Heartfelt slow burn

Reviewed in the United States on 13 August 2021

Well, this was a surprise! I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, but it turned out to be an intimate little treat. I'd consider this to be along the lines of an American version of The Flatshare - if you liked the focus on personal growth and slow burn women's fiction-turned-romance feel of that book, then you'll probably enjoy this one as well. Romance is at the heart of it (complete with a few fan-worthy scenes), but both characters need to go on a journey of self-discovery before they're able to let love in. I loved the broken, vulnerable hero who finds his strength along the way, and I loved the romance that simmers in the background. It's a slower-paced love story that probably won't be for everyone, but the intimate moments shine.

The story follows Annabelle, a twice-divorced 28-year-old who has lost her confidence. When one of her exes re-proposes, it's the catalyst to finally make some changes. Annabelle moves across the country for a new job, and her friends set her up with a place to stay. The only problem? Her new landlord, a wealthy and mysterious retiree who frequently leaves stern notes that detail all the ways she is annoying him. Though Annabelle assumes Nick is a cranky senior citizen, he's actually a thirty-something guy who is dealing with his own issues. He's struggling with the changes in his life, and Annabelle is a fascinating distraction. As the two connect, they discover that their broken pieces fit together perfectly.

I've always been a fan of unique meet cutes, and this certainly has one. We meet Nick and Annabelle as individuals, and the notes are the only thing that tie them together for much of the book. Both characters are fully developed, though I think Nick is really the star. His journey is an interesting and impactful one - a man who had let money and power consume his life, until a health scare (a stroke) forced him to re-evaluate everything. There's an emphasis on mental health, as well as plenty of emotional moments and self-reflection... plus some serious chemistry and a touch of steam. I've never read a romance quite like this one, so it kept me hooked from start to finish - even though it's definitely got a laidback, slow feel in a lot of ways. The romance does feel a little rushed, though it's a major part of the story. That would really be my only complaint about this heartfelt romance; I sincerely enjoyed it the whole way through.

Worth a reread

Thoroughly enjoyed "Wait for It." Well written with a flowing narrative, I happily wallowed without interruption (by irritating typos or repetitive phrases) in all my favorite tropes. Usually, I'm antsy for the MCs to engage face-to-face, but the pacing worked. I was quite content following Annabelle settle into her new job while wearing down Nick's wall of isolation. Honorable mentions go to secondary characters: Jackson, Lexie, and Sophie. As for Carson, the villain I loved to hate, he could have been written smarter and still come off the same disreputable stinker.

I am a ferocious reader and enjoy most genres. This is not just your typical romance story. It is a story that covers all human emotions and life’s ups and downs. Engaging story with characters that you will love and hate. Hard to put down but then sad when it’s over.

Fear & stubbornness are no match for love

Annabelle - married and divorced twicebefore thirty - needed to make some changes.Change number one was a move across the country to move toward her future and away from her past. Her best friend had a job waiting for her and living arrangements made. She was tested both at home by a less than gracious land lord and at work by the man who lost a promotion upon her arrival. The story is a lesson in change and acceptance and a wonderful read.

First came PARIS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA where we first met Annabelle and thankfully she now has her own story with WAIT FOR IT. The characters were charming, funny and real. The book is entertaining and hard to put down.
