Six years ago, New Zealand reporter Bella Swan met the man of her dreams. Ed, the charming, handsome, and immensely talented piano player, was everything she never knew she wanted in a man and he made her feel things that her husband of over ten years never could. Yet because of said husband, Bella forgoes any kind of relationship with Ed, who, she later learns, is none other than political prodigy Edward Cullen - a man on his way to become the next Prime Minister of his country. His future aspirations force Edward's and Bella's lives to cross almost daily. Being part of the official New Zealand press corps, Bella follows the career of the gorgeous bronze-haired man and once he starts his campaign, constantly covers the latest developments for her newspaper. All the time, her feelings for Edward never lessen and once she finally decides to divorce her unfaithful husband, she is willing to give a possible relationship with the newly elected Prime Minister a chance...

Edward Masen has only ever cared about one woman: smart and beautiful Bella Swan. For six years, he patiently waited for her while simultaneously running his campaign. After becoming the new Prime Minister of New Zealand one of his first goals is to make Bella his - even if he has to send the Navy to rescue her from a small island, where she is supposed to write about an upcoming vulcanic eruption. Once his girl is back home, Edward loses no time and does what he should have done six years ago. But is she willing to change her life and career for him? How will the two of them deal with the pressure of keeping their relationship a secret?

Politicianward is probably one of my favorite "Wards" out there. All the power and sovereignty are mightily sexy, don't you think? And in this story, Edward isn't only the leader of a country and has people listen to his every word, he is also absolutely head over heels for Bella and would do pretty much everything for her. There's no one else for him and his committment to her is what made me like him so much. Bella is a wonderful mother of two children, who are practically already grown-up (both Bella and Edward are in their late thirties in this fic) and therefore don't have too much "on-screen time", who loves a good joke. She and Edward are very active, sexually speaking, alas the lemons are often a bit too short and not overly graphic. You will enjoy them, however, as they definitely convey how much they care about each other. The Exclusive is alternating both characters' POVs.

The Exclusive consists of 15 chapters and a total of 58,545 words. The story is rated M for lemons and profanities.

Bella Swan is a talented painter, who has just began to make a name of herself and started showing her artwork in a few galleries. But since she is unable to make a living from the little she earns with her craft, she has decided a few years ago to work as a high-class escort. She is employed at the company of her best friend Alice, who makes sure that Bella only takes on the wealthiest and most respectable clients. As discretion is a top-priority, famous men often find themselves contacting Alice's service and one day, she gets a call from none other than Emmett Cullen, brother and chief of staff of the current President of the United States, Edward Cullen. Edward has lost his wife years ago and ever since he climbed the polictical ladder all the way up to the White House, he has hardly had any chance of getting close to a woman - in any kind of way. So Emmett asks for one of Alice's best escorts and soon brings Bella, a.k.a Annabelle to see the most powerful man in the world...

When they meet at the presidential suite at a five-star hotel, Edward and Bella just click. They are compatible - intellectually and sexually - and spend a passionate and erotic night together during which Bella notices that she likes being with the President a lot more than she should. She gets attached to the handsome man and has difficulties saying goodbye at the end of the night. And she isn't the only one because Edward requests seeing "his" Annabelle again and again, until he eventually asks her to stay with him at his house at the Hamptons for the weekend. The time they spend together is nothing short of magical: they have sex pretty much everywhere and talk for hours on end. They get closer and closer with each other and realize that they are already in way over their heads. Still, Edward's position as the American President forces them to keep their "relationship" hidden. If word came out that Edward Cullen had an affair with a prostitute, he could kiss his reelection goodbye - and that would be the best case scenario. Knowing that, Bella panics when she finds out that she is pregnant with Edward's baby and leaves him and her love for him behind...

This wonderful story by rushed was inspired by smmiskimen's wonderful story The Presidential Treatment. Yes, there is something utterly fascinating about Edward being the U.S. President, maybe because of all the power, responsibility, and prestige that this position entails. In The American President, Edward is charming and lovable (and of course incredibly hot), yet also driven by reason and his emotions. Bella on the other hand is feisty, confident, and absolutely okay with her chosen profession until the moment she falls head over heels for the President. Both of them know that they are madly in love with the other, yet are too proud or insecure to admit it. They find themselves in a truly precarious situation and the solution that is presented by rushed is plausible and realistic. The story is written from both Edward's and Bella's POV and even though the fic still has no epilogue, The American President is definitely complete with a very satisfying ending. With regards to the lemons in this story, well let me just say that there are a lot of them (especially in the beginning) and they are tastefully yet graphically written. You will definitely enjoy reading them!

The American President consists of 85 chapters and 131,490 words. The story is rated MA for graphic lemons, foul language, and some angst.

Bella Swan was born in Great Britain and currently studied in London. To be able to pay the tuition fees for university, the 19-year-old works part-time as a waitress in the "End Pub". It is there that she meets a young and handsome American sergeant, who, together with his comrades, is away on leave for the weekend, intending to enjoy some wild days (and nights) before returning to Afghanistan. Bella more or less happens to run into him on her way home and learns that his name is Edward Cullen. Both of them notice the immense pull they feel for each other and, unable to say goodnight, they walk around London for hours. The more they learn about the other, the less they want the night to end, so Edward invites Bella to spend the complete weekend with him, in his hotel suite.

And even though he has nothing but honest intentions, the two don't leave their room for the whole time, making love and talking instead. Edward tells Bella about his plans for the future. She learns that, for generations, the Cullen men have been politically very active and always had one goal in mind: to one day become the next U.S. President. They refer to it as the "Cullen Legacy" and never have the chances looked so good than they did for Edward. He assures Bella, however, that his feelings for her are genuine and promises to return to her once his six months in Afghanistan are over. But on Sunday morning, Bella is confronted with the ugly truth: Edward is actually engaged and a marriage with Tanya Martin would put him one big step closer to achieving his goal. Hurt and confused, Bella leaves in a hurry but not without taking something of Edward's with her. Seven years later, she is determined to make him pay for breaking his promises to her. Determined to ruin all his political aspirations and the "Cullen Legacy", she flies to New York and sees Edward again....

The story begins with chapters alternating between past and present. From Bella's point of view* the reader gets to know two completely different Edwards: one tender and good, the other a player and arrogant. Each chapter pattyrose gives away another puzzle piece of information and the reader is eager to put it all together. Yet it takes time, and many unexpected twists and turns before the puzzle is eventually complete. Because in The Cullen Legacy nothing is as it seems and basically each and every character is lying at at least one moment in time. Bella's intentions are nothing but bad - all she wants is revenge for the hurt and pain she had to go through these past few years. That Edward might have had his reasons for acting the way he did, doesn't even occur to her. Because Bella is running her own campaign, but unlike Edward it's not political one, but one of vengeance. Yet the more of the truth comes to light, the more it looks like she and Edward could have a future after all, the only question is what exactly that future would look like... As always, pattyrose managed to create an amazing piece of fanfiction! She combined, love, angst, and drama in one wonderful story and you would be a fool to no at least take a look at it! And remember: nothing is at it seems! ;-)

*A few chapters a little bit later in the story are told from Edward's POV.

The Cullen Legacy consists of 44 chapters and a total of 233,203 words. The story is rated M for description of sexual activities and some angst. The author also posted a mini-sequel called Nine Months.

It was just meant to be a short visit - two or three days at the most. In fact, all Bella Swan-Decklan had in mind when driving all the while to the middle of nowhere, a.k.a. Evening Shade, Nebraska, was to meet her estranged father, pay back everything he invested in her college education, bond a little, and then set off towards her new life in Los Angeles. Yet just after arriving in this teeny tiny town where her father was living and working as a sheriff, she is pulled over by the police - apparently she was a bit too fast. Now, unfortunately for the officer and Bella, the latter is filled to the brink with anger and frustration (due to her divorce which was just finalized) and not only starts screaming at the poor policeman like a banshee but also kicks him in the knee when he pulls out a(n unloaded) gun. Before she knows it, Bella is taken into custody and put into jail. There, she comes face to face with her father Charlie, the peacemaker and lawyer Emmett McCarthy, as well as the hot as hell major Edward Cullen.

Instead of getting his poor daughter out of jail asap, Charlie Swan explains to her that she would definitely have to attend a proper hearing before getting anywhere. Shocked and angry Bella spends the night behind bars before meeting with Emmett, Edward and her father in the morning and getting sentenced to dozens of hours of community work...

Meanwhile, Edward tries desperately to get the stunning and witty brunette out of his mind. After the death of his wife Sam six years ago, Edward has lived a pretty reclusive life, surrounded only by his parents Esme and Carlisle, his sister Alice and her husband Jasper, as well as his cousin Emmett and his wife Rosalie. Apart from having taken over the duties of town major the 36-year old also owns a small yet wonderfully decorated bookstore. It is over their shared passion for books and writing that Bella and Edward get closer and closer. Though at 24 she is a lot younger than Edward, Bella is like a fresh breeze of air and quickly manages to find a way into his heart. But while he knows he never felt anything like this before and is determined to make her his (forever), she desperately tries to ignore the overwhelmingly feelings she harbors for him and plans to leave Nebraska as soon as her work is done...

When I read the story I couldn't help but imagine Evening Shade to be something like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls: a small and sleepy town where everyone knows everyone else and where the biggest event of the year is probably the update of the welcome sign from 1,104 inhabitants to 1,105. All of the quirky characters that Bella meets during her time there have their own story to tell and never disappoint to make you smile. Welcome to Evening Shade is written from both Edward and Bella's POV and consists of 21 lovely chapters filled with humor and romance. All the things Edward does to make Bella stay (e.g. not repairing her shower so that she would hopefully run into him when she has to use his) are wonderful to read, despite the fact that the reader feels always clouded by the fear Bella might eventually leave Evening Shade and throw away the best thing that ever happened to her.

Welcome to Evening Shade consists of 21 chapters and a total of 96,018 words. The story is rated M for lemons, foul language, and the mention of rape.

In the rare moments when Presiden Cullen allows himself to take a breath and think about the last couple of years, the only things he finds are pain, sorrow, and uncertainty. Because four years ago, his wife Bella never returned from a business trip to Arizona. The mother of his beautiful little daughter Beth spend some time raising money for her husband's campaign but disappeared on her way to the airport. Just like that. No trace of a body, no evidence for a crime

Once elected into office, Edward creates a special task force that is supposed to investigate Bella's case. And finally, after having almost lost hope, the President's head of security, Emmett McCarthy, informs him that his wife had been found - in Kodiak, Alaska.
Unfortunately though, the First Lady, who is now blond and has a slight tan, has no recollections of her past with Edward. As Charlotte Byrd she started a new life, works in a bookshop and owns a small bakery. And one day, her life is once again turned upside down when taken by the CIA to meet the President of the United States.

All the President's Men is a wonderful piece of fiction by the talented Shahula. I love me some Presidentward! Wohoo, our Edward is such a sweet and loving father and husband it almost hurts to read it. Even though his wife is not the same woman he met, he falls for her nonetheless. Of course, these two are soul mates, right?

The story's chapters are relatively short and always include a little (and usually freaking cute) snippet of the past. This way, the reader easily manages to get an impression of both the "old" and the "new" Bella and can understand that it hurts Edward to know that she can't remember any of it.

All the President's Men consists of 30 chapters and a total of 61,617 words. The story is rated T and thus suitable for readers age 15 and older.

After months of mourning the death of her baby's father, Bella Swan decides to start a new chapter of her life. Along with daughter Harper she moves to Seattle and starts a job as Associate Director of Legislative Affairs for the CARE Foundation, a prestigious group largely funded by the Cullen family. The boss of CARE, Esme Cullen, is the wife of Washington's Senator Carlisle Cullen. She, her husband and Bella's new colleague Rosalie (Esme and Carlisle's daughter-in-law) welcome Bella warmly.

One night, Bella finds herself in the middle of a disastrous date. Just moments before she decides to walk home, a handsome young man approaches her at the bar and starts a conversation. The stranger, who introduces himself as Edward, is smart, funny, charming, and very polite, and Bella feels immediately drawn to him. However, after spending an amazing night together, Bella wakes up alone. She finds a note on her pillow with Edward's telephone number and a short message saying he desperately wants to see her again. Yet although Bella just had the best sex of her life and feels an indescribable connection to Edward, she refrains from calling him as she thinks he permantly lives in D.C.

So the two don't see each other again for weeks, but they are constantly in each other's thoughts. At the night of a gala event, Esme introduces Bella to her son Edward - her handsome and loving stranger, and son of Senator Cullen.

Yes, you already know I'm a HUGE fan of amoredjenaue. EVERY one of her stories is impeccably written and unbelievably exciting. The Senator's Son is no exception. The plot is wonderful and a mix of romance, drama, fluff, humor, lemons, and suspense. It's like reading a New York Times bestseller, you are so glued to the pages. I highly recommend to keep an eye out for every story of amoredjenaue out there!

The Senator's Son consists of 35 chapter and a total of 300,189 words. All characters are human. The story is rated M for mature content.
