Has anyone read This Life by CaraNo?

I started reading it and made it to the 14th chapter before I bailed.  I love CaraNo's stories so I was really looking forward to reading this, I just want to know if I bailed too early and it gets more exciting.

I agree. I love her stories too and just thought it maybe was me. She wrote one previously where B was involved with a football player, I think Em or Jasper was a brother and that was awful too. Her last three stories seemed so not her style......(.the prose and flow of the story)

Naughty, naughty ladies; don't be too illicit now, you could land yourselves in gaol 

Now, I just finished reading Better Than Pie by Savannavansmutsmut (Oi lordy that's a mouthful).
Bella decides marriage will solve her financial problems and auctions herself off as a wife, only to be bought for an unsuspecting Edward by his meddling but well-meaning Down Syndrome brother, Emmett.

It started off with a somewhat outlandish plot, but then halfway though hooked a bloody uey and was suddenly trundling off in a completely different direction. There were a couple of times when I wanted to yell at Bella or Edward to grow the f up, but not enough to make me flick. None the less I enjoyed it, it was pretty light hearted and overall well written. Emmett is a blast in this and by far the best character.

It's marked as humour/t7608 and while it's not laugh out loud funny it's definitely in no way serious. There is a pregnancy, however the sprogs only appear in the last chapter, so never fear, it didn't change the tone/ flow of the fic as usually happens with Bella up the duff and dealing with ankle biters.

Now this is showing my age - I remember when I jumped from the Sweet Dreams series, to Sweet Valley High to Harlequin and M&B - this was s e x education in an all girls boarding school in Australia in the 80's!

Then I read Lace by Shirley Conran - this was the Fifty Shades on the 80's.  I was 16 when I read this (illicitly - elicitly, Ella? ) and I NEVER knew you could put goldfish THERE!  If you don't know this book google "shirley conran lace goldfish scene"!

Oh dear - I really do sound like a pervy knickers!  I promise I am a fine upstanding Australian citizen - I'm a school principal, for goodness sake!

I just finished A Friend in Heaven by Winndsinger You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

It is the 1980's and Edward left home 10 years before to feed off the living. He is becoming very dark and isolated from humankind. Then he attempts to save a young God-loving girl and must watch over her for a few days. Some bondage scenes.:

If you end up in pirate gaol with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom I wouldn't be bailing you out, I'd be joining you sister!

Although I don't think that pirate gaol is the AFP's preferred correction centre, unfortunately for us we'd more likely be sent to some heinous women's gaol out in whoop whoop. 

Well, after all this I'm off to make strawberry custard tart; maybe I can bribe those AFP officers with my sweet treats. Hehe.

Whoop Whoop is Aussie slang for basically the middle of nowhere (back of beyond). Anywhere that is sparsely populated, removed from civilisation (which, let's be honest, is most of Australia), and generally remote. Also possibly kind of backwards and most likely populated by bogans.

Johnny could be hiding there, but you'd be hard pressed to find him. You can drive for 1000s of kilometres and still be nowhere in Aus.

Not a convent - it was actually a "Presbyterian and Methodist Ladies College" 

Not THE whoop whoop - just whoop whoop - pronounced oo as in book, not oo as in zoo.

I LOVED Whatever Works - although this Edward is a little too bi-polar. Hope you enjoy it.

Someone suggested it was The Long Way Home by eviekinz.

The paparazzi can't stop chasing movie star Edward Cullen. After being chased from his hotel by the papps, he stays with a local and meets the girl who just might save him from his fandom and himself. Then again, maybe he will save her.

I have it in mobi.  Does that help you?  And is it complete?

Just finished reading Bare All, it's well written and interesting. There are some grammar, spelling errors but not enough to distract the reader.Some angst but doesn't overpower the story. It has tatward, who can resist tatward?
