Summary: A Fun and Exciting Read!
Comment: "The Reef" by Nora Roberts is a wonderful read, which delves into the fascinating world of undersea treasure hunting. This book is fast-paced and highly suspenseful, and is sure to entertain.
Marine archaeologist Tate Beaumont and salvager Matthew Lassiter are forced to work together, eight years after Matthew broke Tate's young and impressionable heart. Matthew and Tate's father have joined forces to search out and find the treasure of a lifetime, Angelique's Curse. Tate is less than thrilled with the partnership, and she and Matthew circle each other warily as their adventure begins. But they aren't the only ones searching for this priceless amulet. Tate's former employer, a cruel and calculating millionaire responsible for killing Matthew's father many years ago, will stop at nothing to possess Angelique's Curse himself. Which puts Matthew and Tate directly in his way and in a whole lot of danger!
Roberts has crafted a highly enjoyable tale that is sure to please readers. The suspense is gripping and the relationship between Tate and Matthew is witty, passionate, and intriguing. I guarantee "The Reef" will keep you turning pages as Roberts' masterful writing sweeps you away to a world of sunken treasure and danger on the high seas!

Summary: The perfect book for a steady read
Comment: I've read a lot of Nora Roberts books and this is one of my favorites. It combines all the great aspects of romance, action/adventure and mystery. The book starts out with a great introduction of the characters. I really liked them because they were so real. They were average everyday people that when you read about them can say, "yeah, I know someone just like that," or, "that is so typical of a guy." You have Matthew Lassiter, a muscle-bound hard case that you just know inside is softer then the softer side of Sears. Then our heroine, Tate Beaumont, who while is the lovable daughter, is also the tough deep diver. Then you have the comic relief, Matts' uncle Buck and the sweet but adventurous parents, Ray and Marla Beaumont. Then, as the perfect offset, you have the bad guy, Silas VanDyke. And of course, to tie it all together, they are all in search of Angeliques Curse; a long lost jeweled amulet that is supposedly cursed. Doesn't get much better then that right? Wrong, because even with all this, you get the pleasure of all the secrets being hidden beneath the ocean; an ocean full of darkness and hidden treasures. And while it may sound like you typical treasure hunt type of book, it is uniquely separated it into three parts. Past, present and future. This way, when you read, you have a good idea of what's happening, where it's happening, when it's happening and to whom it's happening to. (A mouth full I know.) Anyway, I really recommend this book, especially for people that read on and off. It's a "take with you anywhere" kind of book. It is a great love found, love lost book. It also gives you enough detail to vividly imagine the scenery. The only bad thing I can say about this book is while the characters themselves are great, their interaction with each other is a bit sketchy. Never the less I strongly recommend this book- it's a keeper.

Summary: What A Treasure!
Comment: I first read "The Reef" in a college-level Creative Writing class. It is a finely crafted book. The main characters have internal and external motivation, are very sympathetic and I was hoping they'd solve their differences so badly. Even if the characters weren't great, it all fits so well into this lovely underwater setting that this book made me want to go hunting for sunken treasure. And I also like how the story spans years. I enjoyed Angelique's Curse; how it added a mystery, and history. The antagonist was sufficiently creepy to make the horrid actions believable. All the characters are memorable, and well fleshed out.
