"A classic that stands the test of time"
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. Harriet Klausner
