It's the busiest time of the year, and Forest Manor Hotel is quite literally falling apart. So when sworn enemies Izzy and Lucas are given the same shift on the hotel's front desk, they have no choice but to put their differences aside.
The hotel won't stay afloat without some sort of miracle. But when Izzy returns a guest's lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management this might fix everything. With four rings still sitting in lost property, the race is on for Izzy and Lucas to save their beloved hotel - and their jobs.
As their bitter rivalry turns into something much more complicated, Izzy and Lucas begin to wonder if there's more at stake here than the hotel's future. Can the two of them make it through the season with their hearts intact?
The Wake-up Call by Beth O’Leary follows two colleagues Izzy
and Lucas as they try to help save the hotel they work in from collapse but
this means working together and yet the pair can’t be in the same room without arguing
or winding each other up.
With each chapter alternating between both characters POV we
get an insight into how they are both thinking and feeling in each situation
and also see how the other is interpreting things differently too and this
worked really well for this book. The author writes from both the male and
female perspective perfectly and this helped to really connect with each of
them.
There is a love hate romance burning through the middle of
this storyline that at times had me laughing away and at others wanting me to
bash their heads together but there are also many tender heartfelt personal
moments too which added more depth to this uplifting story.
There is a wonderful
sense of support in this novel with everyone trying to chip in and do what they
can to try and help each other in this very odd set up and it brings a
comforting feeling and one of hope.
This was one of my favourites by this author it was easy
reading, witty and sparkling with romance the perfect book at the perfect time
for me.
