I like a nice little age gap ice queen romance as much as the next girl, but there are some age inconsistencies in this book.
Mia's age changes a few times (between 25 and 32). Evelyn's age is never mentioned, but simple math with her mentioning having Mia at 17, she is either 42 or 49 which is quite a big difference. I'm assuming it was just an oversight after changing Mia's age later and just forgetting to update earlier chapters, but I dunno.
Honestly, the worst part of this is Evelyn's father dating someone who is apparently 28. There is an "age gap" and then there is... weird. I don't believe his age is ever mentioned either, but just based on Evelyn's age (assuming 49), the man has to be in his 70s yeah?
He's literally dating someone younger than his granddaughter. Ick
A 45+ year age gap is quite a lot and honestly it made the whole thing extremely...creepy. Especially when Evelyn seems to be the only one who sees the problem.

The beginning came off as standard and I didn’t have much expectation from the book. But as the story progressed further, the characters and the setting grew on me. Mallorca and the island vibes became almost tangible I could taste the salt in the air. The author was very good at immersing the reader in the setting and scenes. Integrating my self with the character, although none were relatable to my life, was very gradual and smooth, almost imperceptible. I just found myself quite invested in the characters’ lives. This was such a comfortable “feel good” read.

A different slant on my usual romantic reads. I thought the age gap might be a problem but as I got to know the characters I didn’t see ‘age’ anymore but two women who simply were meant to be together. And they slotted into their equally not-usual family group. The HEA left me with a comfortable, and comforting feeling of ‘everything fit’.

This has to be the most boring book I've ever read.
I don't mind and slow book and the premise sounded so up my street, but the execution was horrible.
I found myself skimming and skimming and skimming because I just didn't care and I was hoping it would get better.
It did get better in the last ~50 pages, but I was so done with it that I still didn't care.
I didn't like the characters, the execution of the plot was boring, the romance wasn't believable in the slightest.
Also, the inconsistency with the ages? How did that even happen? Don't you proof read a book before publishing it?
I could have looked past that, had the story been good, but sadly it wasn't.
The age gap between candy and evenlys dad was also rather creepy - she's 28 and he must be in his 70s, at least late 60s
I've enjoyed other books by the author and I'll most likely pick up more, but this just wasn't done very well in my opinion.

(rounded up from 3.5)
As I always get with Lise Gold, this was a really easy read with likeable characters and a fun setting. I did find a couple of things a bit weaker than other Lise Gold books I have enjoyed, such as the telling instead of showing why the main characters connect (only one instance of actually spending time with each other as people and it's only to fast forward through hours and note that it's been hours talking. About what, pray tell us so that we, as the readers, may see how you are connecting). There is also an odd subplot that turns up at the end of the story which feels a bit out of left field.
Overall, though, enjoyable, an easy read, and a fun premise about multinational hotel groups and sustainable hotel development ideologies clashing.

Enemies, Age Gaps, and Emotional Unraveling
I’m not usually a fan of first-person POV, so I approached The Turning Tides of Us with some hesitation. It was added on my April TBR without any form of research or review, and I decided to power through despite my initial reservations. I’m glad I did, once I got over my personal ick toward the chosen perspective, I found myself thoroughly engaged.
The story was captivating, with a slow-burn intensity that matched the emotional depth of the characters. I particularly enjoyed the banter between Val and Evelyn in the early stages, it struck the perfect balance between flirtatious tension and genuine personality clashes. The comical scenes were a welcome surprise and helped lighten the narrative in just the right places.
There was, however, one small issue that stood out to me, especially as someone who enjoys the age-gap trope: the lack of clarity around the characters’ ages. I found myself doing mental math with Mia’s age to estimate Evelyn’s, but the inconsistent references made it frustrating. While this might be a minor detail for most readers, for someone detail-oriented like me, specifics matter, especially when it contributes to understanding the dynamic between the leads.
That said, the book was still a lovely and satisfying read. I genuinely liked both main characters. I appreciated the way Val challenged Evelyn, not just professionally but emotionally. She never backed down or allowed herself to be intimidated by Evelyn’s formidable presence, yet she still provided a safe, steady space for Evelyn to lower her guard. Watching a powerful woman like Evelyn slowly melt under Val’s persistence and empathy? Chef’s kiss.
The novel is at its best when showcasing two strong, headstrong women clashing, connecting, and ultimately softening for one another. I’m always drawn to sapphic romances that highlight emotional evolution, and The Turning Tides of Us delivers that beautifully.

2/5 - sapphic, age gap, contemporary, ice queen, enemies to lovers, mc has a kid. Disappointing. The hotel plot felt underdeveloped and mostly just an excuse for being in Mallorca, which was somewhat of a letdown. Also, I can enjoy a reasonable age gap (I generally check out when it hits 20+), but I really disliked the dad subplot and his relationship here. On top of that, the conflict resolution and the epilogue didn’t work for me either. I’ll stop here and just say this one wasn't my cup of tea.
July 17, 2025
Overall, this enemies to lovers, ice queen, age gap was good. I liked both MCs, the storyline and of course the goats 😊
I kept being distracted, however, by the age discrepancies with Mia, Evelyn’s daughter, (aside from the ones I commented on, there was at least one other). Unfortunately, this and a couple other inconsistencies had an impact on my enjoyment of the book.
It’s a cute story otherwise and I’m glad others were able to get over themselves and see beyond what I couldn’t.

A Truly Wonderful Novel
I hate when reviewers recount to the reader, the entire story and how wonderful each moment was.
So, in an effort to encourage you actually read this book, I will just tell you how I reacted to it, and if that works, I pray you will read it, because I am sure you will not only enjoy it, but will actually be better off for doing so.
To begin with, Lise Gold is a fantastic author
✍️. I have read approximately 6-8 of her novels and, not only have I enjoyed each one, but actually felt as though I learned from the experience.
Until Turning Tides, I thought that The Scent of Rome was her best novel, however, I am now convinced that Turning Tides has taken over first place.
There are so many important subjects that Ms. Gold touched upon in her novel.
Age
May December relationships
Sudden Awareness of one’s sexuality
Upbringing
Care for the environment
Grief
Courage
Loss
Commitment to one’s beliefs
Commitment to family
I could go on and on.
This is truly a “slow-burn” novel, but the wait, along with the development of the main characters on their journey toward self discovery,truly makes it worth the wait.
And the eventual passion makes it worth the wait.
I encourage you to read this very enjoyable novel, filled with wonderful supporting characters, and beautifully described settings. Enjoy the trip.
Thank you Ms. Gold for sharing yourself with us 💝

Better! Definitely better than the last couple of Lise Gold novels I've read. The leads were decent and surprisingly likeable, moreso than I would have expected for a couple of luxury resort developers. The side characters were pretty great too, especially Mateo the bartender.
I didn't feel massively compelled by the plot, especially given how late the was placed in the narrative. Despite that, I don't feel like I've wasted my time reading it, and I did feel some level of emotional pull toward the characters.
I might be a bit biased because I generally tend to dislike first person, but I really do think this novel would have been better if it it was written in the third person. Given how Gold attempted to emotionally sway the reader, it would have been IMO more effective if we could have had both characters' thoughts on their situation without having to wait for the next chapter entirely.
Also, as some other reviewers have pointed out, there's a severe editing mistake with Evelyn's daughter's age (at least in the edition I read). At different points in the novel she's 24, 30, or 32. It's a bit disappointing to see such a lack of care put into a release by such a popular author.

Lise Gold is one of my favorite authors. Her books linger on my mind. They’re well written, the characters are interesting and the stories are filled with passion and emotion. This story centers around an age gap love story between two resort developers. Very different not only in age but in personal experiences and how they view life and the world. But life has a surprise for each one, and they must choose happiness over their fears. Evelyn, the older CEO, heiress to Rothschild Resorts, has never known love. Her world are meetings, business and corporate success. Val, the younger CEO, at 28 years of age, she has grown up fast and built a successful company. I couldn’t put it down as I always do with Lise’s books. The background of Mallorca and Ibiza add to the charm of the story and you find yourself dreaming of the Mediterranean under the stars. Loved it.

I liked the premise of the story and in the beginning I was drawn in. Even though some of Evelyn’s thoughts and things she said really irked me. I couldn’t get past the blatant mishandling of the continuity of Mia’s age and therefore Evelyn’s. She says she had Mia at 17 and that she is 25. That makes Evelyn 42. But then later on, Mia says she’s 32 and then at the end, Evelyn says something about dating a woman younger than her daughter. So either Evelyn is 42 or 49. I’m
Not sure why the inconsistency bothers me so much, but it does.
I found myself not really liking Evelyn either. She was pretty judgmental throughout the entire book. I also didn’t understand the point of having Val say something in the epilogue about suddenly not knowing if she wanted kids?

I really enjoyed this story like always when they're Lise Gold's. Great characters, nice built up, some pining and steamy sex. I also like the short chapters alternating POVs between Val to Evelyn. I loved that it was set in Palma. I've been there several times and it has become one of my favorite destinations for a relaxing holiday. Indeed there was some confusion about the age of Mia and therefore Evelyn's as well. Also a few little things that must have been overlooked during editing. That was a bit annoying. But overall it was just another great story by Lise Gold. I certainly recommand reading this! 4+⭐️
April 20, 2025
This book was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. Lise Gold has such a gift for deep emotional storytelling. The enemies to lovers trope is definitely a favorite of mine and their back and forth was just delicious. I ate it up. This book combines enemies to lovers with an age-gap and a little workplace romance since they're forced to work together on their development. I felt like I was experiencing every emotion right along with Evelyn and Val. The internal struggles, the yearning, the passion?! Yes, this book had it all! 5 stars across the board. I'll definitely be recommending and reading again.
February 23, 2025
3.5 rounded up because I thought the book picked up about 80% in. This is an easy read, but I will say the characters lacked chemistry and depth. I felt like they barely knew each other and their connection was based solely on attraction. Also there was inconsistencies with the ages of several of the characters which got confusing. At first I thought I had a bad memory but I was relieved to see other people say the same thing in reviews. But it’s not a bad story at all, and I love Lise Gold’s writing!

Good book
This story is well written and takes a different turn on how a big CEO Evelyn has to build her new luxury hotel. Val is a young CEO of her eco friendly hotels. The committee wants eco friendly but want Evelyn's company to build it with consulting from Val. Val is layed back, easy going and care free. Evelyn the typical Ice Queen. This story of learning to letting go of control and see the real beauty in things, to truly understand how you view things so differently that it changes you. A great and well written story to read.

I absolutely loved this slow burn, age gap story. Two developers competing for the same project, butting heads, arguing. The 20-something younger Val is the free-spirited, ecologically minded one who eventually melts the older ice queen, Evelyn who is the developer of large scale elite properties. The two ladies have completely different visions.
I don’t think what I said to be a spoiler because there was a lot that had to happen before they found love. I highly recommend this book.

Wow! Today book was immensely heartwarming! Such an incredible read from depictions of the tropical landscape to their attraction. This is the definition of an age gap romance with a 21 year gap. This comes to say that I grew to enlightenment with the characters in the sense that wisdom and love depend on circumstances. And live has no age, although let’s not ignore that some instances are completely unacceptable. Anyway, what a great book!

Bravery
Evelyn is four years old and the CEO of company. Val is much younger than Evelyn and they come together on a project in the Caribbean. I like the way the author shaped the characters so that each of them conquered their fears about being in the relationship and caring about someone else. Workers always come first and now Val and Evelyn find themselves caring for each other. I recommend this book for all who like a good romance.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANTICIPATED!
I had difficulty getting through the first chapters, not because of the writing, pacing, story, structure, characters, or setting. Simply because I was not in the right mood! I didn’t realize this until I was almost finished and was thoroughly enjoying the read.
The truth is, I loved this book. I LOVE ALL of Lise Gold’s books. She gives new meaning to vacationing through the pages of wonderful books.

ages?
Lise Gold is one of my favorite authors and I really enjoyed this book; however, she really needs to go back through it and fix all the age discrepancies. It was really distracting me from the storyline when she changed the age of Mia back and forth between 24 and 32 years old throughout the book.

Very satisfying read
A different slant on my usual romantic reads. I thought the age gap might be a problem but as I got to know the characters I didn’t see ‘age’ anymore but two women who simply were meant to be together. And they slotted into their equally not-usual family group. The HEA left me with a comfortable, and comforting feeling of ‘everything fit’.

A riveting story of Val and Evelyn by Lise Gold set in the Mediterranean.
This age gap love story is well written and compelling, and this was a book that I did not want to put down.
The emotions of the characters draw you in and hold on. The blended family description and dynamic was believable and was a key part of the story.
I highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed the premise of this book! Almost an enemies to lovers except they became friends real quick like. Felt like there could've been a bit more interaction between the leads but overall their love was believable. I will for sure try another one of Lise Golds books as the storyline was a good one.

Wonderful Ice Queen Age Gap Love
Evelyn and Val are vying for a contract to build a resort on an uninhabited island in Spain. Evelyn’s family business is luxurious hotels and Val’s firm is all about the environment and sustainability. No one would think they could be attracted to each other. Their journey is well developed and I loved reading it.

What do you mean it's weird when someone is skeptical about a man probably in his 70s dating a 28 yo woman considering the man is the father of the woman who finds all this weird???? Wtf. Also, on top of that, Evelyn's daughter was somehow twenty five yesrs old but then got thirty two years old somehow? Also, the writing was too bland smh, I skimmed through the pages at one point.

Definitely one of my fav book 2025!
It has been quite some time since I read Lise Gold’s novel, and I can say that you’re one of my favorite authors! Love Evelyn & Val’s banter beginning of the book! I hope you read more enemies to lovers romance!

Not my favorite Lise Gold book. I couldn’t get into it as well and quick as I normally do. The slow burn didn’t even feel like a ~burn~ to me. All of a sudden (about 50% through) they had crushes on each other then got together.
I haven’t loved the past few books from Lise.
