Epitome of Urban Romance July 16, 2008 This book was great from cover to cover. Some romance novels start slowly and have several boring moments, but I did not find that to be the case in this book. The author was very decriptive and the love scenes were both beautiful and realistic. This is definitely one that I will re-read.
A GOOD QUICK READ June 17, 2008 Stranded is an installment in the Garrison saga from silouette. You do not have to read the other stories to understand the point the author is trying to get across.

Ms. Jackson is definitely a great writer and continues to spin great stories of love and family involving everyday issues of life.
This is the 4th book in the 2007 Harlequin Silhouette Desire series - The Garrisons, a story of love, money, hatred, deceit and intrigue.
Stranded With the Tempting Stranger by Brenda Jackson is Cassie Garrison's story of love, romance and intrigue! Cassie Garrison knows her father has another family in the United States, but her siblings do not know of her existence -- that is, not until the death of their father, John Garrison, who has been leading a double life.
John has been raising his family with his wife, Bonita, who has an alcohol problem, in the United States, but John also had made a new life with Cassie's mom in the Bahamas. This life changes drastically when not only Cassie loses her beloved mother, but now her father, John also dies shortly thereafter.
The Garrisons siblings lives are also changed. A change that they find difficult to deal with, especially Cassie's half brother, Parker, when they are given the news of their newly discovered half sister of the Garrison clan. Cassie's oldest half brother, Parker Garrison sends Brandon Washington, the Garrison's attorney on a mission. After Cassie has refused to negotiate with Parker and Brandon, Brandon decides he will go visit Cassie and try to convince her to Parker's way of thinking.
However, Cassie was not what Brandon thought she would be. After first setting eyes on Cassie, Brandon became captivated by her and she by him. They did not know who each other were and Cassie had no idea what motives Brandon had, however, when she did discover his motives, the sparks definitely ignited and flew! Would the flames that burned between Cassie and Brandon die out, smother or would they continue to burn despite Brandon's deceit? Would love win over the pain that Cassie felt? In order to uncover the details of being "Stranged With The Tempting Stranger" you must read the story!
Another great one, Ms. Jackson!
Love it January 31, 2008 I love this book and I want to know where are the other Garrison books? And have you ever heard of love at first sight? If not, maybe you shouldn't be reading romance novels. Especially fiction!
