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?

I really enjoy Christian Historical Romance books, especially those from the Regency Era. When Tomorrow Came by Hannah Linder is the most recent book I had the honor of reading.

Nan and Heath Duncan have had a rough life and life is about to get tougher. They were abandoned by their Papa, abused by their guardian, and then separated and raised by 2 different families. Many years have gone by and both have had a better life. Their Papa who abandoned them comes back into their lives and brings them together again. The joyful reunion is short-lived when they realize their Papa wants them to live their lives his way. Nan is supposed to marry someone she has no feelings for and Heath is supposed to be as mean and rude as Papa is although Heath has been a soft and gentle person. Will Nan and Heath find joy in the reunion with their Papa? Will the truth about their Papa be revealed and will they be safe from him?

I must admit I almost did not want to keep reading this book, but finally, by the 4th Chapter, I started enjoying the book. I discovered Nan is such a strong woman and has a strong faith. Heath is a kind gentleman, who loves his sister so much that he made sure she was taken care of by a good family. I was sad for them when the reunion with their Papa started to reveal his true character. The book has many twists and turns beginning in the middle of the book and really keeps the reader intrigued. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical and Regency Romance. Good Book!

More from Hannah

Love interests me. Not just in the romantic sense, but in every sense, because love is the driving emotion behind so much of what we do. It’s the heartbeat of everything. What do we have but love? Yet isn’t it the very essence of our greatest pain?

Sometimes it doesn’t make sense. Sometimes love has no reason. Like a tumultuous wind or a wet branch that sways in different directions, love is often petulant and aimless and powerful. But sometimes it’s soft, like a flower lifting dewy petals to the sunshine. The epitome of everything good, sweet, and true.

What makes love change? What makes two friends who have always been fraternal one day confess romantic affection? How much wrong, how much affliction, does it take for sweet love to sizzle into hatred? Even then, is it really hatred? Or merely the charred crust of the adoration still throbbing beneath? And how strong are the cords of new love? Will they break at every pull and tug, or are they more unfaltering than anyone might think?

Maybe those are silly questions. Maybe, like snowflakes, every heart knows a different answer. But if I explored anything in When Tomorrow Came, it was this. I glided through the story and felt love shift from brotherly to intimate, from hopeful to disappointed, from untested to proven, from safe to betrayed.

Just as love is the heartbeat of life, it is also the heartbeat of this story. I hope you will find yourself falling in love with the characters and their journey as much as I did.
