Almost Doesn't Count by Mrs. Robward

 This review is written by ssherrill115.  From now on, at the beginning of every review, I will announce who wrote it.  I have acquired 3 wonderful ladies that will be helping me write reviews for Southern Fan Fiction review.  I am so proud of them and love them very much:  Snshyne, 107yearoldvirgin, and MeadowC. 

Now - let's see how Mrs. Robward describes one of my NEW Most FAVORITE Fics:   Bella is a family attorney & Edward seeks her help. Friendship abounds, maybe more? AH OOC Rated M b/c they are adults & will do adult things! Canon Couples.  Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Friendship - Chapters: 11 - Words: 67,271 - Reviews: 573 - Updated: 1-20-10 - Published: 10-12-09

The first thing that I can tell you is that Mrs. Robward's description of this story does not begin to do it justice.  Bella in this one is a Family Practice lawyer.  She assists families with adoptions.  She basically is an advocate for the child during the adoption process.  She is beautiful, smart, and compassionate  - she is the best that Jasper's law firm has to offer.  It's not called "Jasper's law firm" but I wanted to somehow let you know that Jasper is her boss. 
 
Edward is a Doctor in this story - (Mmmmmmm Paging Dr. Edward - oh sorry lost my head for a minute).  We in the Fan Fiction world seem to love Edward as a Doctor, even though he was never a doctor in the actual stories.  There is nothing hotter than thinking of Edward giving you a physical.  LOL.  In this story, Edward the doctor works for a company called "Partners in Health".  He travels around the world helping under-privileged families receive the medical care they so desperately need.  Edward has fallen in LOVE with an orphaned little boy in Russia and he wants to adopt him.  So guess what he needs......Right, a Family Practice Lawyer.  Can you guess who his friend Jasper will suggest helps Edward with his adoption???  I think you can. 
 
There are many layers to this story.  I don't want to give the whole thing away; I want you to read it.  But I need for you to know that NO OTHER fan fiction story has ever evoked the type of emotion in me that this story has.  Almost Doesn't Count is written beautifully.  I've never experienced crying before I realized it, just by reading a story.  Something as simple as two women meeting for the first time is told so beautifully it brought me to actual tears.  The love and the compassion in this story is moving and compelling and I can promise you , that if you give this story a chance - you won't be disappointed.  Now, I don't want you to think this is just a simple tear jerker, because it's not.  There is some really thick UST (unresolved sexual tension) thrown in there too to keep you wanting More, more, more....
 
Give Mrs. Robward a chance.  I know that you are going to love her, and Almost Doesn't Count as much as I do!!!

  10. Very interesting with Bella as a lawyer-not many of those out there-will add to my list to read. Thanks for the tear/tissue warning. There are very few of those that can invoke the tear factor.

  13. Um, WOW!

    I don't know where to start. ::after wiping my tears away::

    I. AM. NOT. WORTHY.

    Second Sandy, you made my week, -no my YEAR! I appreciate you reviewing ADC so much. I am sooo insecure & everytime I post a chapter I chew off all my fingernails awaiting to get laughed out of the fandom. So to know that u like it enough to reviews warm my lil heart.

    All I can tell you ladies, is that you are in for a well....surprise? The next chapter is ALMOST done =]

    Please read & review.

    Stacy

  15. All I have to say is, this fic RULES! :P
    Stacy's story, well, it's one of the most heartwarming fic ever. I don't know why, probably because of Ethan.. He's adorable! :P Oh, yeah, and because Edward is DILF.. Or BILF (Brother I'd love to.. yeah) Stacy, you do deserve the rec'c!!! :) Can't wait for the next update! A great review!!! Thanks
