Sealed with a Kiss
What's better than working with one chiseled Navy SEAL?
Working with three of them.
I flew to the middle of nowhere to chase down a lead.
I didn’t know I’d find the man of my dreams in a bar.
A tall, dark and handsome veteran with a lusty smile.
But Roman isn’t just a sexy one-night stand.
He’s a rival archaeologist.
And it turns out we’re hunting the same treasure.
Now we’re in a race to find this priceless artifact.
A cursed relic that has personal meaning to me.
But I’m going to need help beating Roman to the treasure.
A pair of gorgeous Navy SEALs (Wade & Luke) who look like they’re straight out of a modelling calendar.
And the best part? They’re paid to do whatever I tell them.
Our mission will take us to the edge of the world.
From a remote Pacific island, to the frosty tundra of Alaska, to the radiation-scorched exclusion zone of Chernobyl.
Can my SEALs and I capture the relic before Roman?
Or will the four of us become entangled along the way?
SEALED WITH A KISS is a military stand-alone reverse harem [MFMM] love story filled with humour, suspense, and non-stop action. HEA guaranteed!

RATING: 4.5/5 stars to Sealed with a Kiss !! ★ ★ ★ ★
As much as I wanted the Diadem, I don’t want to leave behind a world where the greatest treasures have all been found.’
“I have many questions for you, Dakota Bettiker.”
“Ask away.”
“Are you named for North Dakota, or South Dakota? And also, how did you fall into the company of such hideously ugly men?” The offended looks on my three companions’ faces made me double-over with laughter.

CONFESSION. Books weren’t my first love, films were. Please suspend your weapons of attack before you pummel me with the weight of your reader scorn. I know what you’re thinking, this is bookish blasphemy! I’ll admit, I wasn’t the traditional ‘I came flying out of the womb with reader specs and an appetite for words’. I took my lawful time to secure a love for reading but I still loved stories. A lot. And well, cinematic narration I found, was a fantastic, reachable medium to spread some of the most far-reaching types.
With the lunch money I saved up every day, I’d wait for a free school period to visit my local supermarket so I could browse, with a reserved but patient and strategic enthusiasm, through my favourite collections and genres. Top picks were fantasy, adventure, action, thriller and suspense. That was the advent of what would become my meager chorus of accumulated favourites.
National Treasure was among them, and to this day, is still a winning front-runner. The action, adventure, the humour, the suspenseful phases of the quest, the ethos of cultural conservation, the chase for historical accuracy and Benjamin Gates’ - played by Nicholas Cage - honourable intent in righting a false claim coalesced into a cinematic piece that made me dream of adventure and to one day find my own treasure-worthy truth in life.
My point, fellow reader, is that after scouting out the premise of Sealed with a kiss by one of my favourite reverse harem romance authors, Cassie Cole, I couldn’t betray the wave of giddy joy I felt In thinking ‘a written hunt that just might possess the escapade of classic adventure’? YES PLEASE. Why? Because this turned out to be an ambitious piece of romantic fiction that stands on the cavernous floors of its own merit while paying a praise and celebrating the amazing films I’ve loved.

Dakota Bettiker, just like Cole’s traditional type of leading protagonist is astute, bold, poised, independent and professionally tactful with something to prove, a vulnerability that can sometimes sabotage her rational state of mind. A compliment rather than a criticism. Vulnerability lends a lot to gain and to explore for any character, within and without, and that’s why emotional resonance, well...resonates. She didn’t disappoint. The archetype might be consistent but it's a safe reliability.
Treasure questing is a hunt of solitary proportions and Dokota has set her adventurous boots and linear senses on the biggest odyssey of her life: finding the lost Khan Diadem. The mighty and mystical ancient relic has stained her pupils with thrilling glee and outfitted her pursuit for victory in every shade of impetus but predominantly of sentimental incline.
A travel-heavy, foot-over-foot schedule is the resolute life of a treasure seeker, but settling in the mist of her mother’s archaeological bequest and troubled by an inheritance that surrounds her daily, Dakota decidedly shoulders the goal of a lifetime to complete a deeply-valued collection of artifacts that belonged to one of the most notorious rulers in history. She just needs the crowning piece. Shame she’s not the only one on the hunt though…
After a hot night spent with a gorgeous traveller, Dakota wakes to find that her nighttime visitor, Roman Cedeno, is none other than competition, a fellow archeologist who cares more for the payout and the payday. He also lied to her. Roman and Dakota may share the same mission but they don’t share the same cultural values. After refusing an offer to two it to the finish line, they’re pitted apart…and so the chase begins and so the plot thickens!

I rarely say it. I seldom use it, but it’s happening. This book was of the unputdownable variety. That’s not a phrase I use flippantly, but honestly, I pushed myself into late nights just to keep reading. I truly had forgotten the mortal peril of going without Cassie Cole crusade. This includes but is not limited to; bookish slumps, wondering why love is one pair deal, feeling the direct deficiency of exploratory, headstrong heroines who rule the roost and have a heart large enough for three.
Sealed with a Kiss broke my miserable drought and charmed me with its enthusiastic attraction. I loved it. From first page to last. Cover to blurb. Word to word. From height to width, this was lit. Romance has made itself my melody, I’ll swagger, strut and sway with its pitch, and Cassie Cole sports a special make that orchestrates a harmony that recharges, fascinates and climaxes to love that comes in sets of three.
If you’ve read from Cole, you’ll know her affinity: multiple partner love and an action-dense, active plot. With Dakota as head of the pack, Luke and Wade, her two serving, top-tier ex-SEAL mercenary recruits and Roman, her quick, cocksure, thirsty equal, we’ve got a cast of characters who all identify as individuals. Each protagonist has a presence. Luke, the silent safeguarding stoic, Wade, the southern, boyish comedian and Roman, the self-facilitating hunter who’s aim to carve his name in stone sometimes compromises his ethical compass.
Fact that binds with fiction makes for some of the most compelling stories and persuasive reads. Cassie Cole monopolises on this with a story that boasts a stainless strand of research. Smartly studied with a proportional depth of research, there’s plenty of historical information to eat up without those heavy info dumps that can clog up those vital neural pathways. A well-guaged level of detail and direction defines the lacework of a Cassie Cole novel.
The dialogue is naturally engaging and well-placed. It reminds me of big screen film where dialogue effectively places itself for strategic impact and comedy value. All the while feeling effortlessly artless. I can only say good things about it. The plot itself is much thicker than the actual romance and the romantic connections so i wouldn't expect impressively detailed romantic developments. Though you will get needed vulnerability and cursory, mellow moments from the characters between the story-building developments.
Sealed with a Kiss manages to expertly invoke some resonance and matter within a quickly paced adventure sequence. This is a story that combines a swift, streamlined pace with tension, suspense and constant movement broken up by a lot of flowing comedy. I was giddy with giggles and smiles through a good portion of the book from the laughable moments alone, and the humour goes a way in latching onto levity while the heart skips with the uptick of the plot. It just made me feel good.
If you read from this author you’ll know she writes reverse harem, polyamorous romance so you’re in for some singular and multiple partner situations. I’ll admit that the sexy scenes do unfold rather quickly and the relationship growth is much more milder and without the deeper connections you might be looking for, but the brevity of theses scenes meets the fast moving plot so synchronicity balances itself out. The character relationships could use some owl-eyed attention to level the more human developments with the pace of the surrounding story, but that's all I have in the name of critique...

Returning to a Cassie Cole novel is like a homecoming, replete with a fuzzy welcome mat, a buoyant reception and dewy-eyed nostalgia from arriving back to familiar territory. With Cole’s novels though, you won’t be without the chiselled man muscle that can only be found in her books, not in your home.
Characteristically, stories don’t always make for smooth reading experiences for me because among substantial cognitive dysfunction, I experience the heavy disability of someone who lives with chronic illness. Readers OCD is only another added complication. It’s not fun at all. It's a transformative quality for a story to make you feel light on your feet and light on the inside... I'll offer some context. I've lived with chronic illness for a number of years. It's truly debilitating and I describe it as living a half life, or even less than that.
I see it as a hellhole on my worst days, with only a hellscape for a view. When Katniss Everdeen is deep in the hunger games and she receives those Sponsor packages that fall gracefully from above, the ones that make a big difference in healing and a painful death? That's what great stories are to me. Parcels of promise. I've realised that Cassie Cole's stories parcel such promises. They offer an amazing distraction with tear-apart action Sealed with a kiss was an unproblematic read, both in writing style and content. It was both and easy and delightful to digest. It’s also officially the best book I’ve read so far this year.
The hunt can consume the hunter and the hunter can become blindsided by the object of the hunt, especially within a chase that promises no bounty. Dakota is hand in hand with the reins and ready to shoulder the abiding odyssey, but a highly strung business invites a thrilling, magnetic chase for a cursed artifact with a strong gravitational pull. Every clue in and every lead hooked strengthens the allure of an invaluable item. One that sounds her name and keeps her captive eyes on the ancient prize, poised at an uncalculated distance.
The best quests lead to the most unexpected places. Sometimes the answers are a lot closer to home and I’m glad I got to enjoy this within the comfort of mine. You’ll get a taste of foreign landscapes that span the globe. Remote haunts, ancient chasms, old-age stratagem, tombs and clues, chasing traces and mending bridges, lead after lead, history and mystery, old-world tradition and a high-tailed mission, thrills and spoils, making friends and breaking trends all in the name of an object that has earned the name of a cursed legend.
Admirers of National Treasure, ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones with a penchant for open-plan romance will love this. I’d go as far as to say, Sealed with a Kiss is almost as cinematic as theatrical screenplay. Romance can easily stand alone, but with an amazing, involved plot and winning comedy, it becomes romance with wings. An adventurous, witty, action-packed reverse harem rom com where the biggest search leads to the biggest gain; men or treasure, you pick.
With an evolving, advancing, moving setting, Dakota’s search can be likened to a book lover’s hunt where the next story might make or break the thrill of the long and hard-won wait. Her search for a relic is an itch to scratch with the mother of all backscratchers. I needed more than on man’s love right now, and Cassie Cole pairs love in threes so well.
Content Warning: A few sex scenes (some taboo, some multiple partner situation). Profanity advises to watch your step for those f bombs. Mentions cancer.

Awesome treasure hunt adventure!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙🖤💜❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘📔
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌍🌎
Character development: 😟🤭☺️🥰😘
The heroine: Dakota - she is an archeologist, well technically she is a historical sociologist and is looking for a relic that she had been searching for, for years and her mother before her had searched for most of her life. It is the crown of Ghengis Khan called the Khan Diadem, given to Khan by the King of Georgia in 1223, to try to get on his good side. Dakota’s mother was a real-life version of Indiana Jones who died of cancer not long ago and her prize possession was a map that traced the places and times in history the Khan Diadem was last seen.
The Heroes: Roman, Wade and Luke - Roman is treasure hunter, though he tells Dakota when he meets her one night in a bar that he is an insurance claims salesman. She believes him and they hook-up, but she later finds the truth and that is after he sees her map and gets a jump on where the relic might be. Wade and Luke are former Navy Seals who now work on mercenary contracts. They answer an add posted by Dakota for a job that should last a few weeks.
The Story: - Roman and Dakota find out that the relic might have been on an island that is nearly uninhabited, and the local government doesn’t like outsiders, so if she goes there, she should bring some security. Dakota does some research and finds that the island is home to 20-100 semi-modern inhabitants that are armed and hostile. So, Dakota hires Wade and Luke to protect her and help her find the relic that is so important to her.
I have to say, when I first picked up a reverse harem romance from this author yesterday called Snowbound, I was surprised at the detail in the story, and I liked it enough to try another from the same author. This story is even better, and I just love the adventure of the hunt for this ancient relic. It was much better than I expected and there is still plenty of reverse-harem steam as well.
I loved the fact that the further the group went on this treasure hunt for the Khan Diadem, the more they found out about the fact that it is quite possibly cursed. Since everyone that ever had it seemed to suffer in some terrible ways. Though Dakota kept insisting she didn’t believe in curses, even she started to wonder. It made the story so much more exciting. They traveled from place to place all over the world in this treasure hunt and it was quite the fascinating story.

This just wasn’t giving. All of the characters fell flat, there wasn’t a good balance between plot and romance, plus, the chemistry fell majorly short. This made the time pass by but not much else. I really disliked both Dakota and Roman which played a major part in this not being the one for me.
Oh well.
Oh well.

This was a pretty great experience. Good characters, a fun plot, and believable growth.
It’s not perfect. Dakota’s conflict with Roman is extremely silly.
But it’s a small issue in an otherwise fun, action-packed book. It inspired great visuals, had charming side characters, excellent banter, great guys with clearly defined voices, and felt well-researched. I associate this author with contemporary RH stories in tamer settings, with considerably less collapsing ancient tombs. But it was a pleasant change of pace I would be happy to recommend to anyone looking for Indiana Jones/Lara Croft, but make it RH.

If you like a lot of adventure, suspense, danger and a bit of some hot sex this is your book. This is definitely a Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft type of book so, there is a great deal of historical information as well to keep you intrigued with Dakota, Roman, Luke and Wade's mission. I'll admit there a sections that are slow moving but, that is compensated by some of the nail biting bits that wholeheartedly engages you. I think the story does builds too quickly between Dakota and the men - like a frenzied need to sexually engage with them as soon as she is with each of them. However, once the initial (independent) intimacy between them occurs, there is more of an emotional and caring development between each man and Dakota. The reverse harem aspect of the story evolves steadily and in a more evenly paced evolvement which, leads to a very successful happy ending.

I loved every minute of this fantastic story! I didn't want to put the story down. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I love reading anything by Cassie Cole. She is becoming one of my go to authors for amazing action-packed stories.
Dakota is on the hunt for a priceless crown, Khan Diadem given to Genghis Khan before his death. She has an amazing night with Roman who she met at a bar one night. She didn't realize that they were looking for the same thing the next morning. They part ways that morning but keep meeting up. She hires Luke and Wade to help protect her on her travels to find the Khan Diadem. All four join forces to find it. Will they be able to find it and discover something more special?

The subtitle is clickbait. On Amazon, it says, "A Military Reverse Harem Romance," but the guys are ex-military -- former SEALs. I suppose that is nitpicking, but I was extremely confused when we were introduced to Roman first and he had no military connection whatsoever. And then along came Luke and Wade, who are mercenaries for hire.
This book is really more like 3.5 but I rounded down. I liked Luke, but Wade's joking talkativeness was annoying (even Dakota found it annoying and commented on it frequently!). As for Roman, I never felt like I had a good grasp of his personality.
I stopped reading at the end of chapter 31 (64%) and skipped to chapter 41 to read the last 5 chapters. I was getting a bit bored. It's hard to balance action and relationships at the same time, and the action -- hunting for an archaeological artefact -- was not very absorbing. They got out of every difficulty much too easily, so I never felt like they were in any real danger or trouble.
With the guys, it was mostly just sex, not much discussion of feelings or of who they were, their pasts, their hopes and dreams for the future. What I mean to say is, I didn't really see them getting to know each other. I was also really bothered by zero mention of birth control. It appears she takes the men bareback, and these are guys she doesn't know from Adam -- how would she know that they're clean?
I also felt that Luke and Wade were not very professional. They were employed to do a job, but they didn't seem to worry that adding sex or emotions into the mix might distract them or cause complications in doing their job. Plus, their eagerness to let this scenario continue was a bit baffling... like, wouldn't it chafe at their pride? Since they're former SEALs, who are supposed to be alpha males? To me, it's hard to have a relationship if your partner is also your employer. There are all sorts of boundaries to negotiate and it's kinda tricky. So I was just like... hmmm I don't see how that's going to work.
Roman's backstory doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. He says he got into the military right out of high school and was discharged at 29, then spent five years in the archaeology field "clawing his way into relevance". I was confused because he calls himself an archaeologist, and to me, that's a title you earn by studying archeology and obtaining paper qualifications, not just being a treasure hunter.
We're never told why he chose to pursue archeology or treasure-hunting, especially when he doesn't seem to have as much funds as Dakota and he says that he's always worried he could just be one step away from bankruptcy if he fails to make any big discoveries. Is he just motivated by the money? Cos there are much easier ways to make money...
I wasn't very impressed with Dakota. For someone whose mother had taught her so much, she was constantly being tripped up and shown up by Roman for not doing enough background research. She's so capable, yet in this aspect she just wasn't careful enough and wasn't thorough. It was very odd.
She also had so much money that I got the impression her way of solving problems was to throw money at them. She was a little too cavalier in her handling of money; as if she took it for granted and never thought she might run out of funds one day. It just didn't sit right with me.
Overall, it's a decent book but it just couldn't hold my attention.

This book is a archaeologist, treasure hunt, adventure, reverse harem. And I was living for this!! It didn't have as much romance as I thought it was going to have, but it made me feel like I was in a treasure hunting movie and it was a blast. The plot was on point! So if you want a plot with a little bit of a reverse harem than this book is for you. I had a lot of fun with this one.

OMG! This story deserves 10 stars!
I have to say, this is one of the 10 best books that I have ever read and I read ALOT! If you mix Indiana Jones, Laura Croft, National Treasure and RH, together, it would be ALMOST as good as this. The story is fan-freaking-tastic! The characters couldn't have been any better! There was 95% story and 5% hotness. I can't tell you how much I loved this story. My poor husband had to listen to random bursts of laughter. I couldn't put this book down. I loved how there was the linguist who was from Tennessee, who could speak just about any language with a Tennessee accent (I live in TN).
Dakota is following in her famous mother's archaeologist footsteps. She went with her mother on many adventures and there was on that she wanted to finish for her mother after she passed away. She has followed one lead after another, and has met some interesting men along the way. When she was going to speak with a 90+ year old gentleman about his years during WWII, she picked up a guy at the bar and brought him to her hotel room. He needed a bed to sleep in anyway. When she woke up, he was gone. She went to the library to interview the gentleman when she ran into Roman again. She realized that he was after the same prize, and he played her. He also got a photo of her mother's map of where the artifact has been over the past 750 years. He offered to partner up, but she works alone. She also didn't trust him. She hired a couple mercenaries, one being a linguist too. They follow that clue, to another clue, to another clue, to another. Along the way, she develops feelings for the two mercenaries that she hires.
Roman is a treasure hunter who started with little to nothing to his name. He now has created and earned a name for himself as an expert treasure hunter. When he came across Dakota at a bar, he couldn't believe his luck to have finally meet her and they had an instant attraction. He offered to partner up, which he hasn't done before, but he didn't want to leave her. They ran into each other in the middle of the Pacific, where he may have landed there first, but she knew to bring gifts to the inhabitants. Then he sent Homeland Security after them when they landed in Hawaii, and saved their backsides in Alaska. From there they finally partnered up.
Wayne and Luke were former SEALS and were now mercenaries for hire when they got this priority hire. Luke would have done it for free when he saw who was hiring them. Luke was huge, tall and muscles on muscles and didn't talk much. He left that to Wayne. Wayne was from Tennessee but he could speak and read just about any language. Wayne was quick with a joke and had to joke on any guy that was around. He fell hard for Dakota and would follow her to the end of the world, but only for one hour in radioactive Chernobyl. Luke has had a crush on Dakota for many years after watching her mother and one episode with her on it. He has been silently stalking her, to keep tabs on her, not crazy stalker like. He would give his life for her.

Action - Adventure - Comedy - Sweet - Surprising twist
POV: multiple
HUMOR: yes
F BOMBS: yes
STANDALONE: yes
NEW AUTHOR FOR ME: no
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: graphic sexy times, MFM, backdoor play
CHARACTERS: Dakota (female Indiana Jones) and former SEALs: charming Roman, talks-a-lot Wade, and quiet Luke
OVERALL: Exciting Adventures - Funny - Recommend
PROS:
1. Kept me interested from page 1 to the end

6. If you love Indiana Jones like I do, you'll love this (one scene reminiscent of Last Crusade)
CONS:
1. The sexy times with each man were kept a secret from the others (not that they needed to be aired out loud, but two of the guys were long time friends, roommates, and served together - almost felt like a bit of betrayal in trust when it was obvious both liked the same girl)
2. Felt like she had more chemistry/favored one guy over the others

First of all, it's not a military romance. The guys are ex-SEALs so they were at one point military, but are no longer. So if that's what you're looking for, then you will be disappointed when you read this one. I don't specifically care for the military in general (oops!) and I don't care for military romances in particular, but when I'm feeling a more action-packed book that's a little less dark, these tend to do the trick.
I liked the Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones vibes of this book and enjoyed getting a little bit of that mystery while we also had the romance. Although, I'd use 'romance' pretty loosely since the characters end up in love, but there's really no relationship growth or buildup to that in a way that makes sense given the circumstances.
The plot is decent but a little stilted with the pacing at times, and the dialogue between the characters is unrealistic and awkward at moments.
All in all, it did what it wanted to do and it was okay.
Wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this book but I definitely didn't hate it.

Awesome Book!!!
I absolutely loved reading Sealed With A Kiss!!! All about Dakota Bettiker a women in her early thirties is an Historical Archeologist & Roman who is thirty-four and Sociologist Archeologist and Luke & Wade who are both thirty-four and hired Mercenaries. They are searching the world for a thirteen century crown of jewels. It’s dangerous work, and you need hired guns and deep pockets to be successful! Read about Dakota, Roman, Luke and Wade and see if they are successful in finding this treasure!! This was a page turner from page one till the last page, and I enjoyed reading all about Treasure Hunting in the 21st century!! There are tons of emotions running throughout the pages including some toe curling encounters!!! A definite read!!!

Good book
I enjoyed reading this book. There a ton of action that feels a lot like Indiana Jones meet Lora Croft. The adventure of trying to locate a Genghis Khan artifact was fun and I enjoyed them following the clues as they discovered them. This is more action than romance but the romance parts were good too. I liked Dakota with each of her 3 men. This was lower on steam than the other 3 books I’ve read of hers. And only one scene with her and her 3 guys. I would call this a treasure hunting book more so than a reverse harem book. The story was well written and I recommend this book.

3.5: Dakota is an archaeologist who is after a treasure that her mom started to look for before she died of cancer. She shares a night with Roman and later finds out he is looking for the same treasure. She hires Wade and Luke as mercenaries to accompany her around the world looking for the treasure.
Very action packed and felt like an Indiana Jones movie, but I didn’t connect with the characters as much. I didn’t read the bonus scene because I don’t care that much.
I did like it, but don’t want to rate it as high as other books I’ve read by this author.

it was a good book, a fairytale but good.
i liked the humour and the devotion of guys to dakota and lack of drama in the romance department. also the plot was original and made me want to rewatch indiana jones.
my only complain is the poor edit. sometimes the description was inconsistent: suddenly they didn’t have any clothes between them but then they were getting their pants off and stuff like that. also the lack of contraception talk made this book very unreal.
sometimes dakota was getting on my nerves with her goal to get the diadem.

Adventure great story
I loved the exciting story line. I think this story focused a bit more on the Adventure and a little less on the relationship between the Seals and their treasure huntress. It could almost be a series of its own tales of the Treasure Huntress. I would have liked a bit more about their physical and emotional bond but it was very good... I'd give it a few more stars because I loved the whole topic. 8********

A great adventure story with an RH twist.
Cassie has done it again. Another good RH with lots of adventure along the way. If you like Indiana Jones or Laura Fort (even better if you like both) then your gonna love this story. The ending was sweet and heartfelt at the same time. It hit home for me as I share a common thread with the FMC of the book. Don't want to say what and give any spoilers away.
Hope others enjoy the story as much as I did.

Hot!
First book from this author, but definitely not my last! And she's just down the road... gotta support locally. Engaging read from start to finish, lots of fun and adventure mixed with super sexy characters. If you want a book that makes you push chores to side for the sake of reading... Cassie has got you. Now that I finished my first book I have a pile of laundry waiting before I start my next adventure. 😅

I enjoyed this fast paced trip around the world for Dakota and the 3 ex military guys helping her to find a missing artefact to fulfill her mother’s dream. Dakota is an archeologist as is Roman the ex seal with their hired muscle Wade and Luke and they have great adventures trying to track down the cursed crown of Genghis Khan and getting to know each other much better

The best Cassie Cole book I’ve read. I love reading historical fiction and this totally fits it- add in some sexy moments and it’s literally the perfect book for me. Really cool with all the traveling and detailed information from history. The action was great and I liked how the RH aspect wasn’t the focus.
A mother-daughter bond through archaeology!
Ps- I’m a sucker for archaeology too!

More Treasure Hunter Than Military
This is an adorable stand-alone with lots of steam and a fun treasure hunting plot line. There are former SEALs as part of her harem but they aren't active duty. All and all, a great afternoon read.

Sealed with a kiss
Really loved the story of the hunt for the artifacts. It was a fun and interesting puzzle of finding the treasure they were looking for. The relationships were also interesting!
