Did the reviewer finish reading the story? Yes (Chapter 21 at time of review)

*spoilers follow*

Jake-lovers beware. In this fic, he’s a controlling prick that we haven’t even learned much about. All we know is that while they were dating, he forced Bella into oral sex, and got upset when she wouldn’t go further. He has since called her by breaking into Charlie’s house and dialing from his speed dial, and Bella has to get a new phone number. We don’t even know much about him other than he’s a scary prick for Bella, and now Edward would like nothing more than to feed Jake his own balls on a silver platter. Or worse.

Aside from that little note, I-LOVE-THIS-FIC! It’s sweet and romantic, and is all about redemption (for everyone but Jake, I assume… If that changes, I’ll be sure to update this review).

*more major spoilers follow*

As you may derive from the summary, the hindrance for ExB in this story is that it seems everywhere they turn, their love is forbidden. As a 17-year-old girl, Bella goes over to Alice’s house for dinner, and she is finally going to meet Alice’s older adopted brother, Edward, who she had stolen a picture of from Alice’s room (a little stalkerish, but what don’t we do when we’re 17?). Hah… the clincher here? Edward is 27. And a crack addict. Bella doesn’t know this when she takes a walk with him out to the meadow. Nothing happens, of course. Edward is a Dante specialist, and after the evening is over, he is convinced that their midnight rendezvous is nothing more than a dream, and his Beatrice was a figment of his romantic imagination. It takes a while for him to realize that his new student, Bella (who is now 27, and consequently, Edward is 37), is the same girl that stole his heart that evening.

I can’t wait for this story to continue developing. A must-read for Edward lovers. *wide grin*

Note 2/15/10: Yeah... If you love Jake, you WON'T love this story.
