An amazing romantasy with hilarious banter. Rua and Finn's chemistry was perfect! I loved reading their interactions. I was extremely invested in the story, and i really enjoyed reading Rua's journey.

The Gods Time Forgot intricately weaves Irish mythology into the vibrant tapestry of Gilded Age New York, creating an enchanting tale that grips the heart. Rua, trapped between two identities, embarks on a poignant journey of self-discovery that resonates deeply. Her chemistry with Finn is electric, igniting a passion that transcends societal boundaries. As secrets unravel and memories resurface, the stakes grow ever higher, intertwining their fates in unexpected ways. This debut captures the essence of love and the complexity of identity with raw emotion, making it a must-read for anyone who craves a beautifully layered story of romance and magic.

Wonderful fantasy romance set to the sweeping and glamorous backdrop of the 1870s. Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez delivers a refreshing fantasy romance standalone about the power of love across time and against all the odds.

The story throws the reader into the middle of the action with the disappearance of Emma and Rua's first moments. As both Rua and the reader scramble to make sense of what is happening, you are sucked into the harsh and glittering world of Gilded Age politics, society, and intrigue. Rua does her best to play the role of Emma, but she is thwarted by many at every turn. At the same time, the reader meets Finn -- the dashing lord -- trying to make his way in American society. While there is a tinge of dislike between the two, they feel drawn to one another.

Sheridan Gonazlez does a wonderful job of sprinkling in this past moments of faint memories for both Rua and Finn. Together, the main characters and the readers piece together to the moments that lead to New York in the 1870s.

I really enjoyed Rua's rough and tumble attitude as she crashes through polite New York society. The dual POV with Finn adds a little extra as you see the world through his eyes. Sheridan Gonazlez sprinkles in some truly heinous individuals that will cross out duo from time to time -- one of them had been yelling had her underhandedness.

This is a truly fun standalone that will sweep you away from an afternoon and take you on a worldwind adventure of Irish mythology, romance, and the right touch of fantasy! I am excited to read more from this author!

This story was SO interesting! I was immediately hooked. Run’s entire journey was incredible. The mystery, trying to figure out what the heck happened and who she was while trying to act like Emma to survive. So interesting! The romance was also soooo perfect! 🤌🏾😍 I really loved this one! Can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy to reread!

I feel bad giving this a terrible review - I think that's more on my tastes than the actual book. Too much romance, not enough fantasy. I did find some of the characters really one note - I'm someone who loves morally grey characters, whether that's the lead or the antagonist. This was just kind of blah for me.

If you like the fae and romance, and the Gilded Age, maybe this is more your thing.

I was so thrilled to receive a copy of Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez's THE GODS TIME FORGOT. This sweeping, scintillating romantasy was a delight of banter, intrigue, and history. Rua and Finn's chemistry nearly set the book on fire. I loved every moment.
