Vines

FIC/LINK: Vines

AUTHOR: FictionFreak95

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: After years of running away, Edward Cullen finds himself back at his family's home in Napa Valley vineyard. What should have been a short trip and quick sell of an old run down crop turns into one of the hardest decisions he never though he'd have to make.

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Edward joined the army to escape his family, his past, and the vines. But when tragedy strikes and Edward has to return home, he realizes running away a second time may not be as easy as he thought. 

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 5 - Clean Flavor. Edwards first encounter with Bella wasn't what people would call smooth and in this chapter he gets another go around. Their interaction is so cute but hilarious as Bella is trying to deny the obvious attraction.

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 19 - Thin Line. This chapter is a bit of a rollercoaster. Its set at a festival and we get cute and fun Bella and Edward moments with their friends but where Edward is, there's always trouble. There's a surprise appearance and some fists are thrown!

FINAL THOUGHT: Army/VineWard and his Pie Girl are awesome! (Bella gives him a cute nickname too but you have to read to find out!) Edward was going back to a home he ran away from just to tie up loose ends and then he hoped to escape again. He expected nothing from the trip but gained so much. Its a really good drama/humor fic. Oh and the author gives out nifty little info about wines at the end of each chapter :)

The Best I Ever Had

FIC/LINK: The Best I Ever Had

AUTHOR: whatsmynomdeplume

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: Sex between friends complicates everything. Bella knows this. But she has no idea how much more Edward is going to complicate things.

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Who says guys and girls can't be friends? Bella and Edward are best of friends. Until one night when the 'friend' line is completely bleached away. Can they still be friends? Can they be friends with benefits? Or can they be more?

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 1 - The gang are so funny! They're hounding Bella as to who it is that gave her the best sex of her life. She's remaining coy. Then in walks Edward.... the 'best sex' deliverer. He's one of the gang too but Bella and Edward are JUST friends...right?

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 10 - Their relationship progresses so much up to this point...too bad it was all online. Now they see each other in the flesh again! But it won't go the way they want it to.

FINAL THOUGHT: This fic is short, complete, and so funny!!!! This is all in BPOV but I love how the author slips in very erm...panty-wetting EPOV passages in between each chapter. Loved the way it ended!! 

Dear Mr Masen

FIC/LINK: Dear Mr Masen

AUTHOR: jendonna

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: "Error 434: Reprimanding an executive" Life changing or just stupid? Dear Mr Masen: A story of unauthorized internet usage, culinary delights and the goings-on at Cullne Inc.

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Bella's passion in life is cooking. Yet she's working in IT at a big corporation trawling for unauthorised internet usuage. But when she reprimands the CFO (soon to be CEO) Mr Masen for looking up recipes, she inadvertently starts up a friendship about food.

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 1 - Honestly, if you are not laughing throughout this and clicking that 'next chapter' button as quick as you can...I don't understand!

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 17. Things go both uphill and downhill from this point forward

FINAL THOUGHT: The beginning of this fic is so cute! Its just emails back and forth between Edward and Bella but they are so funny! I'm really glad that they became such good friends before anything happened. Bella is truly the yin to Edward's yang.

There is a Light

FIC/LINK: There is a Light

AUTHOR: belladonnacullen

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: This was 1987; before the Internet, before Twitter, before Facebook - this was back when it was still possible for people to not know about things: big things - like bands, and little things - like G-spots

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Its 1987. You have a crush on a rockstar. You know everything about them. Birthday, likes, dislikes, who his parents are. But what happens when the rockstar wants to know those things about you? Well Little One, you're about to find out. 

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 4 - What She Said. This chapter covers an interesting span of time and is very up and down but leaves you reeling with wonder.

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 14 - I Know Its Over. You suspect the events that are explained in this chapter happened much earlier but this plays that scene out for you. Shattering event!

FINAL THOUGHT: This story...THIS STORY! My god! Its so emotional and beautiful and heartbreaking! Just AMAZING! My heart aches with love and loss and I absolutely adore the way it is set up. The back and forth of past and present is brilliant as Bella relives this story for her daughter. She could have written this in a consecutive order of time but the effect would not be the same. The teasing of then and now are what make the story so good!

High School Confidential

FIC/LINK: High School Confidential

AUTHOR: troublefollows1017

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: Bella, fresh from a breakup, starts a new job as a guidance counselor at Masen HS under the watchful eye of her very handsome but very married principal, Edward Cullen. A connection begins to develop as they work together to help the troubled students.

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Bella begins her new role as a guidance counselor at Masen HS making fast friends with the students and faculty. Too bad the only person she wants to be really friendly with is the married principal Edward. The two grow close as they work together with the students but how close can you get to a taken man?

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 5 - Saturday's All Right. Edward really begins to sweep you off your feet! Oh and Bella too. This guy knocks up so many ticks in this chapter its swoon-worthy!

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 32 - Bella's Monday. This one really threw a curve ball at me! Such a rollercoaster of a chapter!

FINAL THOUGHT: Ahh Edward is so perfect in this fic! OK maybe not cos he's married and attracted to Bella...but you can totally understand why she is head over heels for him. I loved the dramas of the HS students and how they impacted on the lives of the faculty and Jake was perfectly like Jake from the books!

The Plan

FIC/LINK: The Plan

AUTHOR: QuantumFizzx

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: Obsessed but unnoticed for over a year, she puts a plan in motion to catch the eye of corner-office Cullen. That's her plan. Fate has another plan entirely.

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: When Bella has to go on a business trip with her assaholic, demanding, boss Edward, she discovers how big of an ass he can be. Waiting on him hand and foot and obeying his every order would drive anybody to quit! But can Edward break Bella or can she outplay him and predict everything he needs before he needs it.

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 6 - Day 369 7:30am. Bella is handed what everyone else see's as her death sentence. The job of being Edward Cullen's assistant! Dun dun duuuuuun!

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 39 - Day 375 9:20pm. You will be whooping and cheering for Bella in this one!

FINAL THOUGHT: Another fic that updated very quickly...like 5 times a day! With tiny little chapters! You could zoom through all 70 odd chapters in under 2 hrs! Assward in this fic is such an ass! But luckily Bella knows how to handle him. She's so good at her job and you will love her every time she stumps Cullen!

Let's Get Physical

FIC/LINK: Let's Get Physical

AUTHOR: Lalina

HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: The Goal: Lose 70lbs. The Prize: One steamy night with her personal trainer. When overweight Bella is left by her husband, she is determined to lose weight with the help of Edward Masen. What starts off as payback ends up as so much more.

HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Whats the best revenge on your ex? A smokin hot makeover! Bella joins a gym and is set up with a seemingly reluctant trainer, Edward, but their physical training may get a little more physical then they both expect.

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Chapter 2: What do you mean HE? Bella is so self conscious she doesn't want a male trainer. but after meeting Edward, who could say no?

CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 29 - Hitting Rock Bottom. The chapter title says it all. Both Edward and Bella hit the bottom in this chapter :(

FINAL THOUGHT: I love how real this author was. She never set the story out to get Bella down to a size 0 and was realistic with the weight loss. She had a really good message about Bella finding herself as she lost the weight. Edward as a sexy trainer was definitely incentive but I love how the two became really close friends before anything else. Great story!
