These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

The domain itself is over 14 years old and serves as the legitimate home for a USA Today bestselling author. However, our research found a massive disconnect between the author's literary presence and the retail operations linked to this brand. Independent review aggregators show a 1.2/5 rating with nearly 100 reports of 'scam' behavior related to clothing orders. Users consistently report receiving poor quality items or nothing at all, followed by a total refusal to issue refunds. Because the site promotes these retail links alongside legitimate books, the overall risk to your wallet is high.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site functions as a professional portfolio for author Emilia Rose, featuring links to Amazon, Goodreads, and various social media platforms. It uses a modern layout with sections for audiobooks, comics, and 'steamy' romance novels.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on a well-known web-building platform and utilizes a valid SSL certificate. While the technical setup is standard for a professional site, the contact information is notably thin, lacking a physical business address or a domain-specific email address.

Domain History

Registered in 2012, the domain has a long history and is not a 'disposable' site. This longevity usually signals trust, but in this case, it appears to be a legitimate platform that has integrated or pivoted toward high-risk retail practices.

Web Reputation

The reputation is deeply polarized. While the author has a verified presence in the publishing world, the 'Emilia Rose' brand is flagged across multiple consumer protection sites. Reports on Reddit and an independent review aggregator describe a pattern of misleading advertising and predatory return policies.
Risk Factors
5
  • Over 90 negative reports on independent review sites citing non-delivery and refund fraud.
  • Extremely low 1.2/5 trust rating from verified consumers.
  • Documented complaints on the BBB Scam Tracker regarding online purchase issues.
  • Lack of a physical business address or professional domain-based email contact.
  • Association with a network of low-quality fashion sites known for 'subscription trap' behavior.
Positive Signals
3
  • Domain has been active for over 14 years.
  • Legitimate links to verified author profiles on Amazon and Goodreads.
  • Clean scan results from our antivirus network and malware engines.
AI Recommendation
You can safely browse the author's book catalog, but do not purchase clothing or merchandise from the linked shop. If you have already placed an order and are facing refund issues, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charges.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked emiliarose.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • emiliarose.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. emiliarose.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR1, expiring in 76 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • emiliarose.com is 14.2 years old, registered on 4/1/2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 24, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around emiliarose.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
