Resumen del Editor

Two hotel receptionists—and arch-rivals—find a collection of old wedding rings and compete to return them to their owners, discovering their own love story along the way.

It’s the busiest season of the year, and Forest Manor Hotel is quite literally falling apart. So when Izzy and Lucas are given the same shift on the hotel’s front desk, they have no choice but to put their differences aside and see it through.

The hotel won't stay afloat beyond Christmas without some sort of miracle. But when Izzy returns a guest’s lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management that this might be the way to fix everything. With four rings still sitting in the lost & found, 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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Beth O’Leary can do no wrong! I’ve loved each and every one of her books, and The Wake-Up Call is yet another gorgeous, evocative romance. Beth has a gift for creating complicated, tender-hearted characters and dreamy, whimsical settings that you never want to leave behind. Put this on your TBR immediately."―Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Meet Me at the Lake

"This is Beth O'Leary at the height of her powers. Hypnotically good, fresh, fun and moving, with one-liners that made my sides hurt, characters I want to take out to dinner, and one of the best endings I've read in some time. This is not just a great rom com, this is a Beth O'Leary rom com, and in my opinion there is no better writer out there."―Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time

"O’Leary’s is full of heart, humor, and a sprinkle of holiday magic. While this will easily find a spot on holiday displays, it will also appeal to readers who love enemies-to-lovers storylines with supporting characters who shine."―Library Journal

Beautiful

I wasn’t sure in the beginning if I like it or not, but I ended up loving it!

Something Was Lacking

The premise of this book excited me, but by the end I was left unimpressed. I am currently reading The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary on my Kindle, and so far, it’s a five star read for me. So, I was very excited when I found out about this book by Beth O’Leary. The romance in this book is a slow burn, but even by those standards, it felt like it moved at turtle speed. Also, just a personal preference, but I would’ve liked a little smut in this one. The romance scenes were a little disappointing. Also, I went into this one expecting a Christmas read, and it wasn’t as Christmas-y as it could’ve been. Overall, it was cute, but not my favorite.

Good light romance

Good story, unique. Difficult at times to understand the male character with heavy accent though.

Love love love!

One of my favorite Tok comes so far. Several laugh out loud moments and an endearing story.

All the heat without all the vulgarity

A delightful love story perfect for the season, The Wake Up Call, ticked all my boxes, except maybe it was just a little too long.

I love this book🥰🥰😍😍🥲

Happy and satisfying ending- great story- so many twists- lovely complicated characters- friends who become family❤️ already went back to read my fav chapters

Perfect cozy winter read

Beth O’Leary never disappoints but this one was absolutely perfect for listening on chilly winter nights by the fire and Christmas tree. Loved the long main character development and the hotel characters were so lovable. Highly recommend!

No accent in female narrators narration of Lucas

It drives me crazy when a narrator ignores a character’s accent. But this was so much worse than normal because the male narrator had a very heavy accent. It was jarring every single time the narrators switched.

Sweet story!

Such a lovely book! The narrators did an amazing job. The whole hotel setting and supporting characters really gave made this a warm and coat read

Yes, Yes, YES! The book I’ve been waiting for!

I loved The Flatshare — like listened to it over 20 times, maybe 30. Her other books have been good, but they have not struck the same note as that first one, until this one. From the moment it began I kept thinking “This is the one I’ve been waiting for! This is the one I’ve been waiting for!“ I am so happy to have a new favorite and am already hitting start again.
