The Billionaire’s Wake-up-call Girl (Billionaires of Manhattan, #2)

The Billionaire’s Wake Up Call Girl is my very first book by Annika Martin and let me just say that I am in love. This book got me from the very first page. I loved the Hero and heroine both equally. And even though this was a romantic comedy, it had me all twisted up. Yes I know in my heart these are going to end in a HEA. But I was so worried about these two and how this was all going to be worked out. I didn’t want to stop reading!
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Cooper had everything going for her. She had started a small bakery which was flourishing. And she had fallen in love. Only the man she gave her heart to took a lot more than just her heart. He took her for everything. Now the bakery is closed, she is in debt up to her eyeballs, and a lone shark is showing up at her door with a gun. So, she took a short term job working on the online presence for a pharmaceutical company. If she can keep the job for just one month, she will get a large bonus that will satisfy the lone shark. Just one month! She can do that right?
Theo Drummond is CEO of Vossameer. Theo is known for a product he invented but is also known for his surly attitude. He runs his company in a no frills fashion. He wants everyone to concentrate on their duties, not on what he deems frivolous things.
The first time Lizzie actually meets Theo, there is something there, eyes meet and hold, electricity sparks. Lizzie isn’t the only one that notices though. Her supervisor, Sasha, picks up on it and doesn’t like it. Lizzie is off men, she needs to keep this job, so she decides to do whatever it takes to make her boss NOT notice her. Wear frumpy clothes, no eye contact, whatever she has to do to keep this job so she can get her bonus.
“His hotness has its own force. It has its own gravity. It has its own zip code, miles past the neighborhood of stop staring and deep in the religious experience of beauty zone.”
For some reason Theo doesn’t use normal alarm clocks to wake him up at 4:30 in the morning. He uses a wake up service. Only no one will have him. He’s run them all off. It seems he’s not the most friendly in the morning. Lizzie is tasked with finding him a new service but when no one will take the job, she decides to do it herself. How hard could it be? Only things don’t exactly start out on the right foot. But that something is still there, even though Theo doesn’t know who she is, that zing is there over the phone. Their morning conversations become personal, secrets are whispered and soon their talk turns hot, sizzling hot. Theo wants to know who she is, he wants to know her. But Lizzie isn’t sharing.
“This woman. I need more of her. I need to know her. I have to find her. And the answer is out there. I’ll crack this puzzle like I crack every other puzzle. I’ll find her name. I’ll find her address. I’ll find her.”
Oh my gosh, that right there should have you one clicking like crazy. These two! The secondary characters were amazing as well. Both Lizzie’s roommate, Mia, and Theo’s sister, Willow, were so much fun.
This book was perfection. It was fun, sweet, sexy as heck, and like I said before, it had me all tied up as Theo tried everything to figure out the identity of his wake up call girl and Lizzie prepared for the day when the lone shark was going to come knocking and she wouldn’t have the money. I love it when I try a book by a new to me author and fall in love like this. I’m already looking through her other books to see which one I want to try next.

He closes his hand around mine. My heart pounds. For a moment, I think he might not let me. But then he does.
This book is killing me. In a good way I mean. In the BEST of ways!"
