Storm

Sweet book just like life it self.

Calder Storm

Each and every one of the eight Calder books have been outstanding. I felt like I personally knew each and every member of the Calder family by the time I finished the last book. I can only hope that Janet Dailey will do some more sequels. She is an outstanding author and I have read her books for years, but the Calder books are the best yet.

Calder Storm by Janet Dailey

I haven't had an opportunity to read this book yet, but am really looking forward to it. Of all the books written by Janet Dailey, I have always enjoyed the "Calder Saga" books the best. These books are about several generations and members of the Calder family, and when I read them I feel as if I'm reading about old friends. In the past, I have spent many hours of leisure time with members of the Calder family and look forward to even more!

Wonderful Book

Any book by Janet Dailey is wonderful! I read it in one setting. A must have!

Calder sage still strong

The characters come to life, just as in her past books about the Calders. Janet Dailey has done a great job in staying consistant with the Saga. Family ties and the people involved, the scenes that she describes makes you feel like you are there.

Good, Relaxing Read,,,

I have read all in the Calder Series and will continue to read for as long as Ms. Dailey continues to write about them. This was a nice addition. Not as emotionally engaging as the first 3 or 4 but worth the time. Young Trey has fallen in love and fallen hard. Truly, if ever there was love at first sight, this was it. Sloan, his love, was a little slower in getting there but could not escape the magic for very long. They got married and then old Max Rutledge starting his campaign to tear this young couple apart - quite successfully. Ms. Dailey tracks how this fantasy love slowly dissolves as it falls prey to distrust, innuendos, malice and old wounds ending with Sloan leaving Trey for the enemy's camp. It is a little disconcerting that Sloan would and could not believe the Calders unless she had heard directly from the "horses mouth" what he was up to. Love alone would not have conquered all. Sloan did not go through the same process that Dallas in Lone Star did in which she concluded that her love for Quint was the most important thing. All's well that ends well however as soon Sloan returns to her home and the genuine love and care that the Calders have to offer. Some other observations: I read my first Calder book (Stands A Calder Man) at 17 so I have been growing up with them. I found that I could not quite relate to Trey as a true hero. Despite Ms. Dailey struggling mightily to equate the physical and the physique to the legendary Calder's indomitable spirit, Trey came across at times (just sometimes now) as indifferent at best and downright shallow at worst. Yes he was young but so was Chase when we first met him. Ty was even younger. I was also deeply troubled by the callous way JD dealt with Tara's death. Yes, I know that she was meddle-some, arrogant and over-stepped the boundary but she has been a part of their world for such a long time that she deserved more. Firstly, she was minding her own business in her own house when Sloan came and asked for her help. She did not hesitate. She instinctively sacrificed herself for the baby. Yet as she lay dying, instead of reflexively attending to her, these two were busy kissing and was kissing for such a long time and in such an absorbed way that it was only the baby that brought them back to awareness. It was Laredo who came offered help. And then after she died, they just left her there. At the big re-union at The Homestead nobody even mentioned her. I was most disappointed. But that bespeaks more to Ms.Dailey's mindset than to these two. She nonchalantly and happily kills off people whom we have come to love for absolutely no reason. Here she not only kills off Tara but does it in a most disgusting way. There is absolutely no reason why Tara couldn't have survived in today's world. Seems she is not happy unless some-one dies. Again, I would definitely recommend this book.
