REC: You Redeem Me by ANHanninen


Find her on Twitter @ANHanninen

Summary:
Dr. Carlisle Cullen moves from the big city to Forks as a favor to
his best friend, Edward. Though he misses his old life, can the presence of
Edward's sister, Esme, in his new life make him a new man?

I believe there are great stories that's aren't Edward and Bella, and I like to think this may be one of them. I hope people read and enjoy. This story will keep you on your toes, make you smile, laugh, and possibly get a little teary-eyed.



Thank you @ANHanninen for the rec!

REC: Feral Blood by Blood Of Your Lips


Find her on Twitter @BloodOfYourLips

Summary:
Bella learns that Carlisle is her mate, and she helps him accept his feral nature, giving him the gift of her blood. Carlisle/Bella love story that follows their intense mating, leadership of the Cullen Clan and the struggles they face as Alphas. This is a powerful and unique look at vampire mating and love from Bella's POV.

For the first time ever, I started following a story that was an OCC pairing. Horrors upon horrors, me? I am a Twilight purist. If it is not Edward and Bella, I am not interested. And I am sure there are a great many wonderful OCC pairing stories, they just aren't for me. Not my thing.
To my surprise and shock, I liked the first chapter. Though skeptical how the author was going to segue way Edward and Esme both out and still make the story line realistic. As I read on, the story unfolded in to a very believable situation, it made sense and was very realistic that I believed what was going on and how it happened. I was astonished that the author had me, made me believe and understand how she segued way out not one main character but two, and this was only chap 1. All the while not making the storyline absurd, let alone Bella looking immature and foolish, hence the Twilight Triangle, I never bought in to the whole triangle SM tried to get us to believe.  
Aside from the fact, the basis of her summary, a feral relationship. That had me most intrigued. For those who do not understand feral, a feral organism is one that has changed from being domesticated to being wild or untamed. Perfect analogy for a vampire. They are animistic in nature. I am on board.
Sadly, the story has been given the boot on FF, but the author has started her own story blog so we can all continue enjoying her story.
Really looking forward to more of this series.
