"DEVIL AND THE DEEP reads like a block-buster film."

Returning with the second installment in the Deep Six
series, Julie Ann
Walker thrills and excites with DEVIL AND THE DEEP. Possibly
one of the
more interesting Romantic Suspense I've read, Walker follows
Bran Palladino
as he undergoes a rescue mission to retrieve the one woman
he can't seem
to forget. Maddy Powers' life is filled with charity events and
fundraisers but since that
moment Bran and her shared a kiss, her life has gotten so
much more
complicated. Although you can read this book as a
standalone, I would
highly suggest reading the first book in the series. There
we get a little bit
more about Bran and Maddy, plus readers will become more
acquainted with
the legend of Santa Cristina to create a fuller reading
experience. DEVIL AND THE DEEP read like a movie. If you're a fan of action
comedy films, then I
think you will absolutely love Walker's writing style. She
combines the high-octane suspense with a heady dose of her
trademark humor.
The jokes and
the non-stop bantering happen throughout the novel and for
me, it is both
the greatest strength and weakness of the book. The
lightheartness of the
book is what sets Walker's books apart from others in the
genre. But I will
also say that it works as a double-edged sword because too
much of it can
affect the pacing as well. So while I do think it is an
essential part to Walker's
writing, there were some moments where I think it became too
much. Nevertheless, the entire premise of this series is unlike
anything I've
encountered in Romantic Suspense and for that reason alone,
I think you
should give this series a shot. DEVIL AND THE DEEP will
certainly have
readers panting for more!
SUMMARY
The former SEALs of The Deep Six return in a sizzling series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker.
A COVERT MISSION
Maddy Powers's life revolves around cocktail parties, political fundraisers, and charity events - but she can't forget the daring former SEAL who appropriated her father's yacht a few months ago ... or the scorching kiss they shared before he disappeared into the deep blue sea.
SPARKS A FLAMING DESIRE
Bran Pallidino carries a dark secret behind his lady-killer eyes - one that keeps him from pursuing a serious relationship with Maddy. But when she's taken hostage during a trip to the Dry Tortugas, the men of Deep Six Salvage drop their treasure hunt for a sunken galleon and embark on a dangerous mission to save Maddy.
WITH EARTH-SHATTERING REPERCUSSIONS
As they fight her merciless kidnappers, they discover this isn't a simple hostage situation, but something far more sinister. Passion boils between Bran and Maddy, but what good is putting their hearts on the line if they don't survive the dawn?
