Detective Edward Masen is superb at his job; he has everything it takes to be a successful secret agent: a certain hunch, the good looks that get him everywhere and anything, the power of deduction, as well as the ability to keep under the radar. Preferring to work alone rather than with a partner, Edward manages to solve even the most complicated mysteries and crimes. Yet behind all the success and satisfaction of doing good, the young police officer is thoroughly haunted by past. Each and every night, nightmares disturb his sleep as Edward is unable to get over the loss of family. They all died in a tragic accident - no, scratch that, murder - and have possessed Edward's every thought ever since. Always wanting to get into the FBI, he had worked hard to become a police officer at the young age of twenty-two. But after the terrifying events involving his family, Edward immediately diverted his educational tracks and became a detective, investigating the crime that took his loved ones from him. To alleviate the stress he is under, the young detective loses himself in meaningless one nights stand - that is, until one Bella Swan comes along...

Bella Swan - a top-notch chef - works at a restaurant that is not quite up to her level. With her amazing cooking skills, the place she currently works at is not paying her as well as it should. So when a certain Laurent comes up to her and offers her a position at his five star restaurant, Bella does not hesitate and accepts his offer. The restaurant turns out to be wonderful: Bella's new job in the kitchen is fantastic and the salary is great - nothing to complain about. But after a few days at her new work place, the young woman realizes that her boss might be involved in some illegal business. With the help of her best friend Alice's boyfriend Jasper, who is a cop, she tries to put the pieces together, but to no avail. Just when she starts telling herself that she might be imagining things, Bella stumbles upon further proof that fishy things are going on at the restaurant. In the midst of all this, she meets Edward, who happenes to have strolled by. The chemistry between them is shockingly strong, and the two of them end up spending a night with each other at Edward's place - which in turn stirrs feelings within Edward that he has never felt before. But will a gun in Edward's jacket make Bella think that he too is one of the criminals out to get her? And what will happen when Edward finds out that people Bella knows are involved in the murder of his family?

A Talionic Force  is a really good story that was completed just a little over a year ago and I must say that it has gained quite a bit of popularity in such a short amount of time! I think this fanfiction is definitely one of those that should be read no matter what. Agentward is so handsome and let's admit it, with his green eyes and bronze hair who wouldn't love this sexy detective? To top it off, his traumatic past really adds to the depth in his character and the readers will surely feel their hearts reaching out to him. The story has an interesting story line which will make you want to keep reading until you finally reach the end. Bella, too, goes through a great character development and is presented as a more than adept chef. The author is very thorough in describing her dishes and in some instances, I couldn't help but feel my mouth water at the tempting food descriptions! You will experience a little bit of everything in this fanfic, from sweet-loving romance to an action-packed climax. I highly recommend this story (written from both Edward's and Bella's POV) to everyone - it is so worth the read!!!

A Talionic Force consists of 29 chapters and a total of 134,822 words. The story is rated M for language, some crime, and sexual activities.
