First in a trilogy by Roberts. It was so good, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the other 2 in this series.
One of my favorite series as well as favorite author.
1st in trilogy: Margo, Kate, & Laura-3 friend for life. Another great read from this author.
I have read this trilogy twice and it was sometime ago. But, I can still remember the story line. 3 girls that grow up in the same house with dreams, each a little different but they will mingle with each other.
Another wonderful series from Nora Roberts. Daring to Dream starts a series of three books relating to three girls and their lives. Margo, the housekeepers daughter, want's to be someone. She moves away and when her world falls apart, she comes home and starts from scratch to build a new dream. Her story is one of self\-discovery, of risk and reward and of course, love.
Loved this book, can't wait to read the next two in the series !
1st in dreaming trilogy. Three women from diferent backgrounds share a dream inspired by a tragic legend. But each has a separate and personal dream of her own. Margo (the housekeeper's daughter)it is to become someone and when her world falls apart, theres no where to go but home. Nora's usual love and frustrations.
Book One in the Dream Trilogy
Margo Sullivan had everything a young woman could ask for. But while growing up along the rocky cliffs of Monterey, she couldn't help but dream of bigger things. The daughter of the Templeton's stern Irish housekeeper, Margo had been treated like a member of the family. Deep down, she knew that money could not buy the one thing she craved most-her mother's acceptance. Maybe things would be different if she could be sweet like Laura-or had Kate's shrewd head of business. But all Margo knew how to do was be Margo, and that meant doing things her own way-no matter what the consequences...
Very good book, am anxious to read the next one in the series.
very good
I couldn't put it down. Great story and the first of a series.
Housekeepers daughter grows up in with dreams of becoming a famous actress. OK book.
Series: Dream Trilogy Series, #1
Publishers Weekly
Roberts begins a smooth-talking trilogy about three friends who grew up together among the megawealthy Templeton family of hoteliers, on their beautiful estate in Big Sur: Laura Templeton, the sweet rich girl who is getting marrid as the story begins; Kate Powell, her down-to-earth orphaned cousin with a Harvard M.B.A.; and Margo Sullivan, the housekeeper's daughter and heroine of this first book. Margo (the Bella Donna Woman... "Beautiful, Confident. Dangerous.") returns to Big Sur after being swindled by her manager. She suffers a little, opens a boutique of her old designer clothes and tchotchkes, and marries gorgeous golden Josh, the Templeton scion who has always loved her and who plays a great game of tennis. Roberts who could seemingly write a formula romance in her sleep, adds brains, humor and sex, if not anything by way of plot innovations. (Aug.)

This was one of the first Nora Roberts books I ever read, and it's remained one of my favorites through the years. I liked Margo--her spunk, her guts, her "Margo-ness", whatever you want to call it. I also liked Josh, and enjoyed watching their attraction and affection deepen. I really enjoyed the "family" aspects of this book (and the whole series). It brings out the truth that you don't have to be blood-related to be family.
I love this book, and am looking fo the final book in the trilogy...
Set in Monterey, California, this first novel in the Dream trilogy features Margo Sullivan, the feisty and beautiful daughter of a wealthy family's housekeeper. She's been offered the same privileges as the Templeton children, but Margo resents handouts. She feels she has much to prove to herself, her surrogate family, and her mother. Margo dreams big--she wants wealth, fame, and success--but she doesn't want anyone else's help. Her plan is to go as far away from home as possible, so she starts with Hollywood and then moves on to Europe, where she finds fame as a supermodel. But when her world comes crashing down around her, Margo discovers that reaching out for help--especially to your family--can be just as challenging and rewarding as solving your problems on your own.

FIRST OF THE DREAM TRILOGY, GOOD BOOK STARTING ON FINDING THE DREAM NEXT
It's a good read. Nora Roberts almost always is.
Read the story about how three women of different backgrounds who through circumstances were raised in the same household. They shared childhood, and those loyalties, and the friendship that comes to mean family. They also share a dream inspired by a tragic legend. But each has a separate and personal dream of her own. In this story you read about Margo, the housekeeper's daughter, it is to be someone. And when her world falls apart, there is nowhere to go but home. What does a woman do when she's lost everything she thought mattered to her? How does she handle the humiliation of public scandal and financial ruin? Margo starts from scratch with a new dream, a daring one. With the women who are the sisters of her heart, she works to make that dream a reality, one they can share. Margo's story is one of self-discovery, of risk and reward. And, of course, of love. The attraction between Joshua Templeton and Margo has simmered since they were children. Acting on that attraction as adults-stubborn, headstrong adults-and learning to accept each other as they are, is another risk, and still another dream.
The beginning of the Templeton sisters trilogy. This one is about Margo who does things the way she wants regardless of the consequences. Maybe things would be different if she was sweet like Laura or had a head for business like Kate. She craves her mother's acceptance more than anything in the world. Good story.
Good series as always!
This trilogy of books is a wonderful read that you will want to revisite again and again.
Wonderful. Follow along with these three "sisters" as they each find their dream.
A very good book and a great start to the trilogy!

Margo,Kate and Laura were brought up like sisters amidst the peerless grandeur of Templeton House. But it was Margo whose dreams first took her far away.... Daring to Dream!
Love everything Nora writes!
An enjoyable Nora Roberts love story. A bit over the top on the detail of the trappings and lifestyles of the wealthy.
Love the Dream Trilogy. Easy read and nice story line.
