This wasn’t my favourite by this author. I wasn’t fond of the main character and found her mildly annoying at times. I did like the search for the owners of the five rings – that was fun – but the romance didn’t impress me. Also, the book takes place in the weeks leading up to Christmas but it’s not marketed as a Christmas romance? Weird.

The workplace behavior was deeply unprofessional but the romance was very sweet.

Talk about mixed signals…Izzy and Lucas have that and so much more. The dynamic between these two had me laughing and loving the sizzle between them. Even through all the bickering, there was no doubt that there were feelings between them. But could they figure out what feelings they have before the hotel closed?

The Wake-Up Call is fun rom-com that had me wanting to read just a little more or a lot more. I could not wait to get home from work and have “me time” to read. The story moved quickly with good detail to the surroundings and characters. I love the Forest Manor Hotel and the history that comes with the old place. The people who stay in that hotel have become friends of the hotel. The employees who worked in the hotel were invested in making it a successful business again.

I recommend The Wake-Up Call to anyone who is looking for a fun rom-com that is easy to read.

Pride and Prejudice but they are coworkers who work at a hotel.

Enemies to lovers, opposites attract, slow burn, etc. I enjoyed this a lot but I imagine I would’ve hated it if I were in the wrong mood. Very sweet and I liked that it was kinda sorta set where I live. I don’t live in the New Forest but it’s less than a half an hour away.
