A Southern Gentleman by Mrs. Brownloe
Honor, duty and gentility were the guiding principles of a southern gentleman. So, there was only one thing to do when Edward discovered the truth of something that happened long ago, something he was honor-bound to repair if it took him the rest of his life.
~What a moving period piece about the post-Civil War time! This wonderful story was on hiatus around six years and updated from out of the blue a few days ago and I love it!
Seven Nights by pattyrose
What starts out as a relaxing, seven-night Caribbean cruise with her friends and boyfriend turns out to be much more than Isabella Swan bargained for. That is, once Edward Masen boards the ship.
~A fun little story that has Bella questioning her commitments vs. her intense attraction.
The Undecided by MarieCarro
Bella thought she knew what her life looked like. It was normal teenage angst and high school boredom. However, one night proves her very wrong and she realizes everyone has been lying through their teeth. Bella isn't normal. Bella is a Witch. And she has a very important choice to make. B/E, Mature Content, AU/A(H)
~I am very interested in the magical/witchcraft genre of this story! As interesting as it is...and it may just be me, but I find it a bit hard to follow how this magical world is organized and connect the dots. Hopefully, we’ll get some answers soon!
Skyjacked by Sukiethree
When the unthinkable happens on the way to visit her brother, Bella finds herself in terrible danger. More than just the elements are against her and the others as they fight for survival on a deserted island. She finds not only safety in Edward, but also her soulmate. Will that be enough if they aren't rescued in time? Will danger continue to follow them?
~This exciting story is marked complete with an Epilogue 1, but I feel there are still unresolved issues to deal with. Here’s to an Epilogue 2 and future-takes!
Vacation Town by bicyclesarecool
Reeling and traumatized from the death of her father and her subsequent move across the country, Bella finds herself in a popular vacation spot-in the offseason. Here, she meets Edward, a boy dealing with his own ghosts, who she can't help but feel drawn to. Their tentative relationship grows as they learn to face their fears and learn that things might not be hopeless after all.
~Now marked complete with an epilogue! Bella's journey of rediscovering her heart, her hope, and her direction in life. Sweet story!
Crowned by chicagochi4183
In 2015, Europe is still ruled by Kings and Queens, and the lives of Princes and Princesses are not their own. Between the scrutiny, the rules, and the gossip, it's a miracle if anyone can find love. But Principessa Isabella doesn't seek love, only duty. And when well laid plans fall through, it is her duty to Italy to secure her best possible match.
~Interesting story of a modern day Italian princess who has been trained and groomed her entire life to follow protocol, maintain propriety and do what is best for her king and country. Will she ever follow her own heart?
Hotwired by savannavansmutsmut
Geeky robotic bio-engineer Edward Cullen decided to build his dream girl, modeling her after his high school crush, Bella Swan. His equally geeky and genius brother, Emmett, messed with her programming. Why else would his bot be acting so strangely…
~I have just started this story, but it looks very interesting!
The Longest Summer by lexiecullen17
Bella wants Edward...the only problem is, he's a counselor at her summer camp. And although Bella has always been one of Edward's favorite campers, that's all she'll ever be to him...right? When Bella returns as a counselor, can she change his mind? AH.
~This story is light-hearted, hilariously funny and sweet because every once in a while you just need that, right? Bella is returning to camp as a counselor herself at 18. When Edward sees her for the first time in two years, he is blown away by the knock-out woman she has become. Can he reconcile what he feels for her and their age difference (he's 25)? Let the hijinks begin!
Girl with a Red Umbrella by spanglemaker9
Co-Written w/justaskalice. Paris, 1950. Rosalie Hale went to Paris to study, then vanished without a trace. Her friend Bella has come to find her. Following a trail of clues left behind by Rose's letters, Bella searches for Rose and might find herself.
~This is an incredible coming of age story! We follow the reinvention of Bella Swan (and also Edward - because he's got his issues too!) She goes through an outward physical transformation, a psychological, emotional and sexual awakening, experiencing what it is like to love someone so deeply and completely and all the pleasures that go with it. Spanglemaker9 and justaskalice did so much research on period music, hairstyles, dress, and French culture!
Volition by Rochelle Allison
It's Belfast, N.Ireland and the year is 1972. Bella's worried about her brother and his best friend, Edward, and their dangerous involvement in the Irish Republican Army. Is it really wise to fall in love with a rebel?
~You've gotta love you some Irish brogue talking badass Edward! You will find an excellent plot and wonderful character depth depicting our gang as they live through the struggles between the Irish Catholics and British Protestants in the early to mid-seventies. Rochelle vividly portrays the frustrations, turbulence, and tragedies which are all based on historical accuracy and very realistic!
