About this listen

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 best-selling author Jenn McKinlay.

Stuck in a dreary Boston winter, Annabelle Martin would like nothing more than to run away from her current life. She's not even 30 years old, twice-divorced, and has just dodged a marriage proposal - from her ex-husband. 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.

When she arrives in the Valley of the Sun, Annabelle is instantly intrigued by her anonymous landlord. Based on the cranky, handwritten notes Nick Daire leaves her, she assumes he is an old, rich curmudgeon. Annabelle is shocked when she finally meets Nick and discovers that he’s her age and uses a wheelchair. 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.

Despite her promise to herself not to get involved, Annabelle finds herself irresistibly drawn to Nick. And soon she wonders if she and Nick might help each other find the courage to embrace life, happiness, and true love.

Critic reviews

"Both fans and readers who are not already smitten with McKinlay’s zingy prose and effervescent wit will soon find themselves happily succumbing to this author’s many literary charms, including the effortless way in which she deftly pivots from moments of comic absurdity to heartfelt emotion without missing a beat.” (Booklist, starred review)

“Overall, this book was incredibly enjoyable and very engaging. I would definitely recommend Wait For It to friends who enjoy reading romance novels that deal with more serious topics.” (The Nerd Daily)

Honestly I had to know what happened. Probably a better actual read. Did not like the voice actors— could have been wayyyyy better but besides it being predictable I kinda liked the journey of how it got to where you knew it would end up.

Predictable hallmark book-but

Just really wasn’t happy with the storyline, nothing interesting happened and it turned out too perfectly at the end, not like real life. Skip.

Nothing exciting

Wait For It by Jenn McKinlay is a fun rom-com. I actually took it to the ocean to read it. It truly was my “beach read”. I loved the “Paris is always a good idea” reference, it made me smile. I can’t wait to see what Jenn McKinlay writes next.

I really wanted to enjoy this book since the author's other book was AMAZING !! .. but sadly this one didn't deliver
The story is about Anabelle and Nick.. she is new to town to be a creative director for her friends company, and Nick is living a trauma after having a stroke and nine months later he is still in rehab, so Anabelle lives as a tenant in Nick's property and they form a "relationship" when Nick notices that Anabelle is breaking the rules .. but somehow they fall inove with each other ..?
I could't see the chemistry between the two since they both live in a different world and they don't officially meet until three quarter of the book and theb everything was moving too fast for my taste .. I am really disappointed that I didn't like this book bexause I LOVED Paris is Always A Good Idea .. I wish if we get some good books again because I have high hopes for this author
I would relly prefer if the books was in Lexi's ( Nick Sister) point of view and her story with Jackson was way more interesting to me than Nick and Anabelle

the narrators did a fantastic job narrating the book to keep me engaged throghout the book

Not as Good as her other book

I don’t believe I’ve read anything by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find the story written so well and different than some of the other romance authors. Jenn creates a romantic but complex story and does it well. I couldn’t put the book down. I stayed up all night reading until the end. This doesn’t happen all the time that you find the story so compelling you can’t stop reading.

I highly recommend. I believe most romance addicts like myself will enjoy!

Great story!

The book overall was cute and I enjoyed it, but the male narrator's voice is extremely distracting and the weirdest accent I've ever heard.

Fun book, distracting male narrator

This book is worth the listen. It made long runs bearable and by the middle, the miles flew by. Give it a go and you’ll be happy you did.

Fun read!
