Runaway Angel

Runaway Angel written by: Nyx Nuit

Summary: Bella got kicked out, and lives on the streets. Hitchhiking her way across America. Carlisle finds her one night and brings her home. Will they discover her deepest secret? Rated M for underage drinking and language. AU. Rating may change.

Ramble: Lots of different ideas are combined in this story. More mythical creatures, a little trip down memory lane, and sacrifice wanting better things for someone who is loved. The idea of salvation, and how that is can also change depending on who's perspective.

Secrets in Seattle OS

Secrets in Seattle OS written by: sapphirescribe

Summary: WINNER of the 'From the Boardroom to the Bedroom' Contest! Edward is a college student starting a new internship. Jasper is the powerful executive overseeing his department. Will their immediate attraction lead to romance or ruin?

Ramble: A lot of time passes through in this story. It is all well documented, and really shows how the characters change over time. Because of the time jump, the story seemed to go by really fast. At the beginning, days took place in paragraph or two. It took some time for me to get used to really looking and comparing the dates that were given. Other than that little bit of confusion at the beginning, it is a really good story.

MEASURING INCHES

MEASURING INCHES written by: DiCk-FreAk

Summary: She's smart.She's savvy.She's sexy.She's my teacher...and I WANNA FUCK HER!

Ramble: This is pretty much pure smut. Nothing else to really say to describe the story. Measuring things in this story is really relative.

Deck the Balls

Deck the Balls written by: Muse2MyMojo

Summary: A flight home for Christmas turns into Edward Masen's worst nightmare when he gets stuck seated next to Bella Swan. Will their passion to piss each other off end in lumps of coal or lemons in their stockings? O/S written for SFFR 25 days of Christmas.

Ramble: An engineer and a writer meet on a plane, and get stuck in the same city because their connecting flight is delayed/canceled. Through some twists and turns, what will come out of the strange relationship the two share?

Designs, Desires and Disasters

Designs, Desires and Disasters written by: bmango

Summary: When the new guy, Edward, strides into the office, Jasper can't help noticing his beauty. But Jasper's rules about keeping work and love separate stop any chance of a relationship with him. Or do they? AH, slash. Judge's Pick Boardroom to Bedroom contest

Ramble: How stressful the designing world can be. While not all the people who are in this field are necessarily same-sex, but this story has that little extra fact. Secrets between coworkers and friends do not help a relationship develop well, and when tempers start to fly; things are bound to get worse before they get better.

Detention Love

Detention Love written by: LittleLambForever9195

Summary: Edward Cullen finds love in detention with his teacher Bella Swan. But there's something about her that makes her seem much younger than she is? What is her really age? And is she the girl that his parents arranged to marry him? Read and find out!

Ramble: This story has some really smart people in it. I am talking about graduating from college with a teaching degree at like 16. While arranged marriages are not as common as they once were, they play a large role in this story. The label indirect meeting is added, because they really do meet each other indirectly, kind of...

Lessons

Lessons written by: Lindseyfair

Summary: Bella and Edward have been madly in love with each other since the day they started working together. Since they work together, they have settled for being close friends. Now, Bella has a problem and Edward might be the only man who can help her solve it.

Ramble: While it is no longer the Christmas season, this story is really nice. Childhood enemies do sometimes turn out to be the best friend one can have. A story where a plot for revenge get out of hand. One question I have now, is what started the war when Edward and Bella were younger?

Life, Love, and the Mafia

Life, Love, and the Mafia written by: lionlovesthelamb17

Summary: About three things I was sure: first, Edward was not only part of the mafia but he was the mafia boss-second, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him and he with me-and third, there was a part of him that wouldn't let me go, ever.

Ramble: There are a lot of short but passionate scenes in this story. In this story, Edward is extremely possessive of Bella, and the author makes that really clear from the beginning. The way the story is started is similar to Twilight; the way an excerpt from the middle of the book is given, getting readers to wonder what will happen.

Playtime

Playtimewritten by: LaurieLou

Summary: Edward has had a long day at work and just wants to go home and be with his lover, Carlisle. However, Carlisle has been a bad, bad boy. He needs to be punished. What will Master Edward do? I hope you like it. Slash. C/E pairing. Lemons Galore.

Ramble: Woot! A rather short but good BDSM story. It mentions their professions, but focuses more on their relationship.

A Gift I Gladly Share

A Gift I Gladly Share written by: luvrofink

Summary: Summary: O/S OOC Carlisle has invited a special someone into his dungeon where Edward awaits. BDSM themes and graphic sexual situations. CPOV Slash CXE Dedicated to MarchHare5 because I keep my word, even if it takes me a few weeks.

Ramble: Wow, reading this story right after a story where the roles are reversed. After this story, I really want to see what comes out from this story. It would be really interesting to see what other stories come from this author. To tell the truth, I have been following this author and have a lot of the stories on alert. A recommendation My Greatest Masterpiece the story is in the process of being written, so updates take a while, but there are teasers for the story every week or so.

A Letter to My Heart

A Letter to My Heart written by: LaurieLou

Summary: A one-shot based on best friends Edward and Bella, who go through a difficult time when he joins the Army and leaves her behind. Through constant letters from him they communicate in the only way they know how. Sexy Armyward alert.

Ramble: Falling in love with someone who grew up with you, their family is pretty much your second family. Things that have been planed out for a while gets thrown, when one decisions tears the sense of security away. Having feelings expressed and repeated through letters, not knowing where and how the author is doing.

Ménage Triste

Ménage Triste written by: LaurieLou

Summary: It is the eighteenth century and a young Isabella Swan is wedded to the older, harsher Edward Cullen, Duke of Washington. He needs a male heir. She just wants to be loved. A one-shot about loss, love, lust and hope. Rated 'M' for lemon.

Ramble: Starts out with an arranged marriage. This summary actually summarizes the story really well. Looking into times with Dukes and Duchesses, and where men would normally have the last say. In this story, it is interesting to see what liberties Bella have, and why Edward does what he does.

Shag Bands

Shag Bands written by: breatheslow13

Summary: "If you break a purple shag band, it means you have to kiss whoever was wearing it." I explained to my best friend as he played with my wrist. Suddenly, he froze. "Oops," he murmured, holding up the snapped, purple bracelet. AH E/B Fluff

Ramble: This story reminded me of another story that uses snap bands, but I cannot find that story anywhere, and heard that the author's account got hacked, and the story deleted. Both of the stories have similar concepts, this story has a more 'innocent' meaning for the band, where the other story had more 'action involved' meaning. Reading this story, is a good story, but the rating does not really fit the contents of this one.

Fruitcake

Fruitcake written by: Kindall W

Summary: One-shot for the FML Contest. Poor Edward. His family thinks he's gay, and gives him a fruitcake at Christmas to symbolically let him know that they're okay with it. The trouble? He's straight. ExB. AH. Oh, boy. Link to the contest in the story.

Ramble: It is amazing to see what kind of mayhem can come from a family coming up with the wrong conclusion. That, and it is interesting to see how effective a fruitcake is at making a point.

Midnight Blues

Midnight Blues written by: Envy5

Summary: Midnight Blues, the hottest night club in town, is the hotspot of Chicago. Edward Cullen is one of its owners. He has all of the makings of a playboy on the outside, but he isn't on the inside. Could the one bar maid he wants want more like he does?

Ramble: The rating of the story can probably be lowered a little bit. Although there was no lemon in the story, the story still works really well.

Midnight Show

Midnight Show written by: Pastiche.Lethe

Summary: Bella Swan is your ordinary P.A by day, but by night she's a paid entertainment for just one man. But just because the two of them become alone at the strike of twelve, doesn't mean something more can happen? Or is there?

Ramble: A really steamy story, which I did not really expect. This seems a little different from what I first imagined when reading the summary. Really worth the read, and should be read over and over again.

Fulfillment

Fulfillment written by: twilightbibel

Summary: Edward is a Dom and Bella is a Sub. It is Bella's first time in more than one way. Rated M for graphic lemon and language. One shot.

Ramble: An interesting take on BDSM. It was not as intensive as I first thought it would be. The way the plot moves is really good. Bella worrying a lot, and over analyzing things, while Edward, is the caring dom who pays a lot of attention to the details when it comes to Bella. Part of me wishes that they were able to use some of the items pulled out, but maybe that will come out in later stories...

Supermodel

Supermodel written by: julesames

Summary: Bella is a supermodel. And she's shooting a magazine spread for Calvin Klein. With Edward. Topless.

Ramble:Some thing a little different from what is expected of most models. There is a part of the story that is similar to another story I have read before, in a different context. A steamy story that is also a good read.
