Summary

Marine archaeologist Tate Beaumont has a passion for treasure-hunting. Over the years, she and her father have uncovered many fabulous riches, but one treasure has always eluded them: Angelique's Curse-a jeweled amulet heavy with history, dark with legend, and tainted with blood. In order to find this precious artifact, the Beaumonts reluctantly form a partnership with salvagers Buck and Matthew Lassiter. Having to share this dream is more than Tate can bear, but she has little choice. As the Beaumonts and Lassiters pool their resources to locate Angelique's Curse, the Caribbean waters thicken and darken with shadowy deceptions and hidden threats. Their partnership is placed in jeopardy when Matthew refuses to share information-including the truth behind his father's mysterious death several years earlier. For now, Tate and Matthew continue their uneasy alliance-until danger and desire begin to rise to the surface... "An engaging cast of characters with the enticing mystery of coral reefs and sunken treasure. The Reef is a perfect book to curl up with." - The Denver Post

    "The Reef" by Nora Roberts is everything you would expect from one of her books - filled with romance, intrigue, mystery, and unexpected turns in the plot. It's a delightful and effortless listen, except for one minor setback - the narration. Unfortunately, the portrayal of male characters was quite disappointing. However, with time, you do become accustomed to the narration style.

    I'm a fan of NR, but although the plot of this book was captivating, some parts of the story felt implausible. Moreover, the narrator's voice was quite bothersome to me. The portrayal of the main female character came across as immature and frivolous, which wasn't in line with what I would anticipate from an educated individual.

    Absolutely loved 'The Reef'! It's definitely up there as one of my all-time favorites. The plot had me on the edge of my seat with its unexpected twists and turns that completely blindsided me. It was an exhilarating rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Highly recommended!

    I absolutely adored it! I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts and will gladly read anything she writes, sometimes even multiple times! In fact, my book collection is mostly made up of Nora Roberts books.

    This book had so much potential, but as someone who is familiar with diving in the Caribbean, I was extremely disappointed. The disappointment started right from the beginning when the author described an underwater scene in the Caribbean with a clownfish playing in the purple-tipped tentacles of a sea anemone. The problem is that there are no clownfish in the Caribbean, even though there are sea anemones, including purple-tipped ones. The disappointment only grew worse from there. In one scene, the main characters manage to kill a 10-foot tiger shark underwater using only their dive knives. As a diver, I know that the hide of a shark is incredibly tough, so it's highly unlikely that a diver with a regular dive knife would be able to kill such a large tiger shark without any leverage. It's just not believable. Then there's the scene where Tate is accidentally bitten by a moray eel. Moray eels generally won't attack unless provoked, and if they do attack, it would cause a serious wound, not just a scratch. Additionally, moray bites are dangerous because their teeth contain a lot of bacteria, so a simple on-board treatment with alcohol and neosporin wouldn't be enough to prevent a serious infection. Another issue is the portrayal of the moray eating a grouper. Usually, moray eels hunt together with groupers. In fact, my dive guide taught me to observe the groupers because if I saw one in a certain location and acting in a particular way, it was likely hiding a moray eel in the coral behind it. Unfortunately, these factual errors really ruined the whole book for me. It had the potential to be a great story, but the lack of accurate research in the background and setting just didn't work. Lastly, I know that this novel was published in 1999, but considering the current climate of the "me too" movement, the book's portrayal of women is offensive. The repeated instances of Tate's interaction with Matthew imply that "no" doesn't necessarily mean no. It's uncomfortable to read, especially in light of recent events.
