This is the WORST book EVER. It is basically a Harlequin romance discuised as a mystery/thriller. Blech.

The parts that I enjoyed the most about this book are VERY tangential. The book was originally published in 1987 and there are lots of cultural references that are very era-specific. I cracked up laughing about the heroine expressing her ability to make lemonade by opening a can of concentrate and mixing that with a bottle of club soda. The description of her wearing a red fox coat as a sign of affluence along with many other descriptions had me picturing her as a Shelly Long type of character, as portrayed in Troop Beverly Hills. I have a hard time every rating any romantic adventure book higher than a 3 star rating. This is no exception. The only thing really different or special about this book is how it really is a snapshot of a VERY different time. It highlights the evolution of our culture in many ways, beyond lemonade recipes. Gender roles are more traditional and "romance" is more alluded to rather than graphic. Witnessing the passage of time was rather charming, but I can't say this is super high on my list of recommendations for any of my friends that have similar book taste.

A very good book ... I read it in one day ... I couldn't put it down! Two people with almost opposite personalities are the lone survivors of a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness and must rely on each other to survive. They face various trials and although they try hard to deny their attraction to each other, they can't. A good love story!

I first read Two Alone when I was a teenager and would buy romance novels from the public library's sale bin, at the time I remember I really liked it. Re-reading it as an older, slightly more mature person, I have to say that I found the hero to be a bit too sexist and misogynic for my liking. You can definitely tell this story was written in the eighties - but still, 2.75-3 stars because I like a happy ending.

PopSugar '16 #12--book recommended by someone you just met (met online, but still!)
This was recommended by readers on Smart Bitches, Trashy Novels. I tried to keep in mind that it was written in the 80s while I was reading. However, even that couldn't help the ridiculously misogynistic, surly, rude rendering of the hero--or the feeling that the heroine brought a lot of the hatefulness on herself just because she was pretty. Ugh. Would never recommend this.

Todo bien con la idea del “macho alfa”, pero...
“Ni siquiera te diste cuenta de que esos dos bestias querían violarte. Hiciste todo lo que pudiste para alentarlos, ¿no? Sentarte junto al fuego cuando sabes lo que le hace al color de tu piel y a tus ojos. Cepillarte el pelo. Sabes cómo afectan todas esas cosas a un hombre...”
NO.
