Enlisting the help of the wedding planner, he has a hell of a bachelor party planned. While trying unsuccessfully to keep his hands off the wedding planner, he’s in charge of a party … charge of a party complete with a stripper popping out of a cake. What could possibly go wrong?
What can go wrong will, at the worst possible moment
Casey Wesson promised the bride, the groom and a potential client that she’s an expert and can manage a wedding beautifully. Her friend is counting on her, the groom trusts her, and her business depends on this wedding going off without a hitch.

****Hot SEAL, Bachelor Party: A Brotherhood Protectors Crossover Novel (SEALs in Paradise)
5 stars
I received a free copy of the steamy novel Hot SEAL, Bachelor Party: A Brotherhood Protectors Crossover Novel (SEALs in Paradise): Rooster and Casey by Elle James, and this review was given freely.
Suspenseful and action-packed with some violence and a touch of humor but ultimately ends happily for two couples with a little help from SEAL Team 3, the Brotherhood Protectors led by Hank and two strong-willed females. This is an ironic instant attraction romance taking place a few months after Hawaiian Nights and starts two days prior to Hawk and Kalea’s wedding at Hawk’s bachelor party in McP’s Irish Pub near Coronado, California. Minutes after Hawk’s best man, the Navy SEAL Jacob “Rooster” Fowler affirms his plans to continue in the SEALs and as a bachelor, he meets Kalea’s best friend, the feisty and assertive wedding planner Casey Wesson who piques his interest through her commanding organization but threatens his heart with her selfless ways.
While each novel in the series can be read separately, they are best if read in order as the order is chronological.
Hot SEAL, Bachelor Party has it all: humor, action, tension, romance. Elle James never fails to deliver the goods!
It’s Hawk and Kalea’s wedding starting with the bachelor party. Casey, Kalea’s best friend is a wedding planner and has thought of everything to make things run smoothly from beginning to end. She even comes up with the perfect fix for when the stripper hired to jump out of the cake calls in sick. A wig and heavy make-up should do the trick. Plenty of fun and laughter as the cake proves to be flawed and she falls out of it onto Jacob.
Even though he’s figured out who the ‘stripper’ is Jacob couldn’t deny his duty to the bride as Hawk tries to leave the party alone.
Apparently no one ever told Casey to never ask the question “What could go wrong?” and go wrong it does. Starting with a missing groom the morning after the bachelor party.
With Hank Patterson showing up to attend the wedding, the investigation gets into full swing. With Jacob and Casey following some leads. One thing they didn’t do right away was tell Kalea. She isn’t going to be pleased.
Crazy is an understatement as Hank assembles a team to go after Hawk.
Laughter, fun, tears, action and heat as Casey and Jacob search for clues and find love in the process.
I know I’m going to love all the books in this Hot SEAL set.
This was an excellent book and of course Wolf and other teams are in here. First I have to say I loved Casey. She’s more than she appears and funny to boot. Hawk and Kalea are trying to get married when a crazy ex woman he had a one night or two stand with thought she belonged to him. When he’s kidnapped things get interesting. Action, steam and surprises to go around. HEA
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Hot SEAL, Bachelor Party is book 1 in the new series SEALs of Paradise, Weddings and part of the ongoing series Brotherhood Protectors by Elle James.

Hot, steamy night with the best man, missing groom, kidnapping, disguises and so much more!
Can’t wait for more books in both series!
I got a copy of this book through BookFunnel and I voluntarily chose to review it. Elle James is a favorite author of mine. I know when I get a book written by her it will be a great one. This one is well written with awesome characters. Of course I love men in uniform stories then you throw in a little suspense that makes it a winner in my book. I don’t do spoilers so get this book to find out what I am talking about. This one will make you realize love at first site can happen. I do encourage everyone to get this one. It is awesome!!!!
Navy SEAL, Jacob “Rooster” Fowler, has two jobs…make sure the groom doesn’t get a lap dance at the bachelor party and get the groom to his wedding on time. What could go wrong?
Casey, the wedding planner and bride’s best friend, wants everything to go perfectly. She’s a perfectionist and she’s also trying to win a new client. But you know what they say about best laid plans…It all starts to unravel at the bachelor party. The stripper doesn’t show and the back up is also sick. So Casey steps in as the stripper thinking, “how bad can it be”? A malfunctioning fake cake, an outfit that’s a little too small, a stalker, a kidnapper, and a cartel! Even the best wedding planner in the world doesn’t “plan” on a kidnapper.
Suspenseful, riveting, a page-turner, romantic, and witty. Usually the first novel in the series is the best, but I thought this one was even better than the first one! The rescue scene, the wedding….LOVED both! Very descriptive and fairly realistic. I also enjoyed the Brotherhood Protectors stepping in to assist. It’s nice to see the characters from Elle’s series step in to assist a friend and fellow SEAL. I highly recommend this novel! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
This book is not only part of the Hot Seals series but it crosses into the Brotherhood protector series as well
Casey Wesson is a wedding planner and with her best friend Kalea Parkman marrying brotherhood protector member Jace “Hawk” Hawkens she sees a opportunity to promote her business and stop he friend from having a quick Las Vegas wedding. So she and the best man Jacob “Rooster” Fowler a still active navy seal have two jobs make sure the bachelor party goes off well and make sure the groom makes it to the wedding. They both managed the bachelor party in fact it went so well they allowed themselves the time to have a steamy night together but the next morning when they go to get the groom he is missing someone has kidnapped him. Can they rescue him in time to save the wedding with the help of the team or will the wedding be a disaster You will have to read to see
Elle James has an absolute “don’t interrupt me while I read this or I’ll hurt you” book with Hot SEAL Bachelor Party. Rooster & Casey don’t quite hit it off at first. She’s the wedding planner for Hawk & Kalea and he’s the best man who she’s giving no nonsense directions to so everything goes off without a hitch. Except there is a hitch, first with the bachelor party entertainment then when the groom is abducted. I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s basically nonstop action and I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely recommend this for a great read!!
4.5*****stars So…what do a best man and a wedding planner have in common? Get the groom to the wedding! Seals have some pranks about getting the groom drunk and sending him to a remote spot. Bad boys! Jacob and Casey clash from the beginning. Working together is going to be difficult. Events at the bachelor party are not going according to the plan with last minute cancellations and a drug cartel connected lovesick stalker. Yep! The groom disappears… but, hey, you are dealing with the Navy’s finest, Seals. They have a mission to find their missing Brother. If you are looking for a fun book with lots of lovin’, action and drama, this is it! It grabs you from the beginning and keeps you going til the end. Well written and very enjoyable!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
Sizzle and steam, romance, action, suspense, a wedding, a crazy stalker, and hot Navy SEALS……..what more could you ask for in a book?! Casey, the wedding planner, and Jacob, hot Navy SEAL, are instantly attracted to each other and have a wild ride on their romantic journey. An enjoyable read.
It’s always good when a big, strong guy, who thinks that love isn’t for him, falls so hard. And a woman who swears she will never date a SEAL also falls hard. Jacob is Hawk’s best man. He has two jobs. Get Hawk back to the hotel after the bachelor party and get him to the church on time. Jacob got him to the hotel, but someone kidnapped him. Casey is the bride’s best friend and wedding planner. She has everything ready to go. Everyone has to do their part and all will be well. Then the groom disappears. As Casey and Jacob look for him, they get help from team members and Hank. They will get him to the church on time or die trying.
Hot SEAL, Bachelor Party is a fantastic romantic suspense by Elle James. Ms. James has created a book that is well-written and populated it with an all-star cast. Jacob is a Navy SEAL and tasked with getting his friend Hawk to the church on time for his wedding. Casey is the wedding planner and best friend of the bride. When the groom disappears while across the hall from Jacob and Casey they are ready to jump into action and find him. Casey and Jacob’s story is loaded with drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading Hot SEAL, Bachelor Party and look forward to my next book by Elle James. This book is part of the Brotherhood Protectors Series and SEALs in Paradise Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
When Casey Wesson convinced her best friend to let her plan the wedding, and to marry in San Diego, she couldn’t have known her friend’s fiance had a crazy stalker. Jacob “Rooster” Fowler is the grooms best man, his instructions from the wedding planner are simple. Make sure the groom stays out of trouble at the bachelor party, and to get him to the church on time for the wedding.
Fascinating, and sometimes funny read with sexy, well written and unique characters. Unexpected, and surprising twists in the plot with a couple of happily ever afters. I loved it!
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.
Jacob’s job is to get the groom to the church on time. Couldn’t be simpler right? Well we have a stalker some bad guys. We have Casey and the bride Kalea who can handle anything that gets throwed at them. We have Seal Team 3 and Brotherhood Protectors led by Hank What more could you ask for. We have drama, romance, and humor you won’t be disappointed!
So enjoyed this book. Having the gang all together plenty of action, heat, heart and some humor. Casey is one strong lady and Jacob has definitely met his match. One I think you will definitely enjoy. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
Love this series and this book was no exception.
Hot SEALS and other men in uniform, bad guys, kidnapping, crazy stalker and a wedding. What more could you want? This is a tale where the wedding planner goes above and beyond for her job. Great characters and wonderful story line. Brilliant glued-to-your-kindle type book, I highly recommend this author.
I started reading this book and devoured it in one sitting. It was fun, funny, sexy, romantic, and full of action.
I loved that both ladies in this book, Casey and Kalea, were so self sufficient. At first I thought, “Didn’t they are this coming?”. They may not have seen it coming, but they handled it!
There is a crazy stalker, a case of instalove, a rescue op, and an HEA. From the beginning of the bachelor party that Casey coordinated down to the last detail, to the attraction between Jacob and Casey, to the search, the team rallying, to the final page, it was at a non-stop pace, and so much fun.
