Contrary to some of your other reviews, I am very impressed with the time and thought you’ve put into developing a relationship not only with a war widow, but also with her 4 sons. You are absolutely correct, that is a tremendously difficult relationship to build. I love how you have handled it.

I love revisiting/ reading a good family story that has drama instead of angst. Fantastic as always. Thank you!

Sounds like a really balanced and happy home.D

Come on the Cullen’s needed a girl all those boys between Masen and Bella’s boys. Excellent!

Yay a baby is on the way.

It’s sad Bella didn’t communicate with Edward her fears and concerns because this was not Masen or Alyssa’s business. Maybe I’m just private. Oh well.

Lovely. Every time.

Will is a complete doll.

Oh my goodness so freaking sweet.

Edward is a sweet man and it seems that he and Bella’s patience will be rewarded.D

My Dad use to do this with me and my brother’s. A Dad/ kid date day was always so special because you didn’t have to share. Good job Edward.

Bella and Edward haven’t even had sex and just said I love you. Marriage is not quite on the menu at the moment. Alyssa is as special as Masen. I can’t remember if the Swans are as intrusive as the Cullen’s.D

So Edward has his Carrie moment ‘and just like that…’ I love this Bella and Edward. It’s been a while since I read this and I’ve read too many stories to count but they are in my top 20 for sure.

Wow, Masen is helpful but exhausting. He never shuts up! But he and Alyssa are going to help our lovelies get some outside of a closet so he scores big here.

I don’t find Masen as much rude as he is really annoying for someone his age. It’s like he’s canon Emmett. I forgot how gossipy he and Esme are about Edward. I think your Jake is the cutest and sweetest Jake. All the boys are really. Also if Bella is ready for sex she has to remember that she told Edward she needed to take it slow.
