Praised be! - By: Alessa, 02 Feb 2008 I love this book. From trilogy, this is my favorite. Ever since I bought it a couple of years ago, I've gone back to it again & again. I just can't get enough of it!
While it's true that Margo seems a bit too spoiled & selfish at the beginning, you also come to understand her motivation for using her body--which is her only asset--to create a world for herself. Margo is not all bad. She's caring about her friends, &in her own way, she does things for them. She gives them support, & is there when they need her.
I liked Josh from the beginning. He could easily have been a very snobbish, spoiled person, but he wasn't. He cared very much about his sister & nieces. The good relationship between him & his family was evident, & that clearly says something about him.
Although we don't see much interaction between Margo & Josh, the reader does believe that there is a caring, loving relationship developing between them. Although Josh is a bit too possessive, it's reasonable since he's had to do without Margo for a very long time. Personally, I like them & think that they would be great people to know.
If you like the DREAM series, you may also want to try Tino Georgiou's bestselling novel--The Fates--if you missed it!
A wonderful beginning to the "Dream" trilogy. - By: Anne Cahill, 02 Feb 2008 I have to start by saying that I'm a big fan of most of Nora Roberts' trilogies & other groupings of books about families. That said, some are definitely better than others, & for me, this one was one of the best.
"Daring to Dream" is the first of this trilogy about "sisters of the heart" -- three women who grew up togetherin the same household. Margo Sullivan is the heroine of this tale, & she has spent most of her life trying to shed the "housekeeper's daughter" mantle that she wears with no small chip on her shoulder. She has made a name for herselfin modeling & has traveled the world, but when her career falls apart she knows there's only one place she can go, & that's "home".
Many readers who didn't care for this book seem to have felt that Margo was selfish & self-centered. While I agree on the latter, I wouldn't say that she was selfish at all. It was very clear that while she's very "me" oriented, she would have dropped anything at any time to help her friends if they needed her. She's an extremely realistic character, & that means that she is, of course, flawed. Those closest to her are always quick to point out her flaws --in fact, she often refers to them herself. But her best trait, they agree, is her loyalty, & this makes her the kind of person most people would want as a friend.
I also really enjoyed the love storyin this book. Josh Templeton, the "heir apparent" to a hotel fortune & her best friend's brother to boot, isn't at all the spoiled jet-setting playboy that some have said. In fact, he works ultra-hard during the course of the book to prove his own worth, to show that he deserves his success & is not just a trust-fund baby. He was the perfect match for Margo & it was sweeter (and all the more realistic) that he has loved her all his life.
A wonderful beginning to the "Dream" trilogy.
