So I have just finished the Dream Trilogy, which contains: Daring to Dream, Holding the Dream, and Finding the Dream. It is true that I could give you a blow by blow of the books, but that is no fun - I insist instead that you read them! But because you asked so nicely, here is the Goodreads' little blurb about them:
"Daring to Dream (1996)
Margo Sullivan returns home to Templeton house and her friends after her posh life as a model falls apart. As she tries to pick up the pieces, the long-simmering chemistry between her and Joshua Templeton finally comes to a boil.
Holding the Dream (1997)
Kate Powell has always felt indebted to the Templetons for taking her in after her parents deaths. All she's ever wanted is to make them proud. But accusations of embezzlement have her hanging her head in shame. It takes the gentle persistence of Byron DeWitt to prod her into fighting back.
Finding the Dream (1997)
Laura Templeton wanted one thing in life, to marry her Prince Charming and raise a family. Unfortunately, her Prince turned into a toad and she's forced to begin her life again. Adding to the turmoil is the brooding, handsome Michael Fury, a man she's always had a hidden desire for."
Also you should totally check out the Goodreads site (aka click here to be magically sent there!)
So what did I love about these books (this book? I read it in one big yummy book). Well first of all, it was written by Nora Roberts, and she is my guilty pleasure. I know, I know. I should be reading dry pieces of literature all written by old dead white dudes, but sometimes a girl just has to read!... and so I turn to NR. Next I love that the three women are so different from one another. It shows that sister/friends can be and so often are completely different from one another, and that is just fine. I also love how the guys (though some reviews say they are all the same) have pleasant differences... and they fall head over heals for the women they love. That is something that every girl needs - unconditional and irrational love from a wonderful man!
Of all three guys though, my favorite had to be Michael Fury. Why? Well here are my reasons:
- His Name
- Fury is a wonderful last name and so completely describes him.
- His Hair
- A little long, but totally bad ass
- His Passion
- Though the romance was ... interesting, it was his passion for his work and for Laura. The ending (which I won't tell you about - got to peek your interest in some way) mad me want to weep. Oh it was tragic and wonderful and totally worth staying up way too late to finish it.
And that finishes my ramblings on NR's Dream Trilogy. I recommend reading them and I will keep you posted on all of the other wonderful books I have been reading!!
Lots of Love

“It might be fun."
"Love's supposed to be." Laura smiled. "When it's not hell.”
― Nora Roberts, Daring to Dream
“Circumstances change. Bend or break...”
― Nora Roberts, Holding the Dream
“She stepped closer to the edge to watch the waves beat against rock. She felt that way, she mused. Battered by forces that were beyond her control, lapped in a violent, endless war with no choice but to stand.”
― Nora Roberts, Finding the Dream
