Rating: Summary: Great, reminds me of Harrison Ford movie! Review: An ex-POW, Cooper, and gutsy woman, Rusty, survive a plane crash in the middle of nowhere. If things didn't present challenge enough, they meet up with two opportunists... Great characters, SANDRA BROWN is Erin St. Claire. Fast-pased, terrific story and sultry romance. IN short, GREAT STUFF.
Rating: Summary: One of Sandra Brown's BEST! Review: I have read several of Sandra Brown's books, this one in particular, I've read several times! From the beginning, when Rusty and Cooper had to rely on each other for survival, until the end when all that mattered was the love they shared for each other, I was mesmerized. It simply was one of the best love stories, I have ever read.
Rating: Summary: Three and a half stars because Review: I loved the first 3/4's of the book. Their chemistry was right, the setting was right and the characters were well written...stereotypical yet believable. While they were stranded, it was perfect. Once they were saved, I really forgot to pick the book up everytime I put it down.Near the end of the story we were given such great dialogue as..."shut up!" and "your idea sucks and so does your daughter!" Hmmm, wouldn't I love to meet a man who talks like that? All in all the book served its purpose; and that being just a light, quick read to pass the time. I will give credence to the fact that it's very early work for Ms. Brown and she no longer writes romance novels.

Rating: Summary: A Great 'Stranded Tale'...Don't Miss! Review: I picked this up on a whim since I do love Sandra Brown and was shocked. This was an excellent older book! Written in the late 80's it definitely has the broody guy with a chip on his shoulder and the independent woman trying to come to terms with her independence and love for the hero but this one was a little different. The heroine doesn't change to suit the hero! Yippee! I LOVED it! The hero also didn't change, but they both LEARNED to become better people and to love one another as is.
Very emotional at times and very romantic, these two characters literally sizzled off the pages! They felt so real to me that I had to wonder if In actually was intruding on some adventure. It's rare to come across a story that brings you so deep inside that you loathe to end it and this one just ended way too soon for my tastes. Just under 250 pages it should've been longer.
A plane crash leaves two people stranded in the Canadian wilderness without food or shelter and with the oncoming of winter's deadly storms. One an independent and beautiful woman from LA and another a broody and angry loner from the Sierra's and not long out of Vietnam.
The chemistry is unreal here, Ms. Brown really took these two and fleshed them out. Kudos to her for touching on the war and POWs. More needs to be said about their great courage and sacrifice. And thanks for not making the heroine a whiny & complaining rich heiress. Its refreshing.

Rating: Summary: I loved this book! Review: I thought that Two Alone was a great book! I have not read one of Sandra Brown's books that I haven't enjoyed and this book was no exception. Rusty is a spunky individual who proves that she is not a pampered, spoiled brat and Copper falls under her spell quickly.

Rating: Summary: Great, reminds me of Harrison Ford movie! Review: In this novel Sandra Brown tells the story of a plane crash that takes the lives of six people. The only survivors are Rusty Carlson and Cooper Landry. After the brutal plane crash the befuddled, terrified (and yet optimistic) Rusty Carlson drags an unconscious Cooper Landry out of a plane wreck saving his life. Because of the unusual surrounding, there is the role reversal of who saves whose life throughout the novel, both specifically and abstractly. This is a great story by Sandra Brown. This is definitely another book that makes it on to my list of recommendations! Though a bit predictable at certain times, I think there are just the right twists and turns in her plot that make the book unbelievably addicting. Two Alone is the classic story of a man and woman stranded on a desert island, and is very hard to put down! I really enjoyed this novel. I think this is another shining example of the exquisite creativity that Sandra Brown has continued to show over the years. I can only hope she continues to put forth the same quality of work.
