When wildlife photographer Savannah Matthews takes an unexpected detour off of Belize’s scenic coast and becomes stranded on a lush, tropical island, she senses she’s about to encounter something wild and dangerous—something from a long ago, forgotten past.
What she does find, will change her life forever.
Scarred both physically and emotionally, Grant Duncan guards his privacy. Those who dare set foot on his private island come face-to-face with his fierce determination, and long-handled spear. But, when Savannah arrives, she challenges him like no other.
Will Savannah break through Grant’s barriers, and convince him God still has a plan for his life?

This is definitely a MUST READ. I absolutely loved it from start to finish (although I wish there was a lot more between those two points).
If you're looking for a vacation in the tropics, but you just can't get there - read this book! The descriptions are phenomenal. It's as if you're there, seeing it with your own eyes. Ms. Davy has a wonderful way of painting a moving picture with words.
For an inspirational (and yes, it VERY definitely is inspirational), the emotion between the characters flies off the pages! Your heart flutters along with Savannah's from a simple touch of Grant's fingers. From fear, to guilt, to empathy, you feel everything right along with them.
This is a classic retelling of Beauty and the Beast - and very well done! What a powerful little story with the wonderful message of God's grace!
What great insights. Wendy Davy is a remarkable story teller. In the pages of her short story, Stranded, we experience a bit of the retelling of 'Beauty and the Beast' though with an exotic location and a decided twist of faith. Savannah is on her way to an isolated locale near Belize for a photography assignment when strong currents and God's hand lead her lifeless boat to drift onto the shore of Grant's Island...isolated but for its tortured owner.
At first blush, Grant is intimidating, but Savannah recognizes he is also full of heart and a spirit she instinctively nurtures. Their chemistry is abundant, the love story top rate, and the setting is lush and wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed this story of redemption and the fulfillment of God's promise.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. Wendy is a gifted author and I eagerly await more from her!
A Beauty and the Beast style story set on a Caribbean Island.
I read a book by Wendy Davy in April that despite great reviews I really did not get on with. I was a bit dubious about picking this one up, but it fitted the beach challenge I was doing so I gave this author another chance. I'm so glad I did, because although a short read, it was definitely worth while.
