Orphan at a young age, Kate Powell was raised by her aunt and uncle, Susan and Thomas Templeton, the heads behind the Templeton hotel chain. They treated her like their own daughter and she never lacked for anything, but it left her with the feelings that she owe them everything and must always be the best. When the hardworking and pragmatic accountant suddenly find herself accused of commiting fraud by her employers, she find solace at Templeton House and Pretense, the retail store she co-ownThe second in the Dream Trilogy, and my least favorite of the trilogy. Usually the last is the best in Roberts' Trilogies, but this fell a little flat, as did the first book in the series.This is about three women growing up in the same household who become sisters: The "princess", the housekeeper's daughter, and the orphaned cousin. After high school they find their own paths, but those paths are what they thought they should do. They come together when one of them falls, not realizing all
The cranky cousin who's raised by the rich family and taken completely in as a daughter still feels like she needs to pay them back for taking her in, by being a success. She works hard and earns her CPA and joins a prestigious firm near home and is on the verge of making partner when she learns her father-- who died in a car wreck with her mom when she was little-- was an embezzler. Then she's accused of embezzling herself, and she cracks. Also, there's a guy. He works for her family and she
Holding the Dream, the 2nd book in Nora Roberts Dream series continues with the story of Kate Powell, cousin and adopted daughter of the Templeton family.Kate is smart, focused, totally goal-orientated and practical and nothing like the beautiful and glamorous Margo, who we met in Daring to Dream, now happily married to Josh and expecting their baby and not a dreamer like the sweet Laura, who finally divorced her cheating and thief of a husband and struggling with bringing up her two beautiful
Was in love with the 3 girls at once.. so it didnt stop me finishing the Daring to Dream. I like Margo's style and spirit.... but oh dear I dont want to finish the Holding the Dream,,,,, Kate's character is without sense, making this book a trash, absolutely boringggggg, from my own point of view.
For being the practical one in this series, Kate became self-absorbed, her I am the best lawyer/daughter attitude. Surprised how she wanted to keep the Templetons from knowing the past about her father's stealing when they already knew. The continuing story of running the specialty store was nice, the concern for each other beyond normal. Annie the housekeeper plays a small part this time. Margo becomes pregnant creating home-feelings for Kate to want. Byron is exceptional as rich boyfriend,
Nora at her best!! But, then when isn't she? This is the second book in the trilogy and our over all story line is moving along wonderfully! I'm so thankful I didn't have to wait months between books. Kate has discovered a secret about her father that hits her at a low time in her life. It hits her physically, emotionally and professionally. But, luckily she meets Byron. He is *romantic sigh* so nice. This is a wonderful book! But, of course, It's Nora. 😊❤
