Final call by this voracious reader:Highly recommend "Stranded" to anyone who enjoys a good ménage piece, with descriptive, heated, sexual scenes and  sweet, passionate feelings of true love, lust and awesome detailed surroundings, but especially if you're in need of a vacation to an uninhabited island!Sweet!My specific thoughts:As a publisher who reads many amazing manuscripts in my day job (and some not as amazing ones too) I'm very picky when it comes to my pleasure reads and Ms. Bridger did not leave me disappointed!From beginning to end the passion, love, conflict and resolution were excellently portrayed.Rather then simply read this erotic romance, I lived it.  I felt like a voyeur, a participant even; stranded on the island with the sexy, curvaceous, nymphomaniac, Giselle and her two hot-bodied male co-stars Blake and Dale.At first, I watched as the trio as they made their new living situation the best they could, seeing the detail of their luscious surroundings, envisioning the make-shift home within the trees and almost feeling the heat from the blinding white, sun-baked sand of the island.When the writer began to outline what I personally thought was the first "really" fantastically intense ménage scene, (although the duo scenes prior were quite hot too!) it almost felt like I was right there, living in the moment,  feeling the touch of the participants, hearing the moans and viewing the moonlight as Ms. Bridger masterfully created the intense, sinfully delicious romantic encounter.She went on throughout the book with more such ardent and vivid scenes, bringing both the beauty in the scenery and the rendezvous to mind with such stunning clarity.Ménage can be a tricky scene to play out properly, ensuring all the characters are engaged in believable and possible ways when coming together, but it was done with such grace and aplomb of her pen as to bring life, love and such deep, unbridled passionate feelings to the work.  Such true, probable and desirable situations!  Whew!  *fans self*The eventual conflict of the book was shared in such a way that I was empathetic with the characters in their plight.  The emotions felt by Giselle, her husband and her best friend literally leapt off the page and kept me riveted, unable to put the book aside until it was done.Without giving spoilers I was at first sort of depressed with what I had expected the obvious resolution and conclusion to be, but then Ms. Bridger surprised me with an incredible and definitely unexpected twist at the closing.Well done Ms. Bridger!!
