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.
