The first time he saw her was when she was working part-time as a waitress in a restaurant right across from him; her elegant way of serving her customers' ordered dishes and her sexy lip ring were some things Edward couldn't help but think about even while on duty as a fireman. What he found absolutely stunning, though, were her sleeved arms, completely covered with what could only be secrets - he could relate to those with his very own on his back. But when they first converse with one another, Bella blatantly states that she is not open for relationships and that after a bad past experience, she wanted to focus on her career in optometry school and not on dating. Although this leaves Edward more than a little upset, he doesn't stop destiny from letting them clash into each other over and over again. But will their relationship be able to work with Bella's secrets and with Edward's past quickly catching up to him?

A MUST READ everyone! I am huge fan of MrsSpaceCowboy's stories and this one is definitely one that should not be missed! This story will have you hooked with its angst, sexy lemons, pure love, and the importance of relationships. Oh, and did I mention hot lemons? You will fall endlessly - if you aren't already - in love with tattooward/ella in this roller coaster. I will have you know though that the initial burn between our lovers is slow, but once they hit it off it's just as mind-blowing as the building tension! The unexpected twists and turns, especially both their pasts, is something that your heart will break for, but you will also be more than impressed with the way the author has so brilliantly incorporated them into the main plot. So don't hesitate for a single minute and jump right to this wonderful fanfiction - you won't regret it in the least!

Edward Cullen, nearing his thirtieth birthday and sick of the dating scene, decides to finally go and search for 'the one' for him. The restaurant owner wants to experience a real relationship with the girl of his dreams. He just needs to find her. In the French Quarter of New Orleans, he comes up with a quirky plan - he decides to drive romantic carriage rides for couples in order to better understand their connections. Armed with a carriage and a donkey, Edward is determined to figure out what makes true love and why, exactly, he can't seem to find it. Then comes Bella - a curvy, beignet-making personality who runs into Edward at her job in a restaurant. She has a feisty, yet bubbly persona that instantly attracts Edward's attention. Can they find love in New Orleans? Or has this carriage ride reached its end?

This has got to be one of the cutest stories I've read on FanFiction. This Edward is just such a change from all the others that I've read. He is genuinely sweet and well-meaning. His thoughts on love are so old-school and wonderful that it just warms your heart. It's a breath of fresh air and a trip back to chivalry. Bella is just as likable. She's curvy and completely confident. She rocks her bubbly, friendly personality throughout the whole story. The two of them together is nothing short of brilliant. gabby1017 does a truly great job with these characters. Do not miss out on this wonderful, insanely cute story!

"You asked me... if there was something between us. I thought you meant bad feelings. Then you asked if I'm attracted. I tried to be so careful about it," he says.

"Why did you let me go?" I say, and his hand moves from my arm to my face.

"I never let you go."

When Bella Swan arrives back home after months of living in Chicago, everyone - including her father Charlie and his good friend and neighbor Edward - thinks that she is simply there to spend Thanksgiving with her family. However, the real reason for her return to Forks is as simple as it is embarrassing: she has nowhere else to go. After she turned down the proposal of her boyfriend and boss Jacob Black and was subsequently fired from her job at Black Enterprises, she had to give up her apartment in Chicago and saw no other way but to drive right back home. There, in her old room, surrounded by the green woods and with her father's cruiser in the driveway, she completely indulges in her shame... and her love for Edward Cullen. For years, Bella has lusted and longed for her father's deputy - even though he is twelve years her senior, divorced, and has a kid. For her, Edward is everything she'd ever want, yet terribly out of reach. He doesn't seem to see her as anything but Charlie's young daughter, the girl who babysat for Juney every once in a while...

What Bella doesn't know is that Edward has battled with his "inappropriate" feelings for her ever since he saw her at her High School graduation. It was then that something "clicked" in his head and for the first time, he saw her for the beautiful and intriguing woman that she is. Always careful not to outright show his all-consuming feelings for her in her presence or that of her father, Edward struggles for years to keep his sanity. And the little hope he had for having a future with Bella disappears the moment she left town for Chicago, seemingly without looking back. So instead of doing what he wants, Edward does what he thinks is right and starts dating. In Jessica he hopes to have found the woman, who will bring some consistency into his' and Juney's lives. Yet when Bella returns to her hometown, his carefully suppressed feelings come back to the surface and turn his life upside down...

This is the first story by counselor that I've read and I have to admit, when I started it, I expected tons of angst and drama. I couldn't have been more wrong. Instead of disaster waiting around every corner, Look How You Turned Out is full of humor, wit, and lots of love! Yes, there is drama, especially in the beginning when Edward cannot seem to get his head out of his a**, but the majority of the fic is full of sweet and captivating moments. The story is completely written from BPOV, except for two or three times, when Edward takes over for a few paragraphs. Bella really is a one-of-a-kind, the way she thinks is exactly the way she talks and her snappy remarks and hilarious pop culture references will leave no eye dry. Yet she is also insecure and vulnerable, especially when it comes to her dad and Edward. The latter is adorable and, based on the way Bella describes him, a walking wet dream. Though the unique writing style counselor adopted for this story might not be for everyone (you have fragmented sentences, some jumps, repetitions - remember, Bella talks the way she thinks), it fits Bella and the story perfectly. Don't miss out on this brilliant fanfiction!

Look How You Turned Out consists of 80 chapters and 110,223 words. The story is rated M for lemons and profanities.

Bella Swan is a hardworking young woman, who has taken on a job at the local diner in order to gather money for her college tuition. After the death of her father and her mother becoming addicted to alcohol, Bella leaves her life behind and moves to Seattle to start fresh. She knows that working at a diner isn't ideal but it pays money, something that the young woman desperately needs if she wants to fulfill herself a lifelong dream: becoming a writer. One night, when Bella is about to start closing down the small restaurant, a disheveled looking man walks in. He looks nothing short of ragged, with torn pants and a dirty t-shirt, and yet, Bella notices that he wears an expensive Rolex around his wrist. Also, despite his poor choice of clothing, the guy is utterly impressive with his messy bronze hair and bright, emerald-colored eyes. After Bella hands him a cup of coffee and goes back to clean things up. However, when she turns back around, the young man is gone, the coffee is left untouched, and the Rolex is lying on the table...

After that more than strange event, Bella decides to go home and locks up. She asks the owner to keep the Rolex for the young man, in case he notices he lost it and returns. Yet after only walking for a few minutes, Bella sees the young man standing at the Washington Street Bridge, staring down at the water below him. When she realizes that he is about to jump, Bella runs over to where he stands and manages to pull Edward - that's what he calls himself - away from the danger. She drags the flabbergasted young man all the way to her home and he follows without hesitation, needing comfort and love. The latter leads to a passionate night, both of them wanting to give the other a piece of love that they've been missing for so long. It's a night that changes everything. Bella and Edward have had a rough life, yet being together allows them to see things from a new and better perspective. Everything seems right - now - but will they be able to overcome their pasts and focus on the future?

Moments is an extremely heart-touching and realistic story that should not be missed at any costs! What I absolutely love about this fanfiction is that SydneyAlice manages to create such an amazing and intricate plot in just sixteen chapters. The fic's title is pretty much its tenor: if Bella had not been at the Washington Bridge at the exact moment Edward was about to jump, he would have died. Furthermore, each moment they experience, together or separate, is important and formative for their lives. Like all of us, Bella and Edward never know what is waiting for them around the corner, so they have to live day by day. Another aspect which makes the story even better are the lemons. You may have experienced hot, or panty-dropping smut in fanfictions, but let me tell you that Moments' lemons are breath-takingly intense! And I mean that in a very positive way; you will literally feel the love that is pouring out of the two lovers. These love-making sessions are toe-curling and electrifying and much more exhilarating than anything you have ever read before! Hurt, comfort, love, lemons, and a HEA - what more do you want in a fanfic? A MUST READ!!!

Moments consists of 16 chapters and a total of 30,466 words. The story is rated M for sexual activities, language, and brief mention of suicide.

Bella Swan is a music major at California State University, working at a coffee shop in Northridge, CA, Being a barista for three years has allowed Bella to meet numerous celebrities and share her passion for coffee with them. Actor Edward Cullen is no different - he even declared her signature cafe au lait to be the best cup of coffee he's ever had (including Esme's, his mother) - until he says that he'll marry her one day. Sure, Bella's had her fair share of celebrity coffee lovers come in and out of the shop's doors but none of them became regulars, something which made every day more interesting than the last. Edward's different though... He visits the coffee shop whenever he's in town and has time, even taking Esme with him once. It's no surprise when he finally begins to act on his attraction to Bella and asks her out on a date.

Dating Edward Cullen is no small feat, and there are many difficult things to deal with: paparazzi, crazy fans, and Edward's malicious younger sister Alice Cullen. Alice thinks she has her family fooled - including her husband - and regularly spills details to the paparazzi about Edward's whereabouts. That is until she is eventually caught by someone who uses her indescretions to blackmail her. Alice is forced to try and split Edward and Bella up so that her blackmailer can have handsome Hollywood hunk for herself. Unfortunately, she has limited success as Bella is too persistent and doesn't back that easily. So Edward's sister has to come up with the big guns...

True Confessions of a Coffee Girl is written entirely from Bella's point of view. It's a smooth-paced story where the characters really do get to know one another before anything more happens. Don't expect them to be in love with each other by the fifth chapter - it is a slow burn. There are twists and turns in the plot that contains minimal angst. It's well-written and draws you in easily, especially with how relatable the characters are. I absolutely loved this story! I couldn't help but love this Actorward and all of his quirks. The lemons in this fanfic are sweet, but hot, and will leave you wanting for more. This fic flies by, the deeper it pulls you in and is a definite MUST read!

True Confessions of a Coffee Girl I consists of 38 chapters and 98,772 words. The story is rated M for sexual content and language.

Bella Swan is a hardworking young woman who struggles to provide for herself and her two siblings after her parents' death. The oldest child in the family, she already had to take over the heavy responsibility at a very young age and despite the many years that have passed, still struggles to make ends meet today. She has three different jobs each day and still makes just enough to go by. Bella worries about not being able to properly care about her two younger siblings, whom she puts before everything and everyone else. Whether she is hungry or not doesn't matter to the young woman; what does matter is that she can feed her brother and sister and save some money for their college education. As a result, Bella's lack of nutrition and proper education have made her become thin and unable to write and read. That said, she can only take menial jobs, one of them being a janitor of the University of Washington. That's where she runs into Professor Edward Cullen, who is yelling more often than not (though not always at her), causing her to be nervous.

Edward is a rich and intelligent young man, who has been teaching at UW for a very long time now. However, he has absolutely no patience for failing students and his respect for the maintenance staff is mediocre at best. Furthermore, after his biological mother left him at an early age, Edward developed a certain kind of hatred for women. He considers them to be liars, ready to betray him and others the moment they see their chance. He fulfills his desire to be the dominant and take over control by regularly using an escort service and engaging in rather rough sexual activities. However, his view on women changes the more he learns about Bella. When Edward and Bella meet for the first time he takes his foul mood out on the young girl. Yet as time goes by and the two run into each other more often, he realizes that Bella intrigues him, most probably because she seems to put other people's needs before her own - an act so selfless that Edward feels drawn to her. After finding out about her horrible situation, he decides to hire her at his personal restaurant - remember, he's rich - as well as his personal cook at his home. Although hesitant at first, Bella cannot refuse an (well-paid) offer like that. Soon, Edward and Bella start developing feelings for each other and become very close. They begin sharing their pasts with each other, realizing that they both have something to fight for. Will the two be able to fall in love or will reality be in the way?

His Cimmerian View is a great story and I find myself wanting to read it over and over again! The story has received tremendous popularity within the Twilight fandom, yet there are still many people out there who have not read - I hope my review will change that! They characters are extremely OOC, especially Bella, but you will fall in love with her and the others regardless. WeeKittyAndTAT has created a very realistic story line and readers get hooked from the very first chapter. The fact that the story has both Edward's perspective allows you to understand his motivations and actions a lot better - which makes the flow of the story really good. Personally, Bella's life is something that I am able to emotionally connect with, even though I (thankfully) didn't have to go through her plight. The fanfiction will definitely grab your full attention - I promise, it isn't anything like you have read before. Oh, and don't hesitate to read this story just because Bella is an illiterate; trust me, although she can't read and write, she can speak and that is all she needs to fall in love with Edward (and make him fall for her). Besides, who says she is not going to learn language while she's with Edward ;)? A WONDERFUL story that is a must read! Maid-ella and Rich-ward ROCK!

His Cimmerian View consists of 35 chapters and a total of 341,980 words. The story is rated MA for language and graphic description of sexual activities.

After finding out that her father Charlie is suffering from cancer, Bella drops everything, leaves her life in Phoenix behind, and moves to Forks to take care of him. To her surprise, Charlie has already made some arrangments for his daughter with regards to a new job, car, and a place to live. Bella starts working at a bar not far from her father's house in Clallam Bay and moves into the two-bedroom apartment right above it. And even though Charlie was the one, who got Bella the job at the bar, he, along with former waitress Rosalie, make sure to warn her about the sailors that often frequent it. They would often stop by the area for some unfinished business and once that was over and done with, they'd leave right away. To build a longterm and trusting relationship with any of these men would be next to impossible and heartbreak would almost be guaranteed. However, when a certain bronze-haired man steps into the bar, the twenty-five-year old cannot help be feel utterly captivated by him...

The man introduces himself as Edward Cullen, a sailor who'd be in Clallam Bay for a few months. Though warning bells go off in Bella's head immediately, she doesn't fail to recognize the enormous chemistry between the two of them. Needless to say, Edward and Bella spend a passionate night together and even though both cannot deny that their sexual adventure was much more electrifying and meaningful than anything they've ever experienced before, they dismiss it as a one-time thing. Edward is extremely honest with Bella and makes it clear from the very beginning that being on the sea is everything to him. A serious relationship has never been something he has seriously considered before. And Bella goes along with it, at least at first. But when her wonderful sailor has to leave after four months of spending time together, the caring young woman realizes she is irrevocably in love with Edward. He won't be able to come back to her for another eight months, yet promises to do just that on her insistence. Once gone, Edward desperately tries to fu** Bella out of his system but to his utmost shock no woman really gets to him like she does. That's when the handsome sailor knows that he's thoroughly scr**ed. After eight months of separation, the two meet again and there is not doubt that they love each other. They have four more months they can spend together, emotionally and physically, but what happens when the time is up yet again? How will they be able to stay together if Edward is unwilling to agree to any kind of committment? Will they be able to solve things between them before it is too late?

If the detailed summary I gave you above does not reflect the love I have for this story, then let me make it clear: Constant Bearing, Decreasing Range is a story to die for! Sailorward is impossibly hot and the sex between Edward and Bella will have you panting! I can't put into words how much this fanfiction stole my heart from the very first chapter. There isn't a single moment where you will want to stop reading, it is that good. beegurl13's story really has it all: intensity, love, kinkyness, angst, and some painful moments as well. There will be times when you'll want to kiss Edward with an intense passion, others when you want to hug him for his fear of love and committment, and yet others when the urge to hit him on the back of his head is surprisingly strong. There are reasons why he repeatedly refuses to quit his job, and beegurl13 does a fantastic job in describing both Edward's past and his present realistically. One of Edward's best character traits, however, is his honesty. He always tells Bella the absolute truth - no matter how hurtful and bitter it is - and I think that is what keeps Bella from running away from him at times. I would definitely say that this story is not for the weak-hearted because it does involve some heavy issues. Not to mention the heart-dropping love-making the two have every night; gosh, I have never read something so intense before. If you miss out on this story, you'll definitely regret it! Go read this wonderful fanfiction and leave beegurl13 tons of love - she totally deserves it! A MUST READ!

Constant Bearing, Decreasing Range consists of 28 chapters and a total of 129,210 words. The story is rated MA for some angst, language, and hot, kinky lemons.

Ever since she met James Hunter seven years ago, Bella Swan's life hasn't been the same. Though in the beginning, the handsome man seemed caring and genuinely nice, his thoughtfulness and protective nature soon turns into an unhealthy obsession. Once Bella tells him that she is not interested in more than just a friendship, James begins following her every step, terrorizing the woman he is so taken with along with her family and friends. After a tragic accident in which Bella's mother loses her life, the young woman decides that enough is enough and leaves her whole life behind. Together with her best friend Alice she moves to Seattle, where she hopes to be safe from her stalker. Alas, James finds her sooner than anyone expected and as he has become even viler and brutaler, Bella is forced to move once again. Without telling anyone where she's headed, yet once again with Alice in tow, she moves to New York. There she starts two jobs, one as a nanny for an upper-class family, and another as a barkeeper in a small yet atmospheric bar. It is there that her life makes a complete U-turn once again, but this time for the better.

Because grabbing her attention at Art's bar is none other than Edward Cullen, bassist of the worldwide popular and successful rock band Zeus. The young man is totally fascinated by the beautiful woman he sees before him and immediately tries to get to know more about her. Yet Bella is careful in disclosing any kind of personal information and strongly believes that Edward is only interested in a one-night stand. She politely pushes him away yet cannot get him out of her mind. Luckily, fate seems to be on her side, because Bella is asked to accompany the young girl she looks after as well as her friend to a Zeuts concert. There, she meets Edward again and from there on, the young man pays her frequent visits at the bar she works at. He is adament to find out more about her and enjoys every second they spend together. The two get closer and closer but Bella's past keeps her from trusting Edward completely. Furthermore, the band's world tour is about to start, taking Edward away from New York for three whole months...

You Can't Hide Forever is a wonderful story because it has a little bit of everything: romance, lemons, angst, suspense, and humor. Especially the latter will have you enjoy this story from chapter one because our dear Bella (who has a British accent, by the way, because she grew up in England) has a very cute and hilarious inner voice talking to her all the time. She calls it her "Inner-Bella" and openly admits to everyone, including Edward, the she just cannot seem to control her. "Inner-Bella" is everything Bella used to be before James came into her life: feisty, courageous, snarky, sarcastic, and constantly horny. Some of her comments will have you in hysterics, let me tell you, they are that funny. With regards to the romance, that is mostly up to Edward. Bella hides herself from the world and her boyfriend, so Edward is the one with the sweet gestures and words - and boy are they sweet. The lemons are tame and kept very short and the violence won't up until the end of the story. You Can't Hide Forever is written from both characters' POV and comes highly recommended!

You Can't Hide Forever consists of 40 chapters and 232,942 words. The story is rated MA for sexual activities, angst, violence, and foul language.

Edward Masen is a talented actor with a very successful career. He is admired and desired by many and has everything he could possibly want. So, why is he so eager to escape from the life many dream of having? Well, because what people say is true: money and fame can’t buy you happiness, and Edward is not happy at all. That’s why one night, he makes a run for it, avoiding his overbearing manager and the annoying paparazzi. He escapes the hotel and finds himself making a "right" turn, which leads him to a mom-and-pop diner. There, a nice and pretty waitress catches his attention. Bella Swan, a.k.a. Little Bell, is a hard working girl with a talent for making pies, a dessert that Edward is very eager to try in all the flavors she can make. A friendship is established when Edward realizes he doesn't have money to pay for the pies he ate and leaves his most prized possession as a guarantee that he will come back the next day to settle his tab. Day after day, he returns to the same diner, enjoying the talk and getting to know Little Bell, and soon he realizes that his attraction for the simple and sweet girl is more than he could ever phantom.

Love is a strong feeling, and Edward succumbs to it with an open heart. Afraid his profession might get in the way, he makes plans to stay near Little Bell, but someone isn’t keen to have one of the most successful actors out of their clutches. Trust is placed in the wrong people and Edward soon realizes that his chance to tell his Little Bell he loves her is gone. He returns to Hollywood broken hearted and alone, thinking that the one woman that he had ever shown his true colors to doesn’t want him… or does she? Edward will not go down without a fight because he knows now that finding happiness can really be as easy as pie.

This is a short story written by the talented Edward’s Eternal, completely told in Edward’s point of view. From the first chapter you can tell the poor man is stressed out of his mind and the love he once felt for his craft is almost completely gone thanks to the pressure of Hollywood and his manager.

So, it comes as no surprise when he takes a chance to escape from it all for just a little bit. Honestly, we don’t wanna spoil the ending for you, so we won't say much more. This story hooked us from the start and we loved every single chapter. We laughed, we cooed, we cried, we cursed (Annie even threatened to remove Edward’s balls, while Mel wanted to rip out certain bitch’s hair) and in the end we cheered when Edward gets his Little Bell back.Go check out this story, it’s a short ride, but worth every moment.

Easy as Pie consists of 7 chapters and 27,565 words. The story is rated M for descriptive sexual activities and foul language.

Edward Cullen, a street-fighter with a troubled past, is approached by the boss of one of the most powerful mobs in the U.S., Aro Volturi. Aro needs an heir to his dynasty and Edward needs a way out of his miserable life. After proving himself to the notorious mob boss, Edward is welcomed into the world of the mafia: "We will be great together, Edward."
Two years later, at a high-class bar in Chicago, now-playboy Edward bumps into a beautiful, brunette waitress who rocks his world. Bella Swan really isn't like the other girls he's met. She lives paycheck-to-paycheck and her innocence makes her the perfect victim for bullies, first and foremost her boss, Katie. So, when the rich and handsome Edward Cullen pays attention to her, Bella's not quite sure what to make of it; especially when she walks in on him holding a gun to his friend's head. Possessive Edward isn't willing to let her go, though, and he when he manages to find her later that night, he insists on walking her home. With a little bit of persuasion and a broken bottle of pepper spray, Bella finds herself engulfed in his company.

Edward knows the consequences of getting involved with someone just mere days before taking over the mob that took Aro decades to build. But the more time he spends with Bella, the less he seems to be able to care about all of it. He isn't exactly sure what it is about this brown-eyed beauty that has him so entranced, but he isn't willing to let her go until he figures it out. His attraction to her is undeniable and he finds her innocence surprisingly endearing. He finds himself wanting to protect her and all of his thoughts and actions revolve around her. Can an up-and-coming mob boss ever let go of his playboy ways and be with a woman, who moves him like no other? Or will outside forces push them apart?

Even though Chasing Bella is just a one-shot, it has so much character and intrigue that it's worth a full story. Edward, though he's not the nicest guy around, still softens the reader's heart with how protective he is of Bella. He hasn't had an easy life and his decisions reflect the consequences of that. He's been trained to be smart, cruel, and calculating, but with Bella, all of that is thrown to the wind. Bella herself has had her fair share of unlucky circumstances. Her optimism and innocence in the midst of all that is really endearing. These characters together just have a really interesting dynamic that leaves you wanting more. Above all of that, it's realistic. The way Bella and Edward interact is completely believable and romantic. There is no immediate trust and that's what makes this fanfic so intriguing. As a big fan of mystique-jewled's, I have to say that this one-shot left me begging her to continue it in to a full story. If you haven't read it yet, it's definitely worth a shot!

Chasing Bella is a one-shot and consists of 13,906 words. This story is rated MA for violent content, explicit language, and graphic lemons.

Bella Swan and Edward Cullen meet at the Starbucks she works at. His slightly arrogant behavior and stupid sexy and crooked smile frustrates Bella to no end but it's not like she has to marry him, right? Unfortunately for Bella, her hot customer forgets his iPhone at the coffee shop and the young student, who only waitresses part-time to help paying her tuition fees, decides to take it home. Once Edward finds out where his expensive phone is at, he is furious and calls Bella (or himself actually) to set up a meeting to get it back. And even though both seem kind of interested in the other, they part ways once Edward has his phone back...

A few days later, Bella and her beloeved German shepherd Sadie are on their way to Florida where Bella plans to spend the summer holidays with her father Charlie. Yet even then, she has to work and decides to help out at the local Starbucks. And who walks in on one of her first work days? Edward Cullen. But instead of leaving her hanging again, Edward starts flirting with Bella, or Brown Eyes as he calls her, and eventually asks her out on a date. In the beginning, Edward is just looking for a quick lay but soon realizes that Bella is more than just one of his one-night stands. The more time the two spend together, the more he feels drawn to her on a level he has never experienced before. It doesn't take long for Edward to fall fast and hard for Bella; so hard, in fact, that he can see a future with her by his side. The only problem? Edward is engaged! In order to make sure that the name Cullen continues to be associated with success, glamour, and power, his influential and snobbish parents expect Edward to tie the know with beautiful, yet bitchy, Tanya Denali. Up until now, Edward never had a reason to fight for their wishes and was willing to put up with the charade set up by is mother and father. Up until now...

The Edward Cullen in this story can be described as the following: cocky, spoilt, arrogant, loving, an amazing cook, and absolutely hot! He is used to getting what he wants and the moment he lays eyes on Bella, he is done for - even if he might not know it at the time. He starts wooing her to the best of his abilities (after all, he usually doesn't do relationships) and soon the two can't be anywhere without the other. They are sexually insatiable and it's cute to read how Edward can't  think of a future without Bella anymore. His playboy days are forgotten the moment he (finally) realizes that he harbors deep feelings for Bella. Yet there are still his obligations as first-born heir of the Cullen dynasty, the arranged marriage, and his more than difficult parents. All that results into a few moments of angst during which his relationship with Bella is more than at risk. Be prepared for a long and emotionally difficult ride, many hot lemons, and a badass Edward! Wedlocked is written from Edward's and Bella's POV!

Wedlocked consists of 42 chapters and a total of 236,397 words. The story is rated M for lots of lemons, foul language, and some angst.

After having served him a cup of coffee, Bella Swan developed a serious crush on hockey star Edward Cullen. Watching him enter the coffee joint and taking his order (a stale coffee) quickly became the highlight of her day. So when he doesn't show up for four long days in a row, Bella believes he might have simply chosen another place to give him his dosis of coffeine. The fact that she might have thought he had taken an interest in her as well, only plays a minor role in her disappointent (or so she thinks). Because, if she thinks about it rationally, her feelings for Edward weren't that strong after all. So is completely taken off guard when the young man suddenly sneaks up on her and before she knows it the two of them have a date. From now on, their lives will be full of playoffs, awkward flirting, and flighty mothers. And what happens when Edward's ex, Victoria, suddenly appears from out of nowhere? Prepare for a whole "lotta lovin"!

Prettykittyartist has written a great story; in fact, it is one of the few stories out there that realistically captures a girl's emotions. We see how Bella struggles to maintain a relationship with her best friend, her flighty mother, and her devoted boyfriend. Although the structure of sentences and dialogues in the fanfiction seem slightly T rated, the story as a whole depicts a great, realistic plot which will keep you hooked with a light heart. Join Bella as she overcomes the trouble of maintaining an intense relationship which involves Edward to travel a lot, the constant nagging of her mother, and the heartfelt, motherly figure played by Bella's boss, Rosalie. Even though Bella tends to be slightly over-dramatic in the story, the author has written other characters, especially Edward, to balance out her emotions and comfort her at most times. This drama filled romantic comedy will surely have you laugh, cry, and die with all the love stuffed into it. Furthermore, the lemons included in the story will have you sigh contently at the couple's love for one another. Romance, humor, and dramatic conflicts; what more can you ask for from a great story such as this? A story that is definitely underrated and should be given a try!

So far, Slapshot consists of 22 chapters and a total of 64,901 words. The story is rated M for sexual activities and some violent scenes.

Bella Swan's life is nothing short of monotonous, to put it mildly. Emotionally and physically scarred after her mother died in a tragic accident, Bella decides to escape the state of Mississippi where she had lived all her life.

She arrives in Forks, Washington where her father Charlie lives and starts working at the local diner there. But life in Washington is not a lot easier than life in Mississippi: Bella has to work double shifts, live in a greasy apartment right above the restaurant with her stoic and somewhat-retired-police-officer father, and the constant cold and rain weather was right the opposite of what she was used to in her former home. When Charlie starts drinking out of grief for his late wife, Bella finds herself in a situation more unbearable than the one she escaped from.

So when Charlie forgets Bella's 19th birthday, she decides to drive to Port Angeles and have some quiet fun at a bar. What she didn't expect was the to stumble upon a barkeeper (who plays guitar AND sings!) with the most beautiful, velvety voice she had ever heard.

Even though Bella has a degree in business management she has so far been unable to find a job. In order to at least earn enough money to pay the rent, she agrees to apply for the job as waitress in the popular night club "The Machine Shop". At first, though, the owner, Edward Cullen, is far fromn euphoric when he sees her as he thinks she might not be tough enough to handle rock musicians and rowdy guests. Yet when Bella is able to hold her own with a man who gets far too close for her taste, Edward gives her a chance. And soon he realizes that it wasn't only the strength that convinced him to hire the yound woman as a waitress, it was also a matter of the heart.

But Edward comes with a lot of baggage. The former U.S. Marine blames himself for the death of his friend and suffers from PTSD. As he fears that by being too close to Bella he might accidentally hurt her, Edward distances himself from the beautiful brunette. But the more he tries to keep her at arms length the more he also wants to let her in - the only question is, how will she deal with his past? Meanwhile, Bella worries about her roommate Rose, who works as a stripper in a nearby club. She has to witness how her best friend drowns her sorrows in alcohol and rejects each and every advance made by "The Machine Shop's" bouncer Emmett. Between figuring out Edward's intentions and helping Rosalie to stay clean, Bella also has to fear for her life...

What an amazing story! Written from both Edward's and Bella's POV The Machine Shop tells the story of two people who were neither looking nor prepared for love but found it nonetheless. As Edward's past is only revealed step by step it is unclear in the beginning why he is so afraid of following his heart. He is consumed by guilt and uncertainty and it takes a lot of time for him to finally act on his feelings. Yet once he starts letting go, he's a wonderful and protective boyfriend, that is until one fateful night... The Machine Shop talks about a lot of mature themes, among them drug use and violence. It's a story full of angst!

The Machine Shop consists of 16 chapters and 59,053 words. The story is rated MA for angst, lemons, foul language, and some violence.

Spending New Years Eve at "The Forks Diner" is a tradition Bella and her friends have celebrated since forever. But at the age of 14, Bella would rather be at a school party instead. Surrounded by friends and neighbors she’s known her whole life, Bella looks from face to face and notices the differences as each year passes one-by-one, bringing new faces and also losing some. But Edward is always consistent, he’s such a great friend and he’s so freaking talented with a voice like silk and fingers like magic and a mind filled with beautiful lyrics.

Within a span ten years—every chapter the same day but a new year—things change drastically. What once were friendly looks passed from Bella to Edward are now longing, what once was a tradition of him singing her a special sentimental song, is now tainted with fame and misunderstandings. It's a tale of a small town girl in love with a boy meant for much more than Forks. But love always remains. 

Written in Bella's POV, Rhapsody in B reads almost like a bunch of oneshots or outtakes all based around how Bella spends each new year. The story is well written, consistent and flows perfectly throughout the fic. I love this fic for it's "coming of age" theme mixed with young love and the difficulties of long distance between two people. Edward as a musician? HOT. Plus, the friendships are strong and everyone has an unbreakable bond that makes the reader feel like part of the group. Oh, and Charlie is the best!! I love when fics do that, when you care about characters other than the main ones. Lillybellis does not disappoint in expressing the ups and downs while Edward and Bella's relationship evolves from beginning to end. I've read this one about four times, I love it!

Rhapsody in B consists of 87,888 words and 12 chapters. It is rated M for language and adult themes. The lemon situations are tasteful, not graphic. This fic is more about the plotline. ♥♥♥♥♥

Shortly after graduation, Bella Swan is persuaded by her girlfriends to spend the next couple of months exploring and enjoying London. However, the moment they arrive in the rainy city, they realize that in order to have a roof over their heads and some food to eat, they need to work. Bella and her friend Jessica find a job in an haute cuisine restaurant that also happens to sometimes cater for the Royal Family. And so, one evening, Bella finds herself waiting on kings, queens, princes, and people worth more money than her father's house. And among the many guests, one man has taken a particular interest in her...

HRH Prince Edward hates his life. Bugged by his conservative parents and his even more conservative grandmother (aka Grand Bitch), the young man longs for nothing more than normalcy. Instead of being the future King of England, Edward would love to enjoy the night with his friends and marry out of love rather than convenience. As fed up as he is by the people of the high society, it is no wonder that the moment he meets Bella at a banquet, he is more than intrigued. The girl is smart, funny, never says or does what he would expect, and, most importantly, doesn't seem to give a damn that his a prince. Unable to stay away from her they spend a passionate night together at Bella's apartment (having the best sex of their lives, thank you very much) and promise to stay in touch. Until Bella's visa expires in six months, she and Edward agree to spend as much time together as possible. However, they also promise each other that no feelings would get involved. Yeah, right...

This fanfiction is funny, smartly written and well researched (everything having to do with the royalty sounds very realistic). Edward and Bella have wit and own a sizable amount of sarcasm. Bella's occasional lack of filter is hilarious and Edward's opinion about his grandmother will probably have you falling from your sofa laughing. Moreover, the two don't waste any time in getting intimate. As A Night with the Royal Staff was initially planned to be a one-shot (thank God, MrsK81 changed her mind and expanded the story) you will already have your first lemon in the first chapter. Last but not least, the story also has some serious drama in store for you, let me just say that Edward's deal with his father is more than... interesting.

A Night with the Royal Staff consists of 24 chapters and a total of 117,978 words. The story is rated M for lemons and language. A sequel has also been published, A Life with the Royal Staff.

"Who wants another motherfucking shot!" Bella shouts zealously, followed by a bar full of patrons cheering in excitement. Her boots stomp atop the counter and a bottle of whiskey then pours into a crowd of open mouths. Filled with sexy confidence, Bella wow's the inside of The Steel Horse  'Coyote Ugly Style' every night. But come morning, she's a passionate professor at Bellmont U--lecturing young minds in the subject of social deviance. A topic that most consider erotic and uncommon, but to Bella its an untapped desire within. Life is awesome for Bella, she has her dream job, she riles the crowds up at night in her brother Emmett's bar, and she has a great group of friends. However, life's also become a bit predictable--until one Friday at her local cafe changes everything. 

It starts with witty banter every Friday morning, then upgrades to hot parking lot rendezvouses. He drives her crazy with his sexual deviance and that damn manchu mustache! Only Edward Cullen could pull that off and also get away with toying with her the way he does. Working her up and leaving her dry, teasing her and taunting her with a touch here, a whispered word there. Suddenly Bella finds herself in a purely sexual relationship with a man she tries her hardest to keep at arms length. But there are things about 'Manchu' that can't be ignored, and when emotions become involved, the game changes and Bella has a serious choice to make...

Filled with hotter than hot lemons and exciting twists and turns, Deviant does not disappoint. Dirty talking Edward will make you need a change of undies and sexy Bella will have you cheering and fist pumping. But don't think this just another lemon fic with no plot--nope! There is definitely more to these characters than meets the eye. You think you know, but you have no idea. Save this in your bookmarks, because trust me when I say this is worth more than one read. Especially when you feel like reading something steamy with a touch of sweet. 

Deviant by planetblue consists of 83,093 words and 23 chapters. This story is rated MA for graphic lemons and language.

Fleeing from an abusive stalker, Bella Swan leaves her Mississppi hometown Masen and comes to Memphis, Tennessee. She makes a living by working in a small Irish pub as a barkeeper and is even able to make some new friends. Yet fate isn't being kind to her as 22-year-old Bella finds herself lying face down on the floor of grocery store while two men with guns demand money and anything else of value. In an act of bravery Bella saves her fellow customers by beating the sh** out of one intruder, causing the arrival of the police and a huge media frenzy. One of the other women in the store, a small, pixie-like girl named Alice, is picked up by her older brother Edward. When she wants to thank Bella for everything she's done, Edward sees his sister's savior for the first time and can't for the life of him force himself to look away. Scared that her face would be on TV stations and newspapers countrywide Bella flees from the scene - chased by Edward. She manages to leave him behind, yet his green eyes would haunt her for the next couple of days.

It it isn't so long until she sees Edward again, who, she knows, is the son of notorious mob boss Carlisle Cullen. As the bar Bella works at isn't very profitable anymore, the current owner is forced to sell the establishment. And the new owner, is no one other than Edward Cullen. Bella remains a member of the staff and she and Edward get more than close. It becomes clear to both of them that they have just found the person they would want to spend the rest of their lives with. Too bad, that Edward's ex-girlfriend Tanya (and according to his father Carlisle, the future Mrs. Cullen), won't leave him alone and Bella's stalker James finds and threatens her on the grand re-opening of the club. In order to save those who are near and dear to her, the young woman decides to take matters into her own hands and end the life of James Hunter.

Breakaway Bella is Hoodfabulous' first fanfiction and you will notice that while reading. As the story is unbeta'ed there are a number of typos and grammatical mistakes. Sometimes one and the same work is used twice or thrice in one sentence. That said, Breakaway Bella does show a lot of Hoodfabulous' big potential. The plot is interesting and she did a good job on some of the new characters that are introduced - first and foremost Tia. Next to a lot of violence and rape (!) the fanfiction contains a good amount of humor that will hardly leave your eyes dry. Emmett's character description, however, might be a litte bit too ridiculous for some of you. His fear of little people or choice of Halloween costumes might make you shake your head disapprovingly. As far as Edward and Bella go, their relationship is fast, really fast. They see each other and, bang, they know they've found their soulmate. Within the first fifth of the story both realize their love for one another and Edward even has visions of him and Bella married and with children. It is Edward's possessiveness, Carlisle's strict adherence to family traditions, and Bella's abusive stalker that keep the two from having a real relationship. Yes, Breakaway Bella might have its flaws, but I personally think that Hoodfabulous' debut is worth to be recommended!

Breakaway Bella consists of 35 chapters and a total of 193,977 words. The story is rated MA for foul language, violence, angst, and graphic description of sexual activities. Please only read the fanfiction if you are 18 years or older.

Bella—a breast cancer survivor who wears her pain on her skin in a multitude of colorful tattoos—shifts through her mail one day and realizes she’s been wrongfully accused of a hit and run. The accuser? Allstate agent, Edward Cullen, whose office just so happens to be located in the same building Bella works in. However, resolving the issue sets her off on one hell of a roller coaster ride and the two clash harder than a bulldozer and a freight train. The hits just keep on coming when Bella sets off to work her side job at a catering service ("Jane’s Kitchen") which has been hired to cater none other than Carlisle Cullen’s fifth wedding. There, Bella is subject to Edward’s drunk, crass, and rude behavior the entire night, adding fuel to the already burning fire of hate she harbors for him. Shortly after, Edward requests for "Jane’s Kitchen" to cater his upcoming Christmas Party. On one condition: he wants Bella to be the one to work the party.  Much to Bella’s dismay...

But what Bella doesn't know is that there are several factors that have lead Edward to become the self-destructive bitter man he is today. Edward suffers from heavy guilt and PTSD after serving a full tour of duty as a high ranking marine in Afghanistan. As a result of a traumatic experience that almost took his life, he is unable to emotionally connect with anyone in his life, especially his family. A family that has its own closet full of problems. As a result, he attempts to cope with sex and alcohol. That is, until he meets one woman who forces him to take responsibilities for himself. It’s a long and bumpy road filled with roadblocks and pile-up crashes—all of which bring both of them to their breaking points.

IReen H is one of my favorite authors to date. She has a style of her own that sucks you in until you’re unable to stop reading until the end. What I love most is that the author put real-life experiences into her story, giving it an authentic taste that lingers and makes you crave for more. The story is well written in both Bella and Edward’s POVs, giving the reader both sides of their corroded coin. When you read you feel like you’re there—especially when Edward talks about his tour in Afghanistan. The sexual tension between these two burns off the pages and the buildup leads to great satisfaction. But Bella and Edward’s relationship has LOTS of ups and downs and the story is filled with angst. It’s a slow burn between these two, and a long road to recovery. If you’re looking for fluff, you won’t find it here. But if you want an experience of a lifetime, sit back and enjoy the ride. It’s well worth it.

High Fidelity consists of 22 chapters and a total of 205,466 words. The story is rated MA for Sexual content, language, violence, and other adult material.

Edward is a fighter, and a pretty good one, mind you. Twice a week, he is locked inside a small cage inside Jasper's bar "Feet First" and faces a man who wants nothing more than to rip his throat out. But Edward loves it, lives it, and in his opinion, it is far better than going back the pompous place he once called home. One night, while enjoying a cigarette, Edward notices a young woman being harassed by a group of drunken men. He manages to help the girl and is surprised by her beauty and naivety.

As it happens, Bella just moved into the apartment below him. She was given a scholarship for "Masen College" and studies Economics. In order to keep Bella safe Edward walks her home every night, after she finishes her shift at "Newton's" bar. He finds out that, just like him, she is running away from her past - which just adds to the many reasons why he just can't let her go...

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a superb story! Really, I'm not exaggerating! Caged has everything a really good AH Edward/Bella fanfiction needs: it's realistic, funny, exciting (I read about half of the story before I finally surrendered to sleep and put the kindle away), romantic, and includes an almost always naked Edward! What do you want more? But seriously, Caged is a one-of-a-kind. Savage7289's style of writing is right in the face and unvarnished. This is a dirty story with lots of dirty words, but also with many sweet moments! Read it, if you're over 18!

So far, Caged consists of 34 chapters and a total of 252,923 words. The story is rated MA for violence, drug abuse, and graphic description of sexual activities. If you are under the age of 18 I'll really advise you not to read the fanfiction.
