{EDITORS' CHOICE} {MAFIA ROMANCE} New York, 1954. Pamela Kelly gets an exciting job as a salesgirl. But there is a dark side to the glittering lights and fashions of New York City, complete with corruption, threats and La Cosa Nostra: an intricate and organized crime system run by the Italian American mafia. Suddenly, Pamela discovers herself in a world she barely knew existed, and worse still, her life becomes lethally intertwined with some of the most powerful mobsters in New York City. Pamela must fight her growing feelings for a particular charming mobster, as she challenges her ideas of what justice and love really are. Carlotta Mancini had a deceivingly happy childhood. Upon discovering her father is the most powerful mob boss in Brooklyn, her life changes dramatically. She finds herself profoundly disturbed by the violence surrounding her and yet cannot escape without risking her own life. What will happen when she attempts to run away with Tony Bellucci, one of her father's junior soldiers, and a man who is strictly off limits to her? Follow these women as they attempt to fight one of the greatest injustices of their time.

{WATTYS 2020 WINNER} {FEATURED BOOK} Paris, 1663. 500 girls selected by King Louis XIV embark on a journey across the seas from their homeland. Each is given a dowry, and the expectation that they are to marry a French settler, in order to increase the population of New France. They are the historic Daughters of the King, or "les filles du roi." Eighteen-year-old Celeste Dubois is a free-spirited, educated and headstrong girl. She comes from a wealthy Parisian family that has squandered their money and is subsequently forced to journey to New France. However, Celeste doesn't plan on marrying a complete stranger. She hopes to use the dowry and the free voyage as a way to escape the poverty and social ranks of Paris. Matters are complicated when against her will, she falls in love. Romantic, kind and stunningly beautiful Lorraine Leblanc is a girl from a large family with children to spare. Unlike Celeste, she happily dreams of the day she will meet her future husband in New France. When she marries a mysterious widower with two young children of his own and still reeling after his broken heart, she realizes that married life isn't all she had hoped it would be, and begins to question her new husband's complicated past. - Wattpad Picks Blast to the Future Past list 2018 - The 50 Best Wattpad Stories of 2018/19 by Design Wizard - 2018 Youngblood Awards Winner (Romance) - 2018 True North Awards 2nd place for Historical Fiction and 2nd place Truly Canadian special category award - Featured by Wattpad Historical Fiction profile under Kings, Courtships and Empires, Young Adult Fiction profile under Love, Actually and Romance profile under Time will Tell *Please be aware that since this book covers the colonial period, it does contain sensitive themes of racism and violence that readers will find disturbing.

Granted, he was kind of a jerk and if he ever tried to kiss Eli again he was definitely getting punched.

For every Wattpader, the first book you read here is the best, the most memorable. The book you will probably read more than once and the book that will get you hooked on this site. But you don't know how to find the right one? Or the selection that everyone seems to be talking about? Here i've put books recommended by me and the Wattpad community, that can keep you entertained for hours (possibly until 3am) laughing, crying, shrieking and fangirling. These are a bundle of romance, *fan fiction, teen fiction and humour! *The fan fictions I put here are One Direction, Dolan Twins and 5 Seconds of Summer. I also feature Alternate Universe (AU) stories, so basically where they aren't famous. Amount of reads and votes were correct at the time written. -Thanks to @AnnaNoel for the book cover!-
