As the Beaumonts and Lassiters pool their resources to locate Angelique’s Curse, the Caribbean waters darken with shadowy deceptions and hidden threats.

I couldn't stop listening!

The reef is by far the best book I have ever read. It started off with a twist, and through out the entire read there was something exciting happening. If I could have stayed awake and never slept, I would have read (listened to) the entire novel in one sitting. Wow, I have nothing but great reviews for the reef. If you need one book to read for your entire career, give this one a chance. There were just the right amounts of mystery, romance, excitement, twists, science and thrill in it.

Fun Escapism.

Nice fantasy, ruined by the simpy voice the narrator used for the ‘heroine’. Had to grit my teeth every time ‘Tate’ spoke. Interestingly, the male voices were performed better than most. Fun and good escapism, if you can get past the narration.

Just Mediocre

The story was typical for the author. It was on sale, so I got it. Her books are entertaining and don't require really close attention. The narrator's attempt at a Southern accent was almost the worst I've ever heard!

so good

Loved it, couldn't put it down. Norah Roberts always has the best adventure stories

Unpredictable Twists

The best single story book I've read by Nora! Unpredictable twists. Well worth it!

All the right events of a good story

This is one of my favorite audio books. I am generally more of an epic fantasy fan, but fell in love with this romance novel. It has all the elements from a divers dream. It truly makes me want to visit the beautiful tropics and splash below the waves.

Classic Nora Roberts

One of my favorite authors combines adventure and romance in this excellent and well executed story.

Beautiful and engaging story

Signature Nora Roberts full of wonderful details. The love story is woven through an exciting tale of greed with a touch of magic.

great story; unlikable heroine

If you can get past how spoiled and selfrighteous she is, its a great book

Cheesy

I have read many books by Nora and enjoy them very much. I liked the theme of this one with the diving and treasure hunting. I found the female character Tate to be rather ditzy despite her “degree.” In the first part of the book she acted like a teenager. Later she was trying to contact the villain to “save” her man. Spoiler alert! At the end they are secretly recording the villain as he confesses all in a restaurant. The narrator did okay, Buck did sound like Popeye. I know this book was an early one and subsequent ones contain more plausible story lines.
