Although I already posted this on the GoodReads Fan Fic Addicts group site, I wanted to post this for the public.
Son of a Preacher Man by LaViePastiche
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5058174/1/Son_of_a_Preacher_Man
The wild son of a famous televangelist, Jasper likes to love ‘em and leave ‘em. Will he meet his match in Bella, who’s in love with his sister’s boyfriend Edward? And what happens when Edward finally notices her?
This author usually writes Bella & Jasper pairings, but she changed things up in "Son of a Preacher Man". What starts as a Bella & Jasper pairing ends up with a great Bella & Edward HEA. While we get povs from Edward, Bella and Jasper, I LOVED the character developments of Jasper and Bella.
Bella, in love with the totally oblivious Edward who is dating Rosalie, finds herself in a quandary when 22 year old bad boy Jasper wants to add Bella to the numerous notches on his cherry popping bedpost. To her surprise, she ends up falling for him and to his shock (and denial), Jasper treats her as more than the usual teenaged virgin he preys upon. But it's Jasper's attention to Bella that sweeps away the apathetic fog Edward's been living in since he moved to Arizona and actually notices Bella. While Edward's realizing his feelings for Bella, Jasper and Bella are getting closer until Jasper can't take his feelings for Bella and pushes her away.
I liked Edward, but I LOVED Jasper and Bella in this story. They both grow and mature so much with each other and without each other. By the end, I was so happy for Bella and Edward, but I was grinning at the end with Jasper's pov ending the story.
I can't say enough about this story. The author did a fantastic job of delineating Bella, Jasper and Edward so you really come to understand them and the choices (stupid or not) they make. There is a dark theme around secondary characters that is touched upon and it becomes more and more obvious as you read each chapter.
HEA all around
No cheating.
Great characters
Good story
**warning: there are lemons between Jasper and Bella when they are together**
Enjoy!
