5.0 out of 5 stars Giving In to Temptation, February 20, 2008

By	Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars The next exciting installment of The Garrisons series, October 15, 2007

By	Helen Slifer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Brandon Washington was best friends with the Garrison family and they were his law firm's biggest client. 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.

Cassie had love John Garrison as much as her mother Ava Sinclair had. John had raised her
to be the manager, and eventually taking over as the owner Garrison Grand-Bahamas Hotel. Parker keeps calling Cassie, and she just wanted him to go away and leave her alone. She wasn't going to sell her out. Then a tall, dark, and handsome man checked into her hotel and he would be changing her life forever. What will happen when she fines out that Brandon Jarrett was the Garrisons attorney?

Brenda Jackson has brought to life the love of a father for his child, in this exciting installment of The Garrisons series. Brandon must come to terms that Cassie was not the evil half sister that the Garrison family thought her to be. However it was hard to be loyal to his friends
as Brandon becomes closer to Cassie. I was turning the pages quickly to see if Brandon couldn't undo the damage that his lies had caused. Pickup a copy of Stranded With The Tempting Stranger and see if love can find a way.
