TIME AND TIDE has been named one of The New York Times’ Best Romance Books of 2024.
I am still breathless with shock and delight. đź’ś
From the article bOlivia Waite:
“A critic’s best-of list is on some level a confession: You can deduce a lot about my year from the stories I found solace in. So in addition to the expected delights of this year’s romances — lush historical eras, dazzling space battles, scenes of love triumphant — there’s a resonant thread of grief running through the fractured timelines, vengeful heroines, and small-scale victories of the books below.
Time travel and time-slips are coming back into vogue and two novels really stood out for me, to the point where I couldn’t choose between them. […] Time and Tide sends a modern disaster bi back in time to meet an authoress bound by the homophobic social taboos of Austen’s England. Bradley’s book is sci-fi dystopia, while Frey’s curtsies to the bonkers, bodice-ripping yarns of Johanna Lindsey and Bertrice Small. But both stories fascinate by committing to the idea that chronological dislocation is a kind of violence, and not being afraid to get a little messy about it.”
