MY REVIEW
The Wake-Up Call is a fun enemies-to-lovers romance that’s sure to get readers in the holiday mood!
It’s the busiest time of year for the Forest Manor Hotel, but unfortunately, it will take a miracle to keep this hotel afloat past Christmas. But when Izzy returns a hotel guest’s lost wedding ring, she comes up with an idea that just might save the hotel. The only problem is that Izzy will be forced to work with her enemy, Lucas. But the more time these bitter rivals spend with one another, the more complicated things become. Will Izzy and Lucas be able to save the hotel and their jobs? Will these bitter rivals be able to put their differences aside? There’s only one way to find out….
I thought this book was a fun read. I love, love, love enemies to lovers romances, so once I read the blurb, I just had to get my hands on this book. Izzy and Lucas did not disappoint and gave me the enemies-to-lovers vibes I was hoping for.
Izzy was bright and full of sunshine. She could be a bit over the top and frustrating at times. Meanwhile, Lucas gave off some very grumpy vibes. I loved seeing that there was more to him than what most people got to see. Together, these two did have some great chemistry, I just wished they would have communicated with one another better. A lot of frustration could have been avoided if they would just talk.
Overall, I thought this book was a fun and light read. It did frustrate me at times and I wasn’t a fan of the slow pacing. However, the plot and the characters made up for it and in the end, I was happy to have given this book a chance.
