!REVIEWS! 

"Ok honestly this was one of the more unexpected depictions of Italian family and foreign girl stories and I must say I've enjoyed it so far. With a potential Arlo spin-off in the works (I'm hoping) this might be a really fun read. One that you cherish for a long time due to the strong feeling of brotherhood mixed with the nail biting drama and excitement. Can't wait for the updates 💜🤟🏻" - @Gauravaaditya

"A lily amongst roses is one of the best stories I've ever read. The characters are not just realistic, but loveable. The writing is absolutely beautiful, depicting ever emotion perfectly, and giving every character a unique voice. At the end of every chapter I'm always left wanting more. You won't ever want to put this book down. I'm so glad to have been here through a long part of this books journey, and I can't wait to see it flourish even more. " - @im_her_roseAll Rights Reserved

Care to Command by TheBluntWeirdo

Office enemies fight for the same promotion, while resisting their growing chemistry. LAYLA masks her insecurities behind perfectionism. The goofy girl who loved flowers and cooking for her parents is now a workaholic and out of touch with herself. All she's able to focus on is to get promoted so that she has a chance to feel confident and earn her dad's long-awaited approval. LUCAS hides a heavy burden with charm and nonchalance. The boy who used to be nurturing and open now pretends to joke around without a care. What he doesn't share is that he might want that promotion to fulfill his own voids just like her. One thing leads to another, and the two find themselves in unprofessional settings where their masks slowly come off, showing how similar they are, and just how much they might need each other. "Loved this story. It had everything that makes a story amazing. Fuming hot chemistry. Believable flawed characters that changed and matured through chapters. " - loriblu2000 "This was just the kind of story I've been looking for. So cute and also realistic. I adored the characters and their banters sooo much." - draama__queen "I absolutely adore Layla and Lucas and and they are characterized so beautifully that it's almost impossible for them not to become instant favorites." - Wisal13 "I LOVE Layla's strong character, the strong female lead because it's literally so rare, especially on Wattpad, and I loved that the male lead, not once tried to show how MANLY he is and exert his power because of his insecurities, like in most books." - maddylewis998 "This book made me laugh , cry and did some other things too hehe.. This is one of the best rom-com books I've ever read I have to re-read again.. Lots of love" - jamsniee "Sooo I started reading this at 1am and finished at 10:30 am... and it was so fking worth it! " - cassie2736

Family Comes First by CRAZY40429

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes. I have given a warning now, and I will give a TW in each chapter when reading for safety reasons.

His Rose by kaliyah_j

Fair warning. This book is all over the place and i don't have the time or energy to fix it. if there are dumb mistakes, just comment and i'll try to fix it when i can. ~~~ Rose Martinez & her best friend Maia go to a club one day. There, Rose meets Alessandro Bianchi. A cold, murderous and ruthless Mafia Don. But for some reason, he has a soft spot for Rose. A soft spot for... Rose. A girl he barely knows but seemingly wants to change it all for. Will he keep her safe? Is he really just a big scary mafia man? (This contains, awfully written, smut, some trigger warnings are put at the top of any part in the story that may need them, you have been warned!) Tbh this is one of my first ever stories so the plot is probably horrid and just awfully written so bear with me, or don't.... It's just a hot ass mess so- 40,824 words in total (minus announcements and the welcome) it moves fast. lol. ••• -Highest rankings- #1 in italian #1 in smexy #11 in mafia #9 in romance ✨😼😼😼

Don't Leave Me by uffthatshot

"Stand up.", he said to me. "What?", I asked confused. "STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive. I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Take off your underwear.", he demanded. "Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent. "Good girl", he whispered in my ear. ------------------- Emily Potters, a 21 year old girl, had to run away from her dark past. Seeking shelter in New York, she battled her way through the darkness.
