I hadn't read this one before. Sad, but so good.
The Few. The Proud. The Strong. Returning Marine Edward Masino has spent the first years of his adult life embodying that motto. But as he moves back to the Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up, he is introduced to a whole new code of ethics. He quickly learns that some rules cry out to be bent, but there are others that, if broken, will get him killed.
*Drama. Humor. Romance. Hurt. Friendship. Crime, you name it. It's listed Drama/Romance, but there are many facets. EVENTUAL Canon Couples (Rome wasn't built in a day) Edward/Bella.

I love when you update this story. Something is obviously going down with Carlisle and CJ. Hmmmm

That was good to hear Edward's thoughts on his time in the service. It's such a part of who he is, so that gave us some good insight. I also think he's probably right about Bella having depression, but is it from trauma or chemical?
Good chapter (of course :o)!

Hopefully these two will learn some communication skills! Geez!
Another great chapter (as well as the last 8...I had to catch up :o).

I'm glad they really are back on track (for now, (sigh)). The baby is coming soon, right?

Another couple of good chapters. Poor Bella...I hope Edward convinces her to see a therapist.
I hope readers aren't giving you a hard time when there's a delay. If they do, I hope you are able to ignore them. Just remember that most of us respect that you have an actual life to live and sometimes that means a delay. It's called life. We get it. :o)

I just got caught up with the last several chapters. I'm so glad to see this updated. They are finally moving forward.
Cj, huh, that guy reallllly sounds like bad news. It's nice to see that Edward won't go down paths he's not comfortable with, even though he isn't always sure what he's doing. I like that he believes in his own ability to make rational decisions.
I just started getting myself updated on the last (5) Storm chapters and then got kicked off the internet (I was at a hospital). So, I have to finish those last 3 tonight, so I'll be all caught up. Such great stories...all of them! :o)

Just caught up with the last several chapters. Things are getting interesting.
I don't understand the Bella hate either. She's a bit emotional and immature, but she's also very young and is in need of a good therapist. She's not a bad person though, just flawed. I don't understand reading stories a person doesn't like either. I never leave bad reviews, I just move onto something else.
I really like this story. Even though it's a mob story, it's very different from the Storm series (which I love!). I like that it's different and the characters are different. Keep up the good writing and ignore the haters. :0)

This story is so great! It was difficult reading what Jake did to Bella, but I'm so glad Edward was able to figure out what was really going on and I'm sooooo glad he took care of that problem! ;o) It's funny, because I'm mostly a pasifist, but when someone abuses women/children, that goes out the window. I just can't help it.
I was getting caught up last night on FF (I hadn't read for a few days) and then, the story disappeared. So glad I could read it here. I always review your stories as Guest on FF, cause I never remember my password. ;o) But, I've been following you since early on in Quiet Storm and love them all. It pisses me off that people give you a hard time about updates. Firstly, because you are one of the most consistent with updates, and, secondly, we aren't paying to read your great stories, so what is there to complain about? Some people are just a-holes! Please ignore them and know you have SO MANY fans of your stories who respect your time. Whenver you update Storm and Offbeat, I'll be there to read them, but in the meantime, I'm loving this story! Thank you for sharing your gift!

Glad to see these folks back. I'm anxious to see where you take this story. So good!

Glad to see you back!
Good chapters. I'm glad to see E & B FINALLY really talking. They need to teach more Communication 101 over there in Jersey! ;o)

So, sometimes stupid shit pops into my head at weird times...like when I first wake up. I think in my review from chapter 67 I referred to them living in Jersey, even though I know it's Brooklyn. I do know my tri state area, because I lived in NYC for about four years. I can only blame it on the late hour/being tired. ;0)
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Poor Edward. ;o)
I always enjoy catching up on this story.

That was great! He's so adorable with her...so sensitive to her needs, her history. :o)

Welcome back! I'm curious to see how things play out with CJ arrested. :o)
Date: 18 Jul 2013 Title: Chapter 96: Chapter 96
Wow, he is changing. I hope Jasper never loses that disgust for that part of the job. I hope Edward can get back on track with Bella. :o(
(I always have faith in you and your stories. :o)
Date: 27 Jul 2013 Title: Chapter 101: Chapter 101
Wow! That surprised me a bit. I wonder what Riley wanted Jasper for...or did Colleoni just set him up? Hmmm
I think Bella is gonna pop soon! :o)
