Daring to Dream is the first in a trilogy of books by Nora Roberts. And, even though the books have beautiful new covers and I haven't ever seen them in bookstores before, they are not new books. Even so, I loved the first one and can't wait to read the others (I have purchased the other two and they are on my bookshelf, but I have promised my husband that I will read The Hobbit first).
Daring to Dream is a book that actually tells a good story and I was so excited to read a lovestory with a new, innovative plot that was unpredictable. The characters were like no others that I had read about (and when you read as much as I do that's saying something!) and I was excited to read their stories. Margo and Josh are the main characters in Daring to Dream, even though we also meet Margo's mom, Ann, Josh's parents and sister, Laura, and a friend of the family, Kate throughout the course of the booko. Margo, Laura, and Kate are best friends and grew up together. The book even begins with a scene when the girls are young, which really helps to set the stage and the tone of the book. And, even though this is Margo and Josh's story, we get to know a bit about Laura and Kate in the book, too.
Nora Roberts writes loves stories so I knew that ultimately I was going to be reading a love story, but it was not a trashy love story, nor was it a predictable story. I can't wait to read the next book (Holding the Dream) in the series. But, alas, The Hobbit is calling my name.
Happy reading!
