This is a story filled with mysteries and lots of playful lemons. ;). One day Bella's best friend and roommate, Rosalie has to interview multimillionaire Edward Cullen for a college magazine. Since Rosalie is sick, she asks Bella to do it as a favor. Watch, or in this case read, how a simple interview meeting where sparks fly changes both their lives. How Bella goes from being a simple, innocent girl to a submissive to a very dominant Edward Cullen.

A little piece of the story:

I am on my hands and knees in the doorway to Mr Cullen’s office, and gentle hands are around me helping to pull me up. I am so embarrassed, damn my clumsiness. I have to steel myself to glance up. Holy Crow, he’s so young…
“Miss Hale…” he extends a long-fingered hand to me, once I’m stood. “I’m Edward Cullen. Are you all right? Would you like to sit?”
He’s so young… and attractive. Very attractive. Tall, dressed in a fine grey suit, white shirt and black tie with unruly bronze hair and intense, bright green eyes that regard me shrewdly.
“Err… actually,” It takes a moment for me to find my voice, and I think my mouth has plopped open in astonishment. If this guy is over thirty then I’m a monkey’s uncle… I extend my hand to him in a daze, and we shake. As our fingers touch I feel a strange current go through me. I withdraw my hand hastily, and I can feel myself blinking… rapidly, matching my heart rate.“Miss Hale is err… indisposed, so she sent me. I hope you don’t mind, Mr Cullen.”
“And you are…?” His voice is warm, possibly amused but it’s difficult to tell from his impassive expression. He looks mildly interested, but above all, polite.
“Isabella Swan. I’m studying English with Rose… err Rosalie… err Miss Hale at Washington State.”
“I see,” he says simply and I think I can see the ghost of a smile in his expression but I’m not sure. “Would you like to sit?” He waves me towards a white leather buttoned L-shaped couch. The room is vast with an enormous modern dark wood desk beside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Everything is white except on the wall by the door, there’s a succession of small square paintings, thirty-six of them arranged in a square…. they are exquisite, a series of mundane, forgotten objects, painted in such precise detail they look like photographs. Displayed together, they are breathtaking.
“A local artist. Trouton.” He says when he catches my gaze.
“They’re lovely. Raising the ordinary to extraordinary,” I murmur, distracted, by him and by the paintings.
He gazes at me intently.“Yes Miss Swan,” he replies softly.

This story is complete and its sequel, "Cant help loving you" is also put up. Read it, love it, and enjoy it ;)

A little piece of the story:

Edward and I had made plans for dinner one night. I was so excited and figured something was going to happen. At the last minute he cancelled saying he needed to work on a school project. I let it go figuring we could try again another time. The next day Edward came home and had brought a girl named Tanya with him. I was increasingly jealous. Shortly after they started dating and I was heartbroken. He had even given his virginity to her.
Realizing nothing was going to happen with us, I started dating too. Hoping to find someone else I could be in love with instead of Edward. I dated quite a few guys and even slept with some but none of them ever made my heart nearly explode like Edward did.
He we are 5 years later and Edward and Tanya were still together. They shared an apartment. I hated Tanya more than anything. She didn’t like Edward and I hanging out and therefore I only got to see Edward once in awhile. She constantly rubbed it in my face that they were together. Now I was pretty glad that she was a slut; upset that Edward would get hurt, but at least now she would be gone. Over time I could only hope that Edward would recover and eventually see me.
See me the way I have always seen him. I loved Edward and I hoped that one day soon he would realize he loved me the same way too.

This truly is a lovely story. This story takes place in the early 1900s or late 1800, I'm not sure, but starts off with a simple task which always leads to a complicated journey of marriage. Bella, after her 16th birthday, is informed she has to leave immediately and marry a man she has never seen. She does, and she has one of the most romantic days of her life with her newly wed husband. But little does she know that her happiness would not last long. Edward tells her that the marriage is temporary and he needs her only to give him a son and then he would seek the courtship of his love, Tanya and he wanted nothing else. How will Bella take this and survive? Read it, love it and enjoy it ;)

A little piece of the story:

The wind was battering the carriage from all sides, howling past the windows, making sounds like a baby shrieking. The rain was pelting the roof without hesitation and hitting the windows with such enthusiasm, resembling two lovers embracing after a long absence. The night sky was black, with no break in the grey clouds. The darkness was only interrupted by the occasional explosion of lighting, with the thunder rolling around soon afterwards. Bella stared out of the window, tracing the raindrops with her fingers. The carriage lurched again, as it made its way over another bump in the road, causing it to sway side to side for a few seconds. Bella peered out of the window, trying to get a glimpse of where she was headed and what it looked like, but being as black as it was, it was impossible to see further than a few yards across the moors they were riding parallel to. Deciding that no matter how long she stared out onto the moors trying to see something, she would see nothing; Bella shut her eyes in a vain attempt to sleep, while knowing there was little chance of sleep gracing her with its presence. There were too many thoughts running through her head at a thousand miles a minute. Here she was, aged sixteen just yesterday, being sent away from home to marry a man she had never met before, because of an agreement made between their parents the day she was born.

Vampire Acadmey

Book Recommendation for Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

This series is amazing! I absolutely love it and it took no time to get through the first four books. They are pretty addicting. The fifth book is set to release in May and the sixth book's release date is to be announced.

Here is the summary from the website.

Two races of vampires walk our world. One, the Moroi, are alive and wield elemental magical. The other, the Strigoi, are undead and evil--feeding on the innocent to survive. Rose Hathaway--a half-vampire with poor impulse control--is training to be a bodyguard for a Moroi princess. Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough, but Rose's real danger may lie in an illicit romance with one of her instructors...

The first four books are, in order, Vampire Academy, Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, and Blood Promise. The fifth one is to be titled Spirit Bound.

Sleepers, Awake

Sleepers, Awake by Feisty Y. Beden

Twilight, Rated M, E/B (sort of), BPOV, AU-H, Complete

I can honestly without hesitation say that this story is like no other. It is completely unique, a little strange, and a lot beautiful. It's pretty dark most of the time and Bella is a little coo coo at points, but the story as a whole is amazing. Feisty Y. Beden has an imagination that words cannot describe and she writes in such a soothing rhythm. I adored it and I hope that you will, too!

I've gone over this review time and time again in my head, wondering how I'm going to do it without giving anything away and the only thing I can come up with is to be very vague. Which kinda sucks because I know I won't do it justice.

Bella is living in Boston and is pretty much a loner. Besides having her best friend Rosalie, she is alone. Her mother left her and her father, Charlie is thousands of miles away in Forks. Ever since her mother left, Bella has been unable to dream. Then, the night that something horribly unexpected happens, Bella begins to dream again. Her world is completely ripped apart by this tragedy, but her dream land is keeping her going. There is hope there, and all kinds of imagination. Pieces start to come together and she begins to remember who she is and was.

Yeah, no justice. Just trust me :)

A little piece of the story:

I can’t see. I can’t move. I’m less alarmed by this than you’d think. My arms are pinned to my sides. I realize I’m wrapped tightly in some sort of shroud. I try to raise my arms. The fabric is old, decaying. After an initial resistance, it tears easily, like ripping through cobwebs. The scraps of fabric fall away with only a whisper of protest, and despite the fading day, I’m squinting, my eyes unaccustomed to the light. How long have I been asleep?
It’s a strangely familiar place. The place is overgrown with briars but still familiar. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been here. It’s all Spanish moss and vines and crumbling stonework. When have I been here? Who was I? It was something important. I can almost remember, the memories murky shadows in my subconscious.
You can tell this place used to be majestic. Maybe hundreds of years ago it might have been a center of an advanced civilization. Now, though, it’s wild and overgrown. Savage. Still, it’s impressive in its own way, beauty in its rawest form.
I stretch my arms above my head and walk in a slow circle, taking in my surroundings as I step over the cloth scraps that once held me prisoner. I’m standing on what must have been a courtyard, tiles of thick granite with grass and weeds now growing through the cracks. Nature always reclaims what we’ve built with our hands.
I step off the edge of the granite slabs onto the hilltop. The grass beneath my bare feet is damp and soft, and the air smells sweet. The wind kicks up, whipping my long hair across my face, and I reach up to tuck the errant strands behind my ears.
I have the oddest feeling that I’ve returned home.

Check out the trailer for this fic. It's amazing, but be sure to read the story first because it's a spoiler!
