Summary: "Simply Wonderful" is a suspenseful book
Review: "Simply Wonderful" was full of suspense. There was not much romance mentioned. What little romance was overshadowed by the suspense. The first couple of pages begin the suspense when the two mysterious strangers dump 'John Doe's' body. After Daisy discovered 'John Doe' in the compost pile, the suspense continues upon discovering that 'John' has amnesia and does not know who he is. Throughout the book, Daisy and 'John Doe' were trying to solve the mystery. There were references of books and TV shows which were mysteries. "Simply Wonderful" was in the same category - a mystery. The little romance involved a kiss or two by 'John Doe' upon Daisy's lips, a roughly stolen kiss by Chester by which his lip was bitten, and finally at the end of the book, reference to a love scene between Daisy and 'John Doe', who has now discovered his true identity, Kenneth Gunn, a private investigator. The title of the book, "Simply Wonderful" was based on Daisy's experience since meeting Kenneth and the excitement and intrigue of searching for his true identity and the reason for his being dumped on Daisy's property. "Simply Wonderful" was a good book, but perhaps should have been catergorized as a mystery or suspense book. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Lewis, but understand she is working on another book scheduled to be released in August, 2001. Perhaps the next book will hold true to its category of romance. I look forward to reading it.

Summary: This was simply not my cup of tea!!
Review: First of all this was not a love story. I base my opinion on that observation. Of course Daisy and Kenneth were the ideal romantic couple, but not in this story. This book was a mystery or some type of suspense novel, plan and simple. The storyline was perfect for a mystery novel. But even looking at this novel form that aspect, this book still would be two stars, in my book. The author swicthes charater thinking without making the cleat destinction. One sentence Daisy was thinking about her day, then next Kenneth was thinking about his memory problem. If that did not beat all, while in the middle of an important or significate part of the storyline, one character or another prolongs the situation about a good two pages thinking about stuff that has nothing to do with this very significate or important part of the story that is actually occurring at that moment. That had to be the thing that tick me off the most. I have never been angry that a book took so long to end, and this book was just over 200 pages. I don't know what happen, but the other Lewis book that I have read was nothing like this one. Simply Wonderful just did not have that romance quality to it in my opinion. Sorry if too harsh! All luck to Lewis!

Summary: Pleasant Read
Review: This was a short and pleasant read. Private Investigator Kenneth Gunn is working on a case for his friend when he is beat up and dumped in a greenhouse. When Daisy comes to investigate the noise she hears in the middle of the night, she is shock to find a man knocked out. When he comes to he has no idea who he is and how he got to Daisy's Rose and Garden shop. Throughout the book Daisy and John Doe(Kenneth) try to find out who he is and what he is doing in Guthrie, Oklahoma. In the process the begin to fall in love with each other. There is not a lot of romance between the couple. But this is a very enjoyable read.
