"The most successful novelist on Planet Earth."—Washington Post

"Roberts's bestselling novels are some of the best in the romance genre.'"—USA TODAY

"Nora Roberts is a storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent."—Publishers Weekly

Nearly 40 years ago.

Looking for a good read without too many complications and just a touch of romance, I found this thirty-nine-year old (first published 8/28/1986) book of Ms. Roberts. I so enjoy her romantic suspense novels. As I began listening I was thrown back into my middle twenties. What a trip! Many things have changed since then and I found myself shaking my head and groaning at the dialogue and the behavior at times. Quite interesting. I do know I like Ms. Roberts' writing but do not appreciate it from nearly 4o years ago as I enjoy it today.

Gabra Zackman as narrator did a fine job.

Story line

The right amount of intrigue mixed with romance. A good balance! Also I loved the tropical location

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.

A little slow.

It was a lot slower moving and not as interesting as most of her books.

Not the best book from Ms. Roberts

I have quite a few books by this author in my library and recently added this story to my collection. I really didn't find this to be very interesting or exciting. I thought the lead characters were kind of bland and the story itself was a bit of a yawn.
I usually love books by this author but sadly not this one. I doubt I will ever reread it.

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

Beach Vibes with Suspense

Liz Palmer is a single mom who runs a dive shop on Cozumel after leaving Houston. She works really hard to make her business a success as her daughter lives with her parents during the school year. One of her employees, Jerry, is found murdered, and his identical twin, Jonas, comes to the island for answers and revenge. Liz and Jonas work together to find out what Jerry got himself into, uncovering a criminal conspiracy that threatens their lives. The chemistry between Jonas and Liz is everything! Jonas (a chain smoker) is attracted to Liz, because of who she is and not for her looks. For Liz, Jonas is a little bit dangerous but he is stoic and honest with her. He's protective over Liz but does not dim her light. The suspense plot was well done and this could be a beach read if you can deal with Jonas being a Nora hero.

Another good one!

I liked the storyline of this one. I always learn something new about the setting or story from Roberts.

Great story!

Great performances! Great intriguing and full of action and love story! I really enjoyed it!
