Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Drama
Characters: Edward & Bella

Summary: All her life, Bella Swan saw things before they happened, until him. He was her blind spot. How do you stay out of someone's life when you see it flashing before your eyes on a daily basis? AH,BxE

You have me. Forever. 

Those four words speak so much to me as a reader. Because as a reader, Fictionfreak95 does have me. Forever. I adore her writing style and she's a master storyteller. I have such a personal connection to this story because I was lucky enough to be there the day the idea came her. She mentioned in passing a tv show that she was losing interest in but had sparked the idea of a psychic Bella; not necessarily the fortune teller type psychic we are use to in canon Alice, but a more modern day version. One that feels peoples pasts and futures, one that struggles to fit in her small town with the knowledge that she has. I was hooked and begging for more. Jo was still writing Meet the Masen's, so she just kept saying we’ll see. Here we are and I can’t tell you how blown away I am already, only 5 chapters in. The reason this story is already so fascinating to me is how layered her characters are, how emotionally connected I am.

His voice was low and needy, rough and sultry as he teased, "You're mine, now." 

I always was. 

The illumination of a soft glow shimmered from one of the windows as we approached our new home. I felt the anticipation of what was about to take place when he opened the door for us, whisking me up into his arms to carry me across the threshold. 

His smile was disarming. His lips even more so as they traveled along my jaw, underneath the soft curls that dangled against the back of my neck, then finally, near the upward tilted corners of my mouth. He was everywhere. 

Soft fabrics surrounded us in the bedroom. In our bed. I couldn't quite make the colors out, but they felt like deep purples and reds and sheer curtains rippled from the breeze flowing into the room as though reaching out to me.. 

Gently scented candles flickered and danced, invading my senses, romanticizing the mood. As though it needed any help. 

"I want you." 

You have me. Forever. 

The dress I'd worn was gone and his black suit as well as he hovered above me, placing soft, tender, needy kisses, much like he was following a map of some sort to my lips. 

The backs of his fingers moved lightly against hardened nipples… down along the dip between my breasts, slowing against my belly, stopping only when he found the wetness that was a direct reaction to his touch. 

To everything about him. 

Slight wrinkles appeared at the edges of his eyes when he smiled down at me and my heart wanted to burst from the intensity of what he was conveying in that smile. 

I knew him. 

Better than he knew himself. 

"I'll always protect you." 

From what? I wondered, but not for long. 

As we meet these characters, they feel like friends already. I feel comfortable with them, their life so relatable. With Edward there is such sadness but you get these fantastic flashes of happiness from him in his past, how carefree he was and its so heartbreaking to see where his life is now. So as he sets off for a tiny Louisiana town full of crazy characters. We have hope that maybe he can find some of that carefree back. I’m so excited to watch the supporting characters plot lines, as well. I know she's got some superb things worked out for them. One of the biggest characters so far for Edward is his relationship with his dead brother, Garrett, and how much it tortures him even though we don’t know why yet. This story is so full of relationships and love in all forms and we see how family (blood and and chosen) work. Bella’s friendship with Emmett might be my very favorite thing in this entire story so far.

"Yo BELL!"
 

I pulled the door open again and smiled at him. "What are you doing? I thought you had to cover all of Rose's shifts for the week?" 

"On a break, wanted to come by and say hi to my favorite girl." 

Emmett winked and then picked me up to twirl me around just like he had my whole life as I squealed. 

"I'm telling Rose you said that," I teased, slapping his arm when he put me down. 

"You wouldn't." 

"I totally would." 

"Bella, no." He got down on one knee and pretended to beg, kissing my hand. "Please!" 

I just laughed at the buffoon. He was so terrible, that Emmett McCarty. 

"You want dinner, I'm guessing." 

"You offering?" 

I threw my hands up and turned to go to the kitchen. "I don't understand how you own a diner, and yet come to Gran's to eat." 

He closed the front door for me. "Too much of the same food over at the diner, and besides, Gran's a better cook then me any day of the year." Then he elbowed me as he made his way past me into the kitchen and helped himself to some of Gran's leftovers. 

I sat down across from him at the kitchen table and watched him eat like he hadn't been fed since Rose left. I just had to laugh at him as I picked from his plate of fried chicken legs and mashed potatoes. 

Come on down to Madisonville, Louisiana have some catfish, a cold beer and settle in with me while Jo tells us a tale.

Arms by VirginiaMay

Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Drama/Romance
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: After witnessing the brutal murder of her parents, sharpshooter & former Olympian Bella Swan is forced to live under a new identity as a high school student in tiny Forks, WA. Will unexpected feelings for the wrong man be her undoing or her salvation? AH 

One evening on twitter, I was chatting fic with a few good friends and was told to check out Arms by VirginiaMay, that it was fantastic. That adjective just doesn’t do this story justice at all. I was mystified and intrigued with chapter 1 and  I was riveted and captivated every chapter thereafter. The mystery woven through this tale is amazingly well done and the UST from the start leaves the reader shaken. We meet Bella Swan, a 23 year old Olympic gold medalist sharp shooter, who witnessed her parents brutal murder and now is under the protection of the US Marshals, at least until she's able to take the stand against the perpetrators. The new life and identity she's given is foster child, Anna Bella Dwyer, to one Dr. and Mrs. Carlisle Cullen, who believe that she is a traumatized 17 year old girl. She has to return to High School and carry on this charade for her own protection. Enter her foster brother, now math teacher, Edward Cullen. Instantly there is a charge between them, but all that Edward knows is this is a student, a young girl hurt beyond repair, that came to live and be part of his family. Her secret preventing anything more from happening.

"Whoa now, hold on a second there," he stops me. "I'm not doing anything for my mother's sake here, Bella. I'm your teacher. It's my job to care about how you're doing. In school and otherwise. Not to mention, I have a dozen or so years of life experience on you. If you're struggling, let me help. Let me do my job."

I snort and then scowl at him, reacting on hurt feelings and indignation alone.

"Look, your job is to teach me math," I snap. "Even if it was more than just that, I don't need anyone trying to help me out of some ridiculous sense of obligation."
 

"Obligation?" he asks, eyes flashing and voice rising. He looks offended. So much so I think he's going to yell but, with a quick swallow that makes his Adam's apple bob, he regains his composure. "Perhaps we ought to finish this conversation another time, young lady. I only want to help you. I have no interest in arguing with you." 

I roll my eyes at him. "Don't dismiss me like I'm a child. You don't know anything about me."

"Anna Bella-" 

I ignore him and turn to leave his classroom in a huff. Pathetically, I forget that there's a desk right behind me and almost fall on my face while attempting to escape. Mr. Cullen's hands reach out and steady me. 

"Easy," he murmurs. "Don't hurt yourself." 

I pause only for a moment while his long fingers remain around my waist. He lets go immediately, but not soon enough to avoid my heart fluttering wildly again. I can also feel the heat of his warm chest against my back now. Unbidden, my mind decides that I'd really like to lean backwards and have him wrap me in his arms. Instead, I shake off my insane thoughts and fly out of the classroom as fast as I can.  

There is such a wonderful use of canon characters in this story. I especially fell in love with Agent Whitlock, who is placed in Forks as Bella’s protection and only friend at first. The author has a way with describing such in depth emotion and imagery that puts you in Bella’s shoes. You feel her desperation and fight against loving these new people in her life that are offering such a connection. As the story progresses, Bella’s secrets are harder and harder to hide from her new family, especially Edward. After a Friday afternoon at the movies, more then just her name is revealed to him, putting them all in danger, but lifting a taboo.  

"For the love of God, please..." Edward begs, his eyes wild, his touch setting me alight. I can deny him no longer. 

"It's me." 

His whole body sags. "It's you?" he gasps. "It's true?" 

I nod and he lowers his forehead against mine. "Isabella." 

I smile and lift my hand to cover his where it rests against my cheek. "You can still call me Bella. I'm never Isabella unless I'm being reprimanded, or paying taxes." 

He chuckles and lifts his other hand so that he's holding my face. Our noses touch together and I think he's going to kiss me, but he hesitates. 

"I need you to tell me one thing more, Bella Swan." 

"What?" I ask immediately. 

"Tell me you're not seventeen." 

I laugh and shake my head. "I haven't been seventeen in six years, Edward." 

He pulls me closer and what was left of my laughter dies in my throat. "

That's all I needed to hear." 

We are 8 chapters in so far and there is so much left to discover and watch as these characters start on what I’m sure will be quite a ride. Join me?

Set Fire to the Rain by SunshineGal3

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7056954/1/Set_Fire_to_the_Rain

Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Drama, AH
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: A woman whose job is to bring people back from the brink of self-destruction. An alcoholic who prefers his addiction to facing his demons. Everyone has given up on him...everyone but her.

"Edward," Dad speaks again, more softly this time. "You need to have a seat, son. It's your sister's wedding for Christ's sake."

I roll my eyes, the lightheaded feeling coming back again. I have to hold my arms out to steady myself while taking in a deep breath. "I'm sure that's what you think, Daddy Dearest," I grumble. "But you don't have a fucking clue what I need." I move to charge past him, but he reaches out and grabs my arm tightly.

"I'll do it," he whispers harshly into my ear. "There are officers right outside this room, Edward. You know I won't hesitate..."

"To have me arrested? Again?" I ask incredulously. "What a fucking stand up guy you are, Doc. Having your own son arrested, and at your little girl's wedding no less." Yanking my arm from his grasp, I continue toward the bar, leaving him frozen in shock. I don't know why he's so surprised - this is the Edward he knows...and he helped make me this way.

Thus begins the sad and mysterious tale of a broken man and the woman who refuses to give up on him. We meet Edward Cullen at his lowest, making a complete spectacle of himself at his sister Alice’s wedding.

There is so much tension between his family and himself that you can really feel it through the author’s words. We then meet Bella, a rehab therapist, working at the rehabilitation center that Edward has been sent to. He is an alcoholic and has no want to change that. Rehab is the very last place he wants to be but when confronted with the choice of rehab or prison, it makes the decision for him. He has 30 days to turn himself around and yet he wants nothing to do with any of it.

This story is brand new and I’m so enraptured already. The author really does a fantastic job connecting us with the characters and I can’t wait to see the interaction between Edward and Bella and what kind of chemistry they have together. My heart breaks for Edward as he enters this world, meeting people that want to see him succeed, even if he is the last person to have faith himself.

Genre: Horror

Summary: People are dying in the close knit town of Forks, WA. Does the new kid, outcast Edward Cullen, have something to do with it? Or is there something more going on in this small town? Can Bella Swan figure out the connection? Or will she be the next victim?

Are you like me and love watching a great scary movie with the lights turned off and the door locked? Then this is the story for you. I was captivated from Chapter 1 where we meet Sam and Emily, a young sweet couple of seventeen having a private, not-so-tender moment on the beach, living out a fantasy. The imagery is fantastic and really sets the scene; as a reader, you feel what the characters are feeling from the chill of the water to the heated skin that slowly becomes exposed. Then we are introduced to another character, a hunter who watches his prey and strikes behind a hockey mask. We feel the fear of our young couple but what is extraordinary with this well done 3rd person is that we also feel the exhilaration the killer is experiencing at the same time.

The killer jerks Sam's head back harder, eliciting a gurgle of pain, as he pulls the blade slowly across his throat cutting into his skin deeper. Euphoria cascades over his body as the first rivulet of blood runs over his fingers making him grumble with pleasure, and he plunges the knife in deeper severing the main artery completely. Blood is spouting out of Sam's neck slower and slower as his heartbeat starts failing, sprinkling the white sand in the crimson fuel of life.

"Nooooo!" Emily screams, immediately placing her hand over her mouth in horror and regret; Regret that she's reminded the crazed killer of her existence. Scrambling to get up from the blanket that Sam had laid out, she tries to convince her frozen muscles to start running.

We are slowly introduced to our cast of main characters; a loner, new kid Edward Cullen, who is bullied and mocked; to Bella Swan, a girl haunted by a tragic loss over a year ago. The death of her classmates brings up memories Bella would have rather stayed buried. The population of Forks High slowly begins to decrease and bodies begin to pile up. Suspicion quickly turns to the pierced outsider Edward as his mysterious past cast a shadow in Chief Swan's vision.

The authors writing this story do a wonderful job with the the mystery and building the tension through this story. It's only 4 chapters in and the story is brilliantly done. They really make the fear and terror palpable I’m having the best time reading so why don’t you join me? I mean if your brave enough.

"Who the fuck is there?"

Eric is scared, and that is exactly what the killer wants. The killer can smell his fear in the air as they toy with their prey.

As Eric makes out the faint glow of light at the end of the room, he takes a step forward. But, before he can move again searing pain shoots through his leg as a flaming sharp blade cuts through his Achilles tendon. Eric crumbles to the ground screaming in pain, gripping his leg, panic rushing through his veins. He tries to stand up again in an attempt to escape, but his tendon is severed making it impossible to stand.

He knows that he must get out of there. He knows that his life is in danger and the killer knows that they are going to enjoy this kill just as much as every other kill. Eric begins to slowly crawl towards the light, towards salvation, towards life. The killer slowly follows him, inhaling the air around them, savoring the metallic smell of his blood, dripping red from his wound.

The killer allows Eric to climb up a few stairs, giving him hope, toying with him before grabbing onto his injured ankle, yanking him harshly down a few steps, his head hitting a few stairs in the process.

"Argh!" Eric cries in agony, rolling over onto his back as he tries to see who is doing this to him. What he finds both confuses and scares him so much so that he is at a loss for words. He is so petrified that he can't even find the power to scream. The look on his face is enough to satisfy the killer's morbid desire. Eric's fear is his own personal brand of heroin.

What Eric sees before him appears to be a man with a painted white face, blue eyeshadow and black lips staring at him. An evil murderous clown looks down at Eric, a smile pulling at the corners of his black lips, showing black tinged teeth. Eric sees the killer raise a big axe above their head and just before they bring it crashing down into Eric's body, the killer says, ""Boo!"

Breach by Catastrophia

Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Angst
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: Overworked lawyer Bella Swan gets help in the form of new hire lawyer Edward Cullen. Weber & Weber has a strict non fraternization policy. What Weber & Weber doesn't know won't hurt them. Rated M for some hot hard Lemons and language. AU/AH

Have you ever been told not to touch something and then all you wanted to do was touch it? Well so have Bella and Edward in the story Breach by Catastrohia. The thing they have been told not to touch is one another. So what do two smart lawyers do when the firm they work for has a strict non fraternization policy?

He was a cocky son of a bitch a lot of the time. I eyed him sideways, trying not to give myself away. After most people had left he had taken his suit jacket off, loosened his tie, popped the top buttons of his shirt open, and rolled up the sleeves. Why, oh why, did he have to look like that just feet away from me?

"With all of the times you have said 'fuck' tonight I think I know what you really want, what you need."

"Oh really? What is it that I need?" I asked, getting more pissed off and turned on at the same time. That couldn't be good.

"Cock. You need a fucking hard cock in your pussy."

Holy. Fuck. Did he just say what I think he just said? Sure did. My eyes were wide as my jaw dropped.

"Oh, and you are an expert on what my pussy needs?"

"Yes. And it fucking needs a cock in it."

"And what makes you think this?" I tried to keep my voice steady, but it wasn't working. He was right.

"I can tell."

"Well, fucking finish so I can go home and get off with Bob. He might not be flesh and blood, but he gets the job done."

His eyes darkened as I gave him the vision of me playing with my pussy and shoving a vibrating dildo in and out. Hell, the image was turning me on.

I didn't quite remember how we got here, but in a split second we went from arguing to me being pushed up against the wall. His hands pinned my arms to the hard surface and a shuddered breath escaped me. I licked my lips, my body lighting up at his aggressiveness. I watched his eyes darken before his face moved next to mine.

"Does that turn you on?" he whispered in my ear, his lips tracing the shell. I resisted the urge to turn my head in order to find his lips. I desperately wanted to. To feel them against mine, to taste him. Mmm, all of the ways I wanted to taste him. My body betrayed me, bowing into his.

"My, my, aren't you a naughty girl panting for it. Tell me, Isabella, are you a dirty whore that likes to be fucked?" he asked, his voice was deeper and slightly rough, sending tingles throughout my body. I would fuck him in our office. I would do whatever he wanted if he would just touch me. I wanted him. I needed him to take me and something inside told me he was up to the task. He could bring me the pleasure I could never find with anyone else.

His hips rocked forward pushing his rock hard cock into my stomach. My body was on fire. I couldn't think, I couldn't speak. How was he doing this to me?

"Answer me," he demanded, his hands swiftly pulling my arms above my head. "Are you a dirty whore that likes to be fucked?"

I sucked in a ragged breath. "Yes," I whispered.

This is a wonderful example of the push and pull, the fighting of desire and the ultimate battle of wills that you find in these characters. The author is quick on her feet and delivers lemons that I have never seen in fic before. The anger, the need and the sheer desperation roll off the screen. This story is not for the faint of heart, it deals with some serious sexual situations but everything is integral to the story line. This is a great example of a smutty story delivering an intriguing plot. I am captivated at what has brought these characters to the place in their life that has broken them so much. I also can see the love that is building between them and at the core this is a story of redemption and healing. Only nine chapters in so far and we are beginning the journey to love. Will all the hiding and hurt be worth it in the end? I can’t wait to find out!

Why was he punishing? He was punishing me for attracting him and letting him do what he wanted to me. Punishing himself for wanting me and doing what he wanted to do to me. Punishing us for our breach.

Summary: When the prophecy of war reaches the cusp of reality, Alice and Edward enlist to join the Volturi Guard. His priorities shift when he meets his Match. What do you do when the person that was made for you belongs to someone else? AU M for lang & vampsex

il Sensale is the brand new, intriguing story from Kassiah. She is creating a whole new world in this AU Vamp story. Vampires are at war and Edward is fighting for his sister Alice’s freedom, from a cause she herself is dedicated to. The story opens with a glimpse of the price Edward is willing to pay to see his sisters future secure and free from the grasp of the Volturi.

"So we have an arrangement?"

Pressing his hands together, he circled me like the predator he was—the predator we all were. Thoughts full of appraisals and devious plans flew through his mind so quickly I could barely register them. Then again, it was understandable; he was trying to keep me out.

No matter though. I heard them all as if I were the one making them.

"Your terms," he murmured in a low tone, his calculating gaze flashing to mine. "Repeat them."

He knew the terms. He also knew he was going to accept them—that much was readily available to me in his mind. He just wanted to force me to explain again, to show that he was the one in control. There was no need—we both already knew that.

"In exchange for my sister's freedom, I will agree to…" I paused, thinking of the most diplomatic word to use in this situation. "…observe the other contestants and report my findings back to you."

Edward is entering a war that he does not believe in and fears the worse. Alice is dedicated to the cause and feels that this is her destiny. The story is two chapters in and I, as a reader, am CAPTIVATED. The sense of devotion he feels to her is overwhelming and the fire in this Alice is refreshing. It seems their canon abilities are intact and make them very, very intriguing to Aro; so much so that he agrees to Edward’s terms but at what cost? Come immerse yourself in this spectacular interactive world that Kassiah is creating one chapter at a time.

Yeah, You by Marvar

Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Humor
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: Bella starts a new school and is instantly attracted to Edward. Is the feeling mutual? Does her sister's wedding get in the way of her happiness? Read and find out. There's also a geek, French exchange student, and some laughs. Inspired by an 80s movie.

So, I have two loves in my life, one is reading fanfic the other is 80’s movies. I grew up in the late 80’s-early 90’s and one of my all time faves is Sixteen Candles. So when I stumbled upon Yeah, You and find its a fic inspired by one of my favorite movies ever, I was ecstatic. The amazing thing about it is that it takes the story line of Samantha and Jake Ryan and really gives it the Twilight twist. It’s not a carbon copy; it is it’s own entity with just some great flavoring. You have all the usual suspects, Bella is the new girl who is immediately attracted to the star of the High School, Edward, but as her new bestie Alice informs her he’s taken, by the queen of Forks High, Tanya (dun dun dun). But all is not what it seems. Is there trouble in paradise for Edward and Tanya or is all just an illusion? The supporting characters MAKE this story for me, Jasper and Edward have the funniest scenes in the whole story. The author really knows how to write teenage boys and how they like to mess with each other.

"It would have been a travesty to waste a perfectly good keg, Wimpward. It goes against the man code. Do I have to teach you everything?" Jasper stretched his arms over his head. "And you can stop eyeing my goods. I knew the sight of me in all my glory might be too much for you to handle. Yes, this is what a real man looks like."

I shoved him back onto the futon. "Fuck you, Whit-cock. I think you have a little crush on me. I'm surprised I woke up dressed this morning." He grabbed me in a headlock and we proceeded to wrestle for a few minutes. "See, I told you that you couldn't keep your hands off me," I grunted as he gave me a charlie-horse in the thigh. "Damn it, Jazz, we gotta go. I know you are hoping I'll touch your manhood, but that day will never come."

I thought about the situation we were in. Wrestling in our underwear. "You do realize that this is completely fucking gay, right? An elastic malfunction and we're sixty-nining." Yeah, and last night I got fondled by Bella's male-escort. This twenty-four hour period has proved to me that I'm completely hetero.

"Dude, I'm completely secure in my sexuality. Don't put your hang-ups on me."

This is a fun story and had me laughing chapter after chapter. The characters fumble through love and misunderstand after misunderstanding, but in the end it’s the sweetness of Edward and Bella that leaves you swoony! Some of my favorite scenes from Sixteen Candles have found their way into the story. There is a certain foreign exchange student *Le Donger* that makes quite a splash and does a certain Homecoming Queen lose some hair?? I think she does! This is a story not to miss. The author has a wicked sense of humor and such a way with writing words. I will leave you with some words of advice that Bella receives from Le Donger.

"You may need two hands for zee Edward cock."

Don't Stand So Close to Me by Elyse Gaines

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6653645/1/Dont_Stand_So_Close_to_Me

Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Angst/Romance
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: When Bella meets Edward, they share one memorable night in a club. Although she hopes to see him again, when she does, it's in the place neither of them expected. Rated M for language and yummy lemons ahead

When Bella Swan walked into a nightclub in Seattle, Washington her life was flipped on its axis. As she is snubbed by the female bartender for another patron, she finds the man of her dreams looking back.

"I'd like a Johnny Walker Black, neat, and my friend…" he looks from me to the bartender.

 "A Skinny Bitch, please," I say, never breaking eye contact from those fucking eyes.

 "A Skinny Bitch," he laughs, "what an interesting choice…" the way he trails off tells me he's looking for my name.

 

 "Bella," I breathe, extending my hand.

 "Bella," he repeats and oh man if I didn't just come a little. "I'm Edward."

Thus begins a night neither of these vibrant characters are prepared for but neither can forget. The more Bella learns about Edward, like he just graduated from college and is moving from Seattle the next day, gives her the courage to take what she wants and not to lose this moment with him.

"Ugggggh," I say, panting.

"Bella, you are so beautiful," he says into my ear.

"God, I want you," I manage to get out.

"I want you too," he says. "Do you have a hotel room?"

Fuck. No, I don't, because we're staying with Alice's mother's friend. Fuck, fuck, fuck. "No," I say, softly, shaking my head. "Do you have one?" I ask, although I think I know the answer.

"No," he says, "I'm staying with my friend tonight since it's my last night in the city," he says, kissing my neck and tweaking my nipples with his fingers. My hips buck in response.

"Fuck," I say softly, and grind into him some more. I take a moment to look around the booth. There are people everywhere, and yet, they aren't looking anywhere near our booth. If I weren't in Edward's lap, they wouldn't even be able to see the top of my head of the back of this seat. Fuck it, who cares where I am.

I reach down between us and begin to undo Edward's belt. He bucks his hips toward me, pounding against my center as I work. Once I have it undone, I undo his button and fly, and reach in, against his boxers.

Things happen, words are spoken, notes and numbers are left. What would you do if you met the man of your dreams in a club in Seattle, have a mind bending physical connection with him and are left with nothing more than a number on a napkin? For Bella, she returns to her life in Forks and runs into the one person she hoped to see but never thought she would, especially where she does!

"Good afternoon, everybody," a familiar voice says.

I look up, startled, and feel my stomach drop.

Holy shit.

I don’t want to give too much away but I will leave you with this. Don’t Stand So Close to Me is an in-depth journey between what is right and wrong when you are dealing with love and choice. I fell head over heels for this Edward. He’s a swoony bastard! I found myself laughing and clenching my heart. You will love the characters as well as the plot line. The author is well versed in the art of falling in love and I for one am in love with her story!

Rating: M
Genre: Drama/Angst
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: The liberties he assumes with my body should enrage me, anger me beyond my own sanity. But it's just not that simple." Encounters born of need. Consequences neither saw coming. Guard your hearts. Not the ExB you're used to. AH

One hand gripping my throat, the other securing my hands together and pressing them into the pillow in front of me.


My back to his front.


His pace is punishing, driving the bed against the wall with each thrust forward.

The only light in the room is coming from above the bed, dimmed to low.

Those are the first fifty-five words of the most intense scene I have ever read in fic. The prologue of this story is unrelenting, visceral, surreal, and captivating. Each word draws you into a sordid encounter between Isabella and a very domineering, relentless Edward. This story had me spellbound from chapter one; we are introduced to a hardworking, driven Bella trying to juggle school and a full time job at a five star hotel. It’s in this hotel, one early morning after a tiring shift, that she encounters Edward Cullen who has a proposition that is hard to refuse. An offer that makes Bella war within herself where her dreams and morals battle what is right and what is wrong.

I like this Bella. I feel I can relate to her and her struggles and understand her desperation. The author has taken the time to show us who she is, why she has made decisions she has and why she makes a decision that sets her on a dark and forbidden path. We are three chapters in plus the prologue and I am salivating for each and every update. The Edward we see here is not our run of the mill brooding CEO, he’s darker than that, more sharp and borders such a thin line of scary and sexy it keeps the readers as much on their toes as Bella. He’s cold, emotionless and then when he flips the switch it leaves you breathless. Here’s a taste...

"Use your words, Isabella."


"Ye-yes. Yes, I accepted." My words are breathy...spoken through pants.


"Mmm. Yes, you did, didn't you? Of course you did. Showing up right on time, doing as you're told." He fingers the front flap of the robe to illustrate his point. "So eager."


Never easing his grip on my hair, his head moves around and to the right side of my face. Along my jaw and up to my ear, his nose never makes contact as he inhales one, long breath. At the end of it, he exhales slow and long into my right ear.


"I can smell you. You're so fucking ready. Do you want my cock, Isabella?"


His words ignite a feeling in my stomach that panics me. What's he doing to me? It's warm and weighted. It roots itself there and the sudden warm wetness between my thighs takes me by surprise. I have an overwhelming urge to move.


To touch.


To writhe.


So quickly that my breath catches, he uses his grip on my hair for leverage and turns my body around entirely, facing away from him and toward the table. The front of my thighs press into the edge where my hands were previously. Desperate for a way to ground myself, my hands shoot out in reflex and I spread them down flat on the black, granite surface of the table.


He pushes on my head and I bend forward at the waist. The feeling in my abdomen heightens. Every nerve in my body is on high alert. The feeling is completely unfamiliar. The sensations he invokes with so little touch is astonishing. It's overwhelming, yet I can't find a single reason to stop it.


I feel only his body heat as he rests both palms down just outside of my own on the table. Once again, close but not touching me. I fight the urge to press back against him. Something tells me that it wouldn't be well received.


My wet hair hangs on either side of my face and I clench my eyes in anticipation of what's coming next. His head lowers to my right ear.


"Now that we've established that you can fall in line, have a seat, Isabella.

This is a story to savor, it is thought provoking and the heat already leaves you desperate for more. I hope you decide to take the journey and jump head first into this story, I am excited to see where we go from here.

Rating: M
Genre: Drama/Angst
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: Winner in the Beyond the Pale Contest. BxE, OOC, Rated M for mature themes and explicit content. "As she walked by, he imagined traces of her lipstick left on his neck… then his stomach and..."

Bella parted her scarlet lips, the tip of her tongue barely visible, she asked, "What do you want?"
 As Edward cocked his head, he chuckled. "Week after week you ask the same thing. Do you not know the answer to that question by now?"
She knew he wanted to fuck her, but she didn't know how he wanted to be fucked. How could she possibly know if he preferred to start with a blow job or simply take her from behind?
"No, Edward, I can't read your mind. Would you care to enlighten me?"
The truth was, Edward had hoped, just as he always had, that Bella could read his mind. He would have paid one hundred times her amount if she could… maybe even more.
"I'd like you to undress me… slowly," he said.
Bella strode toward Edward, gliding the tips of her nails along his scalp once she reached him.
She loved the feel of his hair between her fingers, soft and thick and just the right length to pull when she came, should she be in the position to do so.
Bella touched the tip of her nose to Edward's jaw and inhaled; he'd recently showered. The scent of his soap was still strong on his skin. She slid her hands underneath his jacket, removing it slowly per his request, and let it fall to the floor.
Edward's hands went to Bella's breasts, and he was delighted to discover she hadn't worn a bra. Her nipples immediately became erect from the touch of his thumbs circling them.
"How do you want me?" Bella's lips barely touched Edward's ear as she loosened his tie.
"Under me. I want to fuck you hard tonight." Edward squeezed her tits, his erection apparent as she brushed her stomach against his crotch.
"Of course, Edward. Will you fuck me so hard I'll ache tomorrow?"
Bella wasn't taunting him; it was merely her request.
"Yes."

…..Oh sorry! Just rereading that passage made me forget what I wanted to say LOL. It is no secret that the author of this story has a knack for erotic material, and this winner from the Beyond the Pale Contest does not disappoint in that area. What is surprising is the author’s ability to invoke such emotion and depth from the written word. I am flabbergasted by the rawness of this story. When 22blue decided to expand this story I was thrilled and she was very quick to let us know that Bella and Edward’s journey would not be a smooth one or uncomplicated.

"Sir! I'll have to call security if you don't leave." She steeled herself in front of Edward. It didn't matter that Edward towered over her; she was not intimidated by him. "Only family members are permitted."


Edward stepped back, one hand forcibly raking through his hair, the other on his hip. His eyes were swollen, bloodshot, and his face was stained with tears. "I am her family!" he screamed desperately, earning wide-eyed looks from other staff members. The nurse shook her head at another who silently offered to call security. But Edward hadn't noticed the exchange – all he could see through the tempered glass window was Bella lying lifelessly in the hospital bed. "Please," he begged, his voice cracking. "I'm all she has.

This brand new story from 22blue does have dark themes and carries some warnings but in my opinion, I have never read a story more honest to the characters. The emotions and the battle for survival from a tortured mind is phenomenally portrayed and with each and every chapter I find myself holding my breath, searching for comfort right alongside Bella and these are things I find incredible in a story. If you love a thought provoking, beautifully written story this might just be your new favorite its easily one of mine.

Sex Shops & Lollipops by il-bel-mondo

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6136566/1/Sex_Shops_Lollipops

Review by Obsmama

Rating: M
Genre: Humor/Romance
Characters: Edward/Bella

Summary: Bella's a determined professional, her career takes priority in her life. With no time to date she decides to get herself a B.O.B. When it leaves her less than'satisfied' she returns to the store & meets a sexy manager who offers to show her the bunny way

When I stumbled upon this story, I thought to myself ‘how could I not read it with a title like Sex Shops and Lollipops?’ Come on! I went in blind, had no idea of the storyline or what other’s feeling were on the story and what I found was so much more than just a tale of a sexually frustrated woman and her bunny. I found humor and snark; I found a talented storyteller and an Edward to die over. I found UST that left me breathless, and more than that I found a character I could relate to on so many levels in this Bella. We begin this journey meeting a sexually frustrated and tired Bella, who is a medical intern. She is working long sporadic hours and is in need of a “friend”. So, on a whim she decides to head to West Hollywood and pick up her own B.O.B.

"Is there something I can help you find?" A southern voice as smooth as a good whiskey drawled from beside me. I turned, and he grinned widely at me. "I'll take it from the lack of speech and the wide doe eyes that you're a virgin." When I coughed and started sputtering and choking on nothing he added, "I mean in the shop...a virgin here to the store...a first-timer." The wicked glint in his ocean blue eyes told me he knew exactly what he'd said.

"I'm too busy with work to date." Yes, this was the only solid, complete sentence my brain could form, and I had word vommed it all over his pretty boy toes, peeking out from the straps of some Birkenstocks. But even with my embarrassment, the damned evil cowboy dressed like a hippie, winked, nodded, and with his hand still at my elbow walked down the center aisle.


"You look like you could handle yourself in the right situation...and by that I don't mean handle yourself. You're no wimp, prissy girl...I can sense the tough in you, but I still think you're a pinky." All the wrong sexual innuendos I'd heard at work and throughout my life exploded in my frontal lobe, and once again I was stammering at the blue-eyed devil. "This is one of the most popular with your type. And by type, I mean strong, virginal, hard working, pinky persona."


With a final wink, he slapped a rectangular black box in my palm before pointing toward the register. The slinky blonde working the till nodded at him and waved me over. Who knew? It looked like he got commission on my potential orgasm inducer. I started giggling at the momentary thought of percentage per production. Multiple orgasms would equal a higher commission rate.


The woman at the counter rang up the black box-that I hadn't even bothered to check over-and in a too nasal voice said, "With the discount, it'll be thirty-four dollars on the dot."

"Discount?" I mumbled incoherently. I got a nod in return and a flick of blonde hair in the direction of Winky the devilish Cowboy. He grinned, and I handed over my credit card. And as I signed my name on the receipt, I realized I was glad I no longer shared a bank account with the paternals. Think of the fun conversation you're missing out on. "Bella, what did you purchase at the Pleasure Chest? Do we need to have a talk? Is there something you're keeping to yourself? You don't have to...just talk to me."


Again with the hysterical giggling as I walked away from the counter. I was pretty sure I was laughing and clutching at the solid black plastic bag like I was some junkie that had just scored with my drug of choice. Oh, sex toy...you are my personal brand of heroin.


But things don’t go quite as planned on her “date” with the new toy and she is left frustrated as ever. When she decides to return the object of said frustration, she meets the green-eyed smirk of the shop owner and the UST starts immediately. The way this Edward handles this high strung Bella has me breathless with laughter and panting for more. When he tracks her down and presents her with a new toy and an offer to show her how to use it, what girl would say no?

Things are never as easy as one intends them to be and as Edward gets to know Bella and her tale of sexual woe, he no longer wants just a lust filled evening with her but to get to know this crazy, smart, funny beauty. Not to say that while they get to know each other he can resist showing her what true sexual pleasure that new toy can bring her.

"Just relax, Bella." His words ghosted over my stomach as his hands moved my own back to the bedspread.


I was so close to sitting up and asking what the fuck was wrong with him that he didn't want my pants off, when I heard something that instantly made me wet and my body tighten up.


The steady and slow whirring of the Rabbit sounded like heavy bass on an amped up radio. Deafening.


"Fuck me," I whispered to myself in anticipation, sure the epic buzzing had drowned out my words.


"Not quite yet," Edward responded. My head shot off the mattress enough to see a grinning Sex Guru with very hooded eyes staring back. I watched as he ran his fingers over the top of my thigh and noticed that under his gaze all the noise fell away.


His other hand moved while I was entranced, the long graceful digits tracing circles just below the rise of my hip bone. There was a sudden pressure right where my clit was hidden under the seam of my jeans.


Tearing my eyes away from the dancing fingertips, I saw just what he was doing. Slick bastard he was. Poking its head out, literally, from between my legs was my brand-spanking-new see through shiny purple toy.


Hey there, friend, nice to finally meet you. Great my vagina was doing introductions now.
Edward bent, and I saw his tongue poke out of his mouth at the same time that the slow whirring was back and sending vibrations through my hoo-hah.


Sweet jesus in heaven, I thought - and may have even uttered into the darkness. My eyes shut, and my head slammed back into the bed. The dual combination of his mouth on my exposed flesh just above the waistband and the slight hum just below had me fisting the comforter tightly already.

This story is nine chapters in so far and I am already in love with the characters and pop culture references. Let’s just say the scene in a Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant left me with tears of laughter. The author has an amazing sense of humor and quite the flare for the citrus. Read, laugh, lust and enjoy!

Summary Bella wakes up to find a penis inside her vagina. Imagine her surprise when she finds out to whom it's attached. Rated M for language and lemons. AU.AH.B/E

So, late one evening last week I stumbled upon this story and of course with a summary like that, I immediately dove in! I have read a few things by this author before so I knew to expect, a well written, witty story but what I got was so much more. I fell in love instantly with this Bella, she is quirky and funny and so real to life. Her inner monologue has me in stitches, laughing out loud and snorting. This Edward is sexy and smart and the banter between characters is phenomenal. We meet Bella as she wakes up on her first full day on Isle Esme after a drunken night where she stumbled to bed. As she wakes up, disoriented, she mistakes the warm body next to her naked one for her ex-boyfriend back home, and as penis meets vagina in a drunken, half-asleep haze, two strangers make hot bedfellows! What ensues after is pure comic fun and as our Bella is exposed to one embarrassing situation after another, a strange camaraderie is born between these two. The story is 4 chapters in and I can’t wait to read more. Here is a taste of what to expect on the Isle of Esme.

"Well, this is embarrassing," I commented.

"Not being able to reach your book or what you wrote in it about my cock?"

Fuck! This was the worst day ever. I wanted to rewind back to the part where I was hungover, warm and comfy in bed, and had Edward moving inside me.

I squeezed my eyes shut and didn't answer. He'd read more than just his name and the title of the entry, apparently. He must have read the ending, too. I hoped that was all he had read.

I brushed the bark off my hands and reached down to grab my drink. I took a big gulp, praying he'd laced it with arsenic like the girly-man murderer he was.

"More embarrassing than when I caught you using the dildo?" he teased, but didn't let up. "More embarrassing than when you had sex with me while I was asleep?" He paused, but unfortunately, there was more. "More embarrassing than falling out of a hammock half-naked?"

I downed another large swallow and shook my head as the beverage burned my throat. "Mmm. Pretty much on par with those," I admitted hoarsely, coming to terms with my mortification and facing it head-on. This wasn't anything new to me, unfortunately. "But if I were to position them on a scatter plot of my humiliation, those would be on the lower end."

Summary: Edward has a hard on for the local diner girl. His roommate doesn't think he has the balls to pursue her. Can this Smooth Operator get the girl?

"Oh yeah baby, you feel that? You feel how hard you made me?" I chuckled lowly, my grin genuine.

I was winning.

"Mmm. You made me so wet tonight," she said, making my grin deepen into a smirk.

Oh I'm sure I did, baby girl. That's what they all say when I start working my magic.

"Can I put my long, thick cock inside you, baby?" I asked in my most innocent voice. Innocent, yet very naughty-boy-next-door was what I was going for tonight.

"Oh please! YES! Right there!" she quickly replied.

"Oh FUCK YES!" I grinned.

I just hit the jackpot.

"I want all of you." Her voice was mixed with heavy breaths. She was so into this.

"I am ALL IN, baby girl...All mother fucking in." I bit my lip.

I was feeling so lucky tonight.

"Harder," she panted. "Talk to me."

"You want me to really give it to you? You want me to pound you with my thick cock? I'm gonna give it to you so hard, baby." I could hear how wet she was. Her moans were getting louder. I knew it wouldn't take much more.

"Uhhh...Mmmm..." She couldn't even speak, she was so worked up. And understandably so. We had been at this for over 20 minutes already.

"I'm so close to getting mine, baby."

I was going to get it so good in just another second.

She kept moaning, and I threw in a few of my own moans too for good measure.

And then it happened.

I completely lost it. No. I mean. I lost it—ALL. I had gone all in on this online poker bet, and I lost everything.

"FUCK!" I yelled, slamming my fist on the desk in front of me. There goes this week's pay-check.

"Uh Uh UHH AHHH!" and she's done


That's right ladies and gents, our Edward in this story is a phone sex operator. Could you even imagine the amount of business this could generate? That is not even the best part! This is fun, fast paced story that comes to us by a new author giving us a great male perspective because he is one! Edward is living with his best friend, Rosalie, but pining after the lovely waitress, Bella, at an all night dinner that he frequents. He can’t get her out of his mind or dreams and lands himself in some awkward situations, like training a new recruit, Jasper, who Edward takes a disliking to from the start. This story has me in stitches each and every chapter and really plays around with the relationships of the characters in ways I have never seen before. Take Edward and Rose’s relationship friends for years, coworkers, and where does the line of friendship blur? Have no fear this is an ExB story, but in the real world, relationships are complicated and the author does a phenomenal job showing that. There is a great RPOV that was guest written by none other than KiyaRaven author of The Screamers and other great fics.

We watch as Edward fumbles and tries to gain the affections of Bella after a disastrous attempt to ask her out where he is rejected. Alice, also a newbie at the phone company Edward works for, hatches a plan to gain the interest of Bella and Jasper respectfully. Hilarity ensues and as Edward makes progress with Bella a new road block is thrown in his way in the form of her brother, The Man-Bear. Yes...Emmett is Bella’s overbearing cockblocking sibiling. I can’t tell you how much I laugh out loud at this tale of love and obstacles as we watch Edward make one bad decision after another. This is an endearing story with wonderfully written characters 12 chapters in. I would love for you to join me in reading this fun tale of love and friendship and dirty talk! You never know who might answer that phone when you call it could be the Southern Cowboy or the Cable guy. Come on and give it a try!

"Oh, oh cable guy…" I heard another moan. "I have my main channel wide open."

"I need to insert my tool into your channel to get you what you want. Open wide for me, baby. My tool is big and hard." I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my eyes.

Summary: As fate would have it, Bella and Edward meet in unlikely circumstances. Bella is held prisoner and Edward can't leave her behind. AH, AU, Canon. Short story. A period piece, set in a Wild West time. Rated for Mature audiences only. Fluffy and Lemony.

So, on a Friday evening, I stumbled across this unexpected gem that had me captivated from chapter one. I had never read a western fic and was very interested from the get go. I must say, it is an action packed ride from the start with some great realistic touches. You feel transported to the Wild West, a time of ruthless Indians and the prospects of a whole new world. We meet the Cullen’s as they make the trek from the east to a sleepy little town in Washington. Towards the end of their journey, they are met with danger and death when they are kidnapped in the middle of the night by a group of savage Indians called the Modocs. This is when the action begins and where Edward meets another captive in the form of a pale, beautiful, scared girl named Bella. Quickly, fearing for his life and that of his family and this strange but captivating girl, Edward formulates a plan for escape.

She awoke with wide eyes and when she saw me, she relaxed. "No screaming," I told her. I removed my hand and cradled her in my arms. "Let's get out of here," I said. I started off in the direction of our old camp, but I felt like I was missing someone. I could see Emmett carrying Rose and Dad and Mom connected by their hands. Bella was still at that rock where Alice had been, just staring at it.

I put Alice down on her feet and told her to run. She did but watched me the whole time as I went back for Bella.


"Bella, look at me." She didn't. "Bella, we need to get out of here. Come on." She still ignored me. "I won't go without you," I said. This made her look up. Her eyes were brimming with tears and I could see the ghosts that haunted her so clearly. "Take my hand," I told her. She did. "Now run."

They weren't far ahead, Alice was lagging, still watching for me and Mom and Dad wouldn't get too far ahead of her, or me. I sped up and pulled Bella along with me, not letting go of her hand. Alice kind of stopped when she saw me and turned slightly as I was coming. I grabbed her as I ran and she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Foolish girl," I hissed. "I told you to run."

"I was running," she said, hugging my neck tight.

And run they do. This story is 7 chapters and is complete it’s a fun paced read that shows you not only the depth of true love but what it can survive as well.

Her hands slid underneath my arms as she rubbed my chest and hugged me from behind, her body pressed against my back as she stood on her toes to whisper in my ear. "Edward, I'm ready to go home."

I gulped, quite audibly. My whole body was tense. My whole body. Her words kept replaying in my head. I'm ready to go home. I can't wait for you to be inside of me. I'm ready to go home. I can't wait for you to be inside of me...

I turned in her arms ever so slowly, and she met me with a smile that would have made an angel cry. "You are so beautiful, Bella," I murmured, brushing my fingers over the cheekbones that stained red at my words.

Summary: Bella Swan is a graduate student drawn into a world of dreams. Edward Cullen is a beautiful immortal vampire. High in the hills of the Tuscany region of Italy is a town called Volterra that inexplicably links these two disparate lives.

I felt the breath on my neck again, and I swore I felt a soft cheek nuzzling and kissing my neck.

"I love you, my exquisite Isabella."

I gasped awake, shuddering, coming and moaning. Panting, I ran my hands to my hair in disbelief. I must have been dreaming. "What…. the hell was… that?" I said to no one.

This is how we are introduced to Bella Swan, a grad student who is working on her Master’s thesis and is saying goodbye to her best friend Alice, who is leaving with her new husband to live in Paris for 3 months. She has watched as her best friend find her soul mate, her other half, and now they are embarking on a new life together while Bella longs to find the same. When she suddenly is struck with dreams of a mysterious stranger who is seducing her and making her feel things she never knew possible.


The kiss I felt upon my lips was soft and cool, yet oh, so sweet. I wanted to whisper a name, but my mind was cloudy, like my eyes. I felt another kiss; this one was deeper and I felt the need, the love and passion it held. My heart was filled with joy and I poured myself into the kiss. Strong, yet tender arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me close.

I felt a delightful chill run down my spine as I felt and smelled his sweet breath whisper in my ear, "My love… my Isabella…"

I felt such elation at the words and threw myself into the kiss with even more passion, if that were possible. I felt my love's kisses tenderly move down my neck and slowly across my collarbone. I moaned and felt us lay back onto a bed. I ran my hands up his strong, firmly muscled arms and began to unbutton his shirt. He subsequently made quick effort of removing my corset and skirt.

His mouth found my breasts and I groaned as he pressed his hardness against me. "My god… I love you," I whimpered and lifted my hips to rub against him.

His mouth suckled and tugged at each nipple in turn making me writhe with desire beneath him. "My sweet Isabella. Oh god, my sweet Isabella…"

Running parallel with Bella’s story is the story of a broken vampire, Edward, who is being kept in the basement of the Cullen house and being cared for by his family. He seems to be experiencing the same dreams as Bella, much to the astonishment of Carlisle, seeing how vampires don’t sleep or dream.

This story is a beautifully woven tale of mystery and history. We see how Bella and Edward knew of each other in the early 19th century and what a beautiful love affair they shared then. The author has an amazingly well thought out plot and without giving too much away, I must say some of the most original characters written in fic. There is so much to learn from these characters and I am so excited to see where she is leading us. I will leave you with a taste of what is in store for you as a reader.

He was ready to begin creating his trophy to Bella. He always started with the pictures. James had pictures of Bella walking to and from her truck, Bella leaving the library and Bella sitting in class. He had pictures of Bella on her patio, at her kitchen window and through her bedroom window, all in varying state of undress. These, of course, were his favorites, so he printed them much larger. The pictures of partially clad Bella he planned to lovingly place in the center of his creation – at its heart. He also had a letter from her mother, a hair elastic she had worn when jogging, a postcard from someone named Alice, a note she had thrown in the trash when working at the library, a carefully flattened Starbucks cup with the name of her favorite drink written on it and a pair of her panties he stole from the building's laundry room where she did her wash.

Her naked body was what he wanted; it was her naked body that needed to be hunted, controlled and dominated by his. This beautiful doe would be just another in his long list of prey. He had hunted in so many cities, each one of his prey had its own challenges, but by the time he caught her he was at the peak of his hunter's form

Summary: Edward Cullen has the plane ride of his life when a mysterious flight companion changes his life in the blink of an eye. Edward will need the help of his wife, Isabella, to right the wrongs of his past before it's too late.

Ever wish you could change the past or right a wrong? Well, Edward Cullen is given the chance of a lifetime on a return flight from La Guardia to O'Hare. A man claiming to know everything about Edward and his seemingly perfect life offers him the chance to undo his mundane existence and live the life he was meant to live.

"What the hell do you want?" he demanded of the big man, tired of playing whatever game he was unwittingly a part of.


"I don't want anything, Edward Anthony Cullen. Like I said, my job, as it was put forth to me, is to help you get your life, such as it is, in order before it is your time to go," Seth told Edward.


"Go where?" Edward asked the Seth person…being. Whatever the hell he was.


Seth shrugged his shoulders at Edward and said, "Wherever it is you believe your soul goes after you die."


"You're telling me I'm going to die soon?" Edward asked Seth incredulously. "Impossible," he went on. "I'm young; I'm in perfect health. I have more money than I can spend in this lifetime…probably more than I can spend in ten lifetimes. I am a powerful man. I can have what I want, when I want. I am not going to die anytime soon," he stated emphatically.


Seth shrugged his shoulders at Edward and regarded him shrewdly. "Big deal, Eddie. You are rich and powerful. You think the world should bow at your feet and you have no time for those you have deemed unworthy of you. But you can't have everything you want. You can't buy immortality and you can't buy the affections of your lovely Isabella.”

Edward has let his life pass him by, he married the love of his life Isabella in a lavish wedding in Italy 5 years ago, and instead of cherishing each and every day with her they eat dinners alone and sleep in separate rooms. For no reason other than his inexplicable ability to turn off emotions and become cold and distant. The author has created characters that even 3 chapters in, I feel fully invested in. The love that is between this Edward and Bella is what fairy tales are made of, the problem lies that neither has the bravery to express it.

The second thing that Edward noticed was by far the most enchanting. There his wife lay, sleeping peacefully in the chaise while the wind kissed her skin with its soft breeze. Isabella Marie was the most exquisite and magnificent creature he had ever laid eyes on, and his heart filled with so many different things he couldn't name them all if he tried. Need, want, shame, guilt, but most of all love.

Deep, wondrous, everlasting love.

I cannot wait to see were this author takes us. Will our Edward make things with his Isabella right? We haven’t even dealt with the other people in Edward’s life, yet. As the mystery of this story thickens I am excited to see more of this authors beautiful words and interesting plot. It is a wonderfully original story that has a great start.

Summary: Bella wanted to fulfill a fantasy - to be groped inside a crowded train. She gets her wish and more, when a sex-starved ex-convict decides she's fair game. ALLHUMAN. Mature but with plot

“I felt him squeeze my ass firmly, and then he leaned his face close to my ear, his stubble touching my cheek, and whispered, "You like it?"

Gah! This sets the tone for one of the hottest fics I have ever read. I came across this story and was so intrigued by the idea of meeting a stranger on a train and having a complete affair with a stranger, no strings attached, not even names given. We meet Bella, a criminal justice student who is finishing up her summer break. After an incident with her roommate, Rose, who was unwillingly groped on a train, it becomes a fantasy for our mild mannered Bella to have the same experience. It turns to such an obsession for her that she starts to dress provocatively to entice someone to act and touch her while she rides the train daily. Then one day as the summer was ending her fantasy comes true on a train from Seattle to Tacoma.

We experience the heat and fear of being caught as these two start to explore each other’s bodies on a crowded train car. We discover as they disembark from the train at the next stop that the perpetrator and participant in Bella’s fantasy is Edward, a troubled soul, fresh from prison on his way from Chicago to a small town in Washington to start fresh. The touching on the train is just a small taste of what’s to come for these two individuals who are like magnets.

When the fantasy has been played out and our characters separate they are not apart for long, as they both end up in the small town of Forks, tied in different ways to Charlie Swan, Bella’s father and Edwards sheriff in charge of his parole. When Bella learns of Edwards identity and he of hers the fireworks have only begun.

"Wanna go for a ride?"


"Are you out of your fucking mind?" This was Forks, for fuck's sake. Everyone knew me in this town. Little Isabella Swan, the apple of her father's eyes was not the horny girl who picked up strange ex-convicts on trains and fucked like crazy. I wasn't about to upset that image by consorting with the town's newest ex-criminal. "Get out of my way."


He was at least a foot taller than I was and a hell lot bigger. We were in between houses but if I shouted loud enough, somebody was bound to hear me.


"Relax, I'm just asking you out for a ride. This monster's big enough for two." He patted the bike, his voice cajoling.


Just a ride, my ass. He might be a fantastic lay but he was also a sociopath, with a personality bordering on narcissistic. The psychiatrist who tested him during his trial didn't call him a clinical nutcase but there had been a general consensus that something was definitely wrong with his head.


"Fuck off.”

The author does such a wonderful job at weaving the intense sexual storyline with the gripping plot line of what Edward is in Washington for, is he there to start over, or start his criminal life over? There is the best characterization of Jasper I have ever read in this story. The author takes the time to develop the characters and draw us deeper in the story. This story is amazing at 12 chapters in and I am so excited to see where the author takes us next! After each chapter I see the relationship growing and changing; it’s no longer just a physical need but a connection that neither can deny and each chapter leaves me panting for more. Here’s a little taste and I hope you go for a Ride.

I wasn't prepared for what I saw. His face was flushed, his pupils so dilated that his eyes were almost completely black. His heart thrummed in tune to my ragged breaths and it was hot...God, it was so hot that I suddenly wanted him off me but at the same time, I didn't. I was acutely aware of the length of his body against mine, of his cock pressing against my stomach. I wanted him around me, against me, inside me.

"My turn," he growled, freeing my arm so he could wrap his hand around my neck. I could feel long fingers on my skin, tilting my head to one side. He leaned down and flicked his tongue on exposed skin. I closed my eyes and let myself feel. Lips replaced tongue and I couldn't help but hiss as he tasted me; skin and sweat and heaving breaths.


"Stay still."


Even if I wanted to, I couldn't move. A hand around my neck held me firmly in place and I could feel his hand tighten a little every time I squirmed. His other hand fumbled with the button of my jeans, shoving them down roughly as his other hand pinned me to the wall.


"Look at me...look at me before I fuck you...look at me...”

A parent’s worst nightmare, a phone call from one parent to another asking where their child is because they never made it home from school. Well, that is exactly what happens to Edward in the first chapter of Blind Intentions by SammieLynnsMom. At the start of the story we are introduced to Edward Cullen, respected doctor, husband and father. We learn that he and Bella had a brief encounter in college, which leads to a son named Nathan. Even though they tried to make a relationship work, they found they were better parents than partners. We start the story eight years later right before Nathan’s 8th birthday, and we find Edward married to Tanya and co-parenting Nathan with Bella. They are friends and seem to have perfected the blended family from all outside appearances. Not everything is as perfect as it seems.

"Edward, where is my son?" she screeched through the phone.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, because really it wasn't like Bella to call me out of the blue. Out of the two of us, Bella was always the calmer parent. For her to call me, in a panic, was alarming.

"I asked where Nathan is! When I went to the bus stop to pick him up, the driver told me he wasn't there this morning. So I called the school and they said he was absent today."

"Bella, he was at home when I left. Let me call Tanya, maybe he woke up sick or something." Panic began to take over me as I hightailed it into my office. Tanya would have called me if she kept him home, at least she did last time. And I had talked to her earlier, she didn't mention anything.

I hung up on Bella, although not on purpose, so I could quickly dial my house number.

"Hello baby," Tanya's flirty voice filled the receiver.

"Is Nathan with you?" I asked quickly.

"No, it's not our day to have him. I dropped him at the bus stop this morning and…"

"So he's not home?" I interrupted.

"I just said…"

"And did you watch him get on the bus?" Every red flag in my brain was lighting up like a Christmas tree.

"Um no, but Ed.."

My fingers started working before my mind could catch up.

"Hello?" Bella was in tears, I could hear it in her voice.

"He's missing, Bella. He's missing."

It grips your heart and your mind, from the get-go and we are taken on a intriguing, and frightening mystery with this couple, and their families as they search desperately for their child.

"He's not dead, I'm his mother, I would know. Dad, he's not dead!" she kept repeating over and over again while she paced the living room floor.

"Bella..."

"No Edward, he's not..."

"Bel-"

"NO! HE IS NOT DEAD!"

And then she fell.

And then my world fell.

We had our answer.

This story is seven chapters in, and the more questions that are answered, the more questions we, as the reader, have. It’s a fantastic story with mystery and drama and heart clenching emotion. The author does a wonderful job replying to reviews and providing teasers and making each and every reader feel like they are taking this journey with the main characters. Make sure and check out this intriguing story.
