I am delighted today to be taking part in the blog tour for No More Tomorrows by indie author Olivia Lockhart, organised by Rachel of Rachel's Random Resources, which I must tell you, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and highly recommend.
Accompanying this tour, at the bottom of this post, is a raffle to win a signed copy of No More Tomorrows
As always, I begin by thanking Rachel for the invitation to join the blog tour and Ms Lockhart for a free digital copy of her novel to review.
The blurb:
No More TomorrowsTwo eras. One aching heart.
1917 – At Cambridge University, American scholar Harry Turchin never expects to lose himself to desire. But Annie Mackenzie—soft-spoken, grieving, and luminous—claims his heart from their very first kiss. Their love is swift, fierce, and intoxicating. Married just days before Harry is sent to war, their passion is ripped apart when the trenches claim everything he knows, and Harry is thrown into a future that should not exist.
1967 – The free-spirited sixties are alive with rhythm, rebellion, and possibility. Harry awakens to a world he doesn’t recognise—and to Annalise Taylor, as bold and captivating as the era itself. Brilliant, independent, and achingly alive, she rouses a desire he thought belonged solely to the past.
Caught between the love he was ripped away from and the passion he cannot resist, Harry is torn between two women, two lives, and two versions of forever. Because time will not bend twice … Or will it?
Sweeping from the blood-soaked battlefields of World War One to the fevered nights of the swinging sixties, No More Tomorrows is a sensual time-slip romance about desire, devotion, and the devastating power of love that refuses to be bound by time.
The blurb intrigued me with its dual timelines set during WWI and the 1960s. Imagine travelling from 1918 to 1967 to find a very different world to the one you knew, where despite coming through two world wars, armed conflicts still raged around the globe. The technological advances, the progressive attitudes of the 1960s; the possibilities of where this story would go had me eager to read this novel.
In 1918, Harry Turchin has recently married Annie Mackenzie when he is sent to war in the trenches in France. Due to some unfathomable event, instead of coming around in an army hospital after an explosion, he finds himself in a field in France in 1967. He is fortunate that a local family believe his story and take him in. After a time of recovery and learning how to navigate this new world, he makes his way back to Cambridge where he was studying before the war and to Huntingdon where he lived with Annie to find out if she is still there. Here he meets Annalise Taylor who is studying Physics and Maths at the university with the aim of specialising in Astrophysics and ultimately working for NASA. Annalise offers Harry a place to stay and helps him trace his family before realising that she has fallen in helplessly love with him.
I found it hard to put this book down and easy to sink back into it when rejoining the story. This is a lovely and well-consdered historical romance/time slip which played with my emotions as I debated Harry's choices. I think in the end he made the right decision, but whichever choice he made, I could see it would have had severe consequences.
It was hard not to read the last few chapters ahead of time as I desperately wanted know if Harry and Annalise would be happy in the end. I loved this story and would wholeheartedly recommend it to readers.
