BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Cocktail parties, political fundraisers, and charity events are Maddy Powers’ way of life. But the daring man who appropriated her father’s yacht a couple of months ago is still out there, somewhere, and she wants to pay him back for the scorching kiss they shared.
Behind his suave smile and ladykiller eyes, Bran Palladino carries a dark secret that keeps him from pursuing Maddy… even though he can’t get her out of his head. But when Maddy is kidnapped as part of a grand scheme, it’s time to put up or shut up… because Bran can’t live without Maddy now.
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts Devil and the Deep is book two in Ms. Walker’s Deep Six series. In Devil and the Deep we pick up a few months after the events from book one Hell or High Water. These books are connected but I think you will be okay if you have not read book one (but you should 🙂 ).
We get to catch up with Bran and Maddy in Devil in the Deep. These two have been keeping in touch via emails. But now Maddy is going to be in Bran’s neck of the woods and she has invited him to come visit her. Little did she know how important that invite would turn out to be.
Bran has been fighting his feelings for Maddy since the moment he met her. But when Bran lands on the island where Maddy is and sees a gun pointed at her he snaps just a little.
This was a fun book. I enjoyed watching Bran and Maddy finally realize just how good they are together. I also really enjoyed the interaction between Mason & Alex (can’t wait for this story).
I can’t wait to see what is next in this series. But I do hope that there is not another kidnapping scheme.

Great review! I just finished reading it in the early hours this morning. I had not read the 1st book, but plan to do so soon! IF I had, I may have vested quicker in Bran’s & Maddy’s story. I was captivated by the background story of the search for the pirate loot on Wayfarer Isle and how the story of men long ago passed is interwoven into the present day. LOL! I love pirate tales.
