Rating: Summary: If you were waiting for this one, you wasted time. Review: Several years ago, I read the other Calder books and found them easy to read and entertaining. So I can't help but wonder if my taste in reading has changed so much or if this was just a dud. The main character, Cat, is a spoiled brat. Not only did I not like her, I wouldn't wish a woman like her on my worst enemy. According to the storyline, almost everyone hates the poor Calder family. If I lived in a town with this family, I would not doubt hate them too.
Rating: Summary: Lost Interest Review: Sorry...but after Maggie's character died in the last Calder installment...I lost interest. I think I cried for about two days after I read "Calder Born, Calder Bred" ---but then again, I was only 16. NEway...I skimmed through "Calder Pride" this afternoon in the library but I just couldn't bring myself to read about Maggie's family going on without her. It just didn't seem right, somehow. I keep hoping that Janet Dailey will come out with one final Calder book that will bring Chase and Maggie back together again. Only in my dreams, I suppose.
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT! Review: The book was excellent. It held my interest, and I loved all the characters. Can't waite for the next chapter!
Rating: Summary: Great keeps me comimg back for more Review: This is a great read. Dailey's Calder series is one of the first I ever read. This is one of the best books yet. Her writing of todays problems in life and how people are handling them and the feelings jump right off the page. I just love it.
Rating: Summary: For those of you who indulge in cowboy fantasies Review: This novel is great for those warm summer nights where you want to just sit back to a good old western novel. Having grown up near Montana this was an interesting read about western men in boot, horses, spurs, and all that ranch stuff. Maybe being an adult Easterner had me wondering how old fashioned this book was with all its mentioning of silver honcho belts, etc. I just don't buy that physical love is all that. Plus all the references to cattle runs, beef, and shotguns just made me cringe. Maybe it is my Sex and The City generation, but this romance is all about lawmen, horses, and a foolish young girl's one night stand in Texas resulting in an illegitimate child. The scenes of her ostracism for being an unwed mother despite her powerful family and the shotgun marriage five years later is way too backwards redneck. Every love scene of romantic tension between Cat and Logan seem more like estrogen and testosterone overload than "love". If you like men who believe in dominating women with old world rules, then read Calder Pride. Otherwise, indulge in Luanne Rice and Anita Shreve for some serious deep literary romance.
Rating: Summary: Typical Janet Dailey; tongue-in-cheek entertaining... Review: When Cat Calder's fiance is accidentally killed, she retreats to the family homestead to mourn, vowing never to give her heart to another man. But one reckless night with a handsome, gray-eyed stranger changes her life forever and gives her a son with striking gray eyes (naturally !)...
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: While Calder Pride has all the earmarks of another excellent Calder saga in the first half of the book, it soon fell flat. It was exciting and gripping all the way up until the main characters marry, in a way that I felt was totally unbelievable. Then suddenly with very little interaction between them, she's in love with him? Again, not plausible. And finally, the book eneded abruptly, as if Ms. Dailey suddenly lost interest. There was so much more that could have been done with this story, I was definitely disappointed.
