DEVIL AND THE DEEP is the second book in The Deep Six
Series
by Julie Ann Walker about former Seals who now run a
salvaging
operation looking for sunken treasure. This one had me
laughing so hard until I had tears running. Some of the
phrases used and the conversations shared between the
couples
will have you rolling with laughter. Then of course the
sexual heat and tension are sizzling which Julie Ann
Walker
always knows how to deliver. Along with the sexual heat
there
is also heart stopping action where lives are at risk.
The
phrase "once a Seal always a Seal" rings true when you see
all
of the action these guys deliver. This is a story that
proves
genetics does not define or make you into the person you
become.
Madison "Maddy" Powers never forgot the sizzling kiss that
Bran Pallidino gave her after rescuing her from a
kidnapping
attempt on her father's yacht. Once again Bran along with
his
teammate Mason will rescue Maddy along with her three
teenage
charges from a kidnapping attempt. What they assumed to
be a
kidnapping/ransom attempt turns out to be much more
sinister
with a devastating discovery. Even though there is no
doubt
about the chemistry between Maddy and Bran it's hard for
Bran
to see a possibility of anything lasting between them.
Because of his family background it's hard for him to
accept
any possibility of his life being different from what his
parents had. Maddy and Bran agreed to enjoy each other
and
afterwards they would be friends. They both later realize
and
admit that they want much more.
This is a story filled with humor and sizzling chemistry.
Bran comes from a dark and devastating background. But
with
the help of Maddy and his Seal buddies he finally
understands
that his parents' background does not determine his
future. I
hope that the next story in Deep Six will be about Mason
(with
the one word answers) and Alex (the walking encyclopedia).
As
hilarious as DEVIL IN THE DEEP is I can't begin to imagine
what Julie Ann Walker will do with Mason and Alex.
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?
