Jenn McKinlay
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. Stuck in a dreary Boston winter, Annabelle Martin would like nothing more than to run away from her current life. She's not even thirty 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.

"It took me awhile to get into this. The two MCs didn’t meet until about halfway through so it was kind of boring up to that point, after that I really liked it. "

"It’s not that I “disliked” this book but it was very much just fine. It took too long to get to the point, and then went so fast, things didn’t make sense. Also hated Nick’s character, comes off as a d-bag, but apparently it’s for show but then makes everything revolve around him and his “struggles”. Also parts just aren’t believable, how do you move to a new state for your bff and then only have interaction with said BFF maybe 4 times in the entire book. So made made so little sense to me "

"This was a slow start but definitely worth a second try!! I love Nick and Annabelles story. The ending was super cute and I ended up reading 200 pages in one day just to finish it. I loved it so much and definitely needs more recognition!"

"This was a cute read. I thought it to be a little predictable but that didn't take away from the writing at all. I enjoyed it. "
