I really love this story... Please Please Please post soon...

I'm a bit disappointed with Bella and Edward for giving up so easily. Obviously they are both not ready to be together "for better or for worse". Hopefully their being apart makes them see what they are missing.

Surely some private investigator should dig up some dirt about her as well, it's hard to believe that someone so selfish and evil has lived without some wrongdoing or other.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Awww... how sad... they'll work it out though... right??? Great story though... can't wait for the next update :)

Wow! Wasn't expecting that!! How sad!!!

I have never had such a strong reaction to any fiction in my life until this chapter.

This is too much angst and not realist. The letter that Jess sent to Bella says that Bella "led Edward into the B/S lifestyle". Where is the proof in that? She and Edward never went to any clubs or parties that I recall. Everything that was done in the lifestyle was in private, except for that night with Carmen. Jess signed on her parental rights. She is harrassing Edward and the family. She tried to kidnapp Carlie, and forged a letter to present to the school. That fuckery wouldn't fly in any court of law.

And I hate that Bella's character has just been broke-the-fuck-down to the point of becoming a cat lady, running out of town, and giving away her prized possesions. Even in fiction, somone could never recover from all of this mess.

I love your work, but I need you to fix this ASAP. This is still my most favorite story, and I will ride it out.

Oh, gosh! :( Leaving won't solve anything! Can I please strangle Jessica? That'd just make everyone's life so much easier!

I can't bring it on......because I'm speechless. 

You are a sadist.

Grrrrr! That bitch (jessica) needs to be hit by a bus or something really really really bad happen to her. I hope Edward and Bella will be able to find their way back to each other somehow.

what the hell .. bella and edward arent together anymore and this crappal ... why would edward let her go .. if its anyone fault its his and jessicas he brought all this stuff into her sex life and now because it could get out bella is having to pay for this and she graceful gave up both edward and carlie because she loves them so much and her life is just got shit all of a suuden .. jeez she needs a break, first jake, then  her mum, then almost losing her job, then jessica and the edward and his hurtful words and now this everyone she loved and cared for turned their back on her carlise - even suggested they break up, she hasnt heard from esme or emmett and now she is leaving alice and rose .. please tell me this gets better !! omg btw i love this story your an amazing writter xx

The respected authors on FF and Twilighted are appreciated because they respect their audience, research information meticulously, have a superb, working knowledge of ther story's theme, and show their characters in a realistic, consistent light. Icy knows that Advil is metabolized by the kidneys, so she has Edward give that to Bella after a hangover, not Tylenol which would be metabolized by the already overworked liver. Sebastien Robichaud knows Dante and wove it seamlessy into the story while loving his desperately flawed characters. Lola Shoes is, well, amazing at layered, sexually dialogue and scene.

We have shock here, but not realistic shock. W e have pain here, but not from realistic events. We don't see a love of the characters it seems, by the author. We don't see a working knowledge of the law, social service networks, or for that matter, D/s practices.  Are we to believe this couple can have a HEA? Are we able to walk away having been enriched by a love portrayed realistically through life's crises? I think not. We write reviews to better the experience for both writer and audience, not just to be contrary. Make us be enriched here-realistically.

And if you're here for the kinky only, there are other authors (see above!) who do kink but with a better skill set to match.

oh. my....Bella's being a bit impulsive, isn't she? and no, no hate here. I get it. but then, i know you'll rectify it soon, and hopefully it involves jail time for the homewrecker...
