Both, Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan, thought that they had everything going for themselves. Edward had a different woman every night and Bella never thought too much about relationships and commitment either. With Edward being an upcoming soccer star and Bella on her way of being a talented journalist, both of them also had their dream careers; so needless to say, life was pretty sweet. Until the night they meet, that is. Bella runs into Edward in an elevator and finds him caught in a passionate embrace with a "Leggy Blonde".  Though Bella acknowledges him as attractive, his sly smirks turn her away. But confident Edward isn't willing to give up so easily. When they meet at a cocktail party after a game, Edward is determined to make sure Bella knows that she's his. It doesn't take long for them to get into bed together, even though neither of them knows what to expect of it.

Incidents in their pasts have turned Edward and Bella jaded and relationship weary. For both of them, things have never gone the way they planned, causing them to develop a certain disdain for the r-word, yet they still find themselves falling hard for each other. As "vulnerable" has never been part of either of their vocabularies, they'll have to learn the hard way to trust and appreciate each other like they've never done before. When things finally seem to fall in place, though, they get thrown for a curveball that leaves them struggling to regain control of their lives. After all, in a world full of publicity, vengeful enemies, and crazy sexual tension, changing their ways isn't as easy as it seems. Will two people who personify trust issues be able to put them aside and believe in each other? Or will they let their pasts dictate their future? 

Evening the Score is a fanfiction that definitely leaves the reader intrigued. The thing I found very unusual yet also the most interesting about this story, is that Bella is just as much of a player as Edward. That's something that you don't see often in Twific, and it is quite refreshing. For all you readers out there, who are sick of only always seeing Edward in control, you'll definitely love this DH78's Bella; a Bella, who can definitely hold her own and does so repeatedly. She takes everything that Edward has to give and throws it right back at him. Bella Swan is no damsel in distress, that's for sure! The plot is interesting and very well paced. Though there are a few spelling and grammar issues, this fanfic is one that you shouldn't miss. If you're looking for some great sexual tension and strong characters, Evening the Score is the story you should read!

Evening the Score consists of 20 chapters and 103,266 words. The story is rated MA for foul language and explicit sexual content.
