autumnpence 's review for:
Roman
by Samantha Whiskey
I have loved all of Samantha's books equally, but Roman and Teagan's story is probably my favorite so far. I knew in 'Nixon' that these two were beyond made for each other. Just knowing the small backstory of them in that book, you knew they are the definition of soulmates. This book just justifies that thought.
Samantha also did a beyond amazing job describing what victims/survivors like Teagan go through, especially on a psychological level. People can see the physical wounds, but it's the emotional/psychological ones that no one can or will ever see. The fight that Teagan constantly has with herself just shows the constant fight that those in abusive relationships go through, even if they've been able to physically leave the person who is hurting them.
Though the book is titled 'Roman' really this is Teagan's story. Don't get me wrong, Roman did an amazing job of simply being there for Teagan when she needed him most and showing her what real love trully looks like. This is still her story. It's a story of surviving and learning to trust yourself not to get lost in what others think of you, but what you think of yourself.
