I love the Arizona setting and everything else in the synopsis is calling to me as well. McKinlay’s last novel, Paris is Always a Good Idea, was one of my favorite reads from last year, so I’m very excited for her latest. My selection for this week is WAIT FOR IT by Jenn McKinlay.

It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme. And soon she wonders if she and Nick might help each other find the courage to embrace life, happiness, and true love.“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about.

Nick suffered from a stroke a year ago, and while there's no physical reason for him not to recover, he is struggling to overcome the paralyzing fear that has kept him a prisoner in his own home.ĭespite her promise to herself not to get involved, Annabelle finds herself irresistibly drawn to Nick. Annabelle is shocked when she finally meets Nick and discovers that he’s her age and uses a wheelchair. Based on the cranky, handwritten notes Nick Daire leaves her, she assumes he is an old, rich curmudgeon. When she arrives in the Valley of the Sun, Annabelle is instantly intrigued by her anonymous landlord. When she’s offered her dream job as creative director at a cutting-edge graphic design studio in Phoenix, she jumps at the opportunity to start over. She's not even thirty years old, twice-divorced, and has just dodged a marriage proposal… from her ex-husband. Stuck in a dreary Boston winter, Annabelle Martin would like nothing more than to run away from her current life.

A woman looking for a new lease on life moves to Arizona where she rents a guest house on a gorgeous property with a mysterious owner-a man who teaches her about resilience, courage, and ultimately true love, in this funny, bighearted novel about hope and healing from New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay.
