1: Calder Promise
This book didn't hold my attention and say keep reading like the other books in the series did.
|
2: BROKEN PROMISE
I am really striking out with this type of book lately. My first read of Jane Dailey (given to me by a friend). I gave it back to my friend half way thru. What a selfish heroine and dull romantic leads. Laura and Tara deserved each other. This book and its characters are boring, self centered and have no redemptive value. No entertainment value either.
Can anyone suggest a good Calder book?

3: Calder Series by Janet Dailey
I love Janet Dailey's "Calder" Series. The stories were
very interesting and intriging to read.

4: Not quite up to par...sorry, I love this series though!
I, too, started reading this series when I was just a kid, sneaking into my mom's "secret stash" of romance novels she thought she hid from me! I just knew at an early age this continuing series was something great! But, I am so sorry to say I am disappointed with this latest in the Calder family. This girl is rather annoying, she thinks she says clever things and acts tantalyzing, when she is completely immoral! How is she playing hard to get by stripping naked to retrieve a coin she tossed into the Trevi Fountain!? I will most likely read the next book as it is about Quint Echohawk and the Logan/Cat story was pretty good. If you have to read this because you hate to miss anything in this series then please pick it up at the library in the free pile or library book sale like I did (sorry amazon, I do love you though)I give this 2 stars because I just love the Calder's.

5: Horribly bad book
I picked this book up because I was in the library and a little bored, and I had a dim recollection of thinking that Dailey had good characters. As far as 'dim' goes, it was a 5-watt idea.
The plot is something like an heiress named Laura is traveling Europe with her father's first wife, Tara and two guys, both "sultry," handsome and sexually magnetic, fall in love with her, the night they meet her. What's a girl to do?
Why should you never pick this book up? Because Laura's character has no depth--she's not even "too perfect" she's just too dumb. With her astounding good looks--"she knows it", her 'charm', her continuous conquests, her stupid jump in the fountain, I literally tossed this book aside in disgust.
I'm sorry Dailey. I respect you as an author and am sorry to see you not equalling the potential your earlier books showed. All readers out there, if you're looking for books with good characters and engaging stories.... look elsewhere.
