THE ROMANCE STUDIO
5-Hearts
“Set in the years after WWII, The Passenger is a wonderfully written novel full of love, romance and a hint of paranormal overtures.

This is a great book and one I would recommend to anyone."
ROMANCE READER AT HEART
"...The 1940's is portrayed so vividly that the time and place become characters of their own. I could see the clothing, hear the music and feel the scratchy car upholstery. It is a ghost story, a story of love and loss that bridges the gap between the living and the dead..."
