FREE
Faking my own death came with a higher price tag than I expected.
I joined the Army and left behind everything. A life I hated. And the only woman I had ever loved. I thought I was doing the right thing, but my good intentions quickly turned into my biggest regret.

One night.
One kiss.
One final farewell was all I was allowed before I was sent overseas never to return.

I took my love for her to my grave. Year after year, I hide in the shadows and watch Lily mourn. She sits by a cold headstone and spills her secrets to a dead man. So many times I wanted to comfort her, tell her the truth, love her. But I couldn't. She'd never understand. The man she'd loved was gone, and it was my fault he never returned.

But when a terrorist out for revenge threatens Lily's safety, I'm forced out of the darkness. My secret is exposed, and I'm going to claim the one woman I have no business loving.

Freeing Jasper
The moment Jasper heard Emily Jenkins' sultry voice he was transfixed.

An instant and heated reaction that wound its way through his soul and warmed his skin. The inexplicable connection was broken as fast as it began. Emily has a son. Jasper doesn't "do" kids.

When her life spirals out of control, will Jasper be able to let go of his tragic past and save Emily and her son? Or has the Special Forces Soldier found his weakness - a history he cannot let go of?

Emily Jenkins lost her husband on the battlefield and was left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart while finding a way to raise her son alone.

Jasper Walker is known for being the playboy of his team. Professionally, he is a tier one assassin - a trained killer. Personally, he blows through women giving them no more than a week in his bed as he privately struggles to move on from the woman that is forever lost to him.

When their lives collide, Jasper finds out he's not the only one with secrets. There is more to the black-haired beauty Emily than a widowed single mother.

Finally Free
Blake Porter was one of the lucky ones. She’d met the man she was going to marry while she was in high school. She thought she was living a fairytale; the nerdy wannabe journalist dating the gorgeous star quarterback. One wrong move proved to irrevocably alter the course of their lives.

Betrayed by the girl he loved, Levi McCoy left for the Army and never looked back. Blake’s deception pierced his soul and shattered his heart. He used the pain to his advantage and became cold and calculating - the perfect Black Ops soldier.

Over a decade later, the 707 has been called in to rescue a reporter embedded in a deadly terrorist cell, and Levi’s shocked to learn it’s the one woman who’d once owned his heart. But Blake is no longer the naive teenager she’d once pretended to be. She’s something far more dangerous.

With bombs exploding, blood being spilled, and the terrorists closing in, they both battle the memories of their beautiful beginnings and shared history. Levi and Blake face off in a showdown of wills. In one corner, Levi is determined not to fall for the woman he’s never stopped loving. In the other, Blake tries to hold on to her self-respect and not beg Levi to hear the truth.
When the lies and deception are revealed will they survive with their hearts and lives intact?

FREEDOM
She’s the game changer he wishes he’d never met.
Nolan Clark is the last man standing. While he is happy his teammates have found love, he’s even happier to be single.

Oh my word! I was on the hunt for something different and that is what I found with Riley's books.
To say I am in love with this series and all her other works is an understatement.

I have binged on each and everyone of her books and love each and everyone.

Hot, steamy, sexy, sizzling with hot alpha males. I am in heaven.

Loved this series😍

Free - Book 1

I only recently discovered Riley’s books with the Gemini series so I decided I was going to do myself a favour and buy some box sets! After finding a reading order I decided to start with the 707 series as I know there are some new books coming out and I’m eager to get stuck into them❣️

Suffice to say this story was fantastic! It flowed well, the characters were amazing and the couple’s chemistry was off the chart hot🔥 Lily and Shane grew up together but he decides not long after finishing school that he’s going to join the military. Not long after that he dies, leaving Lily alone to grieve him. But twelve years later, her life is in danger and suddenly Shane reappears and her life that she knew is gone😱

Can’t wait to read the rest of this series❤️

Freeing Jasper - Book 2

Jasper’s story is the second in the 707 Freedom series and I’m kicking my own butt because I’ve seen Riley’s name around but held off reading her work but I’m fully immersed now and I’m not holding back😁

Jasper’s story is full of emotions. His past is so sad but when he meets Emily, he’s attracted to her but pulls back after finding out she has a child, but not for the reasons she’s thinking🤔 Suffice to say when he goes into the bank one afternoon and he sees Emily at the teller and in danger because of a bank heist...all bets are off and the kid gloves come off too 🥊

Loved this story and I’m looking forward to reading the next two❣️

Finally Free - Book 3
Holy smokes🔥

Wow, anything I read by Riley I swear flies by so quickly I’m left going....it’s over? Only because I want more❣️ I loved Levi’s story not only because it was the polar opposite of the man I’ve come to know in the first two free books but also because Blake was so kick@ss too😍 A fast paced story that will keep you on your toes and hopefully much like me CRAVING the next story like an addict❤️

Freedom - Book 4
Freedom comes at a price❤️

Nolan is the final man on his four man team that is single. When Reagan arrives in town to visit before moving down to Florida, Nolan is completely taken with her❣️ Not one to admit his feelings after everything he’s been through, they agree to a no strings attached relationship. However, when the past comes back to bite him..Reagan stands by him. When she does finally leave for Florida, no one could’ve predicted what would happen next and just how much danger Reagan was in😢

A bit of a slow start to this one after reading Levi and Blake’s story but I still loved it and these couples😍 I’m looking forward to reading the next generation books🤩

I like to think I know what I’m getting when I read a RE book, but the truth of the matter is that other than knowing I’ll be meeting a HOT alpha (most likely military) man, a strong woman who knows her own mind and that I will probably laugh and cry in equal measure and feel like I’ve been through the emotional ringer.....the truth is I never really do.

Each of these stories is stand-alone in its own right, but trust (and believe) you will not be able to stop at just the one, which is why this box set is all you will ever need when it comes to the 707 (of course that’s before you discover there is a whole next gen and beyond thing going on but I wouldn’t let that ruin your day...)

Each of this characters builds gradually through the series which is why reading them in order does make the most sense, and why when you finally get to Nolan’s story you have the patience to understand him given what he has done previously for his brothers (he being the sole reason Blake and Levi got a final chance for instance)

The characters are lovable, you definitely feel engaged with them and follow this journey alongside them in the books. The world building is amazing (I can even forgive the Dallas style time lapses that developed over the wider series ;)) and you get dragged along this wild ride of emotion in each of the books till the characters crash land into a HEA that at various points you though had a cat in hells chance of actually happening.

Heart pumping, by the end of each story you will need a lie down in a dark room with a glass of something strong to recover and recollect what the heck just happened, before giving serious consideration to calling in sick to your job and starting again from chapter 1...

I adore this author and always eagerly await her mew releases. A definite go to for me.

The 707

The first book was about Shane and Lily. They both grew up in a very elite position of being part of the rich and famous set in Hollywood. They both loved the other. But he couldn't stay and become just like his father. So he left for the military. She stayed behind. At first she was able to make do with his military leaning. Until not long after he joined he died on his first deployment. For twelve years she mourned the loss. But while visiting his grave she is pulled into a whole new world of good and evil. This story is about secrets kept and reconnection. Can they get their happy ending even though he has kept his new life from her?
The second book is about Jasper and Emily. They met through Lily. But he couldn't connect with her because of her child. Not that he was against children, no his past has him hurting. But when she is put into danger he steps up to protect both her and her son. When her past catches up with her will be able to open up like she does? Will her ability to make him understand his past bring them happiness in the end?
The next book is about Levi and Blake. They had been sweethearts in high school. But when he overhead part of a conversation between her and his step father he broke up with her. Now twelve years later he finds out that she is with the CIA and an amazing agent. They end up helping each other on missions. And once he finds out what really happened back then all that stood between them is gone.
They last man standing is Clark. And Reagan is back. She has a back story with one of his teammates. He hasn't been able to get the betrayal of his wife and brother out if his mind. Even after his brothers death. His anger issues are still there. But when Reagan gets into trouble he moves mountains to get her back.

Free - Riley Edwards combines great characters and a strong military storyline and gives readers exactly what they were hoping for. Lily and Shane's story has dramatic twist and turns but in the end their love overcomes all obstacles. The secondary characters will leave you wanting more and you will want to dive right into thew second book ASAP.

Freeing Jasper - Nothing better than a tough military man falling to his knees when it comes to finding his HEA. But in Jasper and Emily's case there are large hurdles and uncomfortable back stories to get through first. Once again Riley Edwards gives you characters you will instantly fall in love with while taking you on a page turning journey. Looking forward to the next book.

Finally Free - Levi and Blake's story will take you back to young love in high school and walk you through the pain and despair of jumping to conclusions and ruining your future. But in Riley Edward's unique way the past collides with the present and while dodging bullets and catching the bad guys, Levi and Blake finally get their HEA. This was a wild ride that was very hard to put down.

Freedom - And another one bites the dust. Nolan has watched his brothers find their HEA but was steadfast that he would never fall that way himself. That is until Reagan pulls the rug from underneath him and he comes face to face with the life and the love he never knew he wanted. Throw in a child and you have a family worthy waiting for. Loved this series and I am looking forward to the second generation.

Good read

This four part book was very enjoyable. First was Shane and Lilly. For twelve years Lily thought the love of her life was dead. But when he saved her from hired killers she is forced to rethink the last 12 years. Rhetorical work through their problems.
Then Jasper meets Emily and her son Jason. At first Emily thinks that Jasper doesn't children. But Jasper quickly abused her of that idea. Emily has an ex that says he wants back the book she stole from him. Jasper and his team to to work to save both Emily and Jason.

Levi and the team to to try and rescue a journalist. Levi is horrified to learn that Blake his only love is the one captured. He head her betray him when they were both 18. Now they will be able to get to the truth and take down Leo's stepfather.

Clark is the last hold out. But he throws in his hat when he meets Reagan.

Excellent series

I actually read one of the Second Generation books first, then had to find the series that told the stories of the parents. I'm glad I did. While the other series can be read without the first, having the background just makes them that much better.
So, as far as this series goes, I am impressed. Of course, the men are beyond hot, the women are gorgeous, the sex is off-the-charts sizzling... But even better is the relationship each couple develops despite whatever past trauma or hang-ups he or she has. There is happiness, tinged with a dose of reality: bad things do happen. Black ops secrecy, trust issues, accidents and incidents, oh, my! I enjoyed every minute.

Amazing collection

This is alpha military guys at its best. Even better the follow-up next generation Riley Edwards thought to write. The four guys from each of their stories takes the reader on an amazing journey into their world. Fantastic binge read, hence I got the collection, can be read out of order but soooo good if you read 707 before next gen. The characters Riley constructs, the emotions keep off the page. Any book(s) that can make me laugh, cry real ugly tears, gasp, cringe, desperately need to know what happens next but not want the stories to end kinda shares how good this series is.

Read this boxed set in 3 days... if I didn't have adult/ parental responsibilities, I wouldn't even have put these books down. The way trauma informs so many of our actions and beliefs is absolutely explored, challenged, problem-solved and then resolved in the stories of this team of chosen brothers and the family they make altogether. You will cheer for every primary character you meet in these stores, even the children. You will also chastise and scold them for the bad decisions and impulsive actions too. And you definitely want to bring down hellfire on the people who threaten the happiness of this family unit. Can't wait to read through the adventures of their children now.

The Ultimate 707 Collection!

This is a must for any Riley Edwards fan! The Complete 707 includes Free (Lenox and Lily), Freeing Jasper (Jasper and Emily), Finally Free (Levi and Blake), and Freedom (Clark and Reagan).
If you’re new to the 707, these four stories will keep you on the edge of seat and take you on a ride with all the emotions as these men work towards their HEAs. And women set an example of strength and love. Funny, strong, and endearing, these characters will burrow so deep into your heart that they become family.
And the fun doesn’t stop with the 707. Riley has created an incredible world that follows this family and The Next Generation!

707

I've seen so many reviews talking about the 707 series and how much they love it. I started with gold series and worked my way through others. Finally read 707 and now i understand the hype. I loved it so much I just purchased the entire next generation series and can't wait to start on Nick's book!!! Can't say which 707 story is my favorite because I loved them all for different reasons. Although, I will say, the trouble that hits in Freedom took me by surprise. Didn't see that one coming at sll.. Very good job though..

MUST READ BOOKS INDEED

707

Absolutely loved this series. In the complete box set you get Lenox, Jasper. Levi and Clark's story. I loved each story but Freeing Jasper is my favorite. Jasper and Emily were perfect for eachother . I loved how Jasper opened up to Emily, she was very understanding of his pain and situation. I also enjoyed Clark and Reagan, their story is book four Freedom. Reagan was a breathe of fresh air to the serious Clark. I laughed out loud at Reagan's antics. I personally can't wait to read the Next Generation the spin off series to the 707. Happy Reading!!

I took a chance on a new to me author back in the Summer of 2020 and I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Riley Edwards story yet. This series quickly became one of my favorites!! The character development is thorough and pacing keeps you reading into the late hours of the night; despite having to work the next morning you just want one more chapter…

These 4 stories lead you to Edwards Next Generation series and then into the Triple Canopy series. Each and every book is a unique must read for me!! Love!!

Stunning

The 707 team blew me away. The series of 4 Handsome rugged men , who put their lives on the line and 4 strong beautiful women who taught them love and stood strong for each other . I just kept reading and couldn't stop until I finished this series . A group of men and women that became brothers and sisters that was there for each other . You will come to love these guys and the women that nothing would break their bonds .Family to each other not by blood but by love .

This was a series that I could not put down. I was invested through every chapter in every book. Carter, Lenox, Jasper, and Levi all served their country well. They deserved complete happiness. Each of their stories were raw. Each member had a past of secrets - hurtful and horrible. They needed to move on. Each found their way back to true love, whether it was a childhood crush or a stranger. I was able to envision every book, not just separately, but as a whole plot. Im excited to have read that there is a spinoff of the future generations of the 707 family.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING

This particular box set came as a great surprise. Author did a fantastic job of describing the four main alpha males who were The 707 Unit and their female counterparts who became their soul mates. After reading this set of stories the reader's will find themselves hooked and anxious to begin the Next Generation series covering the lives and adventures of the above families children.

707 - Complete Series

OMG! This was a FANTASTIC series! It seemed like I couldn't out the books down! The only disappointment was not knowing when the four men left the 707. There was only a brief mention of their retirement after 10 years. Riley got down to the nitty gritty of each story in the first few chapters. I am happy each of the men found their happily ever afters. FANTASTIC job Riley! I would recommend this series.

I'm in Love

This is the first series I have read from this author, it will not be the last. I was captivated from the first story to the last. No 2 are alike, strong alpha type males who find themselves with strong females they never knew they needed. I love the HEA and I loved the road to get there. I had asked the author which book she recommended to start with and this was it, Great starting point. I look forward to reading more from her

Hold on Tight, What a Ride!

You know you’ve found a great author when you not only read the emotions in the book, but you can feel them as well. Having this box set of the 707 Series gives you all that alpha male goodness page after page after page, but you also get the bad as nails heroines that will leave you laughing and speechless and wishing you had one of those alpha males whispering their story in your ear.

all of 707!

This collection is all of the original 707 stories into one! The stories of Lennox and Lily, Jasper and Emily, Levi and Blake, and Clark and Reagan. A fantastic read. Each of the stories are standalone with lots of action and romance. Together, the collection is a must own, must read one. Riley Edwards has created 4 different couples and given each of them a wonderful and fitting story. Loved it.

all together

Box sets are ideal when it holds the entire series. I loved that I could jump into the next story immediately. It seems to help the world flow and the characters stay front and center. A great series for those who like military and action with their romance. The ending gave a good peak into a spin off series with the next generation and I am looking forward to seeing Nick with the BAU and whatever else comes with all of the teams children as they grew up!

Thanks Ms. Edwards-this was a treat!

Riley Edwards surprised me with this series. She managed to get together some of the genres I like the most: romantic suspense and military romance. Of course all the characters are devoted alpha heroes and beautiful, sensitive but strong heroines.
I read all 4 books in just a few days; I enjoyed each story, there ere unique and captivating.

Okay I loved it each and every story, each and every character.
It's good action, drama fiction with happy endings and I love that... Are the guys dough bags lol well sometimes are the women weak for forgiving them? I don’t see it that way no I think there are always three sides to a story his version her version and the truth so if you trust in the truth you find love.

Entertaining series

It was great having all four stories in one book. I could go immediately to the next one. The H and h are all interesting and well developed. The storyline is very good and keeps you engrossed in the book. There are definitely some steamy scenes with each couple in their books.

Unputdownable - if there is such a word

This is one of the best series I've read so far, and I've read my share of books.
Riley had me laughing, crying, angry, annoyed, frustrated, blissfully happy in the space of 4 stories so well told that I barely slept the entire time I read this. The stories are interwoven and yet can so ve read on their own; I loved every minute ❤️
