The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl by Annika Martin
Publication Date: July 9th, 2018
Genre: Romantic Comedy
SYNOPSIS:
When my manager assigns me the task of finding a new wake up call service for our CEO, I think, how hard can this be?
Answer: practically impossible. It turns out that no wake-up call company in the world will take him on as a client. They’ve all had enough of his surly personality.
So in an effort not to lose my job, I secretly start making the calls myself, every day at 4:30 am sharp. OMG yes you read that right—four freaking thirty in the morning.
Confession: I’m not the nicest wake-up-call girl at that hour. Hello! Who wakes up before the roosters are even crowing? Luckily he doesn’t seem to mind my get-your-ass-out-of-bed attitude.
Day by day we’re becoming closer, and the calls start turning hot, like pay-by-the-minute hot and oh-so-wild. Snuggled under the covers with the moonlight streaming in the windows, we divulge our secrets to each other, but the one thing that he can never find out is that the sexy vixen who wakes him up every morning is just the lowly assistant who wears frumpy dresses. I can only imagine his disappointment.
Now he wants to take me out on a date and he’s scouring Manhattan to find me. He’s an overachieving billionaire bent on a mission. How much longer can I keep up this charade?

Review by: Flavia
I haven't read any of this author's books before. But Holy Freaking Smoke this book was seriously off the charts HOT
Lizzie has been having a tough time of late. A boyfriend who cheated her out of her dream and stealing everything she has and then putting her into more debt and on top of it a couple of loan sharks showed up demanding payments from her. Hence she is working at Vossamer helping them change their image. And all she needs to do is hold on for the probation period to get the bonus. But then her boss asks her to find a Wake up service for the CEO. But as he is a demanding bossy male and has gone through most of the Wake up services, she decides to do it herself. And man was she in for a surprise.
Theo Drummon is a sexy alpha reclusive genius chemist. And he was a demanding boss which he doesn't seem to think is a problem as he demands perfection from himself so the same goes for his staff. Until a cheeky Wake Up Call Girl calls him on his bossiness and talks back to him and doesn't take any b/s from him. And he kind of like it. But then she refuses to tell him who she is or go on a date with him. But Theo Drummon always gets what he wants and he wants his Wake up Call Girl, desperately.
I loved this book, it was hilarious at times, and the back and forth banter between Lizzie and Theo was freaking HOT! Who knew that he was a total alpha dirty talking male. I loved the chemistry these two had from the beginning and the more you read the more it just dragged you into their story. Definitely an 5 star read for me.
5 Stars
Excerpt:
Lizzie hasn’t even met Mr. Drummond yet, but she can already tell you all about him: I’ve never met the notorious Mr. Drummond, but evidence of his assholery is all around. The employees here are fearful, as though they’re expecting to be fired at any moment, or maybe beheaded. The environment is sleek gray marble and steel, like an elegant and slightly futuristic prison. No outside decorations are allowed, not even in the deepest recesses of your cubicle. Even the outside of the building is unforgiving—a mod gray concrete bunker with rectangular windows arranged in straight rows. A study in harsh geometry. Mr. Drummond doesn’t like decorations, my manager Sasha told me once. Vossameer is about lifesaving solutions, not party streamers. I’d brought a giant tub of home-baked frosted cookies to share my second day, and people nearly fell out of their chairs. It turns out we can’t bring treats to share. Ever. This is a workplace, not a potluck, Sasha said. I’ve gotten good at sensing the jerky DNA of Mr. Drummond’s statements, and I’m pretty sure that was one of them. Same with the party streamers comment. It’s something about the sheer jerkiness of it, and also, how Sasha changes her voice to sound breathless and intense. Everyone here is obsessed with Mr. Drummond. They seem to regard him the way the ancients regarded the gods that controlled the weather and plagues. Angry and vengeful, yet glorious. Never to be spoken ill of. Also, nobody talks about Mr. Drummond without using the word “amazing” at least once. Maybe that’s in the employee manual somewhere. Sasha’s obsession goes way further—more into awestruck love territory. She speaks his name like she’s whispering hallowed secrets to the Greek oracles atop Mount Olympus—Mr. Drummond this, Mr. Drummond that. Amazing Mr. Drummond. “Mr. Drummond is not the most sociable person in the world,” Sasha breathlessly informed me the day I started. “He has extremely high standards—for himself and for his employees—but his amazing breakthroughs save lives every day. The work we do to support him makes that possible.” And then she’d looked me deeply in the eyes and said, This is the most important job you’ll ever have. I’d just nodded while making a mental note to stay away from any brightly colored liquid.
