À propos de cet audio

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...

Good story;unreasonable conclusion

Decent story (although slightly predictable) but the 'love story' angle was a bit cheesy.

Wouldn't reach for it again.

Enjoyed the story. Found the French-Canadian accent very off-putting though as it sounded much more like someone spoofing a Parisienne accent.

*spoilers*

Overall I really enjoyed this book. In typical Nora Robert’s fashion the scene setting and vernacular used to describe the careers, activities, locations etc were thorough and detailed, making me yearn to go diving in the Caribbean myself.

Additionally, like many standalone Robert’s books, you can expect the typical (and looked forward to) system to play out: love interests meet, squabble, danger ensues and relationships deepen, finishing off with a wedding planned. I’m not at all mad at this, it’s what I’ve come to expect from these books and I keep coming back for the easy reading of it with that zest of a low-key thriller/romance novel too.

The part that dropped this from 4 to 3 stars was the strange use of violence in the relationship between Tate (heroine) and Matthew (love interest), honestly it was a little disturbing. Matthew gropes and low-grade assaults Tate to “scare her off” when she’s considered too young for the kind of relationship he wants with her, and because he thinks he’ll ruin her life. When they meet again, Tate has anger there for the lies and poor treatment, but nothing is said about the violation. Then later, when he thinks she’s double crossed him, the violence he threatens and displays at her was concerning, but Tate, though terrified, accepts it quite quickly as fine and they move on. Her reactions felt unnatural to me, and for a fast-paced story with lovely descriptions and romantic intrigue, it left a bit to be desired in the feminism/consent and proper treatment categories for me.

Good, but a few hiccups
