A marine archaeologist and a salvager join forces to search for a legendary treasure in this novel that takes readers to the depths of the Caribbean and the heights of passion and suspense - from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.

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.

As the Beaumonts and Lassiters pool their resources to locate Angelique’s Curse, the Caribbean waters 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. For now, Tate and Matthew continue their uneasy alliance - until danger and desire begin to rise to the surface...

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!
