Product Description

Product Description

You either love him or hate him. No matter if you think he’s an asshole or just a nice guy in a heap of trouble, Jack Reynolds will stir your feelings...

On the surface he has it all: the women, the career, and the Central Park view penthouse, but behind his well-groomed and chiseled facade he has nothing.

At least this is what he's about to realize.

Find out how Jack gets his life-changing wake-up call in this fast-paced, heartfelt and funny novel about soul-searching, friendship, and love.

Readers response to The Wake-Up Call...

"A riveting page-turner."
"Brilliant fun for small money."
"If you don't smile to this book, you probably never smile anyway."
"Like a male Bridget Jones in the voice of Marian Keyes."
"Good style, great flow! Can't remember that a book entertained me this much."
Gritty, realistic and a damn good read!"
"The Wake-Up Call really has it all - you laugh, you're moved and most of all you're entertained."

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Highly Entertaining! 2 Jan 2012
By S. Borg
Format:Kindle Edition
A very good read! This book takes the reader into this fab, high-end business class life of a single guy named Jack with all the world at his knees; women, money, career, power... only to realize how screwed up life can get in a split of a second. Then it hilariously screws up a bit more, and when you think this guy maybe just had enough, guess what...! The way the main character tries to get out of all the awkward situations is one of a kind, and I was impressed with his creativity in finding an escape route for each occasion!

It is a very well written book, with parts were you laugh your heart out, others that leave you mouth opened with amusement. And events that you really didn't expected were you just go .... "What??" and reread the last part over again to make sure you got it right :)

This book totally takes your mind into Jack's world, you start to visualize it as if he really existed, like you are seeing it all in real-time! It is a journey trough wonderful cities, breath taking beach resorts, and real life wake up calls :)

I await eagerly for more books from this author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indie authoring at its best 5 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a fast, exciting read. Jack Reynolds, a self-absorbed high-flying, high-stress executive and serial womaniser, is all about image. He has designer-label this, top-of-the-range that, and thinks he's living the ultimate enviable lifestyle.
However, it's not sustainable. Jack's shallow world comes crashing down around him when he gets the first of his wake-up calls. Calls plural? The title refers to just one, but in my opinion Jack gets several which accumulate to finally make him turn his life around. You can make your own mind up when you read this story.
What is this book? It's not quite romantic comedy, although it has both those elements in it. It's certainly contemporary, and there's a strong picaresque element to it in that it's the story of a lovable rogue going on a journey of self-discovery. But you don't need to pigeon-hole it. It's a unique book, it's gritty, it's realistic, it's a damn good read.
The characters are interesting and complex, the various settings are well portrayed, and the plot is exciting and original. On the technical side, there are a few minor typos, but I'm an editor so I tend to notice that stuff! On the whole this book is extremely well-written and constructed. And it's precisely why this era of self-published books is so great - books like this get to find an audience.
Looking forward to your next book, Jonas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read 7 May 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book.

I downloaded it as a freebie but feel if it was recommended to me it would be worth paying for it too. The writer has you with the story at all times, it is never boring and is quite humorous all the way through.
