Audiobook Summary-
Wait for It by Mariana Zapata is a slow burn romance novel that navigates single parenthood, found family, and emotional healing through love and patience. Diana Casillas is suddenly catapulted into a new role as the guardian of her two young nephews with the tragic death of her brother. She is determined to provide them with stability and relocates to a quiet neighborhood and sets about creating a life of safety and love. Her life intersects with Dallas Walker, her shy and slightly cranky neighbor, who at first keeps his distance but gradually becomes drawn into Diana's messy, loving world. As Diana navigates motherhood, work, and loss, her relationship with Dallas develops from strained neighborly meetings to something profound and unexpected. Dallas, also a former sports professional with his own demons, finds solace and connection in Diana's strength and vulnerability. Their love is not hurried but develops naturally, based on mutual respect, support, and silent affection. Wait for It gives a touching account of tenacity, understated passion, and the loveliness of allowing someone in after life has knocked you off your feet. Readers of realistic, character-based romances will find this novel deeply rewarding and emotionally dense.
