Calder Promise (Thorndike Press Large Print Core Series)

Summary: I Agree With Why Do I Bother
Review: Expecting the great Calder saga that came alive in her first three books, it is so disappointing to see the way Janet Dailey is now writing. I bought her first book over 25 years ago when it was released. This Calder edition has another beloved character killed and not even mentioning some of the family. It's hard to get a close feeling to the new characters because we miss the old ones too much!!!

Summary: VERY disappointed
Review: I've always been one of the first to buy Janet Dailey books and have read all of the Calder writings. This in NO way compares to her previous Calder stories, in fact I had to actually make myself finish it. No real point of the story unless we zero in on Laura and her inability to choose which one of the available men to sleep with ... and how soon. It will be a LONG time before I buy another Janet Dailey book -- believe she's lost her touch -- it's time to look at other authors.

Summary: IT'S OKAY....
Review: TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO...I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROMANCE NOVELS BECAUSE OF THIS SERIES...I HAVE READ THE FIRST THREE BOOKS IN THE CALDER SERIES AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES!! I CAN'T LIE AND SAY THIS BOOK IS AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONES...BUT IT'S A DELIGHTFUL READ...AND AFTER ALL WHEN YOU FEEL AS THOUGH THE CALDER'S ARE YOUR OWN FAMILY...IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO CATCH UP ON THE "GOSSIP" OF WHAT IS GOING ON...AND TO "WATCH" THEM ALL GROW AND AGE!
