FIC/LINK: The Cannabean Betrothal
AUTHOR: ItzMegan73
HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: Edward has immersed himself in the Cannabean way to ward off the hurt of a life-changing experience; but an unexpected betrothal teaches him how little he knows about life. There is no abuse in this story.
HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Bella and Edward live in the Cannabean society. Moving to the small town of Forks, Bella did not have any high hopes for life until she arranged to be courted by a certain male of the Cannabean society. Both get to know each other by following some strict Cannabean rules but aren't rules are meant to be broken?
CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 4: A Granted Acquaintance - which is exactly that! Edward is formally introduced to Bella and you start to get a feel of all the rules that they are bound by.
CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 11: The Foundation of Trust - Lots of VERY interesting information happens here and E and B may break a rule here ;)
FINAL THOUGHT: I don't usually read religious fics but the Cannabean way of life is so bizarre to me. Its so old fashioned and strict. Permission needs to be grnated for B and E to court each other and they are chaperoned EVERYWHERE! No alone time what-so-ever. It is so formal and so so so innocent!! I feel frustrated for the two of them but it is such a sweet fic! No smut yet but you will be swooning at something as simple as a hand hold!

IT SURE DOES! one of the sweetest ffs.... i truely adore this ff!
another must read =)
I love this Authors work - anything she writes is pure gold to me.
The Cannabean communitity in Forks is added to when Bella, and her parents Renee and Charlie, move to the small town. This way of life is simple, and has it's own set of very rigid rules. Courtship being the main one.
Edward still lives with his parents, and has broken himself away from the majority of his family after an unsavoury circumstance. Enter Bella, an unattached Cannabean who has instantly drawn the attention of the town. It is assumed natural for Bella and Edward to be paired together, as Cannabeans are only permitted to marry someone of the same beliefs, and the numbers in communites are lessening. There is no one else for suitable suitors.
They have to have a chaperone at all times, are not permitted to touch unless in prayer, and the male in the relationship is the provider. Bella will not be expected to work, even though she is finishing her teaching degree.
They have a lot of situations they have to work through, and these are sometimes confusing and frustrating. Everything is new, especially for Bella who has had no experience with these types of feelings.
They fall in love, and occasionally break a few rules, but it's all very innocent. I adore eveything about this story. It's sweet and well written, and a must read for me.
