This is an excellent book that captivates the imagination and fantasy. If you like pirates or treasure hunting you will love this book filled with adventure, murder, suspense and thrills not to mention some romance. It's Nora Roberts.
Helpful Score: 5
The Reef is part sea thriller, part exquisite and intelligent love story, and all Nora. Noraholics, be on the alert: This is a keeper, and one that your non-romance reading friends will love as well. If you miss The Reef, you will have missed one of the best suspense adventure stories of the year -- and a love story that will take your breath away!

I am a big Nora Roberts fan,but this was not one of her better books.
Interesting and exciting. withjust the right amount of romance
This book was a page turner for me. I can not find a Nora Roberts book that I do not like.
If you enjoy her other books this new adventure willkep you attention and you won't want to leave it. As a fan of Nora Roberts AKA JD Robb. This book is top notch.
very good and full of adventure
Not my favorite Nora Roberts book, but still a good read. I don't always like books that take place over many years.
an engaging cast of characters with the mystery of coral reefs and sunken treasures.
College student Tate Beaumont is spending the summer with her parents hunting for sunken treasure. They meet salvagers Buck and Matthew Lassiter, and realize they too are searching for the famous jeweled amulet "Angelique's Curse" which went down with a ship. Deciding to become partners and share any treasure they find, the group stumbles onto an old Spanish Galleon with a fortune in gold. As Tate and Matthew grow closer, an evil man from the past may just drive them apart.
This was an interesting romantic suspense story. Even though I know nothing about diving for sunken treasure, I found this story hard to put down. All of the characters are well drawn, even the minor characters. As usual, Nora Roberts has written another winner. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

Very enjoyable read!
I was immediately caught in the adventure of this book. I couldn't put it down once I picked it up.
The usual fast pace good read that one expects from Nora Roberts. The suspense was great as were the characters.
This is now definitely one of my favorite books. I've read nora roberts before but never like this. This book has lovable characters and a bad guy that makes you cringe and really makes you hate him. The adventure is wonderful and the story is even better.
This book is my ultimate favorite Nora Roberts book. The villian is just nasty enough to dislike, the herion feisty and strong-willed and the hero has just the right balance of sexy and mysterious to make him appealing. I love the backdrop of hunting for sunken treasure, the pleasure in the surroundings as well as the excitement of the hunt. This book was written before Nora Roberts trilogies starting making up the bulk of her writing. I absolutely love her earlier work the best, however I will continue to read whatever she has published. This book is a recommend for those of you who are true Nora fans and for those of you just finding Nora's books.
Great read while relaxing on the beach
This one started out a little slow, but it did pick up and ended up being a wonderful story!
THIS WAS GREAT, MYSTERY, AND ROMANCE

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts returns to a familiar subject-treasure, the kind of treasure found among the shipwrecks in the balmy waters of the West Indies and the treasure of love--love of family, love between the unlikeliest of partners, love found and lost and found again. Marine archeologist Tate Beaumont finds herself thrown together with salvager Matthew Lassiter, eight years after he brutally crushed her first stirrings of young love, as they again attempt to locate Angelique's Curse, an amulet heavy with jewels and history, tainted by blood and madness. An earlier expedition ended in betrayal and tragedy, changing both their lives forever and leaving their families inextricably entwined. Matthew has an agenda of his own: to draw out Tate's former employer, the unscrupulous and mysterious millionaire responsible for killing his father and maiming his uncle--who will stop at nothing to get his hands on Angelique's Curse. Tate and Matthew find themselves circling each other warily, each unsure of the other's motives, yet drawn together by passion and danger beneath the azure waves. The Reef is an entertaining read, delighting readers with its meticulous research and detail, but it fails to adequately develop the tension between its lead characters caused by the love neither trusts can overcome the past.

Over the years, she and her father have uncovered many fabulous riches, but one treasure has always eluded them: Angeliques Curse--a jeweled amulet heavy with history, dark with legend and tained with blood. Good book from Nora Roberts!
Th more I read of her, the more I like. Very good fast paced book. Lots of twists and turns.
Wonderful story~ This made me a big fan of Nora Roberts
Who doesn't like a story about a treasure hunt? Especially one entwined with a cursed necklace, one man obsessive search for the necklace, and another man's obsession with revenge for the murder of his father? Toss in some interesting secondary characters (I especially like Tate's mother) and a juicy romance.
A very enjoyable read.

This book is great, made me cry a bunch because I felt so attached and there was so much pain involved in the story - you really feel for the main characters and beg for them to solve everything!

Great sequel to Relic ... extends the story with the characters 18 months later. Just as good, exciting, strange and informative (about Manhattans underground) as the Relic. BUT, read the Relic first, then this one.
