De: Leslie Kelly

Narrado por: Mak Bowen

He's a thief. She's a teacher. A wicked queen is screaming, "Off with their heads!" and a white rabbit is helping out. They must be in some kind of Wonderland!

Jack Harte doesn't mind being called a knave, He is, after all, a thief. Now he's been hired to steal back precious artifacts looted by an evil queen. The break-in isn't that difficult, it's the getting away that's the tricky part. Especially since he's stolen from someone with magic, not to mention an army, at her disposal.

Teacher Allie Lang never imagined she'd fall through a cave into a new reality and meet the man of her dreams. His clothes are strange, his words even more so. But this charming rogue saved her life. So when he admits he's on the run, and urges her to come with him, she does.Now they have to: Evade the queen's army. Get out of the Kingdom. Deliver the precious artifacts. And try to get Allie back to her own home. All while dealing with a wicked queen's magic, angry soldiers, a moody bunny, flaming arrows, talking butterflies, shrieking eels, an explosion or two, and their own fiery attraction.

Piece of cake, right?Well...maybe not.

Gratuitous sex, little plot/character development

This sounded like it would be cute, fun, light, and entertaining, but instead, it quickly turned to gratuitous references to or direct descriptions of sexual acts with little character or plot development.

What a fun sexy romance!

I really liked this storybook type romance. Alice in Wonderland is relocated to a fantasy realm where fairy tales are real, the queen of hearts is really a witch with dark magic, the knave is a hunky thief, and Alice is a schoolteacher who fell through a cave into the arms of her fantasy guy. it is super steamy and the person who narrates does an amazing job with the voices and accents. I went to look for more from that narrator but couldnt find any. Hope they do more.
