Bio:
Avid reader of fanfic in Twilight and SVM fandoms.
Not a fan of major angst and I need a HEA.
I prefer 'grown ups' to high schoolers but enjoy vamp/AH equally as long as they are well written, have half-decent grammar and are not just a rehash of the original books.
I don't write, but that doesn't stop me being a critic of course ! And credit where it is due, I try to do reviews for the stories I like to keep the inspiration and muse active for those of us able and willing to share their imaginations with the rest of us.
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.

This was an amazing chapter, I loved it. And as soon as I read the 'sleepin with the fishes' line I just had to put Catatonia 'I Am The Mob' on as background music :-)
Thank you.

I think he's pretty clued in, he is going to ask Edward to keep things quiet and not rub Tanya's face in it, while Eleazar introduces her to some other poor sap...
Where is Bella right now ? Can she hear what is going on - does she even know Edward has declared himself and wants to marry her ?
Date: 26 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 213: Chapter 213
Woah, I thought Charlie was maybe getting his head out of his ass when he heard how Jake was talking to his daughter. I guess not. Not sure if Eleazar is earning himself a favour, or if he knows Edward was never really interested in Tanya and isnt going to push him into it.
Date: 24 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 196: Chapter 196
He's an idiot, but of course she will forgive him. Eventually. I just hope he has learned his lesson and talks to her, instead of listening to the likes of Angela and Tanya. Angela might be gone but Tanya is still there and she wants him.

I don't think his loyalties really are with Angela, he is just saying that to stop Bella running her mouth and causing trouble. I hope.

Hm, if he is away for a whole month, might give Jake an opportunity to come back and for Charlie to have made some local cop friends...
Date: 26 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 210: Chapter 210
Well it's taken him far too long, but it seems like Charlie is finally catching on to what a bastard Jake is - I wonder how much of his thoughts so far have been influenced by Jake's lies ? And as for Edward, how is he going to put that back in the box ?
Rating this one 10 just for Jake getting punched !
Date: 14 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 97: Chapter 97
I think Edward is going to have to revise his opinion of Bella and soon, and I think Tanya is going to be pushing meals at him every night !
Date: 15 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 104: Chapter 104
I cant decide if I want him to er finish what he is doing and then see her, or see her before and totally freak out and fall over so she feels like she has to pick him up and she gets all wet and falls on him and it turns into a Marx Brothers worthy farce. I think a bit of funny, Edward is way too tense usually.
Date: 16 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 113: Chapter 113
Sounds like Jasper is impressed with Bella's wise words and Edward is equally impressed with her finger lickin good cake. Has he got a little bit frosting, just there...
Date: 16 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 114: Chapter 114
I think he didn't like the idea of Jasper tasting Bella's cake. Edward wants Bella's cake all to himself...
Date: 16 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 115: Chapter 115
Good news for Jasper and Alice, not so good for Angela. I wonder how she will react. Not well, I am thinking. Bella could have some fun with this.
Date: 21 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 167: Chapter 167
Well I for one am loving all this 'shit' ! its great to know what he was thinking back then, cos at the time I really wanted to know. And if we dont know what he was thinking up to now, how can we understand what he does next ? You write it, I'll read it. And enjoy it. Anyone who doesnt like it, well they know where the door is. You have got 1500+ reviews, dont worry about it.
Date: 23 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 191: Chapter 191
I want to know how Angela knows any of that - its not like Bella would tell her anything about Jake, or anything about anything. Maybe Bella told some of the other girls and Angela overheard, then decided to twist it around and cause trouble, cos she's like that. I'm glad Edward's first reaction is to not believe it.

Considering how Charlie seems to not want to acknowledge her existence most of the time, I don't understand why they are going to such lengths to cause trouble for her - unless she is about to come into a trust fund or inheritence they want control of by making her seem unfit ? I really do hate this Charlie and Jake, can we get rid of them soon please. I'm glad they had the talk, both talks, she will become much more confident as as girlfriend and sub, knowing that Edward wants all of her.
Author's Response:
Well now seems like the major majority of you are all kinds of happy with Bella and Edward and how their progressing together. We love it, Bella is finding her strength in Edward, but Edward is gaining and coming into a deeper strength too. Many of you want redemption right away against Charlie and Jacob and the rest of the bad apples, and it will come, it’s still simmering and the dish of revenge is not quite ready to be served. Next two chapters we will be given the honor of meeting Renee. The way the story is going on our side there will be no more than 25 chapters total. We have 18 written, and working on 19 and 20 now. As soon as we are done, we will start posting faster. I assure you that wrapping this story is one of our top priorities. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~
Teaser: Vicky smiles at me and then looks at Bella. “If you get tired of his old ass, call me,” she says as she hands her number to my girl.
I glare at Vicky.
“Oh, don’t pout, Edward. I will see your girl every Thursday from now on.”
I shake my head at Vicky, who is grinning widely.
I guide Bella out of the office, but then hear Vicky calling out for me. I turn and look at her.
“Tell James I’m ready for my second shot.”
I tilt my head and Vicky wiggles her eyebrows at me.
I smirk, shaking my head. “Will do, Vicky. Have good day.” I walk Bella out and see she’s still holding in her laughter. “It’s okay, Little Girl, you can laugh. What did you think of Vicky, Little Girl?”
Bella smiles at me. “Sir, your girl thinks she is nice, but she seems like she walks to the beat of her own drum.”
I chuckle. “Little girl, Vicky has her own orchestra. Let’s go to lunch.”
One time, no matter how hot or sexy was not enough. We both knew it. So he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. For the next year my body would belong to Edward R Cullen; the billionaire, the genius, the sex addict and the married man. How did I get here and why don't I want to leave?

Another fail for Tanya :-) Charlie got pretty short shrift and Bella gained a potential ally in Carlisle. Not what she was hoping for. Finally, it can be most empowering to be in a business meeting without knickers on, and that's all I am saying !
Edward Cullen is a famous movie star as is his girlfriend Tanya, the mother of his child. Their son is a week old and can't seem to keep any formula down. Annoyed by the crying and finding motherhood tedious, Tanya takes off for the spa and a commercial shoot leaving Edward alone with their newborn.
After trying nearly every formula on the market, Esme, Edward's sister suggests breast milk. It seems like a long shot, but when Bella Swan answers the unusual ad, Edward thinks all of his problems are solved. His son is doing well, but he has a new problem, an undeniable attraction for the woman who saved his son's life.

I would think the hospital needs parental consent to treat Charlie. So, cops to the hotel room yes ? It is an emergency after all. No publicity is bad publicity right Tanya... Sorry if Edward is an innocent here, but unless he is drugged or otherwise incapacitated he should have checked in. He is at the very least weak and allowed Tanya to manipulate him for press attention. Priorities Edward - Charlie comes first.
Date: 02 Oct 2015 Title: Chapter 100: Chapter 16 Part 8
Might be a duplicate - my original c100 review disappeared...
I think the hospital will need parental consent to treat Charlie. As phones are off and its an emergency that means cops to the hotel which will put Tanya right where she belongs - in trouble, with the press watching ! Though of course she will try to spin it to make herself look good.
Unless Edward is drugged or tied to a chair, he should have called. Even if Tanya begs otherwise. He is letting her manipulate him through guilt or in trying to make a family, but he should have realised by now that won't ever happen. Tanya is never going to be a mommy. But that's okay, Charlie already has one...
Edward has a fetish that no one else in the world knows about. Except the thousands of followers on his anonymous blog. What happens when Bella works out who 'The Body ' is.
Ths was my submission to the twkink 2015 fest.

Oh Charlie, you are making a really big mistake being led by gossip instead of trusting your wife and daughter. Very poor business practice never mind how shitty you are being as a dad, It's not going to end well...
Date: 07 May 2017 Title: Chapter 54: Chapter 54
Go Renee ! Charlie is being a total fail as CEO as husband and as dad, in this. Maybe it really is time to step down, but not for Aro 'cos lets face it, Aro is toast.
Loving this - apart from Charlie, but Renee will sort him out ;-)
And hopefully Bella will sort Edward out, before he implodes with guilt.

I haven't forgiven Charlie yet, he was willing to betray his company and his family rather than be honest with them. Renee though is nominated for a Superstar Mom award 😀
Glad Bella was able to talk Edward around before he imploded, she is on the Superstar podium with Renée.
So long Aro !
Shy, reserved Edward has a little too much Jack Daniels after finding his fiancée cheating on him. Waking up the next morning in a strange woman’s bed, he fights the pull he feels for her. Will he realize they're fated for each other, or will he only focus on their differences?
***So that you know up front, this story has been pulled after the first chapter. It still makes a lemony-filled one shot if you want to read it as-is. If you're interested in the published version, you can find me in the Amazon store under my real name, Lara Norman.***

how did they never run into one another until now ? And who has a room to rent ? Please not Jake ! Renee - she might be lovely but she would drive me insane. I have a million questions ! (which is good, cos it means its not predictable). Cant wait to find out some answers as it develops.
Author's Response: Because he lives on base, and is only home on weekends or during leave. He would have been with Jane. The cabin is owned by Sam's dad. I can answer some questions, don't be afraid to ask! Of course, some people don't really want answers early but are speculating, so that's okay too.
Earthquakes so rarely occur in the Pacific Northwest that the phenomenon causes the members of the Quileute tribe to investigate. They never would have expected to find her. She is stubborn, wild, and fiercely independent, and she willfully goes against everything they try to teach her. Especially when it comes to staying away from vampires. AU/Supernatural

Love this start, what a great premise. It makes me wonder who arranged the adoptions and why they split up the girls. A sinister sociological experiment perhaps ? I doubt it's going to be simple incompetence, it was a deliberate act, but why ? Hmmm...
And in the summary 'corrupting' their lives - thats an odd word to use, I cant quite fit the definition of corrupting to the behaviour or impact of children, so Im very intrigued to see how that plays out.
A week to wait for an update is going to feel like forever !
