Book Description
DEA Jason Walker became a widower at Twenty-eight. Two years later he’s still torturing himself with guilt. They’d married young, and she’d been his first love, but her illness changed everything. They’d fought a losing battle and he’d held her to the very end. Now he just wants to be left alone with his misery and memories.
Mercy James is no stranger to grief and loneliness. Her brother’s death of a drug overdose, and her police officer father’s death in the line of duty were the driving forces behind her pursuit of a career in the DEA. In spite of—or maybe because of—her past, Mercy doesn’t believe in feeling sorry for others, or for herself.
When a case brings Jason and Mercy together, and their attraction heats up, can her tough, straightforwardness help Jason learn to live in the light again? He’d lost his first love, but is he ready for a forever love?

My Book Review
RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars
FINDING MERCY (The Next Generation Series Book #3) by Riley Edwards is her new romantic suspense in the Next Generation Series. This generation of brothers, sisters and cousins are all a close extended family who serve in a variety of ways and in each book they meet their perfect match. This story is especially emotional and leans more to the romance of the story than the suspense. It can be read as a standalone because the crossover family characters are easily explained by the author.
DEA Agent Jason Walker married his first young love. He was faithfully by her side through her battle with cancer, but it changed their relationship. When the cancer returned, he refused to leave her side and held her until she died. For two long years, he has pushed his family away and wallowed in his self loathing, memories and misery.
DEA Agent Mercy James knows what it is like to grieve and be alone. Her mother died while giving her birth, her brother died of a drug overdose and her father died avenging his son’s death. Even with her loss, Mercy works to keep an upbeat attitude and moves always forward with her career and life. She also recognizes the sadness in Jason’s eyes.
When Jason and Mercy are partnered together on a case, sparks begin to fly. Mercy is straight-forward and a breath of fresh air in the self-imposed isolation Jason has surrounded himself in. He cannot resist her and her love of life. After having lost his first love, can Jason move forward to claim the forever love that Mercy is offering him?
This story had me emotionally wrapped up in Jason’s past and present. Ms. Edwards’ writing was so authentic in regards to how we can become so caught up in an emotional loop in our heads and how we need family, friends, whomever to sometimes help us find a way out. Mercy is a strong heroine which I always enjoy reading about. The sex scenes are explicit, but not gratuitous to the story. The suspense subplot in this book took a backseat to the romance, but it was a page turner especially at the end and it did tie into hopefully the next book in this series.
I can highly recommend this book and the whole series for a great romantic suspense read!
