Taking Liberty

The Next Generation, Book 7

By: Riley Edwards

Narrated by: Devon Grace, Troy Duran

The Army trained Lieutenant Liberty McCoy to be the best—an elite Special Forces soldier, just like her father and uncles. But nothing prepared her for the bossy, good-looking Navy SEAL who rescues her after a mission goes horribly wrong.

Navy SEAL Drake Hayes thinks his team is being sent out on a special purpose extraction. He’s had enough experience to expect the unexpected. But nothing prepared him for the brave, tough woman he finds.

Their attraction is immediate, overwhelming, and all-consuming. But distance and military regulations force Drake to walk away.

When Liberty’s family discovers her capture wasn’t an act of war but a decade’s old personal vendetta and she’s still in danger, the men of the 707 move swiftly to exact their revenge. Haunted by the torture she’d endured, plagued with guilt, and heartbroken over losing the man she’d fallen in love with, Liberty spirals out of control, leaving her alone, lost, and adrift. When Drake faces the decision to save his career and reputation or the woman he loves, the choice is easy. Leaving everything he’d worked so hard for behind, it’s time to follow his heart.

Will Drake make it in time, or is Liberty too far gone?

OK RELEASE THE NEXT BOOK NOW 🙏🏻

The word for about finding a great series before all the books are released or waiting for the next one! Yet again another amazing book in the series I liked this one was longer has been like this too, and melting over Drake!!

Liberty and Drake

I love seeing the kids of the 707 characters get their HEA!!

Liberty and Drake have such a great story, I loved it all.
I listened to the audio and enjoyed it so much. I couldn't put it down.

Great story, mixed performance

This is the final book in the Next Generation series. I love the characters and the depth, loyalty, and strength they show through their experiences. I love the extended family in this series, both by blood and by bond. There is great suspense and the romance has bumps but reaches a happy conclusion. The performance by Troy Duran was excellent. The performance by Devon Grace was mixed. Some of it was very good and some of it was so quiet I had trouble hearing it, which was annoying. So I averaged out the performance rating to a 4.

Great ending for this series

It was a great ending for this series! I wouldn’t say more about the book but it was a fast read and listen for me. It’ll make you smile, cry, annoyed at some point but the emotional rollercoaster was well worth it. Drake is such a great hero (just like Carter from Adoring Delaney) Liberty was strong and a fighter. Riley Edwards did an amazing job with this one, I can’t wait for the next series, Triple Canopy, and follow some of the next gen characters and Drake’s teammates. It’ll be a great addition to this family.
Troy Duran did an amazing narration, as always. Devon Grace was okay not my favorite but a push through with it from book 1 to book 7 of this series.
Love all of Riley Edwards books keep them
coming you got me hooked ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing series

This is the best series I have read. An amazing story of strength and courage. A group of friends that become family and the strength they lend each other during the rough times. I love the narrator’s. The make the Story come to life.

Great wrap up of the Next Gen story lines

I really enjoyed listening to this series! Right from the start with the first book from the 707. This series had a lot more action which I found really exciting, although it wasn't as focused on romance. I did find all the acronyms and military terms a bit challenging to keep track of. As for Drake and Liberty's relationship, while they were both strong characters, i didn't always feel a strong chemistry between them.

The ending chapters were so well done and I loved seeing things from the original characters' perspectives. Riley Edwards has quickly become one of my favorite authors, so I'm definitely looking forward to the Triple Canopy Series.

Absolutely love this book

This book is amazing. Drake and Liberty are so perfect for each other. Story is well written and the narration is excellent.

Such an emotional story!

Riley Edwards pulls out all the stops with Liberty and Drake's story. So much emotion and action. Triple Canopy is in great hands with this next generation!

Great Ending to an Amazing series.

This book was great overall but the constant back and forth with Liberty’s mental was exhausting. I know that sounds insensitive because she was tortured but I was looking forward to more of the badass that we learned about throughout the series. We were given the broken version and that sucked. She literally told her dad, cousins and uncles that it’s all their fault and then gets upset when they took it to the heart and say she was just wrong for blaming them. Ugh I hated it. She’s supposed to be a complete and total badass and I just wasn’t getting it. Then enter, Drake. He was such a great man and the best partner that could’ve been created for her. He exuded confidence and pure killer / protector instinct. Now I just wish we could get a book for Trey, I want him to find love so badly.

This story will stay with you

This is my absolute favorite book by Riley Edward’s. Great to hear it come to life😊
