This is a Vampire Edward, Human Bella Story - Rated T - 22 Chapters - Humor/Supernatural

This story is being re-written by the author, which is why this story has popped back up years after it was written, but as I had not read the story before, and the re-write is not yet completed, I have read and reviewed the original.

I did like this story, it is a tongue-in-cheek look at Twilight, with Lara, who is not a lover of the Twilight series, finding herself within the pages of the book, substituting for Bella.  So she decides to mix it up a bit. 

It is a very fast read and easy to do in one sitting.  There are some issues with grammar, but the story keeps you intrigued, so it doesn't detract too much.

A good read and I look forward to reading the new version too once it is complete.

This is a all human Edward and Bella Story - Rated M - 202 Chapters - Romance/Suspense

I really enjoyed this story, it is a wonderfully written Mafia Bella/ FBI Edward story. 

It is full of romance, lemons, drama and suspense.  It kept me intrigued and reading right to the end, although it did take me a few days to finish, at 202 Chapters, it is not a quick read.

The chemistry between Edward and Bella is great, the lemons are hot and plentiful but not overdone and the story has the right mix of drama and suspense entwined with the romance.

A definite must read.

My Review:  2.5 out of 5

This is a all human Edward and Bella Story - Rated T - 23 Chapters - Family/Romance

When I started to read this story I liked the plot and I was looking forward to how Edward and Bella would meet and fall in love.  

I felt, as the story goes on and we start on the romance portion of the story, as if the author was not comfortable with writing this genre and had some troubles developing the story as a romance.  Comes across as very naïve.  Which, unfortunately, lets it down, and I struggled to finish.

Overall it is an OK read.

My Review:  3.5 out of 5

This is a all human Edward and Bella Story - Rated M - 7 Chapters - Romance

I enjoyed this quick little story.  It is an extended version of the authors entry into the Control. Possess. Seduce contest.

Bella starts to work for Edward, who has some serious OCD issues, can she help his loosen up.

Edward can only handle so much from his new assistant before he looses control.

A slow boil romance, full of sexual tension with lemons in later chapters.

My Review:  5 out of 5

This is a Vampire Edward, Human Bella story - Rated M - 32 Chapters - Romance/Adventure

 

I loved this story, it kept me reading right until the end, I really liked the plot, but won't go into it too much as I don't want to give the story away.

 

It is a very sweet romance between Edward and Bella, with some nice lemons.

 

The story follows Twilight in a fashion with all of the regular cast showing up in places, though not always in character.  But with Bella being a time-traveller it puts a new spin on things.

 

A definite must read.

My Review:  3.5 out of 5

This is an all human Edward and Bella Story - Rated M - 66 Chapters - Romance/Hurt/Comfort

 

I did like this story, it is full of drama with both Edward and Bella have had a traumatic past, Edward has moved on and is living in the present, the same could not be said of Bella who struggles from day to day. 

 

I liked Edward's character more than Bella's, I found that she did frustrate me a bit, I know she has a lot of issues, but seemed reluctant to get help or move forward, and I felt that the story went around and around the same issues a bit.

 

But that being said, overall it is a good story, it has some nice lemons, lots of drama, a few twists and a nice romance to round it all out.
