Until recently, Edward Cullen was pretty happy with his life: he enjoyed going to college and had planned to propose to his beautiful girlfriend Maggie, whom he had been with for seven years. Unfortunately for Edward, he finds said girlfriend ***king with his best friend and roommate Jacob. Needless to say, Edward is devastated and more than furious about the fact that the two people he trusted the most have deceived him so terribly. So when, after a few months of grieving, he finds out that Jacob has fallen completely in love with the new girl in town, he is adamant on seeking revenge. Edward plans on snatching Bella Swan away from Jacob and to make her his, so that his friend will learn the hard yet valuable lesson of what it means to be cheated on. What Edward doesn't take into consideration is that he could genuinely like Bella. It never occurs to him that he could actually fall in love with the brown-eyed beauty and before he knows it, the whole thing he has with Bella is no longer the part of an act anymore but real. His mission of seeking revenge gets pushed to the background when he spends time with this wonderful woman, who has stolen his heart completely. But what will happen when Bella comes to know that she was part of a game he played? Will he be able to convince her of his true love for her?

Once again, Livie79 has written a wonderful fanfiction! Even though you can understand Edward's hurt, you'll want to smack him every once in a while for being so stubborn and driven by hatred. The latter will melt away gradually as he slowly falls for Bella. And though it's great to read how these two get closer, you always have in the back of your mind that it probably won't last too long before Bella finds out the truth about his initial intentions. Once that happens, you won't be able to put the fanfic away, too eager to find out what happens next and how our two lovers get back together. Let me use this opportunity to say that Practice to Deceive definitely has a HEA! This fanfiction has everything that you could possibly want: from some well-described moments of pure emotions to wonderfully developed characters and a more than interesting plot. Though the fanfic is pretty well-known in the Twilight fandom, I can't help but be a little surprised whenever I come across people, who haven't read this fabulous story yet. Because trust me when I say that this story is totally worth the read!

Practice To Deceive consists of 28 chapters and 131,761 words. The story is rated M for language and sexual activities.
