Across the Ages
by Gabrielle Meyer
Pub Date: Nov. 5 2024
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Caroline holds a deep secret. Living in 1727 and 1927 simultaneously, each night she goes to sleep in one life and wakes up in the other. In search of answers to her unique existence, Caroline stumbles upon a letter from her mother hinting at her own experiences as a time-crosser, sending Caroline on a daring quest to uncover the truth. In 1727, Caroline disguises herself as a cabin boy and joins a ship sailing for the Bahamas, her mother's last known location, where she crosses paths with a ruthless but handsome pirate and is caught in a web of secrets, deception, and unexpected alliances.
Across the Ages is the fourth book in the Timeless series. While there are some references to previous characters in the series and there may be a few spoilers to such, this could probably be enjoyed as a standalone as well. That said, it's a wonderful series and absolutely worth reading in its entirety.
This is my favorite in the series! Caroline's parents in 1927 were such a wonderful example of practicing what you preach, and I just found myself loving everything about this book so much. This one absolutely cannot be missed.

Love this series so much!!! I will read anything she writes!! It kept me on the edge of my seat.,. And the romance was so beautiful!

I was very excited when I saw this book. I just had to grab it.
This is such an awesome series! Very exciting too!
Pirates, treasure off the coast of Florida wow!
I was drawn into this adventure book from the beginning. I lost a whole evening with this adventure.
I really enjoyed in getting to know each of these characters.
Can you imagine living 2 separate lives? I sure can't. That's why I think time traveling would be fun. I'd like to know what Florida be really like in those days.
I was tickled pink about this novel. I live in Florida now and love learning about it.
Lots.of twists and turns to keep me turning the pages.
I think I loved 1727 better. It was more exciting than 1927.in my opinion.
Lots of famous people woven in to make a wonderful rollercoaster ride that I won't soon forget.
I was sad when the story ended. I sighed in satisfaction.
Meyer did an awesome job of describing Marcus and Caroline that I could actually picture them in my mind.
I want to make mention another reason I love this series so much was the author used the main characters' point of view. For this I feel like I can connect to them much better.
There's treasure all around us. We just need to open our eyes and look around us.
Thanks Mrs. Meyer! Please keep these wonderful adventures coming!
5 stars from me. I loved every minute of it.
I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

Across the Ages by Gabrielle Meyer is a unique, yet thrilling story set in 1727 and 1927. This time the storyline features pirates and the 1920's with a Billy Sunday vibe. If readers have read her other stories, then there will be a few returning characters from the previous books. They will interact in ways that will make readers smirk as they know the truth behind their time crossing. I love how Meyer takes two totally different historical time periods and make them interact through one character. This time, Caroline, gets to make the decision about which path to follow. She is the daughter of a time crosser that is mentioned in one of the previous stories, but her story is not flushed out. It is a glimpse on the page. Readers who are familiar with Meyer's stories know how hard it is for each heroine to decide which timeline to stay in and what timeline to leave. The struggle on the surface is harder than we could ever imagine. These characters need a supportive cast in order to help them make the correct decision. Caroline is no different. Across the Ages by Gabrielle Meyer is another wonderful addition to this series. I can't wait to read the next two books that are still coming.

I received a complimentary copy of Across the Ages by Gabrielle Meyer from Bethany House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Absolutely stunning in every way!!

Caroline spends a day on her grandfather's plantation in 1727 and when she wakes up the next, is with her parents in 1927.

She has no idea why she lives two different lives and desperate for answers, she disguises herself as a cabin boy and joins a ship sailing to the Bahamas. When she meets Marcus, a handsome pirate with secrets of his own, she hopes she has found an ally.

As she looks for answers in 1927, she uncovers uncomfortable truths about her family and finds herself in dangerous situations though thankfully, her childhood friend and policeman Lewis is there to help her and keep her safe.

But as Caroline discovers the truth about her past and her present, she is forced to make an impossible decision about her future.

What you'll love:
time-crossing romance
single POV
pirates & mobsters
vivid historical details
treasure hunt
plot twists and teurns
swoony romance
themes of mercy and forgiveness

I left so many things off the list but this book, much like the others in the series, is best enjoyed without knowing too much beforehand.

Because OH MY WORD!!! This book was a breathtaking ride that took me from the high seas of the 1700s to the speakeasies of the 1920s. I came for the pirates and mobsters but stayed for the epic adventure, the swoony romance, the enduring friendships, the captivating history, the heart-pounding suspense, and the beautiful message of forgiveness and mercy.

Beautifully crafted and altogether mesmerizing, this story will undoubtedly be one of my favorite reads of the year! It truly deserves all the stars!

Loved this fresh take in this fantastic series and while this *could* be read as a standalone, you will enjoy it so much more if you read the series in order. (Start with When the Day Comes!)

If you haven't experienced the thrill of a Gabrielle Meyer time-crossing romance yet, do yourself a favor and pick one up! You can thank me later.

I received a complimentary copy but a positive review was not required.

Gabrielle Meyer's Timeless books are on my all time favorite list. As every book is announced I automatically pre order it. This time I was fortunate enough to score an Advance Reader Copy through NetGalley! Across The Ages is fantastic. I loved Caroline in both of her lives and really struggled with which life I thought she should choose! I loved the fact that Caroline was a woman of faith in both timelines, but still struggled. She was very real. Caroline had two swoon-worthy guys to choose from, which complicated which life she wanted. My only problem with the story is that it is over...

So pre order Across The Ages and be prepared to take PTO, hire a babysitter, meal prep, you know just set aside time to read it as you won't want to put it down!

I was given a copy of Across The Ages with no expectations. all thoughts are my own.

Another wonderful Timeless story! I loved the different time periods that this story covers and the fun twists to the story. This book, and the whole series, is fabulous!

Fantastic!!! This is such a great series! Each book has been so good and the author does a great job at making each novel unique.

What an absolute PLEASURE to read a book of this quality!
I enjoyed every well-written word!
The storyline is amazing and very captivating! The characters were very well defined.
The time-crossing element flows so well that it is believable! I was able to go back and forth between the two different years with each new chapter very easily, without any confusion.
I loved the historical facts woven throughout the story - and appreciated that the author includes some notes after the conclusion to clarify which characters were inspired by real people. Her history research efforts make her stories so much more real - and so enjoyable!
The romance was clean and the ending was very satisfying! A bit of drama and suspense had me wondering how it would all work out though!!
I particularly loved the faith in God aspect in this story. It was beautifully written, with a soft yet strong inclusion of salvation in Jesus Christ, and sweet focus on forgiveness, and grace.
This is one of my top 5 favorite books I have read in 2024 for sure!
I whole heartedly recommend this book - as well as the rest of the series!
Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this book!
All opinions stated here are truthful - and all my own!
I will definitely read this book again in the future!

This was such a GOOD book! If you've read all the others in the series, this is such a fresh take. How interesting to see how life would be for a time-crosser who thought she was the only one!

Once I was hooked on one time (and didn't want to leave it), something would happen in the other time to endear me to it. Lots of interesting characters here, y'all. (Pirates, gangsters, a Billy Sunday-esque preacher, etc.) I appreciated the lack of a love triangle. And of course, the story is rich in history, making it all the more intriguing. The faith thread, though, MAKES the book. Loved it!

This is now my second favorite in the series! (When the Day Comes will always hold first place, I think!)

Across the Ages is the fourth book in the Timeless series. While there are some references to previous characters in the series and there may be a few spoilers to such, this could probably be enjoyed as a standalone as well. That said, it's a wonderful series and absolutely worth reading in its entirety.

With each additional book in this series, I am absolutely astounded... not only by Gabrielle Meyer's fantastic storytelling abilities, but also how each book---while all dealing with time-crossers who will ultimately have to choose one time--- feels like a completely unique and exciting story. In this story, Caroline is living in 1727 and 1927. One of the things that sets her story apart is that she does not have someone in her life to help navigate being a time-crosser and what that truly means. At the start of the story, she believes that she is the only of her kind... but when she finds a letter from her mother in 1727, she finds herself posing as a cabin boy on a pirate ship to seek answers. Pirates and prohibition!? What's not to love about these two drastically different lives she is leading? I really loved the romance in this story... but I have to say my favorite aspect was truly the message of God's grace and redemption that it offers. This is a theme that we see carried out so beautifully across both timelines. Caroline's parents in 1927 were such a wonderful example of practicing what you preach, and I just found myself loving everything about this book so much. While I have enjoyed absolutely every single book in this series, this is definitely a new favorite for me and one that absolutely cannot be missed.

ACROSS THE AGES is the fourth novel in the Timeless series by GABRIELLE MEYER and it rounds off the series very well. I like the way the author brings in famous people and historical events and has based some of her characters on real people.
In 1727 Caroline Reed lives with her grandfather Josias on his plantation in South Carolina. She runs away when she is about to be forced to marry the governot’s unpleasant son. She ends up on a pirate ship while she is trying to get to Nassau to find her mother, who is also a time-crosser. She wants to find out more about what time-crossing entails, not knowing what to make of her two lives…….
In 1927 she is the daughter of a famous preacher who is a strong prohibitionist. She is Caroline Baldwin in this life. Her father and mother have a strong marriage and her mother supports her husband in his work.Caroline has a beautiful voice and sings at her father’s outreaches. She is very worried about her brothers’ bad behaviour and the effect it will have on the family ministry, and things get worse when she realizes her mother, Anne Reed, is alive in her second life which started in 1913. Now she has chance to find her and get her questions answered…….
The story is very exciting as we follow Caroline in her two lives, wondering which life she will choose to stay in on her 21st birthday. The Christian message of trusting God for His plans, of forgiveness and redemption is very strong.
I recommend Across the Ages as an enjoyable and interesting read.
