When enigmatic stranger Jaron Conrad turns up talking of a cure, Grace accuses him of being a crackpot and a quack. But could there be a possibility that he's telling the truth, and if he is, does Grace have the courage to take a chance on him? The courage to pay the price, even if it costs her heart?
Grace: Tuesdays Child Reviews
-
Tuesday's Child--Grace is a novella length story that surprised me with just how well-rounded it was. At just over 60 pages, I was prepared for a good story, but for it to feel rushed as I normally feel with short stories. Carter however manages to balance the sexy tone of the book with characters who grow.
Grace grows the most, but she was the focus of the story, the one who needed to become comfortable with herself again, so that's understandable. Between the horrific accident that took the only way of life she ever wanted and her nasty cousin-companion, Grace had a lot to deal with. She trucked on though, refusing to let her misery over her fate keep her from enjoying what she could while watching the ballet.
Jaron ran hot and cold for me. Sometimes he showed a lot of depth--understanding when the right moment was to approach Grace, taking the long road to winning her over instead of instant gratification, while other times he seemed really dense. I'm not sure how long he thought he could carry on with Grace in the manner he was, or what would happened to Grace when he left (since he refused to contest the other option), but his rationale was contradictory at best.
The end came as a surprise (or the timing of it at least), but I completely believed it. There was plenty of evidence to back it up throughout the story. And the very last paragraphs? Justice is sweet. -
For a story just under 70 pages, I truthfully was not as prepared to enjoy this book as much as I did. Mina Carter has a way of surprising me with her characters, and this story was no exception. Grace was a ballerina before a horrendous car accident left her crippled in body but not in spirit. Her friendship with the mysterious Jaron promises her salvation in the form of walking and dancing again, but at what price to her?

LOVED IT!
It was great, I finished the book in one sitting. Loved the plot. It was different than your normal vampire romance. I look forward to reading more books from the author!
