This is an excellent book that captivates the imagination and fantasy. If you like pirates or treasure hunting you will love this book filled with adventure, murder, suspense and thrills not to mention some romance. It's Nora Roberts.

The Reef is part sea thriller, part exquisite and intelligent love story, and all Nora. Noraholics, be on the alert: This is a keeper, and one that your non-romance reading friends will love as well. If you miss The Reef, you will have missed one of the best suspense adventure stories of the year -- and a love story that will take your breath away!

Marine biologist Tate Beaumont has a passion for treasure hunting that she shares with her father. Over the years they've had many famous finds, but one treasure has eluded them, Angelique's Curse, an amulet filled with jewels and heavy with history. They can't do it alone, so Tate's father hires Matthew Lassiter, a sea-scarred diver whose past is shrouded in mystery. Tate and Matthew are reluctant partners, until danger and desire begin to rise to the surface.

College student Tate Beaumont is spending the summer with her parents hunting for sunken treasure. They meet salvagers Buck and Matthew Lassiter, and realize they too are searching for the famous jeweled amulet "Angelique's Curse" which went down with a ship. Deciding to become partners and share any treasure they find, the group stumbles onto an old Spanish Galleon with a fortune in gold. As Tate and Matthew grow closer, an evil man from the past may just drive them apart.

This was an interesting romantic suspense story. Even though I know nothing about diving for sunken treasure, I found this story hard to put down. All of the characters are well drawn, even the minor characters. As usual, Nora Roberts has written another winner. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

This book is my ultimate favorite Nora Roberts book. The villian is just nasty enough to dislike, the herion feisty and strong-willed and the hero has just the right balance of sexy and mysterious to make him appealing. I love the backdrop of hunting for sunken treasure, the pleasure in the surroundings as well as the excitement of the hunt. This book was written before Nora Roberts trilogies starting making up the bulk of her writing. I absolutely love her earlier work the best, however I will continue to read whatever she has published. This book is a recommend for those of you who are true Nora fans and for those of you just finding Nora's books.
