It was predicted that the Westmoreland children would all find love at first sight. That is not going to be the case for avowed bachelor, Stone Westmoreland, in STONE COLD SURRENDER. In this fourth installment of the Westmoreland series, Stone is following in his Uncle Corey Westmoreland's footsteps--a bachelor to the end. Uncle Corey has an entire mountain to himself and has declared it off limits to women. Both men are affirmed bachelors until the Winters' women step into their lives.

After a very sensual take-off from Atlanta to Montana, Madison Winters meets Stone. In a very short time, the two realize an instant attraction that simmers on the edge of each one's consciousness. Madison, a schoolteacher from Boston, is on a mission to find her mom and bring her home or at the least find out what's gotten into her. Abby Winters is acting in a fashion very uncharacteristic of a widow and mother in her daughter's eye, and it is especially worrisome because a man is involved.

Stone becomes completely enchanted with Madison, but he doesn't want to admit it. He likes bachelorhood and doesn't want to make a serious commitment, or so he thinks. When he realizes that Madison is somewhat inexperienced in the feelings of love and passion, he makes it his business to guide her through the discovery while helping her to locate her mother. Once they find Abby, their perceptions about love and life may change considerably.

Silhouette novels were always a favorite of mine in my youthful days, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why I gave them up, especially, after reading STONE COLD SURRENDER. Brenda Jackson is a great romance writer. Montana is not the most romantic place that I can think of, but add a couple of sensual individuals and Ms. Jackson's writing abilities and you have a wonderful and heartwarming love story that leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. I feel like a kid in a candy store having just discovered a new flavor.

Brenda Jackson has definitely done it again. This is a long awaited continuation of those fabulous Westmoreland men. Stone Westmoreland, a writer who is going away to his uncle's mountain for a little R&R and to write his next story, sits next to Madison Winters on the plane flight. Ironically, Madison is also heading to the mountain, but unbeknowing they are both headed for the same destination. Madison is in search of her "wayward" mother, who decides to remain in Montana for a few weeks instead of returning to Boston. Has Stone's cold heart been melted by the lovely Miss Winters? Stone has said in the past that he will not become involved with a romantic interest, but has this flight changed everything?

Madison, also is not interested in starting a new love interest. After being slighted by her fiance' Madison has shunned any romantic notions. However, when she accidently touches Stone in the seat next to her, sparks definitely flies and Stone's coldness begin to melt.

There are several surprises in this story. Ms. Jackson has certainly kept us up to date on the Westmoreland family as well as the other twists involving the Westmoreland. I enjoyed this book and look forward to other stories continuing the Westmoreland saga. I know there is a "Storm" coming and I am anticipating it.

Definitely, keep writing, Ms. Jackson!

Brenda Jackson writes an exciting story on how a young lady has to come to the realization that her mother has the right to fall in love and so does she. Madison Winters feels that her mother is acting out of sorts to only find her falling in love too while not realizing it. While Storm ensures himself that he had no plans on falling in love to only realize that when he set out to prove a point it only lead to the proven fact that true affection.

As Madson and Storm endure the challenge of each others love they
both must learn to trust again and when the turbulence of
relationships come about only their love can hold them together.

You must add this to your Brenda Jackson collection. This story comes from the Westmoreland series, Delaney's Sheik, Little Dare, and Thorn's Challenge. If you missed the others go back and get them. In this, Stone Westmoreland sounds like he is IT! I was not disappointed with this story at all, I hope that Ms. Jackson will tell the rest of the Westmorelands' story as well.

Brenda Jackson does it again with this book...Although it wasn't one of the best she has done, it is a good read! I love reading about the Westmoreland clan. I loved reading about Stone and how he falls in love with Madison. You should read (only if you have read the other books about the Westmoreland's).

But it's still a good story. I just hate because it's only 180 pages long. I think that's why I thought it was rushed. I don't believe that you can fall in love that fast in 2 days. You just met the man on the plane and then you're in love 2 days later. A little far fetched but it's all good. It's a Brenda Jackson novel that I'm glad to have in my collection.

this one was so hard for me to read..and the daughter was one the dumbest mission to find her mother who had clearly told her more or less she was fine...and i have to agree with what someone else said about her books..why are they in such a rush to get married

Of all the brother's stories that I've read from the Westmorelands, I like this one the least..the story was slow...i still have not finished reading it...I have moved on to Clint and Cole...even Durango, but this one I did not like...It was slow and hard to follow.sorry BJ

Exceelent book! Another great piece by Brenda Jackson! As if she could write a bad book!

Let me just say that I have every book that Brenda Jackson has out...even the ones that were out of print, from the Silhouette Desire series, to the Mass Market paperbacks to the Arabesque to hardcovers. This is the first book I have ever read from her that has me saying "It's just okay".
Now, I'm NOT saying that the book is bad. It's good.I didn't feel the intimate connection between the characters that I usually feel.
I am still looking forward to all of her upcoming books.
