Ms. Swan's Bookstore

Posted by Anonymous

Detectives Edward Cullen and Mike Newton are called to a homocide and are in the middle of carefully examining the crime scene when they hear a scratching sound coming from an antique armoire. With their guns ready they open the door of the furniture and find a young woman crouched down in a corner. 19-year-old Bella Swan was present when her aquaintance and roommate Lauren Mallory was stabbed from behind. Unfortunately, though, she can't remember anything she witnessed as her brain suffers from PTSD as a result of the traumatic events. As Bella is new in town and doesn't have family to go to, Detective Cullen offers to take her home and keep her safe. After all, she is the only witness of a first-degree murder and in extreme danger as long as the killer hasn't been found...

But even though Edward tries to keep things between him and Bella strictly professional, he can't deny the pull he feels toward her. While it might be his protectiveness that draws him to her in the beginning, soon his emotions run a lot deeper than that. The brunette beauty is quickly taking over his every thought and Edward can't help but wanting to find out more about her. Yet Bella seems to be an enigma; whenever he unravels one mystery another pops up. Meanwhile, the two get closer and closer and one game of Truth or Dare Jenga will change the status of their relationship forever. But will Edward be able to keep a clear head in investigating Bella's case or are his personal feelings for the victim a conflict of interests?

Given that Bedroom Confessions is JandMsMommy's first Twilight fanfiction you can only take your hat off to her. The story is nicely structured and each and every piece of information the reader gets is important and helps putting the puzzle pieces together. Unlike many other Edwards, this one is not afraid to bend the rules of ethics a bit. Instead of pushing Bella away because a relationship between the two is technically not allowed, he jumps right in and let's his emotions guide him. The two decide to not tell others about what's going on between them, at least until the case is solved and only openly show their affection behind closed doors. The few lemons that are included in the story are well written, yet, alas, a bit too short - but again, keep in mind it's the author's first story! ;-) Bedroom Confessions is written from Edward's and Bella's POVs and a wonderful fanfiction debut! It's a great crime story that will keep you on your toes! Recommendable!

Bedroom Confessions consists of 22 chapters and a total of 68,120 words. The story is rated MA for violence, some foul language and a few lemons. You can read the Portugues translation here and the French version here (the latter is not complete yet).
