Review: Tender Mercies

Tender Mercies by Kitty Thomas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This book was awesome. I'm really beginning to appreciate Kitty Thomas although I'm a bit that I'm reading her books so much. She talks about things that others don't dare to discuss in books. She crosses the line but it's a good line. Not exactly good but realistic... This is some individuals thing.

I liked the way the characters developed. I felt that Grace was extremely stupid and naive to agree to this island agreement with someone whom she'd never met. I couldn't believe she really went through with it. And then she was shocked when it wasn't what she thought it would be. Honestly, seeing how naive she was, I understand why she turned into the perfect submissive. I'm glad that Asher realized the wrongs that he'd done in the past and was trying to make up for it. They way that the characters grew and changed made me enjoy this story all the more. If there was no change and they stayed on a horribly destructive path, I might not have enjoyed it and I'm not sure if I'd have even finished it. If it hadn't been for Grace's ridiculousness, I may have enjoyed this book more and given it 5 stars instead of 4.

I'm surprised that I'm reading books of this nature and this genre but for some reason Kitty Thomas's writing now appeals to me. Currently I'm reading "The Last Girl" so we'll see how this goes.
