The Tides of Time by Sarah M. Eden (Book Review #2082)

In The Tides of Time, bestselling author Sarah M. Eden delivers a sweeping time-slip romance brimming with historical intrigue, heart-pounding peril, and the kind of slow-burn connection that romance lovers crave.

We begin in revolutionary France, where Lili Minet, a daring rescuer of innocents from the grip of Robespierre’s Tribunal, is forced to flee. But her escape takes an unexpected turn when a mystical storm sweeps her 80 years into the future — and into the arms of Armitage Pierce, a lighthouse keeper on the isolated English coast of 1873.

What follows is a gorgeously rendered blend of historical suspense and speculative wonder. Lili’s grit and compassion make her a heroine easy to root for, while Armitage’s quiet strength and guarded tenderness provide the perfect emotional foil. Their dynamic is filled with trust issues, cultural clashes, and, ultimately, undeniable chemistry.

Eden’s mastery lies not just in her immersive historical settings but in the emotional resonance she crafts between characters. The tension of being hunted across centuries is matched only by the tender moments Lili and Armitage share as they unravel their mysterious connection — and face the consequences of rewriting fate.

The Tides of Time is equal parts action, romance, and thoughtful exploration of identity and sacrifice. With lush prose and high stakes, it will enchant fans of Outlander, Somewhere in Time, and Eden’s own Proper Romance series. It’s a stand-out in the genre — gripping, gorgeously told, and thoroughly unforgettable.
