Battered Roses

by Christina Rozeline

Rosaleen thought she’d have a perfect life, but she married a monster.

She longs for a family and a picturesque white-picket-fence life, but no child deserves a battered mother or the sickly-sweet lies after a beating.

When Todd, her abusive husband, finds out that she’s secretly taking birth control, Rosaleen finally realizes she must escape to survive.

Leaving won’t come easy. Everywhere she goes, Todd follows. If he can’t have her, no one will.

Is Rosaleen willing to do whatever it takes to escape Todd and take back her freedom?

[What is Paige reading?]

I couldn’t wait to read this novel, knowing it was the author’s debut. The narrative effortlessly weaved suspense throughout, making it impossible for me to set aside. It’s a captivating read, and I found myself devouring it in a mere six hours. Needless to say, my anticipation for her next book is sky-high.

Couldn't put it down

This book shows you the point of view from the abused how hard they are on their shelves and it also tells the story of her crazy husband!! Couldn't put it down it is so good!!!

[Claire Steigerwald]

I really liked this book! The writing kept me coming back. I really appreciated the layers and the exploration of several different themes. The one thing I did not love was that I feel like there was a loose end not tied up. Someone coming to say that Todd‘s family reported him missing never really had a conclusion.

OMG I couldn’t put this book down! I don’t even like reading and I was hooked from the first page!
I cannot wait for the next book.

Best book I have ever read. You do not want to put it down. Definitely shows a side that most people don't understand unless they went through it. You will not regret it. Run and get yours now!

This book sucked. Don’t know why the reviews are so good. Had to force myself to finish and skipped like 5 chapters don’t recommend
