Publisher's summary

In the second book of Nora Roberts’s Dream Trilogy, the ever practical Kate Powell finds her career sidetracked by a scandal - one that will teach her the value of family, friendship, and love...

Surrounded by the sweeping cliffs and beauty of Big Sur, Kate Powell treasured both her life at Templeton House and the family who raised her like one of their own. Although Kate lacked Margo’s beauty and Laura’s elegance, she knew she had something they would never possess - a shrewd head for business.

Driven by ambition, Kate measured her life’s success with each soaring promotion. But now faced with professional impropriety, Kate is forced to look deep within herself - only to find something missing in her life...and in her heart.

Story good, narrator...ok

I love Nora Roberts and would have enjoyed the story better if the narrator was different. I really don't like her voice and will not complete the series because of it.

Read the book, skip the audio.

Romance and Mystery

Excellent narrator gave life to the different characters. The romance was complimented by the mystery. An enjoyable listen.

Good story, terrible lead character

I'm about halfway through this book and will finish it because I'm liking the series. However the lead character, Kate, is almost unbearable. She's more annoying and weak and her personality is the worst. I guess I'll bear it to finish this book in the series.

Corny

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

quite disappointing for a book by Nora Roberts, especially after reading `The Witness'. Boring story and such horribly affected voice

Has Holding the Dream turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sandra Burr?

Nobody can be as bad as Sandra Burr. The worst female narrator I've listened to from Audible. Reminds me of primary school concert performances

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Any additional comments?

No
