REVIEW: Her Mad Hatter by Marie Hall



Her Mad Hatter

5 HEARTS

From Goodreads

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.


I have always love Alice in Wonderland so when I saw this book I had to have it. I will admit I had high expectations but it didn’t disappoint at all. 

Hatter is nuts like always but it is so endearing. The riddles and the ramblings were very hatter-esque and not over done. He did have a bit of a bite but after going through hundreds of Alices but it wouldn’t feel real if he wasn’t a bitter. Once he gave Alice a chance they connected on so many levels.

Alice was caring and very inventive. I loved her shop and the cupcake ideas were so cute. I felt a bit sorry for her because Hatter wasn’t the prince charming she imagined at first. He was a bit of an ass. She did preserve until he let her. Then my heart dropped when she left because they thought Wonderland didn’t want her. But the ending was beautifully done.

This is a great redo of an old classic. Sometimes the new take on an old favorite can leave a bad taste in your mouth but not in this case. It was refreshing and pulled me right in. I really loved Danika because she didn’t go for the “normal” fairy godmother pupils. She wanted the bad boys right from the start and that was such a unique twist. I loved it and I can’t wait to start the rest of the series. Marie Hall you made a fan for life!

SPOTLIGHT/ GIVEAWAY: Moment Series by Marie Hall



A Moment 

  (Moments #1)


Ryan Cosgrove and Liliana Delgado are on a collision course with destiny. They don’t know it yet, but before the night is over their lives will be forever changed.

Spending Valentine’s Day at a burlesque bar, hadn’t been Liliana’s ideal way of spending a Friday night. She’d much rather be back on campus doing homework… until she meets Ryan. Tall, athletic, and gorgeous, Lili can’t keep her eyes off him, and despite his gruff manners and drunken disposition she’s intrigued.

Ryan’s got demons, and they’re deep, dark, and eating him alive. Regardless of his attraction to the petite brunette he’s tired of fighting, of pretending the last fifteen years haven’t been a daily struggle just to get out of bed every morning. That night he decides to end his pain, to leave it all behind and float away into the blessed darkness of oblivion. But fate has other plans for him, Lily finds and rescues Ryan, determined she’ll not only save his body, but his soul too.


This is their moment…

FREE until September 20th.

Sometimes in life....

Things were supposed to get better when Ryan met Lili. I was supposed to move on, get a life... but I'm stuck and lost. Things with my father are not good. There are demons in our closet, big ones. Ones I want to kill him for, I'm seeing a shrink, I'm trying to get better... but my life feels out of control, like I'm a raft adrift on the sea. I don't know where to look, how to get anchored again, and then I meet Zoe Stone. Something about her draws me out of my rut, makes me laugh for real, smile, and for the first time in years I want to be more. But what will she think when she discovers who I really am?

...all we have...

When Alexander Donovan, aka The Golden Adonis, walks into my tattoo parlor, I know I'll do anything to make that man mine. There's an instant connection, a need to know more about him. Everything about him. But there's also a mystery surrounding the guy, when people look at him they only see the man that laughs, that cracks jokes and makes the world think that everything's okay, but I see the truth... I see the darkness that lurks so deep inside few would ever recognize it. I want to help him, I want to be with him, now I just have to make him trust me enough to let me in.

Is Right Now
