrounds them as they are on the run. The image of Harold strolling down the beach in an old sundress is one that I will pull out on a rainy day when I need a good belly laugh. Seriously, though, every "side" character you introduce is believable and necessary, and makes the story seem that much tighter.
No pressure, but I can only hope that you will be inspired to write more & to write often. The dynamics between your Edwards and your Bellas are some of my favorites that I've ever read in ff, and I've fallen in love with them as easily and as naturally as they fell for each other.
Well, it's obvious that I am certainly a fan of your fiction. Cheers to you!
Bella's an exchange student hoping to find a job to keep herself employed for the summer, so that she can stay on at an exclusive University. Her best job prospect is a part-time housekeeping position with one Mr. Cullen.

Thank you for this delicious story. The UST was off the charts (my kind of slow burn, indeed); Edward was just the right combination of mysterious, dominating and possessive (without crossing into creepy or pathological); Alice was lively, not crazed; and Bella managed to be sweet but not sacharine, smart and indepedent without being jaded. You write so well that I never found myself wishing there were more characters or environments introduced. You have my sincere gratitude for not creating some ridiculous, melodramatic calamity from left field that they must overcome; instead, you trusted your characters' internal conflicts to be enough... yet another sign of a superior author. So again, thank you very much for one of the best reads I've enjoyed in quite some time. And if I ever get to enjoy meals similar to dinnertime chez Cullen, I will never complain about slaving away at a hot stove again.
