so he outbid her. surely he must notice they are always the last two bidding most of the time. when do we get to meet him?

I like this Bella. A disheveled academic. Nice character. So Edward is a Masen here, is he? Is the Cullen you mention, then Carlisle? We shall see...

Having read two of your stories, I am compelled to read the other two. It seems I am reading them in the reverse order they were written. I hope this brings you new readers as I have rec'd them both on my facebook page.

I don't know you, but your love for books shows. While reading this I felt like I was reading a thriller, a mystery novel, such a great, interesting story. You're so smart and amazing!
Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us.

Such a well written story! Is it finished? I feel like I've been left hanging in the middle of an auction! I got quite the cultural education in so many subjects with this story!

I know it's 5 yrs old, but I just read this lovely story of yours for a second time. It is so well written, researched and composed. I hope you're are still writing (if so, where?). This story stands out strongly as having substance, a strong yet vulnerable love story, and a focus on rare books, their history and importance. You accomplish all of this with overdoing any of it, a rarity indeed. I truly enjoyed it, and having read the fabulous "Isabella" several times, your stories are among the top 5 fics read. Thank you.

She has been acting like a lunatic for about 5 chapters.

What a great piece of writing. I have so enjoyed real ding it. Thank you

Really loved your story. Found out about it from the Lemonade Stand today. Couldn't stop reading all day!

I had been putting off reading this story for years. I think the title put me off a little, I honestly thought it was a vamp story!

I'm glad I finally got to it, found it on a friend's favourites list. It was an intelligent, mysterious, thrilling read.

Thank you.

Ahhhh

Very nice story! I really liked how you made this fast-paced without large amounts of violence.

Wow, what a great story, flitting around old Europe and the US. Intrigue all the way. Thanks for sharing, loved it :)

I absolutley LOVED this story! When I saw the premise, I never would have guessed that. But it had me spellbound. Could not stop reading! Had a few late nights this week because of that! *yawn*. Lol.

Now I'm off to check out your other offerings!

Great story. Thanks for writing.
