My Review:  3 out of 5

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.

My Review:  5 out of 5

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.

Author's Summary:

At age 3, young Bella Swan was taken from her family and given the name Izzie Coates. Now 14 years later, she's in her senior year of high school and her life is about to get flipped upside down.

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.

Isabella Swan's new job doesn't go as planned. Not only has she been asked to fill in as the boss's assistant, a job that no one else was willing to take. Her new boss just happened to be the most difficult, arrogant and devastatingly handsome man she had ever met.

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.

Ordinary Girl by sparklymeg

 

Author's Summary:

Comfortable. Safe. Protected. Ordinary. This way no one can break her again. He's a beautiful stranger in a bar who is determined to be let in.

 

 

 

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.

Sometimes you need a healthy dose of luck to find it.

My Review:  4 out of 5

This is a all human Edward and Bella Story.  Rated M - 1 Chapter - Romance/Humor

This was an entry in the May to December Romance Contest.

I really liked this story, it is only a one-shot, but at 15000+ words, it feels complete.

Both Edward and Bella are older, 52 and 36 respectively and have gone through some drama in their past.  This is the story of why and how they meet and that instant connection that sparks regardless of the circumstance.

A sweet romance.

By Proxy by LyricalKris

Author's Summary:

Being a movie star is all glamour and privilege, right? Sure, if you call obsessive fans, prying paps, and the occasional threat of bodily harm glamorous, but Edward was used to all that. Bella worked behind the scenes until he accidentally brought her into the limelight and in the sights of someone dangerous. Mystery, action, and romance - welcome to Hollywood.

My Review:  4.5 out of 5

This is a all human Edward and Bella Story.  Rated M - 18 Chapters - Romance/Drama

I really enjoyed this story, it is a mystery waiting to be solved,  wrapped up in a romance.
Edward it a movie star and Bella is a stunt double.  They have great chemistry and they both have a snarky personality that feeds off the other.  Lots of great banter between them.

I don't want to give any of the plot away, I would say go read this story before reading the reviews on fanfiction as it is much better when you don't know who is the bad guy.

Well worth the read.

Bella Swan: The Enigma by BringAttentionToTheMatter

 Author's Summary:

When the Cullen's move to Forks they expect the High school experience they've done before, ignore people, hide their secret, don't kill the humans, but when they meet the mysterious Bella Swan, who's full of her own secrets, what happens? Edward can't read her and they suspect she knows what they are, they have to find out Bella's secrets to protect their own.

My Review:  3.5 out of 5

This is a vampire Edward, human Bella Story.  Rated T - 46 Chapters - Romance/Drama

The story is set in Forks with all of the usual characters appearing in much the same context as Twilight but with some definitely out of character. Bella is already living at Forks when the Cullen's arrive and she is hiding something from everyone.

There is a good dose of angst and drama entwined with the romance, as the Cullen's work to unravel the mystery that is Bella. 

I did enjoy the storyline and all the drama, but I did get frustrated with Bella at times, but then remembered that she is only a teenager with a lot of insecurities to overcome.

It is a T rating, so no hot sexy scenes, but it was not needed for this story to flow.

Key West: The Honeymoon by pattyrose

Author's Summary:

DeepDiver-ward and his Beautiful Bella have tied the knot and are now embarking on a long, catamaran honeymoon around the Caribbean. Sailing along the open waters without another soul in sight, Edward guarantees Bella a honeymoon she won't soon forget

My Review:  4 out of 5

This is a all human, Edward and Bella Story.  Rated M - 7 Chapters - Romance/Humor

This is a little added outtake bonus from the author's Key West story, giving us the details of Edward and Bella's Honeymoon.

I did enjoy this peek into their honeymoon, there is lots of hot loving as they cruise around the Caribbean.

You can read this as a stand alone story and still enjoy the read, but to really appreciate the characters and their sizzling chemistry I would suggest to read the main story first.  Key West is one of my favourite go to stories (a 5 out of 5) and once I finished reading this outtake I went straight back and read the original again.

Mr Cullen by Twilightaddict2007

Author's Summary:

The Cullen's come to forks but this time Bella is already there and the Cullens are the new kids, well everyone but Edward he's the new teacher. Fluffy story there will be very little angst.

My Review:  4.5 out of 5

This is a Vampire Edward, Human Bella story.  Rated M - 31 Chapters - Romance/Humor

It is an older story, but one that I had not read before.

I really loved this, it has all the main characters and is set in Forks and it mostly follows along the lines of Twilight but Edward and Bella both embrace the mating call. 

The story is full of lots of hot, steamy sex and sexual tension.

There are a few spelling issues, but nothing that will detract from the story.

Overall I enjoyed reading this story, not a lot of angst, a lovely romance between Edward and Bella and a whole lot of sex scenes.

After securing Chicago's wedding of the year for Tanya Turner, the elite socialite daughter of Turner Industries' CEO, Bella thinks all her hard work has finally paid off. It's just a shame she's already well-acquainted with the groom.

My Review: 4.5 out of 5

This is an all human Edward and Bella Story.  Rated M - 32 Chapters - Drama/Romance.

I loved this story, it has a good dose of drama and angst entwined with sexual tension and forbidden romance.

I thought it was well written, just when you thought it was going to all work out, something else would come up and cause them more drama.  It certainly kept me needing to read the next chapter.

A good story and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Stripped by RobzBeanie

Author's Summary

He catches my eye from the first moment I see him, the way he oozes sex. I have no idea what I'm going to do with him when I get him home. Sometimes cougar fantasies don't turn out the way you expect.

My Review:  4 out of 5

This is a all human Edward and Bella Story.  Rated M - 45 Chapters - Romance/Drama.

I really enjoyed this story of Older Bella and younger Edward.  This was an entry in the Meet the Mate Contest and has been extended to a Multi Chapter Story.

It is a lovely romance with some drama and angst.  It had a twist in the beginning that I was not expecting and I thought that the story really flows well.

You could really feel the chemistry between Edward and Bella and there is some very hot sex scenes throughout.

Overall I thought it was very nicely written and definitely worth reading.

My Review:  4 out of 5

This is a Vampire Edward, Human Bella story.  Rated T - 48 Chapters - Hurt/Comfort/Romance.

I enjoyed this storyline, it has a lot of drama and angst, but also a very sweet romance between Edward and Bella.  The story is set in Forks.

It is a meeting the mate story, with all of the usual characters. Bella has some issues to deal with and struggles to move forward from Charlies death and Edward is his usual sweet, innocent, tortured Vampire self who struggles with falling for a human.

A nicely written story, well worth the read.

This is a all human, Edward and Bella story.  Rated M - 30 Chapters - Drama/Suspense.

I really loved this story, it has the right balance of all the things that I like in a story, romance, mystery, drama and a bit of angst.

I enjoyed all the characters and was smitten with FBIward, he was just the right balance of hero and romantic.

Definitely a story that will go on my favourites list to be read again.

Concerto by Silque

 

Author's Summary: 

Edward Cullen is a concert pianist at the top of his career. He's also a 105 year old vampire. Isabella Swan is the anti-socialite who wins a private concert with him in her home. AU, but canon pairings and characters otherwise.

This is a vampire Edward, Human Bella story.  Rated M - 61 Chapters - Romance/Drama

I enjoyed this story, it is a nicely written, finding your mate, story, full of the usual characters, based mostly in Forks and follows along the basic Twilight storyline.

I thought the author has done a good job with the flow of the story, it does have a nice romance between Edward and Bella, filled with a bit of drama and some good sexy scenes. 

Overall it is a good story and worth the read.
