Fall Hard (Jared and Cassie's story) Jared Sutter has a simple rule when it comes to women: keep 'em happy and keep 'em at a distance. He's got his reasons, and they all make sense until he falls for his neighbor and Cassie Bronson makes him want things he's always kept off-limits.
Fall Away (Trick and Gaby's story) Navy SEAL Trick Novak knows he needs to find a better cure for his insomnia, but a warm body and a pretty smile worked just fine until he met Gaby Ellis—his latest conquest’s roommate.

Three quick reads. 1st one starts out as a mystery and ends up as fluff. 2nd is a friend to lovers. 3rd is a one night stand guy who changes but with an ick factor of having slept with her roommate.
Three romantic stories, complete with angst & humour, as SEALS find the women of their dreams to love that love and accept their way of life in return. Definitely 18+
Fall Out - 4/5 - This is more of a novella really. Drew Castle is in his 30's and a Navy Seal but he lives the lifestyle of a man in his early twenties - video games, booty call, no commitment, etc. He lives this life because of his rough childhood and lack of love. Recently, his best friend, Kevin, was killed and he's still having trouble dealing with his loss. Then, Annie Martin, Kevin's younger sister knocks on his door saying Kevin left a message on her cell phone that day, but she knows it's not him. So Drew sets everything aside to help the only "family" he has left, Annie, to figure out what is going on and why someone is pretending to be Kevin. Only he doesn't have familial feelings for Annie. She's too important to him to become a fling, but he's too attached to leave her alone.
This was a pretty good story. I initially disliked Drew because of his immature lifestyle, but found myself "grring" at Annie and her potshots at it later in the book. So I guess the author was successful in making me like him in spite of it. I'm still not sure I fully understand what actually happened with the voice message and who was behind it all, but it was wrapped up satisfactorily. I really liked the epilogue though.
Fall Hard - 4/5 - ared is a Navy Seal who, while definitely a ladies man, is still a virgin (he has his reasons). He's experienced enough, but just never gone all the way. Lately, he's made friends with his neighbor, Cassie. When they started their relationship, it was on the basis of men and women could be friends, since she was getting over someone and he tries not to think long term, being a Seal and going out on deployment all the time. But Cassie is different - they were friends first and the attraction is in the way.
This really is a cute novella. I maybe thought I'd have a problem with Jared being a pseudo man whore, but I really didn't. Maybe because he doesn't act like one when he's around Cassie (at least in the book anyway). It turns out he's kind of a sweet teddy bear for her and I sort of liked the vulnerability, but wouldn't have minded a bit more gruffness. The relationship did feel a bit rushed, given the speed with which Jared changed his mind about dating, but it's a novella-length story, so I get it. The love scenes were very hot, and I love me a virgin hero!
Fall Away - 3/5 - Trick Novak is a SEAL with insomnia. He cures himself of insomnia by having one-night stands, which is how he ends up face-to-face with the girl he was eyeing up the night before, having just slept with her roommate. Gaby is a teacher, a bit more conservative when it comes to sex, but not particularly judgemental. She's attracted to Trick, but a bit turned off at the idea that he'd just no-strings sex with her roommate. That little issue gets in the way of Trick trying to start a relationship with Gaby - he really likes her, but she needs some time. But she's worth the effort.
So although Gaby apparently gets over the fact that Trick is a walking STD and had rather recently had sex with her roommate (and friend), I had a lot of trouble getting past it. It was just squicky to me. I understand how Gaby was able to do it, she had weeks and months to get past it and to focus on the fact that Trick was dedicated to her. As a reader, I didn't have weeks and months to get past it. It kept rearing its ugly head...especially when he went back to her apartment and remembered having gone into the roommate's bedroom that night... Eew. I also think that her actual aversion was overcome way too quickly - like in the blink of an eye where one minute she's uncomfortable and jealous and the next she's giving him a handjob. Other than that, it was a pretty good relationship story with not too much angst and Trick really did turn out to be a sweet guy.

My Review:
All 3 of these stories are very good short reads. The story line in each book is different and keep's you wanting more. Just because you moved on to book 2 doesn't mean you don't hear about Drew and Annie anymore...They are still in a line or two and that's cool that they haven't been forgotten. Book 3 does the same thing with Drew and Jared. I like that they aren't forgotten and I hope all the rest of the series does the same because I can't wait to read more of this series.
Each book is a Stand Alone which is awesome because I absolutely hate cliffhangers. You just might want to read them all, I do. They are well written and have a very nice charter base. The Alpha males are lovable and likable each with his own set of problem's but not willing to throw love away if it come's his way. The women are your every day average woman but they are strong and can take what these men do for a living even if they might not like it. They are strong enough to love them through it and patch them up when they come home broken. Of course you wish you could be any one of the women these men fell for. LoL
The charters are explained well and defined your not left guessing why they are the way they are. Though they are short stories the point is made without all the extra hoopla that's just really not necessary to the story. What I mean by that is...I don't really need to know why you suffer from PSTD "IF" it doesn't really affect the story.
This is a series you WANT to read more of. You really need to purchase this boxed set to get your started on your way.
I loved all three of the novellas but my most favorite was Fall Away with Trick and Tabby.
Fall Away Trick finds himself the morning after with Lila but when he meet her roommate Gaby in the kitchen, he realizes that he wants to get to know her more. Follow along with Patrick "Trick" and Gaby, a kindergarten, college teacher/ part-time editor as they take dating and getting to know each other to another level. I loved the third date rule that quick escalates to how can we not have sex but sort of have sex. They soon realize that they want to stay forever together despite the fact that being married to a Navy SEALS have high divorce rates. As Gaby says, they won't be a statistic because her SEAL loves her unconditionally.
Fall Out Drew finds Annie, whose brother recently died on their last mission, at his doorstep unbelievably scared as she plays a voicemail from her brother who has been declared dead. They soon find out that their is secrets that Kevin didn't tell his buddy, Drew or sister Annie about on the mission that took h uhh s life. But the most important one involves a prominent Senator, his wife Beth-Anne and a little boy who is Annie's nephew.
Fall Hard Jared has always wondered if h u s neighbor Cassie would be interested in taking their friendship to another level. But they must work through getting to know each other, past hurts from Cassie's ex who left her because of her infertility. Fall Hard is a sweet getting to know each other, three date rule before sex to Wow, Jared and Cassie fall in love book
All three novellas are well worth buying and you'll enjoy each one.
Fall Out: Loved this story. I wish it was longer. I didn't want it to end. Annie has a freaky situation come up in her life and the only one she can think to turn too is the man she's had a school girl crush on since she was 15 or so, her brothers best friend Drew. Now that she's 25 she's only seen him a few times in the past years. With her brother and parents gone he's the only one she trusts to turn too. Drew doesn't do relationships/love but something about the grown up Annie has him questioning things. He helps her out in her situation. They make the situation bigger than necessary but it causes them to become closer. Can't wait for the next story in this series. I hope we get more of Annie and Drew.
Fall Hard: All I can say is I want my very own Jared. What a man. I loved him the second I started reading. A virgin who's no rookie in the art of the big "O." Once Jared and Cassie crossed the line of friends I knew it was gonna be explosive. I LOVED the fact that he wanted to talk and talk a lot. He wanted everything out on the table before things went too far. That was so incredibly sweet of him. Most men don't want to talk. Jared is in a class of his own. Loved the story. I wish it were a full story. I was sad it was over.
Fall Away: I just love these HOT Navy Seals in these novelas. Just thinking of a super strong, tough, well built man coming undone for the woman of his dream is super sexy. Trick was no exception.
I am reviewing Fall Hard since it's the only book I have read in this group so far.
Jared and Cassie were neighbors who became friends. Jared dates lots of women but never found a woman he wanted to have a relationship with. Cassie is a business woman who just came out of a tough divorce. She dated but didn't find a man who wanted a permanent relationship with her because she was barren. This pair were content with being friends, each for their own reasons.
I loved this book! Both Cassie and Jared fought their crushes on each other making me root for them to find a way to get together. The author made it easy for the reader to see why they didn't want to have sex in the event that would destroy their friendship, which was so important to them.
The descriptions and narrative bring the world to life in a realistic manner that allows you to easily picture it. The secret Jared had was an absolute shocker for me. This was pretty steamy but I liked that it wasn't over the top erotica. The characters were also believable and easy to identify with.
This novella may be short and sweet, but it definitely packs a punch. If you are looking for a short, steaming read, don't miss this one.
Three stand alone novellas. No cliffhangers. I loved this. The stories all kept my attention and had cute little epilogues at the end. Okay, the only thing I didn't like was the fact that all the female leads were the same. While they looked different, the had the same personality and were just average Joes. There was nothing unique about any of them. But to be honest, it didn't bother me. These books are purely romance. If you're looking for action, you've come to the wrong place.
First time reading this author. I really enjoyed all three stories and will move on to the next three. The men were hot, the women were strong and the scenes were steamy. Best of all, they were good romances. Fall Out 4.5 stars. I liked both Drew and Annie, but the "on the run" reason wasn't dangerous enough to run like they did. Fall Hard. I really liked Jared and Cassie. It all made sense in the end. Fall Away. Even though Trick and Gaby's first meeting was a little awkward for them, I really liked it.
First one was a 2, because the h got on my nerves.
I really enjoyed the 2nd, I would give it a solid 4.
The 3rd I would give a 1. It's disgusting to me that the so-called H was into the h but when she went home for the night he started hitting on her roommate and went home with her and fucked her without ever catching her name, knowing that the h was friends with her cause he saw them there together. The h didn't even care!!! That's just nasty and gross.
I won't go out of my way to read anything by Zoe York again.
I had this book for awhile, started it and for whatever reason never quite got into it. I read one of the other books in this series that I really enjoyed, then realized that I had this one, which contains the first three books in this series. Went back and read all three stories back to back, wondered why I hadn't read them before now, but was glad that I had them to read and enjoy now. Although part of a series, each sweet, sexy, and romantic story can be read as a standalone and has a happily-ever-after.
Fall for a SEAL by Zoe York is a great collection of 3 quick read books. The characters in these books are lovable, the stories are fun and the sex is sizzlin'. These 3 books are part of the SEALs Undone series, but each of them can be read as a stand alone. Fall Out, Fall Hard and Fall Away are 3 complete stories, no cliff-hangers. I enjoyed this set of books and look forward to reading more from Zoe York in the future.
I loved all three of these stories. Its been a while since I read Fall Out and Fall Hard so I'll concentrate on Fall Away here. Gabby meets Trick, as he's stumbling around her apartment, searching for his shoes, the shoes he kicked off when he came home with her roommate... There's instant chemistry between them. But, there's the whole roommate thing playing on repeat in Gabby's head.... Wow! Loved it!! Can't wait to read more
Fall for a SEAL: three book military romance collection is an anthology of the first three books in the SEAL's Undone series. Three sexy Navy SEALs find romance when they least expected to find their soulmate and were happy being single until they met that special woman.
Story List:
Fall Out ~ Drew & Annie. Fall Hard ~ Jared & Cassie. Fall Away ~ Trick & Gaby's story.
Surprisingly sweet romances with heroes who are nice guys and still sufficiently macho to be exciting. The heroines all have to be understanding and accepting of their men's jobs, lots of long absences and secrecy and potential for injury. There's enough steam to get the blood humming, too. I did come across a handful of typographical errors, not enough to annoy. I will be reading this author again.
Zoe York it's becoming one of my favorite authors. I've read four of her stories now and they all just gave off feel good vibes. You can feel the love between her characters and gives you the warm gizmos just by reading their stories.
This box set is about three good looking Navy SEALS and the women they fall for. You can't help but love the leads as they try to fight want can't be helped and fall in love.
Recommend to everyone that is a romantic at heart.
I loved reading Drew and Annie, Jared and Cassie, and Trick and Gaby's stories. The three men are Navy SEAL's and they fall for women that are just so great for them. Annie, Cassie and Gaby brought out the best in the three men. I was drawn in to their stories and had a hard time stopping reading. This is a good series and I can't wait to read about the other Navy SEAL's and their girlfriends.
Sometimes I want to cry. Because I know these are stories but also true things. The not being able to share his job. The constant strain of leaving for months. Unsure if he'll return or what may have happened to him. But these are sweet loving stories. I could read and will read over.
Three books in one, who could complain about that? Even better is the three very hot guys who's characters are brought to light. Each story has its benefits and all are very enjoyable and sexy with a decent speed of entertainment that doesn't go off pace. I'm pretty sure that I will read this again in the future.
I really enjoyed reading this set of the first 3 novellas starting off Zoe York's SEALs Undone series. Hot SEALs not looking for love but finding it anyways with strong women that can tame them. A loveable, fun, sexy and quick read! If you like reading about Navy SEALs falling hard in love you will want to read this series!
Book three in the SEALs Undone series is the story of Trick and Gabby. Hot 'hit it once and move on navy seal' and Gabby 'sweet kindergarten teacher' make quite a team. Sexy, sassy and sweet read that had me smiling. Nice addition to series with mentions of previous series couple and how they all connect.
A great series. Loved this box set! Hot, sexy and full of feeling it will have you disappointed when it ends. I was so into the books that I forgot to eat lunch. I can't wait to read more from this author.
I was given this e-book by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. My conclusions are my own. I wad not compensated in any way.
A lovely tale of three gals and the dudes they been taken with. Love takes many paths, and in their hearts the Seals have gone Looking forward to another tale!
Everyone of these seals have made what they feel for their ladies Worth everything they do. Their ladies know when there seals leave on a mission that they are the first and last thing on their mines while they are away.
