Daring to Dream Dream Trilogy Book 1 Nora Roberts 9780515142907 Books

I loved this book and am so impressed with it as an entree to a trilogy. It all leads up to chemistry of the two romantic leads and they absolutely have this in spades, as well as the chemistry and deep friendship between three women. Dreamer, Margo Sullivan, moves as a young girl with her mother from Ireland when her mother takes a housekeeping job with a wealthy, Hotel Chain owning, Templeton family. Margo is essentially welcomed as a member of the family and sister to young Laura and Josh Templeton, as well as an orphaned cousin Kate who also grows up with them in the lap of luxury. Although Margo has always been treated as an equal, she's always aware that the dream is not hers and she grows up with goals that one day she'll have what the Templetons have. To help her obtain that dream, headstrong Margo grows into a stunning young woman and when she turns eighteen, she decides to move to LA to try her hand as a model. She ends up becoming fairly successful in the European market and during a vacation with one of her lovers, she ends up arrested, discovering that said lover is married and a criminal. Due to her lavish lifestyle and her lack of attention to where her money has been syphoned, Margo hits rock bottom and has to figure out what to do next.

Hotel attorney and owner, Josh Templeton, practically Margo's brother with absolutely no blood relation, doesn't know when it happened, but growing up with Margo, he can't help but admit that he's hopelessly in love with her. Josh has watched Margo traipse around the world with her lovers and modeling gigs for 10 years while he secretly watches and waits for his opportunity to sweep her off her feet. He's been an integral part of her life, but he's never found the right time to introduce the concept of anything outside of their platonic relationship.

As Margo is trying to straighten out her life, she ends up rushing home to California to help support Laura Templeton through an ugly divorce and she leans on her two best friends Kate, an accountant, and Laura, a mother and heiress, for support of her own. With no liquid assets and rooms full of luxury stuff she's accumluated over the past ten years, Margo, Laura and Kate, with a little push from Josh, decide to go into the consignment business to sell her things. This provides a career opportunity for Margo, a distraction for Laura, and an investment for Kate.

Throughout the trials and tribulations of starting a new business, Josh is there every step of the way to provide encouragement as well as a reality check for some of Margo's wild ideas but it's the perfect opportunity for them to get together. The sparks absolutely fly between the two and the "girl time" between Margo, Kate and Laura is absolutely precious. This is truly a wonderful story of love and friendship without the misunderstandings and catty backstabbing that can come along with very human emotions. You can connect with Margo's envy of everyone around her, yet it doesn't turn into ugly jealousy and her growth from spoiled princess to, well, spoiled mature woman, is totally believable. It was a great journey and when I find myself needing a little pick me up, I can always turn back to rereading Daring to Dream. The best part is, there's two additional books, Kate and Laura's stories, to follow this one that provide a peak into this happily ever after.

Daring to Dream Dream Trilogy Book 1 Nora Roberts 9780515142907 Books Reviews

This isn't bad, but the second book is hard to get through. The third is much better than both the first and the second.
One of my only complaints is, I wish her stories could show women who have more back bone. There are women out there, who can be successful without men taking them to bed. It seems that a god bit of the book focuses on constant sex, and yes, I guess some people need that constantly, but women are much stronger than that.
I know that other readers do not like the predictable style that Nora has but I have come to depend on it and know that the characters and romance is going to make me smile.
Nora Roberts is a great story teller, she knows how to keep you interested in her books. This triology makes you want to buy all the books. Its a great tale of three friends that were all from totally different families and who became the best of friends who were there whenever they were in trouble. No matter what family crisis arose, they could always count on each other. You show them as they were growing up and all the problems that each encountered. It was nice seeing them search for a hidden treasure all their lives and finally find it when they least expected it. It was a great finish to the books. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a Nora Roberts fan.
Too much sex and not enough story! I love Nora Roberts ... But this was like it was the first story she ever wrote. The richness of her characters were wonderful. Margo's mom Annie telling her daughter of her life in Ireland really touched me. Josh's parents ... Fantastic. I wanted more of them and Kate, Laura and the treasure ... So much left unsaid.
No one knows how to create and give life to characters like Nora Roberts. I thought this was one of the best books of hers that I've read - and I've read a LOT of them! (I'm also a big J.D. Robb fan). The three women who are the main characters are so different from each other but also very close to one another. The matriarch of the family is the exact right combination of strength and softness and the soft-hearted (but don't tell her we know) housekeeper adds a good balance to the household. It was hard to watch the way she and her daughter never seemed to understand one another but oh so lovely when they finally worked it all out. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this trilogy.
This first part of the Daring to Dream trilogy is fantastic. A tale of three women whose lives are inexplicably woven together into a fine tapestry. Told with a tug on that inner sense we all have to survive our lives, regardless of the circimstances. This book is not just about a plot, beginning or an ending, it is about life. I felt compelled to just forget the other 5 or 6 books I was reading inorder to read "one more page"! The vocabulary pulls you into the sun kissed world of Caifornia & Europe with a magnetic affect. Moonlight & roses, fire & ice, hatred & love and most of all friendship kept me coming back again and again to see where the tale would go;
Do not miss this book. It has history with a love of today & yesterday all woven into an unforgettable fabric of life.
I highly recommend this book, Nora Roberts has truly given her fans a gift with this one!!!
