The Mirror has romance in it but is secondary to the story about two women who switch places in time. They are related and it is interesting what each woman discovers she misses about her time period and what they have to learn to accept to live without. They lose so much but gain a great deal more in their new lives. They also show amazing resilence and determination to make the best of a situation that cannot be reversed.
The Time Traveler's Wife is a much more popular book. The male is the time traveler and there is a great romance but it is very complicated. His time traveling is more of a medical condition that he has no control over.
I have seen a surge in Outlander like novels but I have honestly been ignoring them. If anyone is reading them let me know if you find some good ones.

I read the Outlander series a few years ago and thought the series was okay. However, I haven't picked up the most recent couple of books and am not sure if I ever will.

To answer your question though: It honestly depends on the book. Some authors are better than others at making a "time-slip" interesting. On its face though, I do enjoy the very concept of time-traveling, regardless of the means. Stephen King's 11/22/63 is a more current book that uses this theme, and it is certainly on my reading list.

I love historical fiction books as well as fantasy ones, so for me, books in this "time-slip" genre are a wonderful blend of the two (when done well!).
