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?
Stephanie’s 4.5 Motherfucking Calls Review
I LOVED this book!!! You need to read it!!!!
Lizzie Cooper is sweet, funny and confident. She is trying to recover from a financial situation. She is strong and independent. Lizzie lands a job at Vossameer Inc. and will get a large sign on bonus after thirty days of employment. This is vital to her current financial situation.
Theo Drummond, CEO of Vossameer Inc., is a crazy-smart scientist. He’s observant and yet oblivious. He is also a control freak. Gruff and reclusive, he never shows anyone the real him hidden behind formulas and lab coats.
“…this is the control freak responsible for the stern and joyless workplace that is Vossameer.”
Lizzie’s boss gives her the task of finding a new wakeup call service for Theo. How hard can that 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.”
Desperate, Lizzie decides to do the wake-up calls herself. She needs her job and doesn’t want to disappoint her boss. What ensues is hilarious! With a little coaching from her roommate Mia, Lizzie makes her first “unorthodox” wake-up call. Lizzie’s no-nonsense calls do not go unnoticed by Theo. After all, no one wants to upset the very serious Mr. Drummond! But he finds it refreshing and new to have someone stand up to him.
“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.”
The chemistry between Lizzie and Theo was great! The phone calls – hilarious and then HOT! Smoking HOT! Things get crazy! But Lizzie and Theo also develop a connection over the phone, one that blooms into more….
“This woman. I need more of her. I need to know her.”
Such an unexpected, delicious, sexy surprise! Annika Martin is a new-to-me author. I really enjoyed this book! At times I was even laughing out loud. Lizzie and Theo are so well written. The story was fun and interesting with a bit of an emotional side to it. It kept me turning the pages! I also loved Lizzie’s best friend, Mia. There were a lot of fun moments with her and Lizzie. I look forward to reading more from Annika Martin!

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.
