Oh, Hear the Angel Voices! by Jasper1863Hale

Oh, Hear the Angel Voices! by Jasper1863Hale

When Jasper is unexpectedly asked to fill in for a musician during a Christmas church service, he very reluctantly agrees. He wants to shake things up a little and show his fellow performers, especially a handsome piano player, that new and different doesn't have to be scary. 

I don't want to give away too much of the plot of this one shot, but I can tell you that I was 100% moved by the end. The overall message is very poignant and applicable to all our lives, but I also enjoyed the sweet love story between Jasper and Edward. They both carry a lot of baggage in their lives, but they manage to find happiness and contentment with each other.

Please check out this beautiful story! You won't be disappointed!

The Thing about Falling by mistyhaze420


The Thing about Falling by mistyhaze420

Wonderful and fabulous Brady is looking for love. He's watched his good friends, Jasper and Edward, fall in love and longs to have someone special to call his own. When he and his friends travel to Texas to visit Jasper's relatives, Brady lays eyes on Jasper's mysterious and dangerous cousin, Brandon, and he's instantly smitten. Having just been released from prison, Brandon wants to stay on the straight and narrow, but small-town, small-minded people (as well as the stigma attached to the Whitlock name) continue to test his patience. He just wants to live his life and get through probation. However, when a feisty and adorable young man waltzes into his life, Brandon thinks that maybe, for once, he can have something good in his difficult and trying life.

Much like mistyhaze's story, Lessons Learned, The Thing about Falling is an epic tale that will immediately have you addicted. Brady has to be one of the best characters in fanfiction, period, and Brandon (imagine Charlie Hunnam from SoA)....lordy, lordy, lordy! Hot, masculine and rough around the edges, he's the type of man who will pick you up, carry you to the bed and then throw you down on it before he ravishes you. *swoon*

Definitely check out this awesome story! You will be so happy you did! :D

After spending Christmas away from his family and the love of his life, Edward, Jasper is more determined than ever to reunite with them, ring in the New Year and be there for his twin as she gives birth.

This is a quick and fluffy read that will definitely bring a smile to your face. Jasper and Edward are adorable and the side story involving Rosalie giving birth is touching and heartwarming.

Book Review: Kale's Spirit by Jackie Nacht

This is a cute story about a young man who is saved by a group of people after being brutally beaten by bullies in the woods. Two of his rescuers, Hunt and Volk, feels a strong connection and attraction to him. Through his recuperation, he develops strong feelings for both of them, but realizes he has to choose one once and for all.

A quick and easy read, Kale's Spirit, surprised me in a couple of ways. First, I did not expect the paranormal/spiritual aspect with the wolves. This isn't an shape shifter story, but many of the characters have a very strong spiritual bond with their wolf counterparts. Secondly, I really liked the fact that the reader could choose his/her own ending. I liked being able to pick the ending I would prefer and experienced nostalgia as I remembered reading "choose your own adventure" books as a child.

I was very happy with the ending I chose, but my curiosity got the best of me and I read both endings. I felt the ending I chose (with Hunt being chosen) (highlight text to view spoiler) was much stronger than the other and just made more sense overall.

I felt the two sex scenes (one for each ending) were a little lackluster and glossed over. The scene with Hunt and Kale seemed a little more detailed than the one with Volt and Kale, but as I said before, I preferred that ending as a whole. It would have been nice to feel more of the passion between the characters, but I understand they were experiencing first love and fumbled their way through their firsts.

Rainbows and Storm Clouds by alexajaye


Married couple, Carlisle and Edward, are faced with tragedy when Carlisle's sister and brother-in-law are killed in a car accident. On her deathbed, Rosalie asks Carlisle to take over the care of her daughters because she knows he and Edward will provide the life she wants them to have. He accepts without question, but nothing can ever be that easy. Carlisle's father and his homophobic brother, Jasper, are determined to stop the adoption at all costs...even to the point of calling Edward's abusive and psychotic ex, James, to help.

I stumbled upon this story while doing a search and I'm so glad I did! This story has so many twists and turns that you'll stay on the edge of your seat! It has a good mix of sweet, fluffly romance, angst, drama and suspense. I will warn you that Jasper is extremely OOC, but his character and storyline really give the story some extra umph! Be prepared to have your emotions go on a roller coaster ride in this intense and gripping tale. I highly recommend!

Driven to Distraction by AbstractSong101

Driven to Distraction by AbstractSong101

Carlisle works for a driving service in London. When a handsome and mysterious client catches his eye and stirs up some unprofessional feelings, Carlisle embarks on a journey he never intended to experience. Edward is used to people listening to him and jumping exactly when he tells them to. When his driver makes him experience feelings he's never felt, he wonders what could be wrong with him. Will Carlisle and Edward be able to overcome obstacles and their fears or will they be stuck in limbo?

Edward and Carlisle! Yum! The sexual tension between these two is through the roof! Edward is definitely the guy you love to hate with his arrogance, complaints and demands, but he also has a vulnerable side that is quite endearing. Carlisle, on the other hand, is a great guy who is far from perfect, but possesses the patience of a man willing to do whatever it takes to find love. I don't know why it's taken me so long to sit down and read this fic, but I'm so glad I did!

Rescue Me by KellanCougar

Rescue Me by KellanCougar

When Jasper's car breaks down on a deserted road, he never dreamt his rescuer would give him an experience, both sexually and emotionally, he'd never forget.

Talk about a HOT story! *fans self* Emmett and Jasper literally sizzle as they succumb to their intense attraction for one another in this incredible one shot that was expanded into a WIP. However, don't let the panty-melting sex scenes fool you into believing this is a PWP story. Both characters also show their vulnerable sides as they try to make sense of their developing feelings and overcome the distance that separates them.

Definitely check this story out!
