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.

Good Series

Nice example of Nora's earlier work. I like the diversity of the characters and the storyline is humorous and believable. Worth the listen.

Holding the Dream

My least favorite of the “Dream Series.” Even tho it’s still very good. It moves along more slowly than the others. I’d still recommend it to Nora Roberts’ fans.

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.

Nora at her best

You want to get Kate to relax, you want to get her to realise that life can be easier, especially if you have the support system she has.

But again, you have to read and you have to see how it ends and then you just HAVE to read the 3rd book because now you need to know if they find the treasure!

Kate was Kate until the end!

Nora Roberts crafted three different females joined by something they all had in common…love. Kate-of course-is one of my favorite. I particularly liked how we see her become. For so many of us women who have been shaped and driven by life events over which we had no control, Kate and her epiphanies and her determination to find her way to “life and life more abundantly” gave and gives us hope.

Dream Trilogy

Listened to many of the amazing Nora Roberts Trilogies. This ‘Dream Trilogy’ may be my most favorite. Have one more book to go. Late comer to her brilliance as a writer. Wondering if there are any other writers to compare… Where do we go from here?
Thank you, Nora!! Thank you!!!!

Great Book!!!

Loved it!!!! Nora's books are always so good... So far all the ones I have chosen have been fantastic. I can't wait to listen to book 3. I love the narrator she makes listening so enjoyable 😉..
