Love Once in Passing Jo Ann Simon 9780380781546 Books

Really enjoyed it however I hated Jessica's behavior after the amnesia I thought that was a bit too much for the writer to bring in an affair between Jessica and Charles. I really felt for Christopher in that moment (how could she) overall it was a good read the flow of the book was good too. Looking forward to reading the next book

Love Once in Passing Jo Ann Simon 9780380781546 Books Reviews

Christopher Dunlap, the ninth Earl of Westerham is a very wealthy and respected member of polite society in 1812 Regency, England. He has a town house in London but his love for the land allows him to spend much of his time seeing to his country estate. One night he is riding his horse from London to his country estate when he simply appears in a car in 1981 Eastport, Connecticut.

Jessica Lund is shocked and very afraid when the handsome man in Regency clothes suddenly appears in her car. It takes her awhile to believe he is a Regency traveler who has journeyed through time. Once she comes to accept he's not crazy, she takes him into her house and eases him into the ways of the twentieth century. They fall in love and give into their passion but in the back of their minds they are always wondering if Christopher will be returned to his own time.

This reviewer read LOVE ONCE IN PASSING when it first came out and thought it was a beautiful love story twenty-one years ago and after rereading Jo Ann Simon's time travel today the novel remains a fantastic reading experience. The characters are timeless and somehow believable and the reader hopes they get the happily ever after they so desperately want. To find out the answers to that question, the audience will want to read LOVE ONCE AGAIN coming next month.

Having just finished Ms. Simon's _Hold Fast To Love_, I was prompted to revisit the book that made me fall in love with her writing. I'd originally read _Love Once In Passing_ years ago and then spent at least another year looking for its sequel (_Love Once Again_) because I fell completely in love with the characters and their story.

Jessica Lund is a quintessential 20th century woman -- head-strong, confident, brave and independent. Her life is turned upside down with the unexpected arrival of 19th century Earl Christopher Dunlap. From the moment they meet the sparks fly from the page. Christopher accepts almost instantly that he's somehow been misplaced in time, but it takes quite a bit longer for Jessica to realize what he's telling her is the truth. Once realization sets in, Jessica enjoys showing Christopher all the many technological advances in the world since his time. They form a close friendship which, after a few rough patches, turns into something much more. They love quickly and deeply all the while aware that at any moment they'll be parted forever. The reader shares in their joy, which is often bittersweet, feeling each high and low and fearing, as they do, the moment when it will all be over.

My only complaint with the book is the accident that happens about half-way through. I won't go into details, since it gives too much of the plot away, just suffice to say that your heart will break as so much of their precious time is wasted. Make sure you have a box of tissues on hand for the ending (and, if at all possible, the sequel).

All said, _Love Once In Passing_ is a poignant love story that reaffirms the fact that once love is found each moment should be cherished while you have the time.
With all the current rants against “bodice ripper” tags on romance novels, this novel proves that actual bodice rippers do exist and they were supported and encouraged in publishing back in the 70’s & 80’s. Whatever prompted ImaJinn to reissue this book, which was originally an Avon publication, can only be conjecture on my part. For there is an actual bodice ripping, forced sex scene in this book.
Christopher starts out in this book as a kind, sensitive sort of guy but when his wife, Jessica, has amnesia from an accident he becomes a real tyrant, not to mention a marital rapist. As if tumbling through time is not plot vechicle enough, we have an amnesia plot also. On top of all this there is a cliffhanger ending.
The dialog is often stilted and both the hero and heroine seemed to speak with the same “voice” which was, at times, confusing. The story is written in first person which I confess is not my favorite and this may have colored some of my opinion. I can only recommend this book to those who might like to have a glimpse of how romance books were written back in the day.
Can true love stand the test of time? Find out in this awe inspiring love story of a woman in the future and a man from the past. Time travel at its best.
This is wonderful! And the next book leading into it "Love Once Again" finishes it off. These books are the best ever. The story is long but riveting and I don't like to put it down - Wonderful!
I do not usually write bad reviews but this book I think deserves one. I do not see how everyone has such positive reviews. It was long and very boring. With only one character doing the talking, we do not know what the other character is thinking. I found the male character's mood very annoying - one minute happy, the next moody and angry with no explanations as to why. I am not going to read the second book - the first produced enough torture.
I could never put my finger on what was wrong with this story. I liked the story idea. The writting was decent. But I was so bored reading this story. What would normally take me a day or two to read, took me a couple of weeks, 'cause I just didn't want to read any more. But, I finally finished the story, only to get to an ending that, well, may make you want to read the next book. But for me, it was hard enough getting through this one. To me, it was just dry. No enough 'something' to hold my interest.
Really enjoyed it however I hated Jessica's behavior after the amnesia I thought that was a bit too much for the writer to bring in an affair between Jessica and Charles. I really felt for Christopher in that moment (how could she) overall it was a good read the flow of the book was good too. Looking forward to reading the next book
