Michel’s Review

The sexy Deep Six team is back and they are doing more than treasure hunting.  This group of former SEALS left their military careers behind for a less dangerous lifestyle.  They would of never imagined that they would experience the same kind of action they saw in the military.  This time around it’s not a mission, this is their personal lives  that are being threatened. They are in deep and their greatest treasure may not be found at the bottom of the ocean but within arms reach.

Texas Oil heiress, Maddy Powers, is more than a spoiled debutant.  She is a quick witted, self sufficient, intelligent woman.  She’d rather watch a good movie instead of hob knobbing with the socialites in her world.  She is taking three teenage scholarship recipients on a camping trip to the Dry Torgugas to explore the old Civil War fort on Garden Key.  What should of been a fun, low key camping trip turns into a deadly adventure.  Gunmen have stormed the island and she is left to defend three teenage girls with a young park ranger not much older than the girls.  Why are these men on this remote island?  She’s hoping that Bran Pallidino is going to take up her invitation and save the day.

Bran Pallidino was a Navy Seal for good reasons.  It helped him control his own personal demons.  Now that he is out of the military he has to keep those demons buried beneath the surface.  He doesn’t do relationships for this reason.  When his budding friendship with Maddy Powers is starting to bloom, he’s ready to cut ties and run.  There’s something about Maddy that keeps him from doing it.  Against his better judgement he’s going to sail down to the Dry Tortugas for a visit.  He’s bringing along mouthy Alex, the grad student on their treasure hunting team and his closed mouth, teammate Mason.  These two are like oil and water but a good buffer between him and Maddy.  When they arrive at Garden Key, it’s in the middle of gunfire.  He and Mason’s instincts and Seal training kick in.

Bran and Mason are going into this mission blind.  Who’s trying to kill Maddy and her three charges?  What do they want?

Between the battles with the bad guys, three nosy teenagers, a love stricken park ranger, Alex’s mouth, and no communications, Bran is in deep.  He doesn’t have to worry about keeping Maddy at arms length.  Maddy has other ideas.  Bran may protest but Maddy is determined to capture his heart.

Julie Ann Walker once again wrote an exciting adventure loaded with red hot romance, laugh out loud humor, larger than life characters, and edge of your seat danger around every corner. I loved how she tied the wreck of the Santa Cristina and Captain Bartolome Vargas sea log into the story.  These sexy Seals of the Deep Six team may never find the Santa Cristina at the rate they are going.  They are finding a treasure greater than all the gold at the bottom of the sea.  They are finding love.

Michel’s Review

Ready for a great new series?  Ready for six smoking hot retired Navy Seals?  Want to search for treasures in the deep deep sea?  Looking for an action packed adventure that keeps you glued to the pages?  If you said yes to all of these you are in for a treat with the new Deep Six series by Julie Ann Walker.

The book starts out with the lore of the Santa Cristina’s wreck in the 1600’s.  It was one of the wealthiest cargos lost at sea during a hurricane.  Treasure hunters have been searching for the lost treasure for centuries.

Leo “the lion” Anderson and five crazy assed Seals waved their farewells to the Navy in order to join the quest  for high seas adventure and untold riches.  After fifteen years of service and a tremendous loss they are ready to embrace their new adventurous life.  They have invested their life savings and future hopes on finding this lost treasure.  Treasure hunting is not cheap.  The ship, the equipment, and the cost of operating this equipment has depleted most of their funds.  Their investment and research has to pay off soon or they are going to lose it all.  As we all know Seals are resilient.  They can survive the worst of conditions and succeed.  Finding the Santa Cristina is another impossible mission that they plan to execute with complete success.

When CIA agent Olvia Mortier approaches them with a bag full of cash and a basically easy mission it’s a no brainer for them.  All they have to do is retrieve a “lost ” package in the deep sea for the CIA.  They have been trained for this type of retrieval and the risk seem very low.  They have worked with Olivia in the past and know that she is on the level and a good agent.

What starts out as an easy retrieval will turn into a FUBAR mission.  In one day’s time, they will lose their ship, battle terrorist, rescue an heiress,expose a mole in the CIA, and save the world.  Yup… easy mission.

Olivia and Leo flirted with an attraction when they worked on a previous mission in Syria.  That mission is the reason why Leo’s team resigned from the Navy to pursue civilian life.  He has not forgot the beautiful agent that touched his soul.  When she shows up offering a load of cash he not only sees the money but also sees the opportunity to settle some unfinished business with Olivia in the sexiest way.

Olivia has questioned her career choices since her assignment in Syria.  Some harsh truths about who she was and what she wanted out of life surfaced after that mission.  She was weighing the losses and the gains, as well as her role in it all.  She has not forgotten the sexy Seal that made her desire more from life than being a good agent.  Seeing Leo again may help her put her life in perspective.

Not only are they going on an adventure in the high seas.  They are going to find the greatest treasure of all.  They are going to find love.

Hell Or High Water was a great debut for the Deep Six series.  We were introduced to six very sexy retired Seals.  Each of these men has very unique personalities and stories.  We were introduced to a sexy heiress, a sassy CIA agent, and a nutty professor.  Together all of these unique characters are going to come together and search for the lost treasure from the Santa Cristina.  Along the way they are going to find other adventures that are going to keep the reader glued to the pages.  I can’t wait for the next adventure of the Deep Six.
