Brothers Edward and Emmett Cullen are hard-working young man, who own their own brewery, "Cullen Creek". With the summer season about to start, the two are in desperate need for some help and eventually find it in the 22-year old college student Bella Swan. Without talking to his brother first, Emmett hires the young woman immediately, ignoring the fact that she's never worked in a brewery before, much less hosted a beer tasting. As the latter is exactly what she is supposed to at "Cullen Creek", Edward has to start training her right away. Cold and distant at first, the young man quickly warms up to the witty and incredibly beautiful little thing that barged into his life and before he knows it, he has fallen for her big heart, her unique sense of humor, and helpfulness. As the days progress, he finds himself lusting after a woman he knows he cannot have...

There are exactly three things that keep Edward from giving into his feelings and asking Bella out: a) he is seven-years older than her, b) he is her boss, and c) he's in the middle of a nasty divorce. Because of that, Edward tries to keep a distance from Bella, yet indulges in watching her from afar. However, when Seth, Edward's employee and a good friend of Bella, starts making advances to the brown-eyed beauty the young entrepreneur hardly manages to not do and say something he might regret later on. In addition to pining after Bella, Edward also has to deal with his divorce from Victoria, a manipulative young woman, who intends to live off of her soon-to-be ex-husband's hard-earned money for the rest of her life. Add Edward's hypochondric (yet doctor) father Carlisle, and his weird relationship to Alice, the girlfriend of his best friend, you have a not-so-happy Edward.

Though Bella and Edward seem to be complete opposites, they really balance each other out. While Edward is often cocky and angry, Bella always has a smile on her face and loves the company of others. Unlike her broody boss, she hasn't yet made first-hand experiences with the hardships real life has to offer and tends to see things from the positive side. Some of her warmth and gentleness soon rub off on Edward and he is able to forget the drama that is his divorce for a while. Still, he stays away from her, afraid that if people found out about their relationship, it could be used against him by his wife in court. Initially written from Bella and Edward's POV, the author decided to rewrite Bella's chapters and present them through Edward's eyes. This way, the reader only has as much information as Edward does and is as clueless as him in certain situations. This fantastically written fanfic is highly recommendable, go check it out!

Strange Brew consists of 24 chapters and a total of 108,831 words. The story is rated M for lemons and foul language.

Bella Swan is stuck in an aweful relationship but can't find the guts to call it quits with her boyfriend Ben. Yet when the latter gets far to close for Bella's taste during a camping trip, she panics and runs off. Without having any idea in which direction she is going, the young woman soon gets lost in the woods. But before she can even try to orient herself a bit, she is thrown on her back and stares into a pair of feral eyes. After snapping out of her initial shock, she notices that she's surrounded by a group of wolves and a beautiful savage with bright green eyes. Bella soon learns that the man, who goes by the name of Edward, has been living away from civilization for a long time and was virtually raised by the wolves. Though he appears to be wild and dirty, Bella quickly realizes that Edward is actually a handsome young man and that there is far more to him than meets the eye...

But Bella knows that, sooner or later, she will have leave him behind and get out of the woods. Without a thought she kisses a surprised Edward goodbye and leaves him with a heavy heart as she makes her way back to the camp. A few days later, Bella's friend Alice tells her that the police found a 'crazy' man in the woods. Immediately knowing who that man must be, Bella drops everything and goes out to find him. When she does, she decides to let him stay at her house; caring for him by teaching him how to speak and treating his wounds. It doesn't take long before both Edward's and Bella's infatuation for each other turn into more and the two become a couple. But will Bella be able to help Edward overcome his troubled past, which led him to the woods in the first place?

Savageward is back and he is back with full force! readingmama's wonderful piece of fiction will introduce you to a bunch of characters who differ a lot from those in the Twilight books. A shy Edward, who learns to become more and more confident and stronger with time, a supportive and independent Bella, who fights for the man she loves, a mean (!) Alice, who finds it difficult to believe that Bella would fall for someone so 'crazy', and a helpful Rosalie, who is adamant to discover what really happened to the poor man that made him decide to spent his entire life in the woods among wolves. I promise that this story will not disappoint at all! I think it is one the few out there that are less accepted by people because of Edward's unique character, but let me tell you that this fanfic will have you hooked. Edward is so sweet and innocent that you will probably be melting from his adorableness. Please, give it a try!

"I officially met Edward Cullen the first day of my junior year in high school." And things were never the same for Isabella Swan after that. Strictly speaking, popular hockey player Edward Cullen and shy Bella Swan should never have had the connection that they did. Once they meet, though, there’s no stopping them. Introduced in biology class and held together by their mutual friends, Edward and Bella spend more and more time together. Edward can’t stop thinking about the timid, brown-eyed beauty and Bella can’t believe that he’s still after her, even after he’s witnessed her clumsiness: "Be safe. If you fall, I won’t be around to catch you until then." They’re both oblivious to the other’s attraction and, like true high-schoolers, need several pushes in the right direction to get to where they both want to be. Sweet first kisses and dates on the ice rink set up what will become one epic romance. But things can’t stay perfect forever...

  Just as things between the new couple become better than either of them had dreamed of, Edward’s past comes back to haunt him. And Bella. When James, a vengeful and criminally bloodthirsty rival of Edward’s comes back, it is not just Edward who gets burned. Soon, Bella finds herself constanly having to watch her back in order to make sure that she doesn’t fall in the hands of a villain. Edward never thought he'd see the day when his enemies would put his girlfriend in danger, and now that it's happening, it's taking everything in him not to go mad with guilt. When he closes his eyes, all he sees is the broken, battered body of the girl he loves more than anything else. Will love be enough to keep them coming back to each other? We were young, and we’d learned the hard way that nothing in this life was certain, but there was no doubt in my mind we had something very special together.

  Major Misconduct may have started off as a high-school love story, but the kind of love I read in this story is so much beyond just that. The first time I read this story, it left me speechless. The second time, it warmed my heart. The third time, I finally realized why I kept coming back for more, which is because this story has everything. It has humor, drama, romance, family, friendship, and just the right amount of fear. It’s also very real. At the end of the day, they’re high school students, and m7707 knows how to make it believable. In everything they do, though, it’s clear that they love each other deeply. It starts off as watching each other from afar, to flirting, to being willing to die for each other. The way m7707 wrote this fanfiction - which is completely written from Bella's POV - made sure that I was captivated by it from page one and I could hardly stop reading until I reached the end of the last chapter. Despite the minimal grammatical errors,m7707’s writing is simply perfect. This is a story that no one should miss out on!

The latest discussion, 19-year-old college student Bella Swan has in class, leaves her wondering about what it must be like for a soldier to be stationed in Iraq. Out of pure interest, she starts perusing the internet and stumbles upon a website that has profiles of hundreds of men currently serving in the army. One particular profile, belonging to Sergeant Edward Masen, captures her interest, as she can't help but feel that he was not like the other soldiers listed on the website. She immediately fishes out a pen and piece of paper and begins writing him a letter. However, she never expected to actually get a response, given the dangerous and hard circumstances the soldiers found themselves in. But low and behold, the next day, her adoptive parents Carlisle and Esme find a letter in their mailbox, addressed to for Bella. Needless to say, the young student is ecstatic and wastes no time in reading and writing back. It's the beginning of a beautiful pen friendship that soon turns into more...

For months, the two of them exchange multiple letters back and forth, getting to know each other and their respective lifestyles better and better. While Edward is able to connect his Bella with an actual face (she was able to send him photos), Bella is completely clueless as to what he looks like, yet falls for him nonetheless. When she gets a letter from him, in which he tells her that he will be getting fifteen days off soon, she jumps to the opportunity to invite him to stay with her and her adoptive parents. Though Edward is reluctant at first, he eventually agrees as he doesn't really have a place to go since. Unfortunately, none of his family is still alive. Those two weeks prove to be the best time of their lives. They learn even more about each other and even have the courage to proclaim their love. Both know that Edward will have to return to Iraq soon and he promises Bella that the next time he comes home, it will be forever as he plans quit his job as a Sergeant (aww!). Unfortunately, things don't exactly go as planned and Edward's horrendous past seems to catch up on him. Soon, his and Bella's lives are in danger and it's up to him alone to save them from harm...

Another fabulous story by 2carm2carm2! This fanfic will really pull at your heart-strings, the plot is so emotional. This story starts out really sweet, and you will be as eager as Bella to receive and read Edward's letters. The two of them are obviously attracted to each other before they even know what the other looks like and it's really sweet to read their lovely conversations. When the two finally meet and declare their love for each other, you will most probably melt from an overload of cuteness. Edward and Bella are extremely adorable with one another and you can't help but shed a tear or two when it's time for Edward to get back to Iraq. An unexpected twist leaves everything flipped upside down as it turns out that Edward hasn't told Bella about all of his dark past. It causes the story to take a sharp turn towards a very dangerous situation, our couple finds itself in. But rest assured that this fanfiction definitely has a HEA and all will be well! This is a MUST READ and deserves a HUGE APPLAUSE! Cheers to 2carm2carm for this fantastic story.

Sincerely, Sergeant Masen consists of 49 chapters and a total of 204,935 words. The story is rated M for language, some violence, and sexual activities.

I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean  Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens  Promise me that you'll give faith the fighting chance  And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

Manual writer Bella Swan is coaxed by her sister to take tango lessons at a local dance studio. Full of concern, Alice watches how Bella hardly ever leaves the house and has as good as no friends. She hopes that by convincing her to learn how to dance, her sister will eventually be forced to socialize with others and live a little. Not able to deny Alice, Bella agrees and goes to the studio. There she runs into dance teacher Edward Cullen, who is not just ridiculously handsome and talented but also tells her that she would be given individual classes with him. Carefully he manages to get a nervous Bella to relax and starts showing her some easy yet still intimitate dancing steps. Edward notices right away that Bella, as beautiful as she is, likes to withdraw from the world and is more than insecure about herself. He immediately decides to not only teach her how to master the art of dancing tango but also how to enjoy and live her life. Because he himself had to learn the hard way how short and volatile life can be. When his boss and friend Jacob Black (Edward used to be the chief financial officer in marketing company) is killed in a car accident, Edward is responsible for making all the necessary arrangments regarding his death. As he is listed as the only emergency contact, things like organ donation and funeral arrangements have now to be decided by the young man. It is then that he realizes how much he doesn't enjoy his job and lifestyle and that life is too short to not do what you really want. So he contacts his old friend Tanya and begins working as a dance teacher. He definitely had no idea that fate would soon introduce him to true love - in form of a brown-eyed beauty...

I Hope You Dance is a sweet yet tame little one-shot that portrays Edward and Bella very realistically. Both of them have had their fare share of difficulties in their lives but learned to deal with them in a very different way. While Edward took the death of his friend as an incentive to really start living, Bella hides from the world, afraid of never being enough. When they finally meet in the dance studio, sparks fly, and Edward can't help but slowly show Bella that there are things worth living out there, including love. He acts very sweet toward her and though he tries to be careful not to overstep his boundaries, Bella more than once runs away from him out of panic. But gradually, she realizes that she can trust her handsome tango teacher and loses herself in his arms, literally. The story is completely written from a third-person narrator, who focuses on Bella's feelings but also has some insight into Edward's mind. There are no grammatical mistakes and the plot is more than entertaining. A wonderful little one-shot that will leave you yearning for more Dancerward!

It's the summer of 1994: dial-up Internet, pagers, Walkmans, AOL chat rooms, and O.J in a white Bronco. Bella Swan works part time at an ice cream parlor, making ice cream sundaes to save up money for college. Under the blazingly hot weather of Brooklyn, New York, where eighteen-year-old Bella  lives, she tries to pass the time with her best friends and without the interruption of her suddenly concerned mother, who up to this point, never really paid her any attention (that is, until she started dating the creeper named Phil, who Bella suspects checks her out when she comes out of the shower). Trying to stay away from her home (and Phil) as much as possible, she goes to her best friend Alice's house, who talks her and their common friend Rose into meeting up with a few guys she met on a chat room. After a long night full of Ecstasy, subway rides, dark dance clubs, and a boy she doesn't want to stay away from, everything changes for our sweet and not so innocent ice cream scooper. Thugward came barreling through and he was there to stay.

This story brought back a lot of great memories from the 90's. The setting is perfectly established and it almost feels like you are really going back in time. Like most of Lexi's story, Higher comes with a dash of the nitty-gritty reality that makes it intense with the perfect amount of romance. The story is mostly told from Bella's point of view, but we do catch a few glimpses of Edward here and there - or as the author calls him, Thugward. He is suave, a bit dark and filled with a whole lot of passion. Intense doesn't even come close to describe what Bella and Edward experience. One time was enough for them to realize there is no going back for either of them. But both of their lives aren't perfect and their pasts are even less so. They will have to fight to stay together and defend their relationship against relatives, people they thought were friends, and, sometimes, even themselves. But what they definitely won't be able to deny is that they, as a couple, are worth fighting for.

The story is filled with a lot of ups and downs, the funny moments make up for the drama our favorite couple goes through, not to mention the couple of almost-heart-attacks we had at later chapters. However, we promise it is a happily ever after for Thugward and his girl! It's a great story with short chapters that really made it a fast read. We actually couldn't put it down until we were finished! Go give it a shot, you won't regret embarking on this ride.

Higher consists of 40 chapters and 167,007 words. The story is rated MA for adult language, drug abuse, and hot sexual situations.

'My name is Bella Swan; good at sign language and karate. My best friend is deaf, and you know what? It doesn't matter.'

Bella Swan has a black belt in Karate, a master's degree at sign language and is absolutely in love with her long-time best friend Edward Cullen. To her, it doesn't matter that Edward is deaf and she just kicks the asses of everyone who thinks otherwise. However, even though they are more than close, it is really hard for the two to express their feelings for each other - and not only because Edward is deaf. Bella - a fierce, utterly loyal, and cool young chick, who kicks butt first and ask absolutely no questions later - thinks she isn't good enough for her best friend which is why she has difficulties confessing her feelings. Edward, on the other hand, believes that his disability stands in the way of a possible relationship. He even tries to stop her from taking on those people who mock him for his sickness but to no avail: Bella defends his honor whenever she thinks she has to! This is the best fan-fiction I have ever read and trust me, I've read many. The touching relationship between Edward and Bella will capture you from the start! It flows naturally and is nothing but pure fluff. And even though the two are only able to communicate via sign-language, the story is far from boring but rather touching and informative. A World Without Sound is light and humorous, yet still manages to touch upon topics that make you sad. Relating to Edward through Bella's POV is something only a few writers can do but The Romanticidal Edwardian is definitely one of them. This story will make you cry, laugh and aw like you're a thirteen-year-old girl again because even though the laughs will happen first, the crying will catch up on you in the end when things get heavy (even though there is minimal angst). Short flashbacks show you a protective Esme, a slightly too sexual Alice and Jasper, an abrasive Emmett and even a six-year old Edward, who hates the fact that best friend has a crush on his father! Such a heart-warming and beautifully composed story - not to be missed!

Edward Cullen is trapped in a life he never would have chosen for himself. After four years of being with Tanya, an attractive yet very choleric young woman, towards whom he never felt anything but friendship, his and her family want nothing more then for him to propose. Caving in, Edward buys an engagement ring but can't help but think that asking her to marry him would not be the right thing to do. He is brought up from his thoughts when he hears a loud crash and watches a car hit a fancy looking SUV before running off. Edward sprints over to the car and finds a beautiful young woman slumped over the steering wheel. In the few seconds she's conscious she says her name is Bella, mumbles that she doesn't have family that needs to be contacted, and begs him not leave her side. Weirdly drawn to and fascinated by Bella, Edward is unable to leave her alone. He rides with her to the hospital where a nurse watches him pull out the ring he was meant to give Tanya. Before he knows it, Edward is taken for Bella's fiancé, fills out as much paperwork as he can in her name (based on what he finds in her purse) and visits her day after day...

Edward sits by her bed daily and talks to her sweetly. This woman he doesn't know at all has completely messed with his mind and he has no explanation why. Edward often touches her hand, kisses her cheek or temple, and enjoys feeling this wonderful buzzing that goes through his body whenever he does. After her surgery Bella is slowly getting better and starts to react to Edward's tender caresses. Days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and not a single day passes without Edward being at Bella's side. Shortly after she was brought to the hospital he was told that she's pregnant (and of course everyone assumes it's his) and Edward loves hardly anything more than watching her belly grow and feel the baby move. The longer he spends time with Bella the more he realizes that he has fallen fast and hard for her - a woman he hasn't spoke more than three sentences to. It isn't until Bella's slightly crazy family appears that Edward finds out his "Sleeping Beauty" might not be who he thinks and hopes she is. A dark past lays behind her and no one seems to be able to give him answers to his many questions. To make matters worse, Tanya completely loses control when Edward breaks up with her and no one knows what will happen once Bella wakes from her coma...

  This story is absolutely fantastic! Because Bella isn't conscious for close to half of the story means that all the focus lays on Edward (a third-person narrator tells the story from his perspective). Yet even though we don't have any kind of interaction between our favorite couple for a long time, the story is never boring and also doesn't lack romance! Edward is absolutely sweet with her and does everything in his power to make her feel better! He even takes care of Jake, Bella's puppy! The reader just can't wait for Bella to wake up but there's always this dreading feeling in the back of one's head that she might not appreciate everything Edward does for her. It's obvious that these two belong together but while Edward had months familiarizing himself with his love and her family, Bella won't even remember talking to him the day of the accident once she opens her eyes. While You Were Knocked Out Cold is a wonderfully realistic story with a happy ending and a HILARIOUS Charlie. Let me just give you one example: Charlie finds out that his daugther is pregnant and assumes Edward is the father. Renee hugs her future son-in law but Charlie is less than amused: "Renee, let the man breathe. I want him coherent when I strangle him to death." :D Yes, that's Mr. Swan for you! Read this fanfiction, it's really wonderful!

  While You Were Knocked Out Cold consists of 36 chapters and a total of 87,530 words. The story is rated M for angst and foul language.

Edward Cullen had everything in his life: he grew up in a rich and loving family and was on the best way of becoming a doctor at the University of Maryland. But a tragic event strikes him so hard that he drifts to a dark place, abandons his family, and withdraws to himself completely. The once lively and loving Edward slowly turns into a broody and angry young man. Yet still, luck seems to somehow be on his side as he miraculously manages to receive an amazing scholarship from the University of Washington; offering him to start a second career as a football player. Considering that he is in dire need of money and a new persective in life, Edward accepts the Dean's offer, but also needs to accept some conditions. As the Dean is well aware of Edward's escapades in the past he is only willing to welcome him to UW if he either stays in his dorm room all the time, thoroughly watched by surveillance cameras, or goes to live in an apartment with four other young people, one of whom will keep an eye on him. Needless to say, Edward chooses option number 2 and finally becomes the newest member of the Huskies Football Team...

What he doesn't expect is that his four new roommates will change his life irrevocably. First of all, Edward shares the apartment with three women - Alice, Rosalie, and Bella - and one guy - Emmett. The latter is supposed to keep Edward in check all the time and informs him rather harshly that he'd better stay the hell away from his girlfriend Rose. Moreover, Emmett also wants him to stay clear of Alice's and Bella's way all the time and, for now, that doesn't sound like too big of a challenge for Edward. At least until he meets Bella. Though the two don't start off on good terms when they meet, the still realize quickly that they suffer from similar traumatic pasts. Edward falls hard for her but is patient enough to let her set the pace of the relationship. They both decide to continue whatever is happening between them in secret for a while, at least until Emmett gets a lot more comfortable around Edward. But of course, their plan doesn't work and Emmett finds out way too suddenly for their liking. What will happen then? And will Bella's and Edward's pasts eventually break them apart?

I can't believe I did not find this story earlier! In the vast Twilight fandom, it seems as though Learn You Inside Out was hidden somewhere and I had to dig hard and deep to find it. But now that I did, I strongly encourage everyone to read it! This story has is all: whether you are looking for angst, a sexy Sportward, who aspires to become a doctor (gah! I need a fan!), lovely lemons, comfort, fluff, or even some college drama - I don't think there is anything this story lacks! wolfpgirl has also created great character personalities apart from the awesome plot-line. She manages to include a peppy Alice as a dance leader for the Huskies and the girlfriend of Edward's best friend Jasper; a bold and car-loving Rose and her lover, the overprotective bear, Emmett; as well as our lovely Edward and a dancing Bella all into one! Furthermore, you will never miss out on both Edward's and Bella's thinking since the story alternates between their respective points of view. The story will clench your heart in ways you have probably never experienced before and leave you hooked until the very last word, leaving you sighing happily at the end. Experience a superb written fanfiction that I'm sure you'll enjoy more than the best rollercoaster you have ever sat in - no kidding! So WORTH THE READ!!!

Edward is bored out of his mind. The only reason why he hasn't yet broken up with his pseudo-girlfriend Tanya is that, at least, every Wednesday he's getting laid. Yes, Tanya is shallow, not the best in bed and definitely not at all interested in Edward but hey, a man has needs, right? But sooner rather than later the young pathology doctor realizes that he can't stand another day with the blonde woman he shares a bed with once a week. And so, when he finds out she going to move into a new apartment, together with three other girls, he decides to take this opportunity to tell her their "relationship" is over. Enter roommate numer 3: an English teacher with a hot body, deep brown eyes, and a refreshingly direct sense of humor.

Because Bella Swan says pretty much what she thinks and also well-raised, smart, and independent. Edward feels the connection toward her immediately and doesn't say no when she invites him over to a birthday party that same night. As Tanya appears not to give a damn where he goes and with whom, Edward agrees and dresses up nicely before taking Bella to her friend, Heather. The latter is, for lack of a better words, a bit unconventional and crazy and wants all her male guests to take off their shirts before entering the house. Reluctantly Edward does and, together with his brother Emmett, he attracts a number of more than interested women. But his eyes are for Bella only and though it takes a while until they finally make it out of there and get on their way to a more private place, the sparks never cease to fly between the two...

What a wonderful, fun, and sexy little fanfiction! Completely written from Edward's POV The Party bycompass54 has everything you need if you don't have much time to start multi-chaptered stories. There is absolutely no angst and drama, but lots of naked Edward, snarky Bella, and a sweet Emmett! Dozens of hilarious scenes won't give you a moment without laughter and, sometimes, that's excactly what you need after reading fanfics that are literally overflowing with gut-wrenching scenes! Give it a try, you will be throughly entertained for an hour or two!

Isabella Swan, daughter of Baron Charlie Swan, is slowly suffocating from the expectations and pretenses of the society she was born into. When she learns that she is about to be married off to the inappropriate Lord Jacob Black, she balks and decides to run away from home. With help from her handmaid, Angela, she escapes to town and seeks shelter with Angela's family. For a while, everything seems like it will be alright. She enjoys being with the Webbers and can even imagine spending the rest of her life there with them. Yet during her stay, she stumbles upon wanted poster of a man named Edward Cullen. She discovers that he's an infamous pirate that's rumored to have killed his own father. For some reason, the picture of the man intrigues her, no matter how hard she tries to deny it. Later that night, she and the Webbers learn that guards sent by her father have come to take her back. They make a plan to disguise Bella as a boy so that she'll be safer when running away. She makes it out to the streets, but when a guard finds her and mistakes her for a pirate, Jasper Whitlock, first mate to the notorious pirate captain Edward Cullen has to save her. He sympathizes with the young woman and offers her refuge on his ship. Scared and desperate, Bella accepts.

Edward Cullen has demons of his own to deal with long before Isabella Swan arrives in his life. His past is even darker than his present and he has much reason to be as jaded as he is. False accusations and unjust charges fuel his desire for revenge. It's in this state that Bella finds him. Edward and Bella clash from the moment they meet. Bella (or Ben as she calls herself in order to keep her disguise) is annoyed at the captain and his cruel ways, and the last thing Edward wants is a weak boy on his ship. However, as time goes on and circumstances force the two closer and closer, they develop feelings for each other...feelings that scare both of them to no end. Bella knows who Edward is and how being with someone like him could ruin her life, and Edward is just scared to be feeling anything other than anger. As Edward's violent past comes back to haunt him, will his feelings for Bella heighten his resolve? Or merely crash and burn?

Mystique-jewled took me completely by surprise in this story. I'll admit that I didn't know what to expect when I first started reading it as I was simply trusting a recommendation. As I started reading it, though, I couldn't help but be drawn in by mystique-jewled's writing. She hasn't written many fanfictions yet (only this story and a one-shot), but I can tell that she's definitely an author to watch out for. Her words just flow very beautifully and all of her characters are distinct and developed. The dynamic between all of her characters is planned and executed very precisely and it left me laughing, crying, and shaking my head several times throughout the story. Also, the chemistry between Edward and Bella is simply superb. The sexual tension between the two is incredibly thick whenever they're together and it leaves you begging for more. The fact that their love is a little bit forbidden just heightens the tension that much more. Edward's character in the story is so lonely and jaded that you just have to sympathize with him. He makes a few bad decisions, but you come to understand that his character is simply flawed in that way. Bella's influence on him and the moments they share together are so sweet and passionate that I never wanted them to end. Though mystique-jewled specializes in keeping the reader on the edge of their seat through her drama-filled chapters, the fluff is just as good. The story was just recently completed and I followed it until the very last word
