Damn...I'm so torn now! This is the only fic that I have actually liked mike and wouldn't mind if Bella was w/ him. Then again she just has to end up w/ Edward cause it just wouldn't be right if they weren't...urgh! It was an awesome chap though, I can't freaking wait to see what happens at the lake this summer!

I've never said this before, but can she please sleep with Mike!

Oh, this sounds juicy! I can't wait to read what you have in store for in this summer of groveling. Edward needs a good dose of jealousy so I'm hoping Mike sticks around for a while. Great job.

You know it's bad when you actively hope Bella has sex with Mike. And I do. I just don't want Edward to be her only sexual experience. I want her to know what it's like with someone else.

I like the e-mail. She's saying she'll get over it but laying it all out for him too. Please say next chapter is EPOV. I'd love to know what he's been up to.

Who knew there'd be a cool version of Mike out there?

Honestly Mike seems pretty decent and perfect, and he has tatts (FTW). But i miss the cocky fucker that is Edward... but until/if he proves himself worthy of our fair bella... she can do what she likes (hopefully she's happy). If Mike and Edward were ever in the same room, shit will hit the fan, methinks Edward will realise he let a good thing go.

"There is a lot of sexual tension between us,... " - i love this whole para. (y'know i just realised this about myself i'm okay with mike but not jacob, i hate jacob, that's weird). OMG I LIKE YOUR MIKE, i never like mike.

Thanks for writing;)

oh I like that email! can't wait for Edwards reaction!

I loved this chapter! I was so worried that Bella was going to turn into the sterotypical wounded kitten, but I love how you have brought her back. Perfect!

And kudos to you for making Mike the total opposite of the loser a lot of writers feel compelled to make him. I've always felt that Mike gets really shitty treatment most of the time. I mean, he was just a normal guy that liked a girl who was in love with a supernatural supermodel. Seriously, wasn't that punishment enough LOL?

I have been following your story since the beginning - I started over on Twilighted and now here (I find the format easier to read here on FFN). I'm sorry I haven't reviewed, but I am going back to re-read and review previous chapters.

I think you have an excellent story happening here and I really enjoy your writing style. It's clean and clear and you know how to express a character's "atmosphere" without being unnecessarily wordy.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Great chapter! It's nice to see Mike Newton's character redeemed every once in a while. lol

Bella's email to scumward was spot on. She isn't who she was the summer before. Yay! I'm so glad we are coming up on another summer at the cabins!

Cute and heartbreaking at the same time. I cringed when Tanya was introduced, and teared up a little bit when she opened the gift from him.

I like that you write in present tense, but you sometimes use the tenses wrong. But aside from that, it's well written.

I like your POV switch here. I think it's excellently done without the annoying habit of repeating the same thing over again. Kudos! And the scarf is just cute.

Later,

Belle

I'm so glad B grew a pair and had her emotional break down - although, I'm not certain whether I should call it that. Good for her! In fact, nothing to be embarrassed about. I like how the story is developing.

oh, i don't don't know whether it's good luck or bad luck for B that the Cullens seem to have completely infiltrated her family. And I hope she let's E rot in hell for a while! Good story & intriguing!

Best,

Belle

Tanya & E - it's just so trashy! Who the hell talks about a threesome in a bathroom as if it's an accomplishment...holy cow! Jeez, B should have not only slapped him, she should have kicked him - and you know where...

Curious when B is growing a pair?

oh dear - poor B & such a cliffhanger!
