The more books I read by Nora Roberts, the more I am discovering her tallent for creating a setting for her novels. She really knows how to take the reader with her on every adventure. The Reef was so well written that you could just imagine yourself in the sea diving for treasure or aboard the boat in the warm sun. The plot was wonderful, the characters were likable, the villians were nasty. I really enjoyed the love story between Tate and Matthew. I liked how it spread out over the years, whic...more

The first book I ever read by Nora Roberts. I bought it for my trip to China in 1998 and have read it several times since then. I loved the way she wrote and after I got back from my 3 week trip, I continued to seek out her books first thing as soon as I went to any bookstore. To this day, she is still my favorite author and this story holds a special place in my heart.

This was the first Nora Roberts book I read. I couldn't believe a romance novel could be so good and not cheesy. This made me want to get a boat, go to Australia and start scuba diving for lost treasure. Grab a beach towel, pull up lounge chair, slather on the sunscreen and read. Perfect for summer time reading.

The first Nora Roberts book that I ever read. I'm a diver and loved to have that aspect of the book as well. Very exciting and romantic. I read it a while ago but still remember it fondly and would totally recommend it to other (most likely women) divers and non-divers who have that romantic side :)

If you like Nora Roberts as much as i do you'll love this one. It has an interesting nephew/uncle angle kinda like the sister angle in Montanna Sky. I would say even guys might like this one because the main characher is the nephew and not a female.

Tate Beaumont, a beautiful student of marine archaeology, finds adventure, danger, and passion when she reluctantly joins forces with diver Matthew Lassiter and his uncle to find a legendary jeweled amulet said to be lost at the bottom of the sea.

I read this book while vacationing in a beautiful sunny location. Reading about scuba diving and actual being in such a beautiful surrounding really made this book fun to read. I loved the characters and storyline. Great fun book!

I read this book a long time ago and always thought it should be made into a movie. When I want to escape in a good romance story, I usually turn to Nora Roberts.

I loved this one too! I love how she can describe all the areas and places in her book so well, and I cried. Yes, I cried. I always cry. Poor Buck. Awesome!

Loved the characters and their playful argueing. The book is set up as if you it's two series in one book. I loved it!

Very steamy but scuba divers will love the extensive descriptions of treasure hunting and Carribean island detail.

Well written, but the story did not really hook me. Maybe because of the villain? *shrug*
