Tuesday Knowls is done. Once burned, twice shy. Twice burned? Game over. On the outside Tuesday has it all. She comes from money, she’s a beautiful runway model, her smile comes easy, and she’s quick to laugh. But looks can be deceiving. Inside, she’s lost and lonely. So when the smokin’ hot firefighter swoops in with his sweet talk and promises, she decides to be the one who uses, for once.… once.
Jackson Clark is a man who knows what he wants. And he wants Tuesday. He sees past the beautiful façade she shows the world straight to the pain she hides. When Tuesday offers him a friends with benefits arrangement—minus the friendship—he has no choice but to accept her offer. He’s willing to do anything to get close to the elusive woman and show her he’s worth the risk.
When Tuesday starts getting presents from a secret admirer, she goes into a tailspin. She’s been down this ugly road before and she knows how it can destroy her life.
Can she really trust that Jackson is the good guy in this mess? And, if he is, will she realize in time that not only will he protect her heart, but he might just save her life?

I just finished reading this book from Riley Edwards and it was awesome! I love her characters and the story was captivating. It was great from beginning to end! I loved the dynamic between the characters and I can’t wait to read more in this series!
Oh Hotness and Sweetness!
This one will make you feel–everything! Tuesday is in more trouble than she dreams possible and when it escalates, she can’t help but finally open her heart to Jackson, who has had her in his sights for a while now, because he knows she’s just right for him. Unfortunately no one sent her that same memo, so there are issues on that front, lol.
Their chemistry was wild and makes for some excellent heated reading.
The drama, along with the action, will take over your mind and not let up until the happy sigh end.
Ms. Edward’s books are the ones that make you take a deep breath back to real life.
I received an ARC from the author and am giving my honest thoughts voluntarily
The thing I love most about this love story is it isn’t just a love story. He knew what he wanted and he was determined to break through the fortress of her heart to get to her. She had no real reason to trust anyone betrayal was at every door and she had paid a the price 100 fold. This author brings us too people that no matter what you can’t help but love. Can’t help but feel every harsh word every attack. Yeah it’s an emotional read however the author doesn’t stop there she has plenty of twist and turns in store for you. She will capture your attention from the first to the last. Her characters will draw you in and share their pain and triumphs. It’s a beautiful story with passion and well written. This next generation is proving to be a great group to get to know.
I have loved every book this author has written!!!!
Great story that fits right into the Next Generation series. Though every now and then it is a little like bei bubble gum reading, but every twist and turn is needed for the final conclusion. Tuesday literally doesn’t have any family but her Nana even though her parents are still around. Jackson has a huge family with uncles and cousins etc. So with the two of them, their worlds collide. Great story
Jackson and Tuesday
Claiming Tuesday is book four in the next generation series and it was absolutely fabulous. Action packed with suspense, drama and more
Gearing myself up for Delaney’s story next as I know it’s going to be a tear jerker
There’s a old song titled “Just One Look” and that perfectly describes how long it took for Jackson to fall for Tuesday. Unfortunately, she didn’t get the memo. She threw up walls that were so high and wide that breaching them was darn near impossible. Luckily, Jackson is one tenacious guy who doesn’t take “not happening” as an answer. There’s lots of steamy romance, drama, suspense and some danger thrown into this book. Thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.
This is a really great read. Jackson wants Tuesday and what Jackson wants…Jackson gets. Tuesday is a model and all kinds of messed up. Firefighter Jackson doesn’t care. He’s up for the challenge. This book also has a stalker, a nasty mother, a weak father, a loving and fun grandmother, Jackson’s alpha male relatives and really hot hot chemistry between these two.
Tuesday was misunderstood. This was my view of her. She was wealthy, famous, and beautiful. She was more than the trappings around her. She wanted more. She believes no one will see past all she appears to be. That was until Jacksoon Clark comes on the scene. Giving him a chance was not a top priority for her. Watching Jackson and Tuesday become more than just friends with benefits.
I enjoy turning each page. I enjoyed the characters, the setting, the community, and the writing was on point. Claiming Tuesday is worthy of having its own day to sit back, relax, and consume the story on the pages.
A Review of Claiming Tuesday by Riley Edwards
Tuesday and Jackson – 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVED the characters in this book! It just goes to show that age is just a number if the feelings are there. Definitely worth taking the time to read and enjoy!

**Honest review voluntarily provided from a Complimentary Copy**
Claiming Tuesday, The Next Generation Book 4, was a first for me and I was blown away. Riley Edwards told a story about the love between Jackson a fire fighter and Tuesday a successful model who has shut herself off from men as the hurt and humilation she endured in the past has made her cold and angry. Jackson once he saw Tuesday again, knew she was the one for him and now he is faced with knocking all the of the barriers Tuesday has erected, can he help Tuesday see that she is meant for him and that she deserves love and happiness in her life? Now Tuesday is faced with the threats from a family member and an unknown person. Jackson and his family and friends will do every thing they can to protect Tuesday from the danger that surrounds her. This story had it all; strong family bonds, friendship, danger, drama, determination, sadness and lots of passion. This is one story that is a must read and I now find myself needing to read the other books in this series. Hopefully Delaney’s book is next. Riley Edwards has outdone herself!!! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.,
Riley Edward’s Claiming Tuesday is filled with so much love and caring it will tear out your heart and touch your soul. The poignancy of her words and clarity of her message makes every story better than the last. Claiming Tuesday is no different. Her stories are about trust, family, loyalty, love, and happily ever afters and acknowledging that it takes time and hard work to achieve. Jackson is a man with a mission to love Tuesday until the end of his days and beyond. Jackson is a man any woman would love to have in her life but Tuesday doesn’t trust him not to hurt her. As Jackson and Tuesday work towards their happily ever after you will tear up, get angry, and believe in true love all over again. Character development is beyond phenomenal. These are people you want to know and care about.
I read this in one sitting and absolutely could not put it down. The feelings were so real it was as if I was experiencing the highs and lows with the characters with them. If you want a story full of heart and soul read a book by Riley Edwards. The Next Generation series should be savored and enjoyed book by book but each book can be read as a stand alone. Job well done.
Jackson and Tuesday’s story is very intense and totally engrossing – kept me on the edge of my seat and emotional. Full of romance, humor, action, suspense, drama, and super awesome characters makes this book one I highly recommend. Told in a way that not only is realistic but totally engrossing and will take you on an emotional ride as you become totally immersed in the characters’ lives.
What a Great Story. I loved it. Jackson is a man that goes after what he wants. He knew from the first smile that Tuesday was what he wanted. Tuesday threw him curveballs throughout the book. Jackson remained steadfast. Wonderful storyline. Surprises and romance. I highly recommend this book.
The 4th book “Claiming Tuesday” is from Ms Riley’s The Next Generation series and she is unstoppable. I don’t know how Ms Riley does it but she proves to me, again and again, just what a creative writer she is. This book is another success for this reader and I was engaged from the beginning to the end.
I’m very picky when it comes to heroine, they could be written as too much of a damsel-in-distress or too much GI Jane but Tuesday is perfect for me and she’s perfect for Jackson! Also, talking about perfection … just how perfectly written is our Hero, Jackson Clark? Total badass alpha and so swoon worthy.
This story is sexy, it is funny, it has the right amount of tension and most importantly, it has heart. Now after that teaser at the end of the book, I really need Delany and Carter story please!
Finished Tuesday’s and Jackson’s story and OMG the feelings they gave me. Awesome Job Riley Edwards
Riley Edwards has hit without of the park with this one! Wasn’t surprised about that in the least. Her books just keep getting better and better and Claimimg Tuesday was no exception. Jackson is your boy next door with a heart of gold and a sense of humor a mile wide. He sets his mind on Tuesday and goes balls to the wall to win her heart. Read on to find out if he crashes and burns or seals the deal? Tuesday is a stubborn, independent woman who sets her mind on something and is hard as hell to change that. She has been through hell and back. So trusting is extremely hard, can she trust Jackson? He is set out to prove she can. Now the mouth dropping bomb Riley set was……. JUST WOW! wasnt expecting that one. Definitely need to read thos book. If you want all the feels, this is the book to give it
Although you don’t need to read the series, we did meet Tuesday in Finding Mercy and I have been not so patiently waiting for her story since I was instantly fascinated by her. I was so NOT disappointed! She was all I hoped she’d be and more. Jackson is perfection in the alpha male with all the attention and devotion Tuesday deserves. Such an amazing romance with some suspense thrown in. I literally had to read start to finish, could not put it down.
I anxiously await each Next Generation series book because I know I am going to get an honorable, sexy, alpha hero and a smart, intelligent heroine who makes me laugh, sigh and cry. I fall right into each story and I hate when they end.
CLAIMING TUESDAY (The Next Generation #4) by Riley Edwards is the new romantic suspense in the series. Like all of the other Next Generation books, I feel they are more focused on the romance in each with the suspense as a subplot rather than equal to the romance.
Jackson Clark knows what he wants and will not stop until he gets it. He knew at the age of five he wanted to be a fireman and he worked to make it happen. At a family barbeque, he spotted Mercy’s friend, Tuesday and knew she was the woman for him. He knows this is going to be a challenge, not just because Tuesday is older than him, but also because Tuesday does not let men get close.
Tuesday Knowls has grown-up in the modeling world. She knows many people see only her beauty on the outside, but she has emotional baggage that she does not want to share. After a life-changing and emotionally devastating relationship that destroyed all of her trust in men, Tuesday does not let people in. She finds it exasperating that Jackson refuses to believe she does not want him for anything other than sex.
When flowers and threatening letters begin to appear at Tuesday’s door, she breaks down as the past is starting to repeat itself. Jackson and his family consider Tuesday one of their own and work to find and eliminate the threat. Can Tuesday open up, share her past and rely on Jackson to protect her body as well as her heart?
Ms. Edward’s characters always seem so real to me. I felt sad and mad for Tuesday’s past experiences every time one was revealed. Thank goodness she had her grandparents. Jackson was the perfect match for her with his persistence and ability to see beyond her outer protective shell. Ms. Riley’s dialogue is realistic, entertaining and had me laughing out loud at times. In all of the books in this series, the sex scenes are smokin’ hot and explicit. Each book contains a complete romance, but they also have some crossover between them due to the closeness of the extended family.
I can highly recommend this book and series.
And now I have to wait again.
Riley Edwards writes with heart and soul. Claiming Tuesday was what I look for. I was captivated from the beginning. The characters were addicting and I adored them. You have the demons lurking in the shadows. The monsters that need to be slayed.
I could not get enough of this story. You get angst, love, and darkness. I could not put the book down and am addicted to The Next Generation series!
