Good Nora Roberts read-easy and fast moving.
A little bit of mystery and a little bit of romance.
Also makes you want to be at the location - Mexico.

This was not a bad romance except that it was a bit dated. Lots of smoking and no cell phones, maybe a few other things also that made you think what the heck was going on. I liked the story and the romance was good, being a re-release I wish Nora had edited the story a bit to being it into the current decade, I believe it would have been better received and enjoyed by a wide audience. The story was good and I love a sweet romance that doesn't take long to read, I'm a sucker for the Happily Ever After ending.

As someone mentioned this is a re-release, & I recall having read it a long time ago BUT I enjoyed thoroughly it this time around! Yes, the smoking is tedious and silly in 2012 but that was in the 1980s and things were lots different then so it seems to me must be taken in that context.

Now, me, I liked the characters, no one got on my nerves & the nice twists & turns were fun cuz I for sure didn't see them coming, except of course one knows romance will out :)

I wasn't sure about the certificate for diving being required there, don't know about that neck of the woods? But because I had doubts, wasn't upset that it wasn't required AND loved the bit about how one can snorkel underwater using the air trick! Wish I'd known about it when I snorkeled off Antigua years back. Really liked the location and descriptions too. I could see how the heroine had gotten into such a rigid way of thinking as she went through so much at such a young age when it would have impacted her differently than if she'd been older, but, what was she, 18 yrs. old - that's pretty young, so didn't find her narrow views of relationships unrealistic. I liked Jonas and Moralas too - he had a dry sense of humor.

Here we go again,, same old same old sorry I bought would like to return it.. I will not recommend this to a friend

This was first published in hardback in 1986 so be sure to look to see if you have read it before.

I'm a scuba diver, so I got hung up a little on the lack of accuracy. I also was bothered that there was no certification required for divers. I liked the main character, but I didn't like Jonas. Not only did he come of as a jerk, I was so grossed out by his smoking I could never find him attractive. He even smoked in her kitchen where her daughter lives. Yuck. Maybe those details were sexy in the 80's, but I found it nasty. Divers don't want to be around smokers.

This book is one of the best I have ever read. It is a great book about some of the drug rings that go on in the tropics...there was tons of suspense and mystery of who did it? You will have to read it to figure out what it is the person did. The author did very well in portaying the characters. I could relate to the heriones reasons for living down there.

Overall one of the best books I have read from silhouette books.
