One Liner: The best hugs!

Cleo Jordon has always dreamed of owning a teahouse like her gran. But life didn’t work the she hoped, and she was left with almost nothing. When the teahouse on Ever After Street is available, Cleo presents the Wonderland Theme to apply for it. She hopes everything will get sorted.
What’s Wonderland without Mad Hatter? Bram has only felt comfortable being a magician and putting on a façade to hide his vulnerabilities. Seeing Cleo’s struggles, he is determined to help. But with both of them struggling with the weight of their pasts, can they find a way forward and towards each other?
The story comes in Cleo’s first-person POV.

My Thoughts:
The book works as a standalone, though the characters from previous stories appear a few times. The series is themed around fairytales, and here we have Alice in Wonderland (though it is not a Grimm’s piece).
This is my fourth book by the author, I love how much care she puts into crafting her main characters. They feel so real and flawed with fears, vulnerabilities, and temper tantrums, but also compassion and love.
We learn more about the characters as they get to know each other. The layers peel, little by little, bringing them together and readers closer to them. Though we get the entire story from Cleo, we can see Bram and understand his emotions easily, just as we would have if we got his POV.
Cleo is our grumpy girl, while Bram is the cutesy sunshine. He can be a bit OTT, but I understand where he is coming from. They make an adorable couple! The romance is, of course, a slow burn with some witty banter and heartwarming moments. And oh, her books have the best hugs! Can never have enough of these. Loveee it!
There are a couple of stereotypical characters we would love to hate. One of them does get a slightly better arc.
The community at Ever After Street is vibrant, cheerful, and always ready to help their own. Naturally, they step in and take over whenever necessary. The small-town vibes and the magical setting give this a cozier feel.
I always enjoy descriptions of the setting. Though we don’t get much of the outside details in this one, the tearoom comes alive on the pages. Cleo seems to have done a great job of recreating Wonderland (I haven’t read the original so can’t say much). We do go to the castle again, so yay!
The pacing is slow and steady, something I expect from the author’s books. The constant mention of cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, etc., made me droll! Wish I could grab some from the screen (why hasn’t technology advanced as much yet?).
We have the dreaded third-act breakup, which I expected. I could see both their POVs, so I’d say it is quite balanced. On the whole, if you ask who handled things better afterward, I would vote for Bram. Cleo levels up… eventually.

To summarize, A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street is a sweet tale of a new start, healing, finding one’s tribe, seeing beyond the façade, and falling in love with someone who sees the real you.
Thank you, NetGalley and Boldwood Books, for eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.

Since Cleo was a little girl and helped in her mum and grans teashop, she always wanted to have one of her own. She always thought that one would become hers one day, but sadly it wasn't meant to be. After a difficult few years, where she's hidden herself away, an opportunity presents for her to lease a tearoom on the fairytale Ever After Street. It's the opportunity of a lifetime...except she lives in a caravan and has forgotten how to bake.

Nevertheless, Cleo gives it a go, but the council seem to keep wanting to poke their noses in...with unexpected staff turning up and surprise inspections, and then the gremlins start meddling. Will Cleo get to keep her tearoom? Are Mad Hatter Bram and Queen of Hearts Tabby who they seem? Will Mr Hastings ever get off her back?

It's my favourite Jaimie Admans book yet, I love Alice in Wonderland and I know I would LIVE in that tearoom if it was near me. I love Cleo, I love Bram and I don't want to say goodbye to any of them!

Review also posted to Goodreads but unable to link account.

Enjoyed it. The book is a cute and fun read, especially if you love all things surrounding Disney and fairytales. Marnie's story has ben my favorite so far in the series. The Wonderland themed teashop is the perfect addition to Ever After Street. Cleo bases the teashop more on the Disney Alice in Wonderland cartoon movie than the book. I hate to say it but I didn't love Cleo and Bram as much as the previous Ever After Street couples. At times I forgot they were actually in their 30s and not teenagers. I sometimes wondered if Bram was a child put into adult situations. He couldn't rebel enough from his parents. His Mad Hatter schtick would definitely grate on my nerves after a while. He constantly put on his Mad Hatter personality instead of being himself. Bram was actually a nice guy when he wasn't pretending to be someone else. All his complaining made him seem like a poor little rich boy. I'm not sure why it took Cleo so long to realize who Bram's father was. All the clues were right in her face. I can't believe she actually thought Tabby was telling her the truth. Tabby's motives were as obvious as Bram's blue hair. The teashop must have been huge inside for all the decorations Cleo added and to have Alice, a Mad Hatter and a Queen of Hearts constantly walking around. Everything important always happens at the castle. You either declare your undying love or have a huge miscommunication. Mr. Hasting was definitely setting up Cleo to fail. How could he realistically think she could cater a 150 person wedding in that short of time while still working at the teashop. I love seeing the characters from the previous books and getting updates about them.

Definitely recommend the book and the previous ones in the series. Enjoyed the story, characters and writing style. Naturally, I want to visit Ever After Street and go into all the stores. Look forward to reading more books by the author. I can't wait to see what's happening next on Ever After Street. Love the cover of the book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Boldwood Books, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved this book from the first page!! It offered a mix of romance, whimsy, and a touch of magic. It’s a story that encourages readers to believe in the power of wishes and the importance of trusting others to help make those wishes come true.

It’s always lovely to return to Ever After Street. This time we focus on Cleo who is taking over the tea shop and giving it the Alice in Wonderland treatment.

Cleo soon finds herself with a mad hatter of an assistant called Bram. I think Bram might be my favourite character yet. He is quirky, humble and fun. Although he comes with quite a lot of family baggage.

This is a quirky tale of love, believing in yourself and following your dreams.

Another great visit to Ever After Street.
This time it surrounds the new cafe the wonderland teapot. Chloe manages to blag the job for a three month trial period but it’s all she’s ever known it’s just a pity when she bakes now fire brigades are called. She has also inherited a mad hatter called Bram, but is he who she thinks he is. Follow the journey of Chloe and Bram can they make ever after street there forever home.
Brilliant series

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have enjoyed every book I've ever read by this author and this book was no exception. This was a wonderful book that I enjoyed from start to finish!

Absolutely perfect book. I adored it. It was fantastical, charming, moving, ao beautiful of a story about self worth, love, acceptance and friendship. Perfectly written, wonderful characters, 10 plus!!!

As a lifelong Disney and fairytale fan, I’ve been loving the Ever After Street series this past year, and I was excited for Cleo and Bram’s story. Ahh, Cleo and Bram. These two. *all the hearteyes* I loved their dynamics - Cleo as the slightly grumpy, closed-off, mistrusting business owner who initially sees Bram as more of a nuisance than anything, and Bram, the sunshiney, eccentric, colourful magician and Mad Hatter to Cleo’s Alice. I loved watching their relationship progress into friendship and then something more. They were two damaged people who showed each other sides of themselves they never showed other people, and helped each other heal. It was beautiful. Their interactions also ranged from hilarious to sweet to romantic, and I loved every moment of it and cheered them on from beginning to end.

I adored A Wonderland Wish on Ever Aftet Street. It was funny, touching, heartfelt, and so swoony. I can’t wait to return to Ever After Street later this year and be reunited with these wonderful characters who now feel like friends. Side note: Be sure to have a sweet treat and a cup of tea handy while reading Wonderland Wish because this book will definitely make you hungry!

Another lovely book in the series. This one follows Cleo, fulfilling her dream of opening a Teashop on Ever After Street.

Cleo is thrilled to fulfill her dream of running a tea room, continuing a family tradition set by her mother and grandmother. But her journey isn't without challenges. She only rents the property from the Council, meaning she has to prove her tea room, Wonderland Teapot, is a valuable addition to Ever After Street. A more significant hurdle is her sudden inability to bake anything edible. Once a great baker, her skills vanished after the loss of her grandmother and a devastating house fire.

Enter Bram, a whimsical magician and entertainer hired by the Council to assist in the tearoom. Bram is charming yet maddeningly unpredictable, using humor and pranks to lighten any situation. Despite his playful antics, Bram reveals a kind and helpful side, proving instrumental in helping Cleo with her business struggles.

Bram’s eccentricity brings a delightful energy to the story, echoing the craziness of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. His playful wordplay and banter, especially when he feels uncomfortable, add to the charm. Though Bram often hides behind his humorous facade, he helps Cleo rekindle her lost joy in running the tea room.

While the setting on Ever After Street suggests a happy ending, the path there is filled with bumps and twists, making the development of Cleo and Bram's friendship an enjoyable and engaging journey.

Struck with grief after losing her Mom and Grandma, our MC, Cleo shuts herself from the world, forgetting the thing that once came naturally to her–baking.

But when the opportunity of running her own tearoom arises–something she has always wanted–Cleo decides to take a leap of faith and clicks send on her application.

Things take a turn for the worse when there's a misunderstanding at the interview and panicked Cleo tells a little white lie that store bought cupcakes are her own. And finally her dreams of running a tea shop turn into reality but on her first day of work, a man dressed as the Mad Hatter appears at her doorstep.

What follows is a heartachingly sweet and tender love story where two adults try to overcome their insecurities while lifting each other up.

This is the third book in the series but can still be read as a stand-alone.

Highly recommend!!

It was so lovely to return to this series and this one was highly anticipated by myself! This book was gorgeous and magical, it was lovely to return to familiar characters and meet new ones. I absolutely adored the blossoming friendship/relationship between Bram and Cleo, they couldn't have been a more perfect team. I loved the premise of a wonderland tea room and Jaimie's way with words made you feel like you had been transported into the book and was sat right there along everybody else. I couldn't recommend this series more, it's unique, it teaches us to never neglect the child within us and it holds the most delightful of characters!

I love books by Jaimie Admans. I have read every single one, so I was delighted to be approved to read a free review copy via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third book in the Ever After Street series - with each book being based upon a different Disney film/ classic fairytale. This time it was Alice in Wonderland; the one I know the least out of the stories covered so far in the series, yet strangely I enjoyed this retelling/ adaptation the most!

Cleo sets up an Alice in Wonderland themed cafe, and is assisted by the council appointed ‘Mad Hatter’ Bram. Unfortunately, Cleo has lost her baking mojo and various events conspire to mean she is at risk of losing the cafe. Luckily, Bram is on hand to help her through the chaos. But is all as it seems?

This was another enchanting romance book from Jaimie Admans. I whizzed through it with a massive smile on my face. It could definitely be read as a stand alone, although you would get very minor spoilers for books 1 and 2 if you did that. Plus, this series is so charming that I fully advise you to read them in publication order.

I highly recommend this book, and this series, to romance fans. A lovely read and a big hug in book form.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 stars)

This book was an absolute joy to read and I couldn't put it down. This story follows Cleo and her attempt to get her life back on track by opening a tea room with a difference, that being Alice in Wonderland themed . One of the conditions to her trial lease is to employ a chap called Bram who is to be her very own Mad Hatter to her Alice. A wonderfully told story, beautiful descriptions of the tearoom setting and delicious sounding cake A pure magical read that I heartily recommend. Thank you netgalley for a chance to read an early copy.

Cleo opens a teashop in memory of her grandmother, based on allice in wonderland. Beautiful location and wonderful characters.

This series has quickly become one of my favourite set of stories, the characters are all so well described and absolutely perfect for the individual stories but I also love it when they are mentioned in the background of other stories. This book based around an Alice in Wonderland themed cafe is really enjoyable, the storyline is predictable but I find that's part of the charm, I love the way Jaimie Admans writes and am excited to see if there are more books in the series - please let there be!!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely love the magic and happiness this author captures in her books. This Ever After Series is definitely my favorite aside from her Christmas books. I love how she works in so many Disney references throughout. Though Alice and Wonderland isn't my favorite Disney movie, I still loved all the Easter eggs that were thrown in from the movie and books. I still think the beauty and the beast on was my favorite but I still enjoyed this one as well. Jaimie Admans definitely knows how to capture the cozy hallmark feel in her books. Now she just needs to add a the Rapunzel hair salon story to her Ever After series and my life will be made.

An Alice in Wonderland tearoom, descriptions of yummy baked goods, a fairytale-themed street, and a completely adorable romance--yes, please! I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I'm so happy to know that there are two more in the series (hopefully more to come, as well?). Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley, and the author!

I always enjoy this series, and this latest book is just as delightful as the others. Back on Ever After Street, Cleo is determined to take over and remake the Tea Shop into an Alice and Wonderland themed tea experience. She has everything precisely done, except for a very important aspect....she has forgotten how to bake. When a Mad Hatter, AKA Bram, walks into her shop magic happens. Suddenly Cleo has more to look forward to than just tea.
This story is a sweet, light read that will leave you wishing you could still believe in fairy tales. I am already looking forward to the next book.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
