Eight Days a Week by 107yearoldvirgin


This is how 107yearoldvirgin describes Eight Days a Week: Bella Swan needs a Nanny. Edward Cullen needs a job. Accepting the Manny position will change his life forever...and may just help him grow up in the process. Snark, humor, lemons and Edward in a towel. Seduction has never been so juvenile. AH/AU Rated M Humor/Romance


OK OK OK I know - I just did a review about a Nanny and now I'm doing a review about a Manny. But the stories are totally different and I am reviewing what I am reading, sooooo that's what you get. I had not planned on reviewing this story for a while. I wanted to let it get a little further in before I reviewed it (it only has 7 chapters written). And I know that if you have been following this blog for a while, you know that I review all of 107yearoldvirgin's stories. (That's because she is so AWESOME and no body makes me laugh like she does.) But this story is so good, I can't hold onto it any longer. When I read the update last night I was in tears laughing so I am giving it to you today as my gift to you - just a little late for Christmas - LOL.


Edward is a Fuck up for lack of a better term. He is basically living his life doing everything wrong. He has used up all his chances and he needs a job like pronto. Bella is an ultra conservative business woman, and Alice's boss. Alice is Edward's sister in this fic per usual. And Bella needs a Nanny like yesterday. She desperately posts an add on Craig's list and guess who sees it? I'm thinking you already know. Bella hires this dude without any background check or anything (shame on Bella). If you are going to hire someone to watch your kids and a good looking British guy shows up, even though you want to bump uglies with him, please do a background check first. Fortunately for Bella, Edward has a heart of gold and he falls head over heels for these kids. Will he fall head over heels for Bella??? I guess you will just have to read it and find out.


107yearoldvirgin has a gift. She can make me laugh like no other writer on the face of the planet. She has the ability to write about some very serious, and sometimes dark, issues and still bring out the humor in our everyday lives. When you are reading her stories you feel like the characters are real live people - because her characters have bad breath, they burp, they even have gas - and 107yearoldvirgin capitalizes on all these human traits to make you laugh at things you might do yourself all while telling you a story and making you feel like the characters are friends of yours. It is a true talent that she possesses and if you haven't read any of her stories, I suggest that you start today. Eight Days a Week is a light hearted story about a guy that turns a hodge podge group of people into a real live family. It is heartwarming and so much fun to read. I think you will enjoy it as much as I do.

107yearoldvirgin also has a blog that I follow myself:  http://www.107yearoldvirgin.blogspot.com/


Trust me on this one, you are going to enjoy her stories.  She has written a bunch of them.  If this one doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then try one of the many she has on her profile page.  I know you are going to love her.  Thank you for taking the time to read Southern Fan Fiction Review.  Please leave me a comment.  Because you know it makes me happy....

I think I can start this now. Only 7 chapters in!! I need to add a bit of fluff to my repertoire. Edward as a Manny sounds interesting. I don't really like kid fics. But I like funny. Funny is good. Great review Sandy!!

I LOVE LOVE 107YOV stories...always has something to make you say "yeah, that is just like (insert name here)" This one is no exception, funny, warm and a little drama. Now, if you haven't read Progress I suggest you do that as soon as you can...totally hysterical but loving (I laugh just thinking about it)

So, as this rec said...you can't go wrong with this author. She is always right on!!!
