Summary: Good Book
Review: This book was very good and I enjoyed reading it. Michael and Laura were perfect for each other. I liked how Michal interacted with her children and how he handled Laura's older and more difficult daughter who gave her an attitude sometimes.

Summary: If you like the MacGreggors, you'll love the Templetons!
Review: This book was very moving and touching. Laura had everything, lost what most would think would be everything to a greedy ex-husband. But Laura knew she got the better deal out of the divorice - her children, her friends and her family, and eventually the best treasure of all - the true meaning of love.

Summary: Sloppy writing
Review: This book, like all of Nora Roberts' books, is very enjoyable. The characters were interesting, and the relationship of Michael with Laura's daughters was really lovely. However, the writing in this book was kinda sloppy. In "Daring to Dream", everyone was surprised when Margo and Josh fell in love. In this book, everyone seems to have known it was going to happen. There was no explanation for how they found coins on the cliffs when the treasure was hidden in a cave. Michael has two horses named Lulu. Michael was told twice that Byron and Kate were expecting. Maybe these are picky points, but it gets confusing following the plot when there are inconsistencies in the details. I think the "Born In" series and the Cordina books were much better written.

Summary: fabulous book!!!!
Review: This is one of my very favorite Nora Roberts books. Ms Roberts treats the reader to what is (in my opinion) the perfect romance. Michael Fury is the kind of man women fantasize about - all male, slightly bad, and sinfully attractive. It is an excellent read.

Summary: A great end to a great series
Review: This series wasn't as good as either the Born In trilogy or the Maryland Eastern Shore trilogy, but it was great in its own right. (Which tells you just how wonderful the other trilogies are as well.)I loved this book because it really developed not just the romance between Laura and Michael but also the family. Over the course of the novels, we've seen Laura face adultery, divorce, and the heartbreak of her children. In this novel, Ms. Roberts brings it all together and shows not only Laura learning to love again, but Michael forging father/daughter relationships with Laura's children. Wonderful, Ms. Roberts. Simply marvelous. I can hardly wait for the next trilogy (which I hear will return us to Ireland!). No one does trilogies -- especially about families -- like Nora Roberts.

Summary: Loved this book!
Review: This was a great book which told Lauras' story and the finding of Seraphinas' treasure. I had read this one first and have just finished it for the second time after reading the first two books of the series. The characters and continuance of story line made more sense this time and gave new meaning and flavor to the story. I would like to see another book or two with this family. Perhaps Alison or Kayla (or even Anne!) could have love change their lives. ('Living the Dream' and 'Loving the Dream'?) Laura and Michael could have a daughter named (of course) Seraphina! Ms. Roberts, Keep up the good work!

Summary: A wonderful end to a wonderful series. A true favorite
Review: This whole series is wonderful. It is about strong women doing what they have to do to make their place in the world. It is about three strong women who are basically starting over. This book in particularly is about Laura Templeton. She is a divorced mother of two children. She is proud and strong. She won't cash in on her family name and instead works hard to make time for her children, take care of herself and make a living. Gradually, she gets to know Michael Fury, an old friend of her brother. As they get to know each other, true love blossoms. This is not just true love in an easy sence, but a love based on respect and common interests and strong wills. Wonderful. This is a great series. Although each book can stand alone, why not start with the first book in this series and read all three in order. I find that the characters build on themselves and grow as you read the books in order.

Summary: A Steamy Bodice-Ripper With a Happy Ending
Review: Two years after her loveless 10-year marriage to Peter Ridgeway has ended, Laura Templeton is immersed in working two part-time jobs, raising her two daughters, and running the Templeton estate in Monterey. Peter managed to wipe out most of Laura's considerable assets, but she still has the home and a job working in one of the Templeton hotels. Her life is hectic and overscheduled, but basically lonely. Enter the dark, mysterious, brooding Michael Fury. Raised nearby but on the "wrong side of the tracks", Michael had been a good friend of Laura's brother, Josh, but had left the area right after high school to live a life of danger and adventure. Michael is back in the area, raising and breeding horses, but his stables and home were destroyed in a mudslide and Josh convinces Laura to let Michael rent her unused stables until he can rebuild. Having married Peter at 18, Laura has little experience with dating or flirtation, and has compartmentalized and organized her life, leaving no room for dating or passion. When Michael strikes her a spark in her, she is confused and in denial, but he pursues her relentlessly. He is charming, sexy, good with animals and wonderful with her two daughters. The usual misunderstandings, protective family, meddling friends, and circumstances attempt to thwart their romance, but after all this is a romance novel, so you know the guy gets the girl in the end. I didn't realize that the book was part of a trilogy, but the characters and scene are so captivating that the book stands alone and is a quick, entertaining, satisfying read.
