Summary: Caler Grass Not so Green
Review: Story was lack luster. Dailey made Ty seem wishy-washy. There were no strong signs of feelings that you usually get from Dailey. I was disappointed

Summary: WHY!
Review: Tell me Ms. Dailey--WHY? Why did you have to write this book! I was awake for hours angry at what you did. The Calder series introduced me to romance books, never again!

Summary: Great Green Calder Grass!!
Review: The best!!! I couldn't put it down, in fact I woke up early on vacation just to read it! The story held my attention from beginning to end and it left me wanting the next installment in this series NOW!! I have always enjoyed Janet Dailey, but "Green Calder Grass" made me feel as if I was in the story, living the emotions of Ty, Jessy and Chase from beginning to end. If you like anything by Janet Dailey, you'll LOVE this book.

Summary: green calder grass
Review: This book was a major disapointment. Through out the book I found myself wondering when the "romance" would begin. Not only was no chemestry between Ty and Jessie but no passion at all. When I was finished I was not left with the warm feeling most "romance" stories will leave you with but a feeling of frustration at the ending. Without giving the ending away I can only say I would never have bought the book or spent my time reading it if I had known the outcome. If you are looking for a book that will leave you with a warm fuzy feeling, this is not it. I will definatly think twice before I by another book by Ms. Dailey.

Summary: Not her best work
Review: This book was a major disappointment to a fan of most all of Janet Daily's novels. I generally like for there to be a little fire between the central characters. There seemed to be more chemistry between Chase and Buck than Ty and Jessy.
Also, I know this is just fiction but I think I hate Tara. She annoys me and just seems to detract from the story of two people who are very in love and trying to start a family while running a huge ranch. Having Ty die at the end of the story made me wish she had just quit with Calder Pride. I am sure I will probably read the next books, but I might wait until they come out in paperback next time.

Summary: I have a better plot!!
Review: Well, I only bought this book, after I checked the ending (you know, to make sure it's happy... nobody important dies etc...).
I can't quite explain how it happened (probably because I scanned the pages instead of reading), but I got the impression that Ty was wounded, and they didn't find the body. which seemed very logical to me, cause there was a preview from the next book, and there was a wounded cowboy who lost his memory (well, i scanned this too...).
So what a better conclusion then that Ty was wounded, thought dead (like it happened with Chase in the next book).
I thought- "Great! I love Ty and Jessy's story the best, now there are 2 more books about them. Let's buy them!"
What a mistake!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't seem like Ty and Jessy are as delighted for the twins as they should be, after having had miscarriages.
Tara remembers she loves Ty after 6 years of being divorced.
Ty thinks longingly about how it would have been staying married to Tara. When they kiss, it's interupted by someone. and it's described "innocent". Ty has no remorse for doing it, and in a typical macho way hits the guy who says something about his double morals.
The missing tension, I added with my fantasy of what is coming while reading (Ty almost sleeping with Tara. Tara finding Ty wounded with a memory loss. He only trusts her. Moves in with her after Jessy thinks he loves Tara, and it's the best for him. But love is stronger then anything, and Ty is drawn to Jessy.)
Isn't it much better?
And if somebody had to die- well.. Chase is kinda boring (if u get the hint, Janet), and unless he's gonna admit he loves Sally, the only thing for him is to die. and by natural causes.
Two books from now, Logan is dead, and somehow Jessy's daughter turns out to be like Tara.
That's it. I'm done.
NO MORE CALDER!!!!
For me it ended with "Calder pride".
This one's going to the garbage!

Summary: A Great Disappointment
Review: When I finished this book with its depressing ending, I couldn't help but think that the sole purpose of this novel was to set up the scenario for Dailey's next Calder installment. As a reader, I felt used. Most people read romance novels because they enjoy seeing relationships develop and they like happy endings (something we frequently don't get in real life). This novel was devoid of both these elements. Forewarned is forearmed: The tale is interesting enough, because Dailey is an accomplished wordsmith, but the conclusion will not put a sigh on your lips or a smile on your face.

Summary: Deeply Disappointed
Review: Why did Dailey have to revisit Ty, Jessy and Tara again? Their story was already done in Calder Born Calder Bred. I thought the arrival of twins after Jessy had had miscarriages (as mentioned in Calder Pride) was far fetched. Where was the love story? Tara barging her way back into their lives and making trouble was ridiculous. How on earth did she think that Ty would want her when she had gone behind his back? There were just too many holes in this plot. There were some poignant moments in the final scenes. Yes, in real life people die tragically all the time and people in love are separated but this was a novel we were reading and it just did not make sense. I don't think Dailey did justice to Ty's character instead I think she was too concerned with making Jessy into the next cattle queen. I think it was a mistake for Dailey to focus on Ty and Jessy's story again mainly because there was nothing much to say. We already knew they were madly in love and Tara's presence didn't change that. ... I think Dailey is a brilliant romance writer. She has wonderful complex characters and ignites emotions in the reader effortlessly and she has given me much pleasure over the years but sadly not this time....
