What a sweet chapter. Thank you for the update, more please. Regards.

I used to like your old stories better. "The Beauty within" was my favorite and I would have paid good money to have a copy of it at my disposal whenever I needed a well-written feel-good story. This new story, however, is hardly in the same category. The characters are sketchy at best and the chapters seem more like outlines rather than the final product. Not to mention how farfetched the whole plot is! Honestly girl, those writing courses have messed up your natural style. Sorry!

I LOVED how magical Erik made the mundane seem, and "Maybe Erik could give her a pacifier" just made me laugh. XD

It's interesting that Erik is the one (seemingly) keeping Christine at arm's length, rather than the other way around.

I really, REALLY can't wait for her to recover at least part of her memory and to realize that she never knew this man before her accident. I wonder if she will be horrified, or if she will have grown so comfortable with him that, once she recovers from the shock, she finds it doesn't matter.

Good luck on your book!

I take back my last review, but I still don't know how I feel about this story. I can't stop reading though. I can't wait until "Christine" remembers everything.

Poor Christine. She wants more but Erik is keeping his distance. She's going to have to take steps for herself, showing him what she wants in return. More please.

Liked the page! Good luck with the publisher! I can't wait to have a printed copy of your works in my hands.

There are some good points that ToTheBarricades pointed out. I understand that no friends or family is looking for her atm because it states in Chap 4 that she literally has no one (or she cut off ties since she left with her boyfriend/fiance). Still, wouldn't there be a missing persons report because she was absent from her job? I'm sure her coworkers would be worried.

Sure, she wanted to get away and be someone else, and Erik did that for her, but it still leaves a weird creepy feeling that once the opportunity presented itself, he was her stalker now her pretend fiance (sorry! run on sentence). In reality, it's a scary situation to be in and thankfully Erik did not force anything harsh on her. Not to sound mean either! I think he's redeeming himself by treating her very well and giving her time to fall in love and gain her affections.

Anyways, boo for Erik not taking any of her hints. She's falling for him and I hope if she does regain her memories that the feelings will linger.

hey, I'm a long time reader of your works. I have really enjoyed your stories in the past and still miss rereading them since you have taken them down. When I began this story I was excited. I'm in the 13th chapter now and I started reading some other reviews. I'm not saying that the story isn't good, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds this story a little off. Erik as a "rogue" surgeon and lying to Christine about her identity and then saying he is her fiance...this seems a little off the deep end for me. I'm still going to be supportive and keep reading, but I'm a little skeptical.

Aww! That was a romantic date! And I love the sound of that ring! If only Erik gets the hint that she wants a kiss. Update soon please!

awesome chapter!can't wait for the next one!

good luck with your book!

Loved it! I can definitely feel Christine's frustration here. Can't wait for the next chapter!

I don't get this story at all. I mean, I understand what's going on, but I can't see why this is a romance story. "Christine" is being pretty much kidnapped by her stalker and there are three people that know this and are doing nothing to help her. I know Erik kidnapping Christine is canon, but that was always the creepiest/least likable part about Erik, imo. And also that was in Victorian era France. I wasn't alive back then, so I'm not totally sure how things went, but I'm fairly certain that in todays world "Christine" would have already been reported missing. She hasn't shown up for work and I'm sure she probably has family/friends that call/email from Nebraska. Wouldn't they've noticed her lack of communication? Also, her job would've already notified the police that she hadn't shown up for work in days. Another thing, if they eventually have sex before her memory is recovered one could argue that Erik is essentially raping "Christine" as the sex is not consensual since she doesn't have a clue who she is really and doesn't know that Erik followed her all the time. Am I supposed to completely dislike Erik in this story? I just finished reading all 12 chapters in one go, but I've got to confess that this story has felt... off since the first chapter. I am genuinely confused about all that is going one with this story as I normally LOVE WTIE stories. But I'm having a hard time swallowing this one. Just something about this premise doesn't rub me the right way. I tried my best to give an honest constructive opinion without being a jerk, but I'm pretty sure I failed as I'm really just a big jerk anyway. I'm gonna read all the way through because I am curious to know how this one is going to turn out and because my fan fiction reading heart belongs to WTIE. This review is now probably longer than the actual story, ha.

Ok im just read the last three chapters studying has been getting the better of me :S

ok so it is getting interesting and i feel so bad for christine that she is being lied to :(

cant wait to see the next chapter :)

A big breakthrough for Erik! He realizes that "Christine" and he need to lead normal lives.

I love that even though Christine has suffered such a devastating psychological event, she can still think logically enough to realize that there is nothing in "their" home of her former life. Perhaps anyone would have come to that conclusion, but she seems so dependent upon Erik that thinking for herself is almost out of the question.

I hope this is the first step toward a total recovery for her.

Erik's trying so hard to make Christine's like normal but he's going to have to do it better. They're going out. This will be interesting to see how Erik handles it. More please.

Another great chapter. Erik is going to have to tap dance a little faster to keep ahead of Christine. Hopefully by the time she gets her memory, she will have truly fallen in love with Erik. Thanks for updating this wonderful story.
