Bella Swan: The Unwanted Bride

Bella Swan: The Unwanted Bride written by: tumblin' di

Summary: Bella is coerced into marrying a dying Edward Masen during the flu outbreak of 1918. The first time Edward sees Bella, he thinks she's an angel. The next time he sees her, he is sure she's the devil. Romance, humor, little bit of angst. Lemons later...

Ramble: When I first started reading this story, I thought that it would be a human to vampire story. There are quite a few twists and turns that change things around, right when you think you know what will happen. While reading, I was glad that the story was complete when I started reading it, because the words just kept going, even between the chapters (that, and when waiting for certain stories, I tend to loose my patience).

You Belong With Me

You Belong With Me written by: SparklingWand

Summary: OneShot: Bella was the class nerd, the best friend, and a hater of Valentine's Day. That was until she fell for her best friend Edward. Will Edward ever notice his best friend is more than what she seems? Can he change her mind about Valentine's Day?

Ramble: It is interesting to see how one bad experience can change someone's views for the rest of their life. Believing that she is the ugly duckling, Bella hangs out with her best friends in school, but does not let any boys get close to her. Changing when friendship becomes relationship. It is interesting to see how magical senior year can be...

Naughty Secrets

Naughty Secrets written by: A Little Distracted

Summary: Bella is a school librarian leading a naughty secret life. Edward is a history teacher with a naughty obsession. If he could only see what is right in front of his face... AU/AH - Rated M for Hot LEMONS! Each chapter alternates POV's

Ramble: Wow.... this is a really interesting read. Some parts were really intense and nerve wrecking, but all in all, it was really well written. The different perspectives allows the readers to have all the insider information on the the two. At first some of the characters did not seem to really match up with what one would assume they would do. Not everything is as it seems, and some of the curve balls that were thrown at the end were really good.

After All

After All written by: ILikeReading

Summary: Edward and Bella were childhood friends but drifted apart during high school. Graduation is just around the corner and it's time for them to come to terms with their relationship. One shot.

Ramble: A really sweet look at childhood friends, and how they might drift apart but still be within reach in the long run of things. The rating of the story seems a little high to me, nothing really explicit happens but it is a really nice look at the foundation of a strong relationship that 'will be' developing in people's minds.

Batteries Not Included

Batteries Not Included written by: MizzezPattinson

Summary: Bella Swan is single, in her late 30's and wishes she could turn back the hands of time to win over her much younger boss, big shot movie star, Edward Cullen. One night out leads Bella's inner cougar to surface.

Ramble: The summary gives really good hints, and overall feel of the story. It is on the short side, so things move really quickly. This seems to be the author's first story (at least on fanficiton) and it is really well written. A fun read, especially if wanting the kind where something pretend turns into reality.

The Sacrificial Lamd

The Sacrificial Lamb written by: mcgt for: Dommella's Dungeon

Summary: Isabella's name had been spoken by the great shaman Alissandra. What happens when she's the chosen one to save her hamlet from utter destruction? Lady in RED contest entry.

Ramble: Bella is chosen to be the sacrifice to the gods. Through this path, she finds out more about her birth and the path that she is supposed to fulfill. We follow as she follows her destiny and wait to see what will come out of the relationship between Edward and Bella in the long run.

Snapshots of Desire

Snapshots of Desire written by: ThroughTheLensAnonymousContest

Summary: An up and coming model. A photographer. A sensual photo shoot...

Ramble: A caring photographer gets to watch a model slowly relax and enjoy a photo shoot. There is an interesting suggestion made at the end, but that is for another story. Some of the other characters that were on the set at the beginning of the story fits in with my expectations of what they would have said in the same situation.

Bella Swan, Slave Girl

Bella Swan, Slave Girl written by: IHaveAFatCat15

Summary: Bella Swan has been a slave since she was 12, now she is 17, what will happen when Edward Cullen buys her?

Ramble: Not really what I first expected. It is a really short, and quick moving story. Although Bella is bought as a slave, she is treated like a lady for most of the story... That could be seen as a good or bad thing, I guess.

Public Relations

Public Relations written by: snshyne

Summary: Bella Swan, the President of Black-Swan, Inc, WANTS Edward Cullen Owner and Creative Director of ECSquared. What is she going to do about it? A fun fic mini-series. M, AH, OOC, E/B, canon pairings.

Ramble: Public relations are what gets this story started. At first I thought that this will be really short, but it turned out to be the perfect length. Shorter than most stories, but long enough to get interested, and be willing to step back when the story is done. We follow Edward and Bella's relationship as it develops, and watch as they have to deal with each others ex-boy/girl friends.
