Wait For It

I totally enjoyed Wait for It, by Jenn McKinlay, an emotional, hilarious, and amazing tale that tugs at the heart-strings. Annabelle Martin has had a tough time adulting, a few bad choices in relationship, is a bit spontaneous but is a very caring and nurturing person. For example, when her first ex-husband proposes to her, she panics and announces she is taking a job with her best friend in Arizona. Moving from Boston to Arizona gives Annabelle a fresh start and a new job; working in an office instead of freelancing. Renting a guest house on a beautiful estate, she and her landlord, Nick Daire, communicate only in handwritten notes. Nick suffered a stroke a few months prior and stayed inside his home, except for doctor appointments, hiding from the world who he had become; a broken man. Once Annabelle finally meets Nick she is surprised that he is young, not the grumpy old man she believed, and uses a wheelchair. From the moment Annabelle and Nick meet, you can sense the chemistry and fireworks these two created. Nick the grump met Annabelle a slice of sunshine. These two were so good for each other; a balance, yin to yang, or puzzle pieces fitting together. Nick had the knowledge and connections to help Annabelle in her new job while Annabelle was able to get Nick out of his self-imposed cell. These two are loveable characters, not perfect but their flaws made them more personable. Their ability to take chances and move past their life challenges added a depth to this story. Ms. McKinlay wrote a wonderful, emotional, and h fun, sexy, quirky, heartful, and emotional story filled with sweet gestures, sizzling chemistry, supportive secondary characters and heartfelt discussions, that helped Annabelle and Nick find their inner-strength, love, and motivation to live a life that allowed them to be better people. I highly recommend Wait for It to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
