Great book and series! I've only read this book and the prequel to this series and while I feel they should probably be read in order you definitely don't have to! This book had everything! It's filled with plenty of action, tons of suspense and is 🔥🔥🔥!! I'm definitely going back and reading the rest of the books that are out! I highly recommend this book and series!! It's well worth the read! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Julie Ann Walker is a guilty pleasure author for me - and this follows through as one of her standard/satisfying thriller-romances. I forgot how she pulls you in with the tease of the other romances...and I can't believe I'll have to wait god-knows how long for the Wolf/Chrissy romance, because I enjoyed those characters even more than the main characters. This was not my favorite by her, (I read all 12 of the Black Knights books) but I really appreciated how short the antagonist POVs were. In previous books I would just skip them but fortunately they were shorter and to the point, which I much prefer.

Another fantastic addition to this series. It was so worth the wait!! What a great group of characters - even though they are fictional, they feel so real. Loved everything about it and especially loved the tug between Alex and Mason and seeing him finally succumb to his feelings.

I really want to know what happens with Chrissy and Wolf and hope I don’t have to wait four years for their story.

If you haven’t read the Deep Six series, go get book one now so you are caught up when this one releases. In my opinion, this should not be read as a stand alone but should be read in order. You definitely need the backstory.

Thank you #netgalley and #sourcebookscasablanca for this eARC.

I’m about half way through reading this title. So far it lives up to the others in this series. I love this story so far and the interaction between the characters. I have read all of Julie Ann Walkers books and they are always exciting and the love stories are sweet and sexy. Mason and Alex are characters that come to life in this story. I recommend this book and her other books to anyone looking for another great authors.

OH GOD, this writer has the guy being from boston, and is being pretty good subtly spiking his conversation with bostonisms, references to Big Papi, Dunkins, etc etc, but I think maybe they should have done a LITTLE googling before using the term Jimmies to refer to condoms because wow, things were looking to be getting a little too kinky when he went to get the jimmies from the picnic basket.

Alex is a PhD historian helping a salvage crew locate a lost centuries-old Spanish treasure ship. Mason is a ex-SEAL and part of the salvage team. But bad guys are gunning for Mason and the team. Alex is in love with Mason but he can’t overcome the notion that his military service has changed him, he’ll never be normal and no one can love him. And then the bad guys stricke. Will Alex ever get through to Mason?
The novel’s humor and thrill gives Suzanne Brockmann a run for her money. It made me laugh out loud at times. It was an action packed thriller at times gripping and at times steamy and dreamy. The cast fo characters was deep and richly well drawn. The humor was quirky and engaging and the thrilling parts were gripping.
I would recommend this book to my patrons.

I LOVED this book. I love the writing and the characters. I think Alex is one of my new favorite characters. She is tough, goes after what she wants and is kinda nerdy at times. Loved it. Really enjoyed all the back and forth between her and Mason. No spoilers but it is a must read.

There were a number of grammatical & spelling errors, which I presume will be rectified with the final edit.

I enjoyed the story and, having reread the series prior to starting this one (due to the long time frame between this and book 2) found that it flowed nicely. The characters in focus were well rounded and had a good climb to "success". Presuming that Wolf & Chrissy will be next and I can't wait!

Thank you for letting me read Ride the Tide early. I haven't read a book by Julie Ann Walker in a while. He books take you on an amazing adventure. Alexis she knows just the right thing to say to Mason to get his attention. Danger lurks everywhere.

Romantic suspense - and ongoing treasure hunt - great personalities? Check, Check, and check! This is a very fun read with some great characters. I probably shouldn't have started with this one - and because of that I probably didn't appreciate the characters the way I could have - but I didn't need to read the other books to understand what was happening.

Mason is one of a group of retired navy seals working on finding a lost treasure in the Florida keys. This is definitely a case of finding a chosen family. These guys are closer than close and support each other through everything. Mason has been through a nasty divorce and has a lot of PTSD related baggage that he carries with him. Alex is young, cute, very very smart, and a virgin. She has offered up her virginity to Mason and he has declined to take her up on that offer.

That along with the developing relationship between anther of the SEALS (Wolf) and Chrissy is the running theme through out the book. Mason doesn't want to start anything with Alex because he doesn't feel good or clean enough for her. Alex doesn't care and says she is in it only for the sex. It is clear to everyone that they are both already deeply emotionally involved whether they want to be or not.

The book is very fast paced and the action is pretty great. If this were an action movie - I would totally see it in the theatre!

What kept this from being a four star read for me, though, was the overall treatment of Alex's virginity and her desire that Mason be the one to help her get rid of it. I totally got that she was in love with him and was pursuing him with everything she had in him. Unrequited love is a very common trope - and can be awesome, but this played out a little differently from the way the trope usually does. What I didn't like was the guilt trip Alex and their friends laid on Mason for saying no. Alex said she was offering up no-strings-attached sex to Mason. This was clearly not true - even if Alex kinda maybe thought it was. Mason knew it wasn't true - and didn't want to hurt her by being one and done. Even if he did have feelings for her - he didn't want a relationship. She (and their friends) really go pretty far down the rabbit hole towards making him feel awful about it. Obviously - he needed to be pushed to make a decision where both he and Alex could be happy - and maybe this was the only way for Mason to get there, but I feel like if the sexes had been reversed we might have felt differently about things.

Overall, it is a great story and I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

This is the third book in the Deep Six series. It can be read as a stand alone but events that happened in the second book are referenced frequently so it might be better to read the first two in the series before reading this one.
The Deep Six series is about a group of former Navy SEALs that have formed a salvage company and are looking for a sunken treasure. Ride the Tide is Mason and Alex's story.
I thought this book was an okay addition to the series. There seemed to be definite physical chemistry between Mason and Alex but I didn't get a sense of them really connecting as a couple. Alex is a twenty seven year old virgin who really wants Mason to be her first time and Mason having been badly scarred by his divorce keeps refusing, despite being attracted to Alex. It just seemed that Mason spent a lot of time denying his attraction and being generally clueless and condescending. Someone from Mason's past is also out for revenge so there is some suspense as well.
I found it annoying how many times the author had to describe how Mason spoke. I think saying he was from the Boston area and describing how he pronounced things once would have been enough for readers to get the sense of his accent.
This book did make me to read Wolf and Doc's stories so hopefully there are more books in the series.

An enjoyable read, with lots of action, featuring a tortured hero and a very special heroine, “Ride the Tide”, by Julie Ann Walker (Sourcebooks Casablanca), has some very funny and sweet moments between Mason and Alexis related to her issue and their simmering attraction.
It was fun to watch the tortured alpha trying to fight the attraction. I liked the big and grumpy hero and his candid admission of loving Alex despite all his fears. I also liked them as a couple, even if Alex’s issue felt overdrawn.
Suspense, interesting characters and a band of protective alpha males usual in this type of story makes this read entertaining, yet not any different from other romantic suspense books.

This was definitely a “one more chapter” read. When you’re reading, and you know you need to stop, because, well, life and all, and you keep telling yourself you’ll stop after one more chapter. Trouble was, this story and these characters completely drew me in and I did stop reading, but only after I had finished all the chapters!

Alex and Mason have a definite draw to each other, and Mason has been circling, Alex while she has offered herself up to him time and time again. His past makes him leery and he wants better for her than himself. She only wants him and can’t make him see otherwise. Until he caves and gives in. Of course, the bad guys have the worst timing and interfere not once but twice. Not an easy path for either of them, but the satisfaction of when everything finally comes together was great. The series is also being nicely set up for more adventure and excitement, and couples, and I can’t wait for more

Deep Six Salvage is back and better than ever! I loved Alex so much in this story because what you saw was what you got. She spoke her mind and was determined to go after what she wanted. The friendship between her and Doc was a great compliment to the story. Mason is a big, badass ex-SEAL and the man Alex sets her sights on. She has her work cut out for her.
The secondary story going on with Chrissy and Wolf was just as interesting. I hope that they get a book somewhere in this series. This was such an addicting read that I could not step away from it.

I truly feel I have given this story a chance. And I’ve read stories by this author and have loved them.
I could not get into this one. Even skipping around couldn’t get me into this one.
DNF

The treasure hunt continues in this new installment of this series. Alex and Mason have been dancing around each other for some time and when the pair gave in, the chemistry was amazing! This read, was action packed as the group under goes a few attacks in their quest for the treasure. After a few bumps in the road - like Mason's issues from his marriage and Alex's virginity being a stumbling block in the beginning of their story, the pair get their HEA and love wins out. I enjoyed this book from the start and would recommend it and this series to others - especially if one enjoyed the Black Knight's series. I look forward to seeing what else is in story for this series.

This book was different then the previous one. It did not cover as much as diving if any as the book before. It mainly centered on the tortured hero and his past. Although it was a good book, I really wanted to dig deeper into the sunken treasure storyline a bit more. They were on the island to find it and it really wasn't even a part of the book. The storyline however was deep and emotional. It was the meat of the book and made for a great storyline, as a personal opinion I wish it would've covered more of the series deepwater diving.
I was given this book as an ARC from NetGalley for an honest opinion.

I only give five stars to books I will reread and enjoy just as much the second time and Ride the Tide is a big helping of five steamy stars. Alexis Merriweather joined up with the sexy, ex seals of Deep Six to help them uncover the shipwreck of the life time. Fluent in useless trivia and hot under the collar for Mason "Monet" McCarthy, Alex has offered herself up on a platter for Mason but Mason is not cooperating. Mason feels broken and knows Alex deserves more than he can offer and refuses to cash in her V-card. When danger from Mason's past comes slithering out of the cracks. Mason realizes just what Alex means to him. The hot, hard headed male and sweet historian heat up the pages of this romantic suspense novel from an author that will always leave you coming back for more. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review novel from Netgalley.

Mason, a Bostonian, is a former SEAL and he and his buddies have started Deep Six Salvage, they hunt for sunken ships. Mason is big muscled and doesn’t say much but has is loyal and protective. Alexis works for the guys translating old Spanish records. She is sunny and has a mind that rarely shuts down. Alexis has her pesky little virginity and asks Mason to get rid of it for her but he says no. That doesn’t stop Alexis from wanting Mason, she just ups her game. But when they are attacked on their way back to the island and finally escape they still don’t know who they were or what they wanted. They figure it’s over until they are attacked in the night. Mason will do anything to protect his friends and brothers.

A wonderfully, written story with characters that will have you cheering for them. A man who believes he isn’t normal and doesn’t deserve love and the woman determined to show him otherwise. Romantic, suspenseful, and action will leave you on pins and needles. This can be read by itself but to not be confused, the others should be read first. ( In my opinion ).

* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for the publisher *

This book can be read as a standalone. Alexis "Alex" Merriweather is a historian who is helping ex-SEAL Mason McCarthy find the hidden treasure in the sunken Santa Cristina. Alex is attracted to Mason, and wants to sleep with him. When he finds out that she is a virgin, he is hesitant to get involved with her. Mason is still traumatized from his divorce; he thinks that there is something wrong with him, and he doesn't think that he is capable of being in a relationship. When one of Mason's enemy begins to target him, he has to protect Alex. I thought this book was fun, fast-paced, and full of action. The angst and drama between Mason and Alex made me keep reading. However, I felt like I was more interested in the budding relationship between Wolf, a fellow ex-SEAL and friend of Mason, and Chrissy. I wanted to see more closure with their relationship since they obviously like each other, but haven't made anything official. A fun contemporary romance book for readers looking for action and ex-military main characters.
