“A compelling family drama of heartache, murder and mystery.” ~New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross

From New York Times and USAToday Bestselling romance author Jean Brashear Days away from release from Attica after serving twenty years to guard a secret, Lucas Walker discovers that he’s news again. The story once shocked the world: the son of renowned Shakespearean actor Martin Gerard, murdered while defending his twin sister Tansy from assault by Lucas Walker, the juvenile delinquent once taken under the wing of Gerard’s wife Juliette. Gerard’s triumphant return to the stage after a ten-year absence brings the old case to light. When Tansy is kidnapped, Lucas can’t leave New York as he’d planned, no matter how badly he wants to—not until he lives up to a promise to her dying mother to protect her. Lucas goes after her, risking imprisonment once more to face the person responsible for the night that forever altered all their lives. “Jean Brashear’s unique writing style gifts readers with marvelous love stories filled to the brim with high drama, full-bodied characters and heated sensuality.” ~Romantic Times

There are many adjectives that describe Ms. Brashear's writing, but in a word, Mercy is brilliant. Filled to the brim with such sensitivity, poignancy and passion, it leaves us in awe as we turn the pages. I don't believe authors should ever get pigeon-holed in a specific genre and when they write from their heart, their stories will always be treasures, no matter what.

Lucas Walker and Tansy Gerard had an exquisite love and friendship, that was destroyed in a heartbeat, when Lucas was charged with killing Tansy's twin brother. After serving 20 years, Lucas is days away from his release. When he learns that Tansy is going to be married to her father's friend and business associate, he realizes that he must find a way to keep that from happening.

This complex book, as far as I'm concerned, deserves the highest accolades for its unusual plot and fascinating characters. I fell in love with Lucas for his breathtaking substance and spirit and Tansy for her heart-wrenching vulnerabilities. Reading Mercy will restore your faith, if ever you lost it. Please read this extraordinary book! If I could give it 20+++ stars, I would.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mercy, a mystery, and heartbreak.
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019

This one is a heartbreaker. A man lost twenty years in prison for something he didn’t do. A woman—a girl really—lost to silence and a world of her own making for those same twenty years as a victim of rape and so much more. The insidious perpetrator got off scott free by lies and deceit for those same two decades. In the process a young man’s life was taken from him by accident in a heinous way. So many people lost so much. Ms. Brashear wrote a stunning novel that stirs the heart and mind. One you will long remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking mystery and romance
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017

"Mercy" is an exciting and well-written story that threatened to take my breath away too many times for me to count. Mystery romance is not my favorite genre, but redemption of tortured souls is, and the characters in "Mercy" have all suffered too long at the hands of those who held their tender young lives captive. There were a few too many explicit sex scenes for my taste, and I skipped past them as quickly as I could, but I would really appreciate knowing the book contained such, what I consider unnecessary, explicit detail before purchasing it.

This book challenged my brain a bit. I enjoyed it, but it switched characters more often than I'm used to and I would have to backtrack a little at times to figure out which character it was. Still a good story and I liked it.

This was an emotional read for me at times, but it was so worth reading. I absolutely love Lucas and the sacrifice he made for the woman he loves. This book is not just about Tansy and Lucas though. We also learn about Mona and Kat and their lives. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a romance that's unlike any other.

Did not know what to expect from this story. It is different from Jean's other books. This is more raw. At first it seems this is a story about Lucas and why he was in jail, but it is so much more. This is a story about a family, dysfunctional it may be. If I say any more I will give everything away. Mercy is a must read.

Who deserves the mercy, the one who did the deed, the one who was charged with the deed, the one who ignored the signs, or the one who instigated it? This is an interesting book and it doesn’t slow down. I recommend it for those who want to know the why of the story.
