Battered Roses
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?

April 25, 2024I 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.

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!
