I did it, and I liked it.
Holding the Dream was well written, suspenseful and fun - a great relaxing read. Of course there was plenty of romance but I was not expecting the mystery aspect and it really reminded me of a grown-up Nancy Drew. I found myself needing to continue and read
Finding the Dream and will probably go back and read the first sooner or later too.
B&N says ~ Roberts continues her three-part saga of the Templeton Hotel dynasty
with the story of Kate Powell, the serious, pragmatic, adopted cousin of
the Templeton heirs, Josh and Laura. Margo Sullivan, the housekeeper's
daughter and heroine of Daring to Dream, is now blissfully wedded to
Josh and expecting their first child; Laura has divorced her cheating
husband and is struggling to raise her two daughters; and Kate learns
that she has been accused of embezzling funds from her clients'
accounts. Byron De Witt, who replaced Laura's ex-husband at Templeton's
helm, offers Kate emotional and physical support and ends up falling
like a rock as he joins forces with the Templeton clan to clear her
name.
