Bio:
I am a "Mature" woman who admittedly is obsessed with Robert Pattinson and The Twilight Saga much to the chagrin of my family. Thankfully, they let me indulge in my favorite past time of reading twilight fan fiction stories.
I would love to be able to write like all these wonderful authors but haven't had enough talent or confidence to write. Maybe one day but for now, happy just to have the opportunity to read these incredible stories!
Taking place in 17th century Europe, Princess Isabella, only daughter of King Charles I of Spain, faces her fate as her arranged marriage to Prince Edward, future King of England, approaches. The Prince is known for his indiscriminate cavorting with the ladies of his land, leading the Princess to fear that she will suffer the same fate as her mother and many other queens before and since, to be trapped in a loveless marriage to an unfaithful husband. Will Princess Isabella ever find happiness while bound to the fate of her birth? AH/OC/Eventual Lemons
Warning: This will be an NC17 story for later chapters.

Very nice! This must be the calm before the Tanya storm!
Date: 01 Jun 2010 Title: Chapter 24: Clandestine Meetings
The plot thickens. We were all so eager to blame Tanya for all of the mischief although I do believe a lot of what Tanya said or believed was all in her head. Edward fooled around with her but I don't think he ever said he'd rather have married her instead of his presumed "cold fish".
Can't wait to hear Tanya's secrets!
Date: 06 Jun 2010 Title: Chapter 25: Manipulation and Punishment
Well, there had to be a way for James to figure into this...glad to see his person did not disappoint. I think Carlisle did a fine job in his assessment as well as his punishment. I would have had James beheaded immediately and have it be public, especially for Tanya's family so they know the crown means what it says.
Great chapter and thank you for answering some questions. Sorry to hear that it may be ending soon but I'm sure you'll wrap it up in the wonderful way you write. Maybe the epilogue can be when Edward has ruled for 60+ years and is on his deathbed with Bella next to him and they can both go together like the notebook. I've heard that it is a common phenomenon that true lovers sometimes follow each other quickly in death and die from a broken heart.
Good job and good luck this week. I think it may be easier to deal with 2 small children than the 1 big one...just sayin'!

What happens at Charlie's wedding is hot and unforgettable for Bella Swan. Charlie's best man has her moaning and melting everywhere from her father's living room to the coat closet at the rehearsal dinner. But great no-strings-attached sex suddenly becomes complicated. And what will happen when Bella meets someone else who just happens to be the best man's son?

First, I want to tell you how much I really enjoyed this story. I originally thought this would be a B&E story and I was "uncomfortable" realizing it wasn't going to be and B would end up with C. I almost stopped reading it since I have a difficult time seeing Edward with anyone other than Bella and Angela just did not do it for me.
That being said, I can honestly say I was surprised with this story and it really got my mind out of the "Twilight" mind set. I can see this being an original story with just a simple name change to the characters.
Really good job and thank you for sharing your talent.
Author's Response:
It really does mean a lot to me when readers continued with the story even being die hard B/E fans. I love that you gave it a chance and really liked it in the end. Honestly, Angela didn't do it for me either, but I was running out of options!
And thanks for thinking it could be an orginal story. I have no plans (yet) to try it out, but maybe in the future.
If you're interested, I do have another fic I'm working on entitled Playing With Fire. It should be out in the next couple of weeks. Hope you keep an eye out for it!
Bella finds out she's pregnant, but Edward wants nothing to do with it...it doesn't fit his plans! She moves on...Will time make Edward want to be in their lives before the baby is born? Will they find their way back to each other - AH/lemons later NC-17 RATING FOR VOILENCE IN LATER CHAPTERS.

That wasn't so bad. Bella & Alce deserved to be punished for keeping something this big. Alice's safety was involved so no matter what, she should have at least told Jasper. I think Edward overreacted just a little but that's Edward.
Goodjob....I think it's fine!

Hmmm....are V&J nice in this story or should I start worrying?? I know B is stubborn and that's why E won't push for her living with him plus she's got her job.

Oohh!!! Bella is in trouble (and I think she likes it!). Can't wait to see what happens next....I think it may be labeled NSFW!!
Author's Response:
thanks for the review - you may be right!
Date: 14 May 2010 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24
OK, you wanna know what I think?? Gloss over her 1st week at work...unless it's really instrumental to the story line. Yadda Yadda, she goes to work, she's wonderful, she loves it, she comes home. Hopefully, the creepy neighbors lay low or don't do anything to hurt Bella.
Maybe pick it up on Thursday or Friday before the boys arrive??? Both POV's would be great and then....onto the collaring ceremony and punishment. I do think Edward should cut her some slack since no ceremony or collaring had taken place yet and she is a free person so although it would have been nice for Bella to "inform" Edward (not ask permission), she chose not to so Edward shouldn't punish her too much; just enough to get his point across.
I like a Domward but I love a Sweetward as well. Him calling her baby and his little girl gets me reminiscing....aww...to be 20 something again!
Author's Response:
HEY! Stop reading over my shoulder!! *winks* yeah the Baby thing gets me too. I'm busy with next chapter - will update soon. Thanks for the constructive review btw.

Date: 28 May 2010 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Hmmm....Maybe Edward needs to repeat the words he gave to Bella. Yes, he has every right to be angy but she's learning and she did tell him, albeit eventually.
She asked him if he wanted her to leave and he didn't answer her. He told her to go to her sub room but now she's contemplating running?? Damn...these to get me so frustrated!
Update when you can...need to know what's happening!
Author's Response:
Personally, I just want to give them a bottle of tequella and say get on with it!!
Thanks for the review - I appreciate it.

Fan-effing-tactic! This was one of my favorite chapters! BIG surprise that James doesn't have a past - not!
Love the "shock" Mona & Riley are in now that they realize Edward is Bells's boyfriend.
I laughed re: teenage waiteress reaction. I'm old enough to know better & I'd be either a red faced mute or a blathering idiot!
Great chapter & cannot wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response:
thanks Hon!
Author's Response:
TEASER FOR CHAPTER 29
“P-pardon?” Bella felt faint. This is bad! This is really, really bad!
Mona looked at her as if she was in awe, “Sit down Bella, you don’t look so well.’’
Bella groped her way to one of the chairs in front of Mona’s desk.
Riley cleared his throat, “Your face says it all. When I went outside to ask the photographers what they were doing here, one of the guys that I have become sort of friendly with informed me that they were not here for me, but for you. It seems that your secret is out.” He raised an eyebrow.
Bella felt her stomach heave. She put a hand over her mouth and ran to the little bathroom adjacent to Mona’s office.
She made it just in time as her stomach was emptied of it’s contents. Bella sat sweating on the floor for a moment with her head leaning against the toilet bowl.
My secret is out? Oh my god! Do they know about what Edward and I are? Have I ruined his career? His life?
Her jumbled thoughts were racing around in her head.
What had she done?
Her phone vibrated as she was rinsing out her mouth. She answered it with a shaking hand.
“y-yes?” she whispered.
“Bella?”
“Edward…” she closed her eyes as she heard his voice. She could feel the tears well up in her eyes and she felt the hot trail down her cheeks.
Date: 18 Jun 2010 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Very good! Love how Bella doesn' take Edward's crap and he knows it! A little concerned on the Jacob situation but I'm sure you'll explain more later.
Thanks for the update....looking forward to reading more and how Aro plans on "handling" Edward and how Bella's life will be upended cause you know it will!
Author's Response:
I hear you :)
Date: 27 Jun 2010 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30
Thanks for the update! Really good. Somglad Bella is adjusting as well as she is and not giving Edward a lot of drama.
Author's Response:
yeah...then I should be apologising for the next few chapters...sorry in advance..
Date: 03 Jul 2010 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31
Damn...just when I thought Bella would finally catch a break and get her HEA! Jacob & James together can only equal evil. If I were Bella, I would stay at Edward's house immediately and have round the click security.
I am fearful for what's going to happen next. Please go easy on us, okay?
Author's Response:
she will have her HEA - just not yet - and as for J & J - well I have plans for them...heh! Heh! Heh!
A little faith, please...
Date: 10 Jul 2010 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32
That was awesome! Just what they both needed. I guess this is the calm before the storm?
Glad Edward is home. Maybe he can convince Bella to move in right away & also deal with James & Jacob once and for all!
Author's Response:
thank you so much!! a little bit of patience :)
Date: 17 Jul 2010 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33
What a wonderful chapter! Everything flowed so well, nothing forced nor used just to sex things up. I thought every scene you wrote made perfect sense!
Glad Bella agreed to leave her hellhole & let Edward take care of things. I am concerned about James & Jacob. I knew Jacob hurt Bella and she went to Italy to escape him. Didn't realize Jacob abused and raped her as well. Do hope the both of the get their comuppence.
Also glad Edward is not going to leave Bella unprotected.
What a wonderful update....I look forward to the notifications!!
Author's Response: You leave the greatest reviews! Next week you will find out what those two freaks (J&J) are up to!! thanks again
Date: 24 Jul 2010 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34
Poor Bella...I hope Esme is crying because no one has ever done this for her and it's tears of appreciation.
What's with Carmen & Eleazar? What in the world happened that caused that kind of reaction? Please, do tell!
Figuring their children, James & Tanya are the same James that was Bella's neighbor?? No wonder James is out for revenge!
Cannot wait for the next update!
Author's Response:
Well the small Napa community was rocked with the scandel and the Denali's fled in shame and now they are back. should that be an out take? - the night of the dinner at home with Carlisle and Esme?
let me know what you think ...
Michele
Date: 31 Jul 2010 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 35
That was an awesome, exciting,passionate, loving, sexy, romantic perfect chapter. I knows Esme wasn't mad at Bella but more overwhelmed and grateful for the unselfish act Bella did for her.
Thank you for not bringing trauma or angst into the chapter. It was so nice to read a love story..
Author's Response:
thank you - hey there's got to be a little loving sometimes, right? Saving the drama for next week (heads up :) )
Date: 08 Aug 2010 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36
I get the turning point. I winder if a sub/Dom relationship is the best for them. Maybe they can "play" but Edward can be a little less dominating or maybe give her a bit more leeway.
Don't know if I could stop the jealousy, possessiveness or claiming Bella feels at these parties. Sometimes I think these women are there to "test" the subs and want them to screw up.
I get that Bella may have messed up a bit at the parties but my opinion is that Edward didn't take care of Bella as well as he could have. Touching her in front of Vanessa, reprimanding her when talon lady kissed Edward & he did nothing to stop.....sorry, to me, both are at fault.
However, I love your story and you know more than me as I have no clue on bdsm communities. I bow to your knowledge and will continue to enjoy your story!!
Author's Response:
OMG - please don't bow to my knowledge - that would be dangerous and scary. They were both wrong - and they need to fix it. bella also has to make a decision.
Date: 21 Aug 2010 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38
That was intense....on so many levels!! Glad they are communicating & learning from each other; so important.
I think the reason Edward is feeling uneasy, worried or anxious is he is extremely close to Bella and I believe with that sort of connection, you almost pick up on their vibe or instinct. Edward is worried because he knows there is something out there threatening him & Bella. He's not aware specifically that bits James & Jacob but his subconscious knows & that's were the anxiety is coming from. I hope he goes with his gut and ensures safety measures are put in place discretely. No use worrying Bella but he should voice his concerns to the guys as well as Kate & Rose. Extra eyes & ears never hurt!
Author's Response:
thank you so much for your review - start of the weekend is up next :)
Date: 29 Aug 2010 Title: PEOPLE LIKE US
You know I luv you and you know how much I adore this story, right? But I gotta say, this chapter was like stretching a rubber band so tight in order to let it fly and then.....don't release. You've done an amazing job of building up the suspense and then.....stopped!
Obviously Jacob & James are going to do something Saturday night hence the violence warning. What I'm thankful & hopeful for is Edward telling Emmett his concerns & feeling if dread & Emmett has taken seriously and has made arrangements for security to return at 9p. Jacob & James aren't that smart so I'm hoping they are caught before the girls are hurt. It would be horrific if any of them were injured not to mention what it would do to their men!
Great chapter & the anticipation is high. Hope the update is soon....anxiety is rising!
Author's Response:
Of course the update is soon - I haven't let you down yet, have I? thank you so much for the review and your comments :)
Date: 02 Sep 2010 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Thank you so much for writing this the way you did. I was in full panic mode from the previous chapter. I just couldn't bare it if any of the girls got hurt! I hope James dies from his gunshot although I'm with Rosie....she should have shot his head off! Would love to know what happened to make the Denali kids persona non grata as well as their mother. There's an outtake there!!!
I wish it was Jacob that got shot and then die. I am so afraid that he will continue to haunt them.
Great job!!!
Author's Response:
That sounds like a good idea - so um, are you thinking that I should write an outtake for the weekend - seeing as I posted early??

I think it was Laurent who broke in. He was creepy before & seemed too interested in Bella, etc.
Great chapter!!

Knew it was Laurent but never made a connection to James. Figures the low life had something to do with it. Glad Laurent is behind bars & will be there for awhile. No way he can make bail; he was caught in the act!
Great update!
Happy Holidays!

Awww....this was so sweet! I was a little pissed that Edward was acting all hurt and angry when it was really his fault for telling Bella he would never get married again nor have children. Geez, what's a woman to think when the man she loves beyond all comprehension finds out she's pregnant but has been told numerous times by said baby daddy that he doesn't want more? I'd have done the same thing! Glad they have worked things out and are moving forward. The smexing and ILY were great!
Sad to see the story is coming to a close; I've really enjoyed it! Thanks again!
Date: 28 Apr 2010 Title: A Labor of Love
Hi - I have spent the last 24 hours addicted to your story and have read it nonstop! It drew me in and I'm hooked. I was a bit worried when I read your a/n about the negativity, etc. A little bit of angst, okay...a lot, sorry no.
Although there are strong feelings re: if Bella should have left, should have told Edward about the baby, etc. I get where you are going with this. Edward has told her over and over that he is not interested in marriage or more children. The guilt he feels over Angela's death is deep. Factor in Bella's mother dying in childbirth and you can see where each of them are coming from.
I'm sad that they are both still unsure about each other to be truthful but it's par for the course. I am glad you believe in HEA's 'cause it would break my heart if anthing kept these two from being together eventually. I sincerely hope that although Bella does move away, it's not for too long. Like Edward said, he won't be able to heal this time and if too much time does pass, more mistrust will brew and make it that much harder to reconnect. Most new mom's start showing around 6 months. Bella is about 4 1/2 so hopefully the forces that be (Em, R, J, A, Es & C) join together and get them back so all is right with the world!
Excellent job and looking forward to the updates!

You don't know how happy I was to read (and chant) HEA< HEA< HEA!!!
Yes, time does have a way of healing and I'm so afraid Edward is going to think Bella has "moved on" with Sam and he's the daddy. Let's hope the farce doesn't go on too long. There is no way that a non reunion would be the only realistic ending. I think your anon reviewer would be surprised at how realistic this would be and a reuniting is entirely plausible!
If I were Edward (and boy do I wish he were mine!!), I would get suspicious of Emmett's and Rosie's reactions (since how many friends do they have that the family doesn't know about or are close enough to be birthing partners) + the slip??? I'd get in my car and FOLLOW! But that's me and Edward is too broken to think that far ahead.
Date: 17 May 2010 Title: A Labor of Love
Oh My.....so glad Edward "thought" he saw Bella. He did the right thing by not pursuing it. He had his girls with him and they come first. Emmett and Rose should have thought about them "bumping" into each other earlier; like a month ago or something so Edward could have seen her "bump", put 2 & 2 together and, voila!!
I'm a little bit scared on how the "meeting" will go. I'm hoping for more tears and "I'm sorry's" and not too many accusations or anger. These 2 need each other to breathe. Not saying Edward didn't love Angela because I'm sure he did but Bella is his true love and soulmate. I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands of people out there who are in happy, satisfying relationships but it's not with their soulmate. They are content in their relationship because they don't know any better. It probably happens more often than not. Sorry for the rant.
Awesome chapter and wish I didn't have to wait until next week....patience has never been my virtue!
Date: 24 May 2010 Title: A Labor of Love
Seriously?!? He needs TIME!?! He "can't do this"?!? He's the one that just said he'd take her anyway she'd have him, he wants to get married and have children with her, he loves her and then when he sees everything he wanted right in front of him, he blows her off and tells her he needs time?!?!
Ok - got it that it's overwhelming and a bit shocking but come on!!! Edward, get your head out of your ass, man up and don't make Bella feel like she made a mistake and let her insecurities (which, BTW, have only increased due to her pregnancy and post pregnancy hormones) bloom and get out of control! She has to "go"?! Hope Esme slaps him upside his head!
Yes, they need to talk. Yes, they have to clear the air...but telling her she had to go has got to be the stupidest thing ever!
Here's hoping Assward will redeem himself because right now, he's looking like the biggest, most insincere, selfish asshole on the planet! Seriously ?!? I figured there would be surprise but never figured his reaction!
BTW - a little put off my Esme's non surprise when she answered the door. No "hello", "How are you?", "Oh Bella, I'm so happy to see you" ~ just went straight for the baby!
Anyway, please don't think I don't love this story! I certainly do and you should be happy and proud that this chapter created such a strong reaction! Looking forward to an update soon!!

Of course this can and will have a realistic HEA. You're an amazing writer and they way this story has progressed seems natural. Yes, I was p.o.ed at Edward's need for Bella to leave but I get it. Shock is real but now that he's had some time to think about it, talked to his family and realized what is really important, here's hoping that by his arriving at Bella's home, he's ready to try. It wouldn't be realistic for Bella to just move in with him, surprise the girls with Bella being back and Charlie but I think if Edward talks to the girls and explain in their language and age appropriateness, they can become a family.
Good job and looking forward to the update!

Nice wrap up. I'm glad they both were able to work things out quickly and involved the girls in the decision.

Mmmmmmm........I love Daddyward & Naughtyward. So so good! Loved how Bella is going to adoptmthe girls. They've never known a mother & they are still young enough to accept.

Beautiful ending to a wonderful story!!! I loved every twist, turn, Up, Down, tear and laughter.

Oh no.....this is what I remember.....the heartache.
Great job. I've enjoyed rereading it! Now I've got to gear myself up for the Heartfail. Stupid doctor patient privacy laws!

After all that, she's leaving? B@!$&
Date: 07 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Connection
See? Heartbreak.
Anyway you'd want to change it up? Edward find Bella before baby, declare his wish to marry her? Tell her he only said no to marriage because he was scared?
I get why Bella felt this was her only option, but a year + is so long without each other!

Ahhhhh.....all is right! Damn, E just kills me!
