MIDSUMMER MOON by Doris Johnson is the story of June Saxton, an airline stewardess and Matt Gardiner, a member of the famous Mabel Food Company. The premise of the story is their inability to communicate verbally with each other and the havoc it causes. Duped monetarily by her friend during a business venture, June withdraws into herself becoming insecure and depressed. Matt saves the day for June but with her lack of trust in human beings, she cannot see the forest for the trees. Why would Matt make good on someone else's duplicity?This is my first time reading a romance novel by Doris Johnson and I found it delightful and somewhat different. Johnson's locales are serene and made for romance; she highlights large houses that are used to board multiple people, i.e., bed and breakfast type homes and she showcases nontraditional occupations. One concept that is familiar is the family theme running through the book, which is refreshing. Several couples and their relationship issues are touched upon which adds a nice flavor to the novel, giving you a different take on the personalities at play and their resolve. Add brooding males, strong willed females and other humorous characters and MIDSUMMER MOON becomes a pleasurable reading experience.Reviewed by Dawn R. Reevesof The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
