When Tomorrow Came by Hannah Lynder

They Waited Their Whole Lives for Their Papa to Return
 
Nan and Heath Duncan, siblings abandoned by their papa and abused by their guardian, have no choice but to survive on the London streets. When a kind gentleman rescues Nan from such a life, the siblings are separated and raised in two vastly different social worlds. Just when both are beginning to flourish and years have healed some of their wounds, their long-awaited papa returns and reunites them—bringing demands with him. Nan is expected to marry a rich suitor she’s never liked, and Heath is expected to forsake his gentle spirit and become the hardened man his father always was.

Dangers unfold, secret love develops, fights ensue, and murder upsets the worlds Heath and Nan have built for themselves.

They’ve waited their whole lives for their papa to return, for tomorrow to come—but now that it has, will they be able to see through to the truth and end this whirlwind of a nightmare before it costs one of their lives?   

My thoughts:

It took some time for me to get interested in this novel.  I don’t know if it was because I was unfamiliar with the authors writing style or if was just me. However, once I got a few chapters in, I found myself caring much more for the characters than I anticipated.

I loved Nan and Heath Duncan, brother and sister who had such a difficult childhood.  They were abandoned by their father, mistreated by their guardian and it was just one of the saddest beginnings that had me rooting for them to find love, happiness, and the care they both deserved. I don’t mean to imply there is only darkness in the storyline because that is definitely not the case. I really disliked how the two young siblings were separated, but understood why it had to happen.  There are several good and decent people who help both Nan and Heath along the way who are so needed and made for a heartwarming part to the plot.

I am so glad that I kept reading this as it was so much better than I thought it would be while finding a new to me while finding a new to me author.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.  Opinions are my own/
