Alice is all grown up. Running the Mad Hatter's Cupcakery and Tea Shoppe is a delicious job, until fate--and a fairy godmother with a weakness for bad boys--throws her a curveball. Now, Alice is the newest resident of Wonderland, where the Mad Hatter fuels her fantasies and thrills her body with his dark touch.
The Mad Hatter may have a voice and a body made for sex, but he takes no lovers. Ever. But a determined fairy godmother has forced Alice into Wonderland--and his arms. Now, as desire and madness converge, the Hatter must decide if he will fight the fairy godmother's mating--or fight for Alice.
For... centuries... fairy godmother, Danika, has been searching for the soul mate of the Mad Hatter, pulling Alices from left to right. When she succeeds in delivering Alice Hu, grand-daughter of an epic fail of an Alice match, Hatter feels a pull like none before to the young woman and despite his qualms and fears of the past repeating itself, he and Alice end up in bed rather quickly. I would swear it was the first night, but time lost meaning for me in this book. They were given three days but I don't think they used them all.
Even though supposedly Alice was not to be able to return until those three days were up. Anyway...
Me loved Hatter. And the madness. Ohhhh the madness. Would have enjoyed the prolonging of its goodness.
Alice, *groan*.. When the first thing a female character does is along the lines of squealing and shouting "girl power," she's begging for death. And woah, this one actually gets it.
4 out of 5 stars. It's got the unique factor and is written with what comes across as effortless talent. However, it's rushed. And not in a way I could easily overlook or accept.
