Someday I’ll Find You is an epic World War Two love story with a bit of a love triangle. The beginning is a bit slow and confusing but the second half of the book makes up for that. Full of suspense right up to the last page the author did a great job keeping me on my toes. I wish there had been a send to kindle option for this eARC as the print on the Netgalley app was small the authors writing however was on point.

Someday I'll Find You by C.C. Humphreys is a sweeping and heart-wrenching historical romance novel that transports readers back to the turbulent times of World War II. Humphreys' writing takes readers on a journey from decadent pre-war Berlin to the atrocities of Guernica, from dogfights over Sicily to an Oslo ground under the German jackboot.

Ilse’s and Billy's experiences and sacrifices feel authentic and moving, and their story is a testament to the power of love and human resilience in the face of adversity. Overall, I recommend Someday I'll Find You for anyone who loves historical romance, wartime drama, and compelling characters. Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday Canada for the advance review copy.

The perfect balance of romance and intrigue, Someday I’ll Find You is everything I want out of a historical novel: erudite and brimming with expertly researched verisimilitude, wrapped in a winning, wonderful voice and highlighting Humphreys’ inimitable penchant for deft characterization. One of Canada’s finest historical authors proves yet again he can seamlessly weave in and out of any time period effortlessly and this beautifully rendered WWII canvas from London to the European Theatre and beyond is no exception. Destined to delight long-time fans, Someday I'll Find You will also have those uninitiated clamouring for this talented authors’ backlist.

Someday I'll Find You is an interesting story that is fast paced with a lot going on. It started off a bit slow but picked up quickly.

The story is about Billy Coke a pilot during the war, and Ilse Magnusson, who becomes a spy. They meet, become romantically involved and then war separates them. Will they survive against the odds and meet up again? Only time will tell. There is many twists and turns to the story and the ending was suspenseful right up till the last paragraph wondering how it would end.

I liked this book and would recommend it, especially to people who like WWII books. Thanks NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for an advance copy of this novel.
