Stranded With The Tempting Stranger

As expected Brenda Jackson outdid herself. I was thoroughly mesmerized by the characters, the detail to the surrounding and mostly by the love that generated from the characters.

The Stranger was definitely tempting.

Some may say that you need to read the other books in the series to understand the story line, but it's not that hard to relate to this story without reading the other books. I truly loved this book so much that I read it in 1 day. Brandon and Cassie had a chemistry that was so hot. I loved the entire story and it has made me think about reading the other books as well.

Brandon was just as surprised the Garrison heirs when he read their father's will, and they found out they had a half sister, Cassie Sinclair-Garrison, who had been the manager of Garrison Grand-Bahamas Hotel. They were even more surprised when Brandon told them that she would now be the owner. Their father's will also give her and Parker her older half brother equal controlling interest in Garrison, Inc. Cassie would as control as Parker over all of the other stocks and financial growth in the company. Parker wanted to get Cassie out of the company as quickly as possible. Brandon decides that since Cassie wouldn't talk to Parker he would go to the Bahamas and find something that they could use against her make her sell her shares and hotel back to the parent company.
