Absolutely loved it from start to finish, I love how Jamie Admans always keeps the main characters level of innocence and wonder. Here we have Cleo and Bram. Her dream of having a Wonderland themed Café is off to a rocky start when she is told that Bram would be working with her. He is loud and flamboyant, and suits his Mad Hatter character well. Both have trust issues and both have secrets set to be uncovered.
It's been a fun read, the banter and friendship between the two is wonderful to fall into, being on Ever After Street is an added bonus.
Will there be love between Alice and the Mad Hatter? Will Bram help Cleo unlock her blocks and can she forgive and make sense of events set to unfold in the story. You'll have to read to find out, personally though, it's 5 stars all the way.
I thought this instalment of the Ever After books was so good, I’d love to run a tea shop just like Cleo, but the thought of losing your love of baking was so unique (and scary to me) it was a fantastic twist abd I just loved the Alice in Wonderland theme and Bram, everything was just so lovely, I can’t fault this for making me smile as much it did
I'm loving this Ever After Series that is a spin on Fairytales! Each business is a based around a different fairytale and in this book we see one of my favorites, Alice In Wonderland, come to life with the Wonderland Tea Shop. I am so entranced with the idea that I truly wish this was a real place that I could visit. The author gives a vivid description that brings the location to life as well as the rest of the street and community. The author writes extremely compelling characters. The characters have realistic personalities complete with anxieties, flaws and other realistic features that breathes a sense of realness into these sweet romances. The plot is so well thought out that you can't stop turning pages to see what happens next. You can see bits of yourself in each character in one way or another which perhaps is why it is so easy to connect with the characters so easily! As with fairytales, these stories do get a happily ever after so if you enjoy a sweet romance with a unique twist complete with laughter, a bit of tears, a bit of angst and a whole lot of friendship, support and love then you have found the right series. I do recommend that you start with the first book as it will build the street, town and community of people in your mind all that much more which of course, will enhance your reading enjoyment!

A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street by Jaimie Admans is a charming addition to the Ever After Street Series, enchanting readers with its whimsical narrative and heartwarming characters.
The story follows Cleo Jordan, who dreams of opening a teashop in memory of her beloved grandmother. Her journey takes her to the magical Ever After Street, where she secures a spot for her teashop, The Wonderland Teapot. However, Cleo's dream is threatened when she loses her passion for baking and must rely on a little white lie to keep her aspirations alive.
The arrival of Bram, a charismatic magician and the street's very own Mad Hatter, brings a new energy to Cleo's teashop. His encouragement helps Cleo rediscover her love for baking, but Bram's secrets cast a shadow of doubt. As Cleo navigates the challenges of running her business, she must learn to trust again, even as potential sabotage looms.
Admans' storytelling is as delightful as ever, weaving a tale that captures the reader's imagination from the first page to the last. The romance between Cleo and Bram is sweet and genuine, filled with misunderstandings and moments that will make readers smile. The community of Ever After Street adds a layer of warmth, offering friendship and support that enriches the narrative.
It's a story that balances everyday struggles with the magic of fairytales, making it a perfect read for those who enjoy contemporary romance with a touch of enchantment. The writing is warm and characters are vividly drawn. The plot weaves together themes of love, trust, and the pursuit of dreams.
In summary, A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street is a delightful escape into a world where dreams can come true, and tea is always brewing. Jaimie Admans has crafted a story that is both magical and relatable, ensuring that readers will be eagerly awaiting their next visit to Ever After Street.
This is the latest instalment in the Ever After Street series and is another feel good, heartwarming story. Cleo has always wanted to own her own teashop just like her nan had. She is lucky enough to be given the opportunity when the teashop on Ever After Street becomes available and she is given a three month trial. With her Alice in Wonderland theme all should be wonderful but Cleo has lost her love of baking and is having to buy cakes from the local supermarket. Enter Bram, dressed as the Mad Hatter, who has been employed by the council to help her but is her secret about her lack of baking going to be uncovered? Bram has so much energy but who is the real Bram? This is about trust, friendship, community and love. Easy to get lost in and covering many different emotions and with some humour too this is a very enjoyable read. Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC
I picked this up right at the heels of the previous one, since there was a hint about the content. We digress from the regular fairytales to Alice in Wonderland.
Our leading lady has a baker's block. She also wants to run a tea shop with the Alice theme so she's in a bit of a pickle. A man who embodies the Mad Hatter in person is dropped into her plans and things chug along in an interesting fashion.
Once again, I felt very emotional about the experiences the two characters have gone through and what they are striving for here. I may not have wept, but I did tear up at times.
There's humour here as well, but fans of Alice will find even more than I did to enjoy within these pages.
I highly recommend this series as a whole to anyone on the lookout for lovable characters.
I received both these books as ARCs but my review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
Cleo has always wanted her own teashop so when she's offered one on Ever After Street loves it. Calling it Wonderland Teapot it's theme is Alice in Wonderland. Everything's fine until the Mad Hatter turns up and she's told he's an employee
I've read numerous books by Jaimie Admans, and I always enjoyed them. "A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street" was no exception. Although I'm not the biggest fan of Alice, I love tea and have considered opening my own tea room. Therefore, I was fully invested in Cleo's story. I first met her in Marnie's book and was eager to learn more about her. Upon reading her story, I found Cleo to be an interesting and relatable character. Bram was equally endearing, and they made a lovely pair.
Overall, the book is a beautiful story about pursuing your dreams, finding your people, and your place. It also emphasized the importance of friendship, family, and love.
The book had the perfect mix of fun, drama, and romance, making it a delightful read. If you're a fan of Alice or sweet romance books, this book is definitely for you.

Back to Jaimie's Beautiful Ever After Street Book 3 where we meet Cleo, who is interviewing for the teashop on Ever After Street job. Her idea is to change it into an Alice in Wonderland theme and the council loves the idea soon she meets Bram who is eccentric (weird in his words) and downright bonkers and together they run the Alice in Wonderland tea shop.
I love this book I love Bram he made this book and poor Cleo just wanted a break from her bad luck and poor Bram is the black sheep of his family I just wanted to hug him. I understand his reasons for why he does things (no spoiler). I loved this book it was a whirlwind of magic and love and I smiled the whole way through
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another fairy tale story for adults that will give you all the feels. Jaimie makes becoming an adult and reading adult books a little less dull with this whole series of stories based on fairy tales that will give you all the feels.
I loved how this book is full of characters that are slightly different or even weird, but also loved and appreciated for who they are. There was lots of baking and learning to believe in yourself, but also some drama that kept it all exciting.
Once again the community on Ever After Street really come together to help out Cleo when she needs it and that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Another fun read from Jaime Admans. Cleo and Bram were adorable together and a joy to read about. Despite the strange idea to supply a tearoom with storebought cakes. Nice to see the regular Ever Aftee street characters back in the lineup too.
This is a lovely frothy feel good series.
The romances are warm hearted and will bring a smile to your face. While the protagonists are never perfect and do have to overcome challenges there is always a sense of hope.
This book focuses on the relaunch of the tea shop. Previously the only themes less shop on Ever After Street, Cleo dreams of turning it into an Alice and Wonderland themed display of tasty treats and unbirthday parties. She’s a girl on a mission, but a very limited budget and a big secret. She has lost her baking mojo!
Along comes Bram, the Madhatter to her Alice, quirky and energetic, he is an upbeat chirpy presence. He is not your usual romantic lead. He sets out to help Cleo and of course sparks fly.
There are some challenges and mysteries along the way. But as this is Ever After Street you know that you are in safe hands in your journey towards a happy ending.
I love the premise of this series and I really wish that someone would make this street for real as the biggest disappointment with the book is that I don’t get to celebrate my unbirthday with Cleo and Bram.
This is a lovely, light-hearted and fun series. Of course I will be reading the next book when it’s published!
What a fabulous magical and joyous escape!
This is the third book in the Ever After Street series but it worked well as a standalone and I didn’t feel I needed to have read the others to enjoy this one. I knew I loved Jaimie Adman’s style after reading The Post box and the North Pole but this book made me grin from the first page for it’s immersive, entertaining plot and over-the-top but sensitive love interest, Bram. Like the protagonist, Cleo, I never expected to fall in love with a blue-haired, excitable magician and Mad Hatter but I did – hard. He was such a good multi-layered character to read and connect to that I couldn’t put this book down. Everyone needs a Bram in their lives.
Likewise, I related to Cleo’s dreams and troubles so became invested in the pair getting together and the success of the wonderful tea shop, The Wonderland Teapot. The vibrant and imaginative descriptions of the shop made it easy to visualise and with oodles of references to Lewis Carroll’s zaniness in Bram’s dialogue brought delight on every page. I long for the building to be real so I can experience an Unbirthday tea party for myself. As a fan of Alice in Wonderland it was an ideal destination and foundation for a romance. It was clear the author had fun writing and creating this book making me love it more.
A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street was more fun and bonkers than I could have expected and is an ideal romance when feeling blue and need an uplifting, soul restoring hug. Or on a lazy summer day.
It was wonderful to catch up with all the lovely shop owners on Ever After Street. I would love to visit if this was real and the latest outing involving an Alice in Wonderland themed cafe was just as idyllic. Cleo and Bram are fabulous characters and I loved the story from beginning to end. This can be read as a stand alone if you haven’t read the other books.
I have been a fan of Jaimie's work and have been for a couple of years now. I haven't quite caught up with everything that she has written but that is something that I hope to rectify in the not too distant future. I must admit that I am particularly enjoying the series set on 'Ever After Street'. 'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' is the third book in the series and what an addition to the series it is too. I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' but more about that in a bit.
I loved the character of Cleo and I warmed to her from the very start. In fact Cleo ended up feeling more like a friend rather than a character in a book. Cleo is a lovely young lass who has been through the mill a bit over the last few years. She was particularly close to her grandmother, who has sadly passed away now. They shared a dream of opening their own tea shop and even though Cleo is on her own now, she decides to open the tea shop in memory of her gran. There are a few hiccups along the way. Cleo meets Bram when he turns up to work at the tea shop, although she knew nothing about it. There's no denying that there is a fair amount of chemistry between the two of them but it soon becomes clear that Bram is hiding his own secrets. I kept everything crossed that they would both work through their problems and that they would both get the 'happy ever after' ending that they both deserved. What happens? Well for the answer to that question and so much more you are going to have to read the book for yourselves to find out as I am not going to tell you.
The fact that I saw the name 'Jaimie Admans' on the cover of a book that I knew I hadn't read yet was enough to grab my attention and draw me in. When I realised that it was the next book in the 'Ever After Street', that was it for me. I started reading and didn't stop for a good couple of hours. This was one of those books that proved rather addictive reading. My Kindle wasn't exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I couldn't bear to miss a single second of the story. Part of the reason why I enjoyed the book so much has to do with the characters. I loved most of the characters but my favourite characters were Cleo and Bram. I developed my own theories as to how the story was going to develop so I had to keep reading to see if I was anywhere near the truth and how that would affect Cleo and Bram. The more of book that I read, the more I wanted to read and the quicker the pages seemed to turn. I was so wrapped up in the story that I didn't realise just how quickly the time was passing and how quickly I was getting through the book. All too quickly I reached the end of 'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' and had to say goodbye to Cleo, Bram and the other residents and traders on Ever After Street. I found 'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' to be a delight to read from start to finish with lots of love, life and funny moments.
'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Jaimie Admans. Jaimie has an easy going writing style that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. In fact reading one of Jaimie's books feels more like a chat between friends rather than reading a book. I hope that makes sense. Jaimie clearly cares about her characters and this shines through in the very vivid and realistic way in which she describes them. She makes her characters seem just as real as you and I. In fact I ended up feeling like some of the characters had become friends of mine. I love the way in which Jaimie makes the reader feel as though they are part of the story and at the heart of the action. That's how I felt anyway.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' and I would recommend it to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Jaimie's work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.
This is my least favourite of the ever after series. Still worth a read but something was missing from this one.

Cleo’s dream is to open up an Alice in Wonderland themed tearoom on Ever After Street. She aces the interview and is offered a 3 month probation period for the space. She wasn’t all that truthful, so now she has to figure out how she’ll make her dream come true.
Bram is a quirky fella that is working in the tearoom as the Mad Hatter. He plays the part fabulously and might just be catching the eye of his very own Alice. I found him to be quite the delight.
Of course we have a couple unbearable characters that I'd like to send rolling down the street in a barrel.
I think I’ve watched just about every Disney movie except Alice in Wonderland, how crazy is that? Haven't read it either. Since I’m not familiar with it I’ll just assume it was properly depicted. I enjoyed the magic of it all.
My favorite part of the whole series is how every character on Ever After Street is so helpful and supportive of each other. When Cleo is blackmailed every single resident steps in and does whatever they can to help her out.
Somewhat repetitive and predictable, but an enjoyable addition to the series nonetheless.
Series notes:
While I don’t think it’s fully necessary to read the first 2 books it would be more enjoyable if you do so. Marnie from book 2 is Cleo’s best friend, so she pops in quite often to lend a hand and an ear. There wasn’t much interaction with book 1 characters, but they are referenced.
Narration notes:
I did not listen to this one, but am just giving the info above for reference.

Review for 'A Wonderland Wish On Ever After Street' by Jaimie Admans
What an absolute stunner from the extremely talented Jaimie!!! Well done Jaimie on absolutely beautiful and perfect read!! This is the ideal beach read where you could sit there and turn around and just imagine being on the magical Ever After Street.
The book is extremely well written with beautiful descriptions that completely drew me in. The synopsis and the cover match the storyline perfectly!!
The storyline itself is absolutely magical and completely swept me away. This is the third book in Jaimie's 'The Ever After' series and although it is the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone with no problems but I cannot wait to go back to the previous two books and get completely lost in those too!! I mean, seriously, this book was just absolutely enchanting, beautiful, heart-warming and an absolute must read especially to turn a frown upside down!! It is filled with love, magic, secrets, friendship, baking, drama, romance and everything you could ask for in a stunning must read. You need to clear your schedules before starting this as it is completely unputdownable!! I picked this up in the morning and absolutely devoured it several hours later. I was completely hooked and so lost in the beautiful settings, magical storyline and amazing characters that I just could not put it down. Although I was devastated to come to the end I am going to go straight back and read the first book in this series which is called 'A Midnight Kiss On Ever After Street' and I'm excited to meet the characters again and see how they have moved on from the start! Jaimie's beautiful and evocative writing skills ensures the readers are absolutely sucked into the stunning storyline with the atmosphere and characters coming to life all around them.. I absolutely fell in love venturing into Ever After Street and Jaimie portrays life in a small community absolutely perfectly I became so invested in this book that it actually felt like going on a holiday and I absolutely dreaded coming to the end where I had to unpack my suitcase and get back to reality. It was an absolutely compelling, easy to read, beautiful and addictive heart lifting read that kept me turning the pages. I loved discovering the pasts and histories of the characters and the street itself and I was absolutely swept away in the story line. The characters, surroundings and everything came to life around me and I cannot wait to return in the previous and next books in what promises to be an absolutely stunning series. This book would make a beautiful movie and I will be the first in line to watch it!! I absolutely adored the Disney theme which adds to the enchanting magic!! An absolutely gorgeous, cute and addictive start to what promises to be a stunning series!!
Do not turn a single page of this book until you have cleared your schedules and when you do get ready to go on a stunning holiday you will not want to leave!!
I became completely invested in the characters, along with the storyline, who were all absolutely fantastic with their own individual personalities, flaws and quirks. They all started feeling like friends so quickly having got to meet and know so many of them so well. I felt like I was leaving amazing people and friends and feel quite sad about that but am happy in the knowledge that I can go back to the previous books in the series and meet many of them again while I am waiting for the next stunner to be released. Jaimie is hopefully writing her next book and bringing them alive as I write this as it wont take me long to zoom through the first and second books if they are anything at all like this one (hint hint Jaimie😉). I loved watching how Cleo and Bram's characters and personalities develop and go from strength to strength from the first page to the last. I also adored watching them getting closer and seeing the sparks between them. Jaimie's is an absolutely phenomenal writer and her talent ensures that these and the other characters all leap off the pages and come to life in front of your eyes! I have NO idea how I have never read of her stunning books before now but I am so glad I have rectified this!! I cannot wait to meet most of them again in the first, second and next books in this series which I really, really, really hope is not going to take too long to come out!!!This is one of those series which could go on and on and I wouldn't get bored. Here's to meeting them all again along with the next new faces of Ever After Street!!
Congratulations Jaimie on an absolutely gorgeous success!!! I'm definitely looking forward to my next holiday on Ever After Street!!! Welcome to my favourite author club and here is to your next success!!!
Overall this is a perfect, stunning, page turning beach or fireplace read with a great gang of characters that will sweep you away to the magical and enchanting Ever After Street from the very first page to the end!

Yet another wonderful book by Jaimie. With loveable characters and beautiful narratives making it a heart warming early summer read.
I adore this series so, so much. Admans has taken the fairytales we loved as children and reworked them into this magical series, which takes place on none other than Ever After Street.
This time round it was my absolute favourite ever book Alice in Wonderland's turn.
The central setting for the book is The Wonderland Teapot teashop, which is being run by Cleo and her very own Mad Hatter Bram.
All of the characters are warm and so likeable, and it's always a delight to revisit both them and the Ever After Street community.
A heartwarming read that's doused in magic and a sprinkle of
romance.
