I have read only one of the books, Daring to Dream, and loved it. It is so heartwarming to see three girls befriended as children and grow to womanhood still cherishing the friendship each has with the other. The story is an inspiration to many women struggling to make their way in life after a major setback. Margo shows strength, bravery and determination needed to succeed. Her friends, Kate and Ann, are there to offer support. Of course, there is a love story in the middle of all the crises. The reader is held in suspense until the very end to see how the romance will pan out between Margo and Josh.The end is worth waiting for. Buy the book.
The Dream series does not disappoint Roberts' fans. The story of three young girls living under the same roof of the Templeton Mansion, one the maids daughter, one adopted and the daughter who knows her responsibility as a Templeton. The story follows the women from teen years to each finding the Dream and love they deserve. I could not wait to finish each book and see what had happened to these strong women who had an unbreakable bond and friendship. Nora is one of my favorite writers and she did not let us down.HMJDiscovery Bay,CA.
Nora Roberts is my favorite romance novel author, and this trilogy is my favorite one of them all. It has warmth, humor, and, of course, romance! She makes it easy for us to relate to the characters, which is one of the best things about her writing. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because Holding the Dream, the second book, was not as good as I expected it to be. Finding the Dream is my favorite...I can read it over and over again and I always get touched by it.
When I read the first book of this trilogy I thought wow here we go. Then the overly drawn out sex started and I thought as I skimmed through all of those wasted pages it would be a total loss. It turned out okay so I continued to read the second story. Same old thing, too much graphic sex, always hating each other on sight etc.,etc.,etc....I almost skipped the last one. I was bored stupid with the exact same story line, graphic sex etc. I loved all of Ms. Roberts books until the non stop sexual graphic stuff began to eat into what used to be great story lines. This is my last purchase. I am no prude but I read a very large diversified library of books. Some were written earlier in her career and the sex is much more subtle. Some books by writers such as Francis Parkinson Keyes who wrote back in the first half of the 20th century only hinted at what went on behind closed doors. This left me able to enjoy the story without feeling like I was watching a porno flick. I am older at 62 years of age than many of this writers readers these days but there is so much graphic language, sexual activity in the news in books on television and the movies I find myself feeling very uncomfortable with it. I was never a prude and believe in free speech too much to ask that books with so much horrible language and page after page of sexual experiences by the characters be banned. I would go to war to defend the right of free speech. However this free stuff runs both ways. I have the freedom to choose to stop reading books that contain so much of bad language and graphic sexual imagery via the written word. So goodbye to a writer whose books fill a lot of space in my library.
I just reread it because I recently visited Monterey. It really made the book come alive. The books are not up there with the "Born In..." or Quinn Brothers books, but they're enjoyable reads. They're sure dated, though. When they talk about this fabulous house on the cliffs and are in awe of the $350,000 price tag, you know it's old.
I have not had the experience of audio books and this did not meet my expectatons. I wanted to have something to travel with. Did not read any of this author's books before this.. The contents were not to my expectations. Raunchy to say the least. Want it back??
I read this on books on tape! And was one of my first Nora Roberts books that got me hooked. Liked it so much that I got in on CD. I loved it just as much the second time around and will probably listen to it again. Love the way she develps her stories and a trilogy is even better when she's doing it on purpose! Her characters are hard to say goodbye to and so when I know I have another and another of the same people to look forward to, that is a five star-er for me!
I love this trilogy! I am currently reading it again! There is something about Nora Roberts' books that just suck me in and take me to a whole new place in this world! I love all the books I have read from Nora Roberts so far, and it's a lot! I have even bought them TWICE technically. Paperback and Kindle versions! Keep up the great work Nora Roberts!
