Ladies...this story is wonderful...love...romance...sex...plot all the things that make for a excellent read...badsquirrel is my (I'm possessive) writer meaning I am her beta reader...and very proud of it...she is not only a superb writer, but a good friend...I would not rave about this story if it didn't deserve the accolades...I predict she will have another number 1 on her hands...do not let me be wrong...READ THIS...you can thank me later ...btw...I gave her an 8 on the spice index because I want her to put more sex in her stories...grin... - QMBG - Jul-15-2008 What can I say that QMBG did not?? It is a great story, with only one major fault.... it ended!!! I could see this story going on for another couple hundred pages! Keep up the great work BS( i really mean badsquirrel, nothing else really!!)You really need to write faster, so I can read more! Thank you QMBG for helping badsquirrel turn out a great read! P.S. Was there enough more sex for you??? - Nancy - Jul-15-2008 Once again, great stuff all around. Two thumbs way up! - Arassar - Jul-15-2008 I have been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for my favorite Squirrel's new story, and it was worth it. This is a great one, and I can't wait for the next. Thanks BadSquirrel YOU ROCK - Anonymous - Jul-15-2008 Couldn't stop reading until "The End". Great story. Loved it! Thank you :) - Anonymous - Jul-15-2008 Yet another brilliant one by BadSquirrel! I was totally captivated and drawn into the story, so much so, that when I got to the end I felt extremely sad there wasn't more. This story is moving to the top of my list of favourites. I definitely recommend it and can't wait to see what's next. - Dogz - Jul-16-2008 Great stuff, badsquirrel, great story, wonderful characters (everyone should have a Maggie in their life) and a cute little cameo with the Edgewater crew at the end - now where's that sequal! - dinasbran - Jul-16-2008 Another great story. Ended up reading it in one sitting. Really liked the tie in with Edgewater. So when do we get the sequel...LOL - Lee - Jul-16-2008 Extremely well written story, I hated for it to end. I can't wait for the next story this wonderful Bard puts out, because she knows how to do it right. She is going to be one of the best. - Netta - Jul-16-2008 Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Have I mentioned that this story is awesome?! Thanks for sharing Squirrel, it was impossible to put down. - Otter - Jul-17-2008 That was FANTASTIC. Once I started reading it I had to keep going. I was actually anxious when I clicked on the link for the last part and saw the word 'Epilouge', I just didn't want the story to end. And I totally agree with the other recommendations,please, please, please post a sequel very soon, I just have to know what comes next and how much more they explore of their relationship. - Anonymous - Jul-17-2008 You've done it again...OUTSTANDING!!! When I'm looking for something to read and I pass by something that has BDSM as a theme, I usually keep looking. Not because I have anything against it -- other things to read about just usually interest me more. Well, I knew better than to consider for one second that there would be anything out there more interesting to read and I wasn't disappointed. Far from it. The same as with all of BadSquirrel's stories, the characters and their thoughts and emotions are incredibly funny and real and touching, and the way the story itself is told keeps the reader totally engrossed -- all the way to the end. I can't wait for the next story. - Sthpaw30 - Jul-17-2008 You are by far my favourite author...please don't make me wait so long for your next story - Anonymous - Jul-17-2008 again, you wrote another fantastic story. can't wait for more. - SP - Jul-17-2008 Oh, this story ROCKS!! The characters are very well done, the stroyline is fascinating, the whole thing is just amazing! I can't wait to see if there's gonna be a follow on to this. Thanks for sharing this story with us! - Gwen - Jul-18-2008 Another WONDERFUL story! You are one of the greatest writers out there right now! Just like all your other stories, this one has depth, heart, and beautiful character studies. You should be a published author! Keep writing, Please! - Rose - Jul-18-2008 Great story! Had me cracking up all over the place. The big reveal? EFFING HILARIOUS!...I feel greedy for saying this but I definitely want more. BadSquirrel...you Rock and you Roll. - wrldpece - Jul-18-2008 A totally awesome story! It just needs one thing, a SEQUEL!!! BadSquirrel, you do totally rock! - kymba - Jul-18-2008 Wonderful!!! I thoroughly recommend this tale, it drew me in from the first line and the last line left me wanting more! Thank you, loved it! - Loll - Jul-19-2008 BadSquirrel you are the cause of the dark circles under my eyes.I stayed up all night reading this story,it was soooo good I could not stop til I finished it, then I was sad it ended. There needs to be a sequel.This is just my opinion,but u r one my favorite writers. I highly recommend this and every other story you've written. OUTSTANDING! - DAB45 - Jul-20-2008 Wow! As usual I am in awe! This should be on everyones must read list! Thank you BadSquirrel! - Jenner - Jul-20-2008 Such a well written story, never read BDSM before, thought it violent, this has opened my eyes lol. Jordon is so sweet, oh how i wish. Thank you Bad Squirrel for sharing. [cant believe you are still looking. hehe........] - Lizzielee - Jul-20-2008 The plot is well executed and the character development is superb. You'd be a fool not to read this gem. - Ryan - Jul-20-2008 please, please, please make a sequel. I love this storyline. PLEASE> - F_L_J - Jul-21-2008 Yet another awesome story from an incredible author. I will echo the comments above when I say "Sequel!" - Anonymous - Jul-21-2008 A truly talented writer. I highly recommend reading this story. - Anonymous - Jul-22-2008 spicy! - Anonymous - Jul-22-2008 Read it. You will not regret it. Okay, when I first read the disclaimers and content section and saw that the story involved BDSM I was a bit reluctant. I am so not into pain, dominance or bondage. Call me squemish. I kept reading because everyone else seemed to be so taken with this story and I didn't want to miss something great. So, I read on, and on...and on. I loved this story. Do not let preconceptions stop you as I almost did. BadSquirrel did a wonderful job telling her story without once making me turn away, or squeezing my legs together. - Anonymous - Jul-23-2008 An unusual and quite entertaining story. I'd love to see a sequel with Jordon/Sarah and Kelly/Hannah! That would be amaaazing. - cap - Jul-23-2008 outstanding, beautiful story! - Kat - Jul-24-2008 Love all your stories, but this one just begs for a sequel. And with all the threads you left hanging I can't imagine you aren't tirelessly working on one for all your devoted fans; the vacation, finding a new place, moving everyone, new job, Hannah&Kelly, FREDDIE and the new DOG!! Thanks for a great story and wonderful characters. - Titan - Jul-24-2008 I've read all of the comments on here and decided to read it. All I can say is. . . WOW. It made me see a whole different side to a lot of things. You won't be disappointed if you read this. I'll bet you'll too would look at things differently. - Anonymous - Jul-24-2008 Well developed characters with witty, intelligent dialogue. Thoroughly engaging. - Anonymous - Jul-28-2008 excellent - a very good read - Anonymous - Jul-29-2008 Loved it, Great characters,very touching but also funny. Would love to See more of them! - iceflamesburn - Jul-30-2008 Two thumbs way up. I have loved every story written by BadSquirrel, and would highly recommend them to everyone. - Jules - Jul-31-2008 Great, just the ending was a bit abrupt. Seems like an in-joke about another story. So now I *have* to read all the other stories of the author, twist my arm will ya :-). - Anonymous - Jul-31-2008 This was one HELL of a read. The only bad thing about it was that it ended! I really hope a sequel is in the making. READ IT!! - Bacchuskiller - Jul-31-2008 Wonderful story! Stayed up very late to read it all but it was worth it. Please keep writing!! - Shelley - Jul-31-2008 Great story. Thanks, BadSquirrel for giving an full evening of entertainment. This story presents a different slant to the norm and does it well. I hope you plan a sequal, because I'd really like to see how Jorden and Sarah do in their new enviorment. - nljacksn - Jul-31-2008 What a great story! - jen d - Aug-04-2008 I've been looking around for a really good, kinda blow me away story and I found it in this. Great read. Hope a sequel will follow soon. Who's Freddy?? - lyneX - Aug-14-2008 fantastic brilliant story - Anonymous - Aug-15-2008 I read this story first and then went back to read the other three in order of writing. I LOVE the way the characters in former stories are brought into the other stories. This tale has it all; love, angst, sex, life and did I mention LOVE? This is one of the best if not the best stories i've ever read it was SOOOOO GOOD - happycricket - Aug-22-2008 So moving a story, its brilliant, utterley brilliant, but it just ends, this is the first story from this author i have read, i intend to read all of this authors stories. - LuvTigger71 - Sep-02-2008 Real, honest, beautiful representation of plotty romance - eli - Sep-17-2008 Wow...wow, wow-ee-wow I stumbled across BadSquirrel by accident and fell in love. First with Shine and Maureen..and then along came Robyn and Maryl. Meeting Jordan and Sarah was an incredible ride and I thank you for every moment. Hannah and Kelly were warm in an "aw-shucks" kind of way. This is the first time I've ever recommended a story but this author is SO good I'm gonna go ahead and recommend her NEXT one. Squirrel if you are not being published it's a crime. Kudos to your ever-faithful Beta-reader as well. Please tell us you have something else in the works? Sequel? New characters? I'll take it!!!! - Tracy - Sep-18-2008 Sarah and Jordan are great characters. I love how they discover and interact with each other. Jordan, especially, is amazing. Such deep and complex a character totaly diserves a sequel. It would be shame to leave it to that. I want to know how their relationship evolves. I want to know how life in Edgewater is for them. Please give us a sequel ! - Anonymous - Sep-29-2008 Excellent excellent story with a BDSM flare - Anonymous - Oct-07-2008 Don't let the theme stop you from reading a truly amazing love story. I've always loved this writer, but she has just topped all tops! I am awe struck with the basic and primal beauty of this story. I really want to move to Edgewater! - shelby - Oct-28-2008 I have read and enjoyed all of the work BadSquirrel has posted here and I have to say that Dark Side of the Moon is my favorite. The only thing that can make it better would be a sequel. This is definitely one of those stories where I just have to know what happens next. If you haven't read this story you are missing out. I really hope BadSquirrel checks out these comments. Please, please, please be working on a sequel...... - Anonymous - Nov-06-2008 Oh wow...WOW!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WRITE A SEQUEL. Amazing. - Anonymous - Nov-06-2008 WOW!!! What an amazing story. i loved it. it kept my attention and had me wishing there was more of it by the end...PLEASE write a sequal to it. - odessa - Nov-15-2008 This story is absolutley AMAZING! - from germany - Nov-28-2008 I love it MORE PLEASE - damere - Feb-13-2009 Rather excellent. A little on the sappy side towards the end, but it was well deserved. Lesbianism, BDSM & genderbending presented in the form of tight and well written language. To ask for more would be plain greedy. I was thoroughly entertained by this story. - Ape - Feb-17-2009 This story kept me up all night and well into the next morning... This is the first Badsquirrel story I've ever read and this has convinced me to read all of her stories... You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift! - Archer - Feb-23-2009 3am people, 3am. I could not stop reading. Wonderful story, good characters and spicy. What more can I say. - Marcia - Feb-26-2009 Like others have said, I couldn't stop reading this story. Really well done. Thanks. - Ginger - Feb-28-2009 I thought this was a great story!

I started it tonight thinking I would read the first part and then go to bed, however I could not stop until it was done. I hope you write a sequel to this. - Tgz87 - Apr-30-2009 I'm one of those people who don't like to read things twice, but i have read this story many times and am still interested. Well done BadSquirrel, i look forward to reading your other stories. - Anon - May-10-2009 sweet jesus...that was just yum yum yummy. oh did i say that outloud. well anyways you have so got to read this, but keep an open mind, because some of this stuff is like way out there, or at least i think so. i actually had to research some of it, to see if it was real. but OMG it was awesome. just read it shit. - iheartpickles - Jun-10-2009 This is one of the most amazing stories I've read in the past year or two. It's smart, funny, heartwarming, informative, tender, sexy... I felt for these characters the whole way through. I wish this was Spinal Tap so I could give this story an 11. - Revolos55 - Jul-25-2009 Amazing story...I would love a sequel to hear more about Jordan and Sarah (and Maggie!) - Xenasgrrl - Aug-02-2009 WOW!

It's romantic and has angst and I love the chemistry and portrayals of Jordon and Sarah! I would love to read a sequel!

A very good twist on the S&M lifestyle. - JJ - Oct-31-2009 I love Edgewater!! Can't wait to read more of the cities residents or soon to be residents! Please keep writing, your stories amaze and touch me. Hope you're working on a new one! - Anonymous - Nov-04-2009 This a great story,it hooks right from the first paragraph,it would even be better if there was a sequal. - Mut - Jan-17-2010 Wow, just wow! - Peyton Andrews - Jan-24-2010 This story is great.

I think absolutly nothing ;) This is one of the best stories I have have in a long time and I really would like to see a sequel. - hop-sing - Aug-02-2010 **** SPOILER ALERT **** I read Rumors first then went straight to this story. Both are incredible stories! I love that you incorporate characters from your other stories into others. I really hope there is a sequel in the works for this story because I am dying to know how everything is going. Who all decided to make the move with them, how they are getting along with the Rumors cast and if there will be grandchildren in the future for Maggie afterall. Please, please, please write a sequel! Please? I fell in love with the characters and I'm dying to read more about them and see what other trials and tribulations they may have to face :) - Marie - Aug-17-2010 I loved this story and found it a very gentle one for all it's BDSM warnings. - Mina - Aug-23-2010 Excellent, really, really excellent.

I stayed up until after 5am to finish reading. I laughed so hard at the closing sequence I thought I'd have an accident: "Kelly pulled up her sleeve and made a very impressive muscle with her biceps. "Can you beat that?" "Nope." "Didn't think so," Kelly boasted. "But I can pee standing up." "She can," Sarah giggled. Kelly draped herself over Hannah's shoulders with a pout. "Tell me I'm still butch, baby." Hannah patted Kelly's arm as she winked at Jordan. "Feeling a little feminine?" "Yeah. And I don't like it. It's...ooky." - Souzan - Dec-19-2010 I just love this story! This is my second reading and I'm sure I'll come back to it again.
