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.

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.
