What a Tantalizingly Tangled Web... April 3, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Colonel Marcel Robicheaux is on the verge of retirement from the military when her life gets extremely interesting. Marcel's commanding officer's wife, Jordan, makes her attraction to Marcel well known and threatens to expose her as a lesbian. Marcel plays it straight until her retirement party and finally believes she has left Jordan behind.
After the party, things get even more interesting. As in Alice's chart on the L Word, everyone in Marcel's life seems connected in some way. First, Marcel believes she is in love with Amanda, her best friend's girlfriend. Amanda and Cricket have been together for a few years and Cricket seems restless. Cricket has had a crush on Marcel's mother for many years, and runs around on Amanda with other women. In fact, Cricket brings home Naomi -- a woman she's interested in, but pretends to hook up with Marcel. It seems Naomi actually IS interested in Marcel, not Cricket. However, Marcel's feelings for Amanda blind her to possibilities with Naomi.
Despite her infidelities, Cricket goes mad when she discovers Marcel and Amanda hooked up for a night. Amanda completely shuts the door on Marcel. Cricket, in her anger, makes a pass at Marcel's mother. Marcel opens her eyes to Naomi's interest.
Top everything off with a return visit by Jordan and a severe threat from her husband, and Herring delivers a great book that should not be missed.
A tangled web that is difficult to follow, but worth the try, 'Calm' is a great story that kept this reader alternatively on the edge of her seat and rolling on the floor with laughter. I'm impressed that Herring was able to keep the storylines organized and interesting. Highly recommended...

Again, Peggy J. Herring has written another winner. Love and waiting, hot romance, and true feelings. Life in the military. Watching what you say or do. Finding the Generals wife stalking her. Couldn't put the book down or turn the pages fast enough. Peggy writes true to life and I love that. Turns and twists through the book. I simply love peggy's writing.
Excellent story, gotcha plot August 13, 2003

Peggy writes another successful gotcha plot. You always enjoy her erotic scenes, and honey, you'll like this one. She builds her characters and you get your money's worth with Peggy. Great read.

The writer had a God given talent for the art of an author. She grabs you up out of the nice comfy chair you are sitting in and she hurls you into her writings. You have no choice but to ignore your surroundings and delve deep into the very souls of the characters.It was as if she knew our very desires and wishes that were deep in our souls where nobody had ever gone before. She dared to tap into that very being and take us to a place of desire and need. And then.... it ended. Making me wish there was an extension of the book. Whomever contracted with this author to write for them - needs many gold stars. She is AWESOME and I will continue to read her writings.
Quick read, good moments September 7, 2002

I read some of the previous reviews and agree with a few criticisms- but I did find the book pretty entertaining. It IS a very quick read, and the story starts with the Colonel retiring- so don't think you're going to get a lesbian military story here. No ma'am. But I liked the dialogue- which is really the only way you get to know the characters. And they come to life in their exchanges. I'd recommend this book as a quick, light read.
