Ten years ago, Liz Palmer left Houston for the beautiful Caribbean island of Cozumel to mend a broken heart, raise her daughter in peace, and attract adventurous tourists with her Black Coral Dive Shop. Unfortunately, her new diving instructor Jerry Sharpe was only employed for two weeks when he vanished and was found dead. Now, Jerry’s twin brother Jonas is seeking answers, leading Liz on an investigation that reveals undeniable passion between them—and uncovers a criminal conspiracy that threatens their lives…

Formulaic and old-school

Hate to see a man run rough-shod over a woman who allows it. His behavior is unacceptable by any kind of modern standard. The story is good enough, though entirely predictable. The performance was pretty good but the Spanish accents were a bit painful. Overall this was ok but I won’t be listening again.

Very boring performance

The story was definitely not one of Nora Robert’s best but the performance was so dull and boring that it was a challenge to finish the book. Narrator was flat and dull

another great book by Nora Roberts

I really enjoyed this story.

makes me want to jump on a plane and head down to Mexico. I bet Liz would be a great person to meet

I don't know what it is though but I cannot say that I like Jonas. he got on my nerves from the first time he showed up. haha

Seemed like Nora needed a payday

Although I love Nora Roberts, this book was not entertaining a very brief read, predictable the narration was horrible, one of the worst of hers I’ve read

Slow!!!

Shallow story, predictable, and a little cheesy. Also, the writer obviously has never been to Cozumel.

Glad this wasn’t my first Nora Roberts book

Big Nora Roberts fan. This story was not her best felt very undeveloped compared to other books from her that I have read.
