Broken Promises by bellaLife Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 508]
Summary:

Broken Promises Banner

Isabella Swan never imagined that one night at a club would change her life, that it would jeopardize everything she had worked so hard for, everything she held dear. If only she had known when she met Edward Masen that it would be the beginning of the end of life as she knew it, perhaps she would have turned the other way. Then again, maybe not?

I get the feeling that Jessica set everything up, hoping to break up the engagement & get Mike on the rebound.  I'm looking forward to the awkward dinner



Author's Response:

One dinner coming up...stay tuned to see what becomes of it.

You should be cowering, leaving us like that!  I hope that Bella still breaks it off with Mike, even if she doesn't think Edward wants her.



Author's Response:

I know. I know. I am still hiding out on my island...oops did I just say that? Nevermind, no island here. Dont' worry, the reviews on this chapter so far have done so much for my muse early on this Friday morning, that I might just have an update for you sooner than I expected! Look out for it, and thanks for sharing.

I'm glad Jess spilled the beans.  I didn't want Bella to be blamed for not going through with the wedding.

 

Mike is truly pond scum



Author's Response:

Thanks for commenting on this chapter. I knew Jess was going to be the one who spilled everything, from about chapter two. I just had to get us there. Now we are here and I am so pleased at how the chapter turned out. Mike is a jerk and a half, but there is more to be discerned about him as well. More on that in the next chapter.

Great to hear why Edward did what he did. 

I don't understand the conversastion he had with Emmett though.  What happened between Em & R?  How did they get through it since they are together in this story?



Author's Response:

I'm glad Edward's perspective helped you to understand why he did what he did.

The conversation makes sense, since Rose and Emmett are NOT together at this point in the story-though they might be in the future. If you read chapter 4-Bounty Hunter, you will see that Emmett dropped Rose and ran off to Barbados with another woman. They are not together now, though Emmett wishes that they were. He wasn't ready for a real relationship and did what he usually did, he broke her heart. I might explain more on this in a future chapter.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Bella Swan has a cataclysmic experience in a bar with a complete stranger.  He abandons her just after, but left her with much more of himself than she bargained for.  Some people don’t believe in destiny. They believe that we are the pilots of our own fates through our choices and actions.  What happens when forces of nature are stronger than our beliefs?  Can destiny trump volition?

Sureal is right!  I really want to see where you take this story.  Does Edward relize he's delivering his own child? 



Author's Response:

No, he doesn't, but he is a smart guy and it shouldn't take him too long to figure things out. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

All of this should be addressed next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I thought you were heading for a HEA.  I guess you aren't ready to end the story yet, so you're bringing in James for more conflict.  Can we set him up with Tanya?



Author's Response:

No worries I am a firm brliever in HEA! But I love the idea of Tanya and James causing each other grief though. Too funny :)

He's being very sweet to Bella.  He needs to end it with Jess, soon!

I'm happy for A & J

 
Summary:

Ten years.

Ten years have passed since Edward left Bella that day in the woods. He doesn't know what happened to her. He doesn't know if she's happy. He doesn't know if she's had the life that he intended for her.

Alice has developed a new talent closely related to her precognition, and she finally prevails upon Edward to check up on Bella, for her and Esme's sake if nothing else.

And what they see will destroy the fragile peace that Edward has lived in for the past decade.

(Note: this is most definitely not a Bella/Jacob story. In fact, it is at its heart a Bella/Edward story.)

The rating is for violence and character death, not erotica. If you're looking for erotica... sorry. Wrong place.

The Deluded by FantasyMother Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 648]
Summary:

Edward lowered his eyes to his lap, obviously uncomfortable with my question.  But there was nothing odd about it.  It shouldn't cause tension, or reveal hidden secrets, or cause the amount of angst currently contorting his features.

I had simply asked him why he lived in the woods.

He grabbed a grape off the table, popped it in his mouth, and raised his head while he slowly chewed  - scanning the trees ringing my office, as if he was searching for an answer to give me.  I could see a faint blush to his cheek, and a hint of unshed tears in his crystalline green eyes.  I could almost hear his heartbeat pick up speed as he finally turned to me.  Closing his eyes for a moment he took a deep breath, willing himself to calm.  Then his eyes snapped to my face and with renewed determination took another deep breath.

"Bella, I live there because I'm a vampire."

Author's Response:

And thank you!

 
Summary:

 

The summer before her junior year in college, Bella moves to be closer to her father. All the while adding some much needed space from her crazed frat-boy ex-boyfriend. Being there for her father comes with the fresh start she needs. (One without men to complicate it) Until, one evening after her shift the most gorgeous man she has ever laid eyes on...comes to her aid. He causes Bella to almost forget the vow she's taken against the opposite sex. Almost. That is until the realization that he's a frat boy and she's never going there again. No matter how those intense green eyes make her feel.

What will happen when Bella transfers to the University of Washington and meets a handsome coed, Edward? Will she find peace from her past or be stuck playing the part?

Reading it again, I wonder if the stalker is the cofee shop co-worker who hit on her. (too lazy to reread the beginning to ID the guy).

Loved Bella dealing with Tanya.  I'm thinking James isn't the original stalker, but he will be getting into it now.

I'm thinking either Laurent or coffee boy for stalker.
