Stranded was a very good read. I was drawn into the plight of Oceans Delano and Marshall Cohen. We watch the relationship between Oceans and Marshall grow from strangers on the plane to partners trying to survive on a remote tropical island. They endure the possibility of never being rescued, of dying of tropical disease and/or being killed by angry boars.  They go through the trials of developing a relationship and the growing pains of falling in and briefly out of love. Refreshingly, they don't hop into bed in the first chapter of the book, we have to wait for it. And it is so delicious when they do come together. The story telling is vivid, the characters are human and well developed.  You wish the tale would simply go on and on. This is my first story by Ms. Pace, I am looking forward to many more. I am definitely a new fan!**updated my review** after I read the story again, I was moved by how wonderful the story truly is. What was I thinking?!! Definitely 5 stars.
