Summary: Dream trilogy begins in Style!
Review: "Daring to Dream" is the first book in the "Dream" trilogy and it is an exceptional piece of writing. The story is compelling and well written. The friendship of these three "sisters of the heart" is touching and the romance is exciting and fulfilling.
Margo Sullivan has lived in a house of wealth and privilege all her life, but she has always been one step back from it, being the housekeeper's daughter. She has lived with Laura Templeton, the daughter of the wealthy and powerful Templetons and Kate, Laura's orphaned cousin nearly all of her life. Margo manages to make a name for herself, using her stunning good looks, in the modeling world, but she returns home after a scandal destroys her career.
Many reviewers have criticized Margo for being a selfish and unlikeable character. I have to disagree. Although she does have quite an ego, she is also an excellent and loyal friend who would do ANYTHING for Laura and Kate. This book is about Margo's growth as a person and her self-discovery. A character without flaws is just plain unrealistic, and Margo's faults only make her seem more human.
The romance that blooms between Margo and Laura's brother Josh is truly lovely. Margo and Josh have been in love with each other for the better part of both of their lives, although neither of them was aware of the others feelings. The tale of these two finally finding each other was quite captivating.
Despite Josh's riches and trust funds, he is a generous, hard-working man and a very likeable hero. Margo and Josh are really great together and the reader is treated to some wonderfully sexy scenes.
This book starts an absolutely fabulous trilogy, and it is most definitely worth reading. So don't listen to the negative reviews, just enjoy these characters for who they are and join them on their journey to find true love!

Summary: Beginning book in the series!
Review: Daring to Dream is the first book in this must read series. I started it thinking I'd read a few short chapters before calling it the night...I was wrong...Could not put this book down and believe me I tried several times but just couldn't do it. I was tired at work the next day but a tiredness that was well worth it.

Summary: An unsatisfiying book.
Review: I could easily put down this book as it lacked the thrill and excitement that most Nora Roberts books have. I bought all three books in the trilogy at once and so I am looking forward to reading the second book, Holding The Dream in hope that it will be better than the first.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Daring to Dream
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. I am going to read the whole dream trilogy just so I can find out what happens to Josh and Margo. I thought that " Daring to Dream" was an excellent book, but the ending was slightly unrealistic. Why would Josh forgive her when she was kissing another man? Overall, the book was good, though.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Daring to Dream
Review: I listened to the audio tape, rather than reading the book. I will comment on the audio first and then the book's content.

The reading of the book was so terribly poor that I almost yanked it out of the cassette player and threw it away, upon first listening to it. The woman reading the book (I hope it is not the author) changes her voice for each character in the book. Each character's part was so dreadfully read, due to the changes of voice inflections, that I could hardly stand it. Not only was it annoying, it was obvious and insulting to listen to.

It seems that the author did not research the area well. I live on the Monterey Peninsula and was disappointed by the mistakes. She mentioned that an upstairs area at Cannery Row was hot as a furnace. Not possible here. She spoke of prices of commecial buildings in the area going for $275,000. Try adding a couple of more zeros. You drive up to Monterey from Big Sur, not "down" as was written. In the beginning, she spoke of a hot summer's day. Big Sur is cold and foggy in the summer.

Factual errors aside, if you are going to purchase this book, you'd be wise to purchase the printed book and not the audio version.

Summary: Anything Nora Roberts is Wonderful- Great Bathtub Book
Review: I LOVE Nora Roberts. Anything by her is great. Having said that, this trilogy is one of the better ones by her, I think.

Each book can stand alone and this one about Margo does just that. This book is about starting over, taking the bad and turning it into something wonderful. This book reminds readers that money is not everything important and that there are other more important parts of life: family, love, friendsip, respect, and a positive attitude are some of thesee.

If you like reading a book about families, sisters and friends, this is a great book to read. If you enjoy reading books about how one strong woman can turn around a bad situation into something positive, this is a wonderful book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply awesome
Review: I read this book in a few hours for once started,I cannot put in down.Margo and Josh are simply wonderful for each other.I especially like the character of Josh. One could almost felt actuely the helplessness of Josh as he saw Margo wandering away in search of her dream.I felt really sad when the story ended.I had already read the first two books of the Dreams trilogy.Both are simply awesome just like all other Nora Roberts' books.Hidden Riches is another great book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great first in the trilogy!
Review: I really enjoyed this book from the first page. Nora Roberts just makes you feel as though you know the characters so well. It is a wonderful 3 part story of 3 sisters of the heart. It takes you through each of their lives and their evolution into the women they are today. This first book is focused on Margo, a maid's daughter. She has huge dreams and sets out to find them and make them come true. Read this book to see her set out, find and lose her self and then come full circle back to the place she started out.

Rating: 5 stars
