Breaking Dawn

Bella and Edward get married and go on their honeymoon on Edward's 'mother's' island as Jacob runs away because of the pain he feels for losing Bella. The two explore their love and consummate their marriage only to discover how fragile Bella's body is and how strong Edward can be during such gentle and tender moments. Bella becomes pregnant and the family is intrigued and shocked at how a vampire baby affects a human body. During childbirth, Bella comes to near death and Edward is forced to change her into a vampire by biting her and injecting a needle of his venom into her heart. Bella then begins to discover her role as a new mother and a vampire and she is trained for battle by learning to control her shielding powers. The Volturi come to take Bella and Edward's baby (an immortal child) and a battle ensues between the Volturi, the Cullens, werewolves, and other ancient vampires. During the battle, Bella shields the family from anything the others do and no one can penetrate her shield. The Volturi leave and the Cullens are left in peace because they were able to prove the Cullens family did not turn the baby into a vampire - she was born that way.

The lovemaking is highly understated as the reader is left to infer what happens between Bella and Edward. The characters are in an amazingly well put together plot and the reader will have a hard time putting this book down!
