Original Sin by BookwormBaby2580

What makes a man irredeemable? USC student Bella Swan finds herself asking that question when she gets involved with the sexy, yet tight-lipped Dr. Carlisle Cullen, a man living in a self-imposed purgatory for the undisclosed crimes of his past.

Pairing: Carlisle/Bella

Status: Complete

Genre: AH, Non-Canon, Age Gap

Have you ever had one of the stories that really stands out to you? One that makes your chest hurt a little bit as you fly through each chapter? That is exactly what Original Sin has done to me. Bella meets Carlisle in the school library and eventually they start a relationship...only they both know that it won't be going anywhere. Carlisle is adamant about not settling down and Bella accepts that...at first. As the pair continue to date, she can't help but fall in love with Carlisle. What happens when the secrets of his past come to light? You won't believe it...it's not often when a fic surprises me, but this one definitely caught me off guard. It's an angsty read, but I have hopes that it will be a HEA. If you love some Carlisle and a younger woman/older man plot, you should give Original Sin a try. It's well written and will keep you on your toes! Not to mention this Carlisle is hot as hell :)

My Top 3 of the Week (5/15 - 5/22)

May 21st has passed and the world didn't end! Since we've still got some time on Earth, here are some new stories to check out....my top 3 of the week!

Foul Territory by rinabina

After being dragged to a baseball game by her best friend, Bella Swan meets handsome first baseman, Edward Cullen with the help of a rogue foul ball. There's something about him that she can't put out of her head, and apparently neither can he.

Baseballward anyone? rinabina has written a lovely Sportsward story that's complete, go check it out!

Take This Heart by BookwormBaby2580

Bella's life is a constant choice between bad and worse until she moves to Forks and meets the one man who can ease her burdens. But trust doesn't always come easily, especially when life has taught you that you're safer on your own.

I did a review for this story awhile ago and the author posted the final chapter this week. *sniffs* I'm sad to see it go but it was an excellent story. You can read more about Take This Heart in my other post here.

We Come to Life Beneath the Stars by Lillybellis

As Bella Swan starts over with hopes of finding her future, Edward Cullen is hanging on desperately to his past. She's treading water, and he's a corporate golden boy. They share an office, but few words...until one night changes everything.

I can't say enough good things about this fic. It's complete, 19 chapters and has one of the sweetest Edwards I've ever read. WCtLBtS has a very realistic feel to it and was a refreshing read. Go. Read. Enjoy.


That's all I've got for you today, hopefully you've found something new to read. Until next time...
