A real treat! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel of time travel.

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023

I loved the main characters, Neve and Hugo. The character depiction is well rounded and engaging. There was just the right amount of detail to give readers a sense of place and time which allowed the story to move at a good pace.

Can’t wait to read the next novel in the series

GREAT WRITING AND STORY

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2015

I am a sucker for a good time travel romance and The Passage is a really good one. This story is about Neve, a film production scout looking for a place to shoot their next film. She ends up at Everly Manor and meets up with the very handsome and charming Lord of the Manor, Max. Max sets his sights on Neve but there is something she doesn't trust about Max. During her inspection of the property she stumbles upon a passage that sends her back to the 1600's to meet with the former Lord of Everly Manor, Hugo. Hugo is a person who was killed in his life due to his political pursuits and Neve sets out to warn him without causing too much attention on herself. She tries to warn him and then goes through the passage back to her own time but something about Hugo is making her want to go back and make sure she helps him survive.
Hugo starts to believe Neve and decides that he will take Neve on a trip to further his political aspirations because he doesn't want her to take off again and will be introduced as his mistress. For me, this is always the best part of a romance when the hero and heroine are getting to know each other and developing friendship, trust and start falling in love. When reading Time Travel Romance books, you have to take a leap with the author that yes, we all know that time travel isn't a real thing. What makes a good story is when it appears that it is well researched to the point a reader can believe in the time period and if the chemistry between the characters is believable. Fortunately, the
author did a good job on both.

The descriptive writing about England in the 1600's lead me into the time period nicely. Neve and Hugo spend much time together so we get to know them through their conversations. Hugo was described in history as not such a kind man and we saw him through Neve's eyes that he was a incredibly smart, kind, generous and overall sexy guy. Their relationship developed slowly with tension building throughout. There was really just one love scene and was not overdone or overt. There are secondary characters such as Hugo's sister and she was also an interesting addition to the story. Max and Hugo are distant relatives and this side story also held my interest.

Why not a 5 star? At times I felt like I was watching a Sex in the City episode because Neve would ask questions of herself often that was much like Carrie Bradshaw. Lastly, my favorite time travel romances are quite formulaic. Sassy modern woman goes back in time and meets up with sexy man from the past and they fall in love in the past. This book had that but there was some time traveling back in forth that took away from my enjoyment. There will be a book 2 but this one can be a standalone.

Unique spin with a science fiction theme of time travel. This is a riveting story with developing characters and bi-lines to suit every taste. Action, medieval themes, romance, and adventure! You won't want to put the book down!

As the title says, I thought that The Passage was good, but just a bit slow in development. The premise was really interesting and the writing was solid. I wish there was a little more development on Max’s rationale for his change in character. But overall, a solid read.

An unusual time travel

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024

A time travel plot with so many layers and twists. The evil and conniving characters are so deceptive and the least expected. This author has taken a different genre in this book and given it her own twist.

One of the best novels I've ever read. I entered into a world of wonderful characters. A woman unexpectedly enters a different time and becomes involved with the people and their concerns there. This is a great story that at its conclusion, left me wanting to spend more time with the characters. Happily, more books in this series followed. Joy!

The book seems to have the requisite plot. A women in distress, an unlikely hero. What separates this story from others is swift time changes and characters that have open vendetta.

I didn’t expect to get pulled in. But here I am downloading book 2.

I have to say this book had a slow start. It took till chapter 7 to really grab me , but once it took hold, it held me tight. I'm so glad I stuck with it as this book has me eager to read the next one. Neve is a location scout for a movie production company. She's visiting a midevil castle in hopes it will be perfect for a movie set in this time frame. She has to take photos, so as she's trying to get a better pic of a crypt in the old church, her back hits a button opening a passageway to the 1600s. She's heard stories about the lord of the home disappearing in his time never to be seen again, so she borrows period clothes from the castle and goes in search of the Lord to possibly help him.
I really like the twists this book took and how the author wove it all together. The end of this story really has me excited to see how the author plans to tie this up. It's definitely a fun ride.
