The Wake-Up Call by Beth O’Leary was a charming enemies to lovers romance (can you call that trope charming? 🤔) that takes place at a quaint hotel in England.
I had no idea that this was a holiday romance until I saw it on someone’s holiday roundup! I already had it on my tbr (without reading the synopsis!) because I’ve read and loved all of O’Leary’s other books but I bumped it up to read in December after seeing that post.
I ended up grabbing a physical copy of this at the library to go along with the audio so I could keep reading on a road trip. This audiobook was gorgeous to listen to! Lino Facioli narrates and his Brazilian accent brought oh-so-dreamy Lucas to life.
This didn’t end up being my favorite O’Leary book to date but I still really enjoyed it. Izzy is a fiery, optimistic main character in spite of the knocks life has thrown at her. The shenanigans at the hotel, the cast of guests staying over the holidays, and the slow burn build up made for a great book!
