Calder Brand: A Beautifully Written Historical Romance Saga (The Calder Brand)
Janet Dailey's iconic Calder Saga is synonymous with everything readers have come to love in her novels: romance, adventure, and the epic mystique of the Old West. Now America's First Lady of Romance invites readers on a new journey with the first installment in a Calder series spin-off beginning in the late 1800s, as a cowboy named Joe Dollarhide joins the Calder family on one of the first cattle drives from Texas to Montana...
The Calder family patriarch is known throughout Montana as a force no one in his right mind would cross. But sometimes love can make a man do crazy things…
Ambition drove Joe Dollarhide across the parched plains from Fort Sam Houston to Dodge City. He was determined to one day have a spread every bit as impressive as his employer's. But when a wild stampede separates him from the cattle drive, it's not just survival that keeps him going. Joe has a burning need to settle the score with Benteen Calder, the cattle boss he used to worship. The man who'd left him for dead. Yet he'd soon have something greater than revenge to inspire him…
Sarah Foxworth is traveling toward her dream of becoming a doctor when she's attacked by a violent gang. Luckily, Joe is the one to rescue her-and win her heart. Still, she presses on to the future awaiting her on the frontier. But her plans, and her reputation, are ruined when she gives birth to an illegitimate baby…
Years later, Sarah reappears in Joe's world-with a son there's no denying is his own. Now a prosperous rancher, Joe yearns to finally build a life with the woman he's never forgotten. Only Joe's own road to riches has been strewn with obstacles, some still standing in his way. But time has also shown him that nothing worth having comes easy. And that Sarah is a woman worth fighting for…

I love the Calder series & had read older books in the series years ago. This newer version was an excellent story with lots of unexpected twists & turns. It was a true love story with a happy ending after many years of trials & heartbreak.

This is a book you will want to get the characters experience life with all the obstacles that could make them take the clear path or the Rocky road that can make their life's destiny end happy or sad it will keep you wondering what else can happen to them well worth the read

Well, after the disaster of Whirlwind I didn't expect much of this book. I am pleased to say that I quite enjoyed it, still not up to the normal Janet Dailey standard but a great improvement. It is still missing the passion she writes with and her wonderful love scenes. You really feel like you are there and that is still missing. It was nice to read about old beloved characters and I'm interested to see where this new Calder arc goes...
Loved the story. Apparently the Trust found someone who writes as though they're really Janet Dailey who passed away in 2013. I have all the Calder series books. They're getting a bit ragged due to multiple re-reading though. Perfect escapism reading. I was delighted to find the book on Amazon and don't have to wait my turn at the library. :-)

First I loved her original Caulder series. This one not. This did not belong with Caulder name it really had nothing to do with the wonderful family series. The story I considered boring and hers never are boring. Usually I-can’t put them down. I kept thinking it’s going to get better , it did not.
