Welcome to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Summary: A.H. Bella is German and lives in the most famous house in the world for six months. Suddenly she belongs to the rich and famous and hates her popular/player host brother Edward with a passion.What's the dark secret he is hiding? Caution Addictive! B/E

Personal Reading Experince: Boy was she was right with that warning! It is addictive! I became a fan of this story days after it was finished and sat there with a giant thing of soda until I finished it! I actually passed on a trip to the mall to finish reading it!

The thing I like most about this story is that Edward and Bella don't instantly fall in love. It isn't one of those stories that basically skip "the chase". It takes time before they fall in love, but boy do they have some fun times. Too bad the press is there to catch all of it. But what do you expect when your messing with the president's son?

SPOILERS (KINDA): From picking eachother up drunk, getting caught in the rain, ending up at the crappiest hotel ever, throwing things at eachother in the woods, dealing with the press, elevator mishaps, taking care of eachother while their sick, embarrising eachother at the table, and dealing with bribing daddies. These two go through it all. I'd like to note that all of those things do happen, just not in that particular order.

In this story there are two characters you will probably end up hating (I will not say names, but I will say they are both male and have a lot of power/influence). They both cause conflict in the story, but definetly help a side of Edward we love come out.

Edward goes from an ass to the dream guy, but not in a ridiculous amount of time. It is a gradual change that is more like real life than some of the stories you read. It's actually very interesting to read.

And the thought I'll leave you with: at one point we fear for Bella's life and Edward has a past.


Hehe! Go check out all of the goodness that is Moving to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue here. And hurry up because the sequel, Because I love you, is now in progress!

What We're Reading

Okay, so we're a tad behind on this post. It's at the very end of the month! But the August post has made it in time!


francesb001 (british-bella):

The Blessing and The Curse by The Black Arrow- It's a really really dark story where Edward can hear Bella's thoughts but only if he has physical contact with her, eg holding her hand. The story starts when they are older and tells us all about their childhood together. I didn't like it at first, but I don't think you are supposed to, however, now it is amazing.

Master Of My Heart by BriannaMarley- Again, another dom/sub story but it wasn't what I expected. My friend sent me the link to this one and she said stick with it and I have. It shows you through the exclusive world that Edward lives in as Bella discovers it. Throw in a fire, a wardrobe full of clothes and an exclusive island and you have your story.



My smile is my tears:

Forever My Love by LionLambForever and HeartbreakHaven: This is a very interesting story. It does start out Jasper/Bella, but you guys just need to get over that because it does end up Edward/Bella. I almost want to call it a dom/sub story, but it's really not. I'm doing a sucky job at describing this story and I really don't know how. All I can do is say read it and that the relationships in this story have a lot of depth. (I will be interviewing these two fabulous ladies soon, so maybe they can help you better understand the story.)

The Vampire in the Basement by michellephants: Quite honestly, I don't even know why I'm putting this up here because I'm sure everyone in the fandom has come across it by now. This story is the shit. This is one of the few stories I will print out and put on my bookshelf. The only thing I have to say is don't let anyone know you haven't read it yet.


So as you can tell we haven't really been reading a lot this month. But we have been busy, so just get over. Hopefully in September we will be reading more!
