I have read this book before and I enjoyed listening to it so much, this is my second time through. It feels really good to see the way she navigates through the office mire and ends up a glowing star. Annabelle plans to charm the old codger! Working in an office again, Annabelle is reminded of the good, comraderie and the bad, a nasty, jealous co-worker. Said landlord leaves rules and writes notes to his "tenant" about perceived infractions to his rules. Sophie and her husband find temporary housing for Annabelle in the gorgeous outbuilding of the home of a mysterious curmudgeon of a landlord. Annabelle moves to Phoenix to become the artistic director in her best friend Sophie's advertising company. For this production, I love the male/female narration, and wish more romantic stories were read by both male and female readers. Jenn McKinlay is the mistress of sweet, comic romances. And soon she wonders if she and Nick might help each other find the courage to embrace life, happiness, and true love.
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 30 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 best-selling author Jenn McKinlay.
