Summary: A fast, sexy read..( 4 1/2 stars)
Review: Let me just say that I LOVE STRANDED STORIES. "Two Alone" was a great one. I liked the fact that the story jumped right in at page one and just kept going. The characters of Rusty and Cooper were fanatstic together..Cooper was SO ALPHA and Rusty was his perfect match. As much as I loved this story..for some reason I cant explain it just didnt feel like a 5 star read. I was a bit disappointed by how quickly the ending was wrapped up and that their reconciliation was told to the reader rather than shown. However, even with its flaws..this book was and is a keeper for me.

Summary: One of Sandra's Sexiest Offerings
Review: OK, so the plot line is hackneyed: Beautiful self-possessed businesswoman and angry hiding-his-hurt-beneath-rough-exterior Vietnam Vet survive a small plane crash and are forced to rely upon each other to survive.Every cliche known to man is in this book, from the sheet rigged up to provide each with a "private" bath in the small cabin they discover (think Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in "It Happened One Night") to the city girl learning to cook, and the survivalist male learning to bend a bit. With all that, though, this book works, because Sandra Brown again weaves her magic. I could't turn the pages fast enough to find out just when (not if) Rusty and Cooper would finally come together in body and mind. It takes quite a while, actually, and during that time, the two must learn to respect and accommodate each other's differences. Instead of a huge yawn and an "oh no, not again," Brown manages to make this relationship truly interesting, and engages the reader so that one really cares what happens. And that is Brown's great talent, the one that pulls her above the usual cheap-romance drivel. Yes, the couple is rescued, but there is no happily-ever-after the minute they hit civilization. In fact, if anything, the rescue seems to destroy the relationship they so carefully evolved when relying on only each other. Can their love survive the real world? Read it and see. This is a great, cuddly bathrobe-fuzzy slipper type of romance, one to savor and enjoy.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST FROM THE BEST!
Review: Romance readers, if you are looking for sensuality then you'd be remiss not to check out this author's books. I've read most of Sandra Brown's books and find them all to be keepers to be re-read again and again. Ms. Brown does not disappoint us in "Two Alone." She grabs you from the first sentence in this one; and doesn't let got until the last page. The story is one that may have been done before but of course this author puts her own personal twist on matters. She develops the relationship between Rusy Carlson and Cooper Landry in a most provacative way, that leaves your tongue hanging out to find out just how long it will be before the two "destined for each other" find out for themselves that their love is fated. Not only romance, but much drama. Check this lady out, she's dynamite. Whether she's writing contemporary or historical romance stories, she is great.

Summary: A fast and fun Read!
Review: Sandra Brown, "Two Alone", Mira Books, 1987 (previously published under pseudonym Erin St. Claire) finds Rusty the beautiful, almost 30, red headed, successful business woman, and Cooper the muscled, past 30, blonde, forlorn 'Nam vet, the sole survivors of a terrible plane wreck somewhere in the uncharted wilds of Canada's North West Territory. Can they survive the pending wintry storms? Can they survive the hidden passion neither is willing to acknowledge? Can Cooper purge the pain of a past betrayal and accept that Rusty is much more than a simple, stunning, city girl? Can Rusty put a dent in Coopers carefully constructed psychological armor? Anticipation of the inevitable keeps Cooper literally "at attention" for half the story (poor guy). At the same time Rusty is dry mouthed, apprehensive yet intrigued about what might be. Once survival is insured, can a sizzling encounter be far away? With Sandra (AKA Erin), you know it can't. Sort of predictable, but I did like it, even though I couldn't believe Coopers resistance to a willing Rusty. No breathing male should have been able to resist such charms. Since he did (painfully resist) for 160+ pages I suspect that Sandra ran out of other ideas to heighten the impact of the inevitable conclusion. Regardless a fast and fun read, highly recommended.

Review: This story reaches into your heart and makes you understand the truth about unconditional love. Rusty gives her love unconditionally and makes sure Cooper knows it. She gave it everything she had. And she won his heart.

Summary: Not One Of Sandra's Best
Review: Usually I read one of Sandra Brown's books in 1-2 days. This book, Two Alone, took me 4 days to read. It could not hold my interest enough to even pick it up. The story starts with Rusty and Cooper, who are the only survivors of a plane crash. They have to depend on each other and survive in the woods till they are rescued. The story, to me, really didn't go anywhere. I didn't even enjoy Rusty and Cooper like I felt I should since they are the main characters. Rusty was whiney throughout the book and Cooper was rude and inconsiderate most of the time. To dislike each other so much they sure fell in love awful quick. This is definetely not one of Sandra Brown's best books, I enjoy her newer novels much better.
