From “the queen of romantic suspense”, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, a suspicious death brings two lost souls together—and into the dangers and desires found in Risky Business.

Ten years ago, Liz Palmer left Houston for the beautiful Caribbean island of Cozumel to mend a broken heart, raise her daughter in peace, and attract adventurous tourists with her Black Coral Dive Shop. Unfortunately, her new diving instructor Jerry Sharpe was only employed for two weeks when he vanished and was found dead. Now, Jerry’s twin brother Jonas is seeking answers, leading Liz on an investigation that reveals undeniable passion between them—and uncovers a criminal conspiracy that threatens their lives…

The right amount of intrigue mixed with romance. A good balance! Also I loved the tropical location

Story line

Hate to see a man run rough-shod over a woman who allows it. His behavior is unacceptable by any kind of modern standard. The story is good enough, though entirely predictable. The performance was pretty good but the Spanish accents were a bit painful. Overall this was ok but I won’t be listening again.

Formulaic and old-school

It was a lot slower moving and not as interesting as most of her books.

A little slow.

I have quite a few books by this author in my library and recently added this story to my collection. I really didn't find this to be very interesting or exciting. I thought the lead characters were kind of bland and the story itself was a bit of a yawn.
I usually love books by this author but sadly not this one. I doubt I will ever reread it.

Not the best book from Ms. Roberts

The story was definitely not one of Nora Robert’s best but the performance was so dull and boring that it was a challenge to finish the book. Narrator was flat and dull

Very boring performance

I really enjoyed this story.

makes me want to jump on a plane and head down to Mexico. I bet Liz would be a great person to meet

I don't know what it is though but I cannot say that I like Jonas. he got on my nerves from the first time he showed up. haha

another great book by Nora Roberts

Liz Palmer is a single mom who runs a dive shop on Cozumel after leaving Houston. She works really hard to make her business a success as her daughter lives with her parents during the school year. One of her employees, Jerry, is found murdered, and his identical twin, Jonas, comes to the island for answers and revenge. Liz and Jonas work together to find out what Jerry got himself into, uncovering a criminal conspiracy that threatens their lives. The chemistry between Jonas and Liz is everything! Jonas (a chain smoker) is attracted to Liz, because of who she is and not for her looks. For Liz, Jonas is a little bit dangerous but he is stoic and honest with her. He's protective over Liz but does not dim her light. The suspense plot was well done and this could be a beach read if you can deal with Jonas being a Nora hero.

Beach Vibes with Suspense
