ADELIE
Losing my home isn’t an option. So when I’m offered a modeling gig at a quirky theme park--complete with a paycheck big enough to save everything—I say yes before I can overthink it.
What I didn’t expect?
The Wonderland rebrand is led by a sharp-eyed, maddeningly charming billionaire who thinks I’m perfect for the role of Alice . . .
And maybe more than that.
MADDOX
Wonderland is falling apart—and I’ll do anything to save it. Hiring Adelie was supposed to be a business move. But from the moment she walks in, everything shifts.
She’s shy. Steady. Completely out of place in my world.
And absolutely the spark I didn’t know I needed.
But getting close to me puts her in the crosshairs. Old enemies are circling, and Wonderland isn’t the only thing on the line anymore.
Now, I have two goals:
Keep my park afloat.
And protect the girl who’s quietly becoming everything.

This book left me starry eyed. I loved that Adelie is so innocent - she is truly awed by everything in life. So inspiring to take a look at everything like it's new. Maddox sees her innocence and truly wants to protect her. I think he fell in love with her at first sight. I loved feeling that sense of Wonder that these two well developed characters took me on. Catelyn Meadows writes a fairy tale almost as easily as the Grimm Brothers or Lewis Carroll. I truly love the characters in this book - even Maddox' friends and Adelie's family. They are all so great and supportive of each other. The premise is also cool - get shy Adelie to boost Maddox' flailing theme park. During all of the going's on, I was unable to figure out who was behind all the mayhem. When everything came to fruition, I was truly surprised. I love the way Adelie and Maddox' relationship unfolds. They are each so supportive of each other. A great book!
Sweet & sizzling fairytale retelling with a healthy splash of suspense!I Absolutely adored this enchanting fairytale retelling with a splash of suspense!!! And some of the sweetest love lines ever . . . Such as . . .“Someday, I’d find a man who gazed at me as though he’d drunk a love potion, who’d steal touches, and who I couldn’t wait to see at the end of every day.”Adelie and Maddox agree to a marriage in name only to help draw out a criminal. However, the more time they spend together, the more real the whole marriage seems. They try to keep their emotions under wraps, but their chemistry is sizzling!“Falling in love means you start from scratch. There’s no obligation for those feelings to exist. They blossom because the other person is such a match for you that love can’t help existing.”“He’d opened himself to me and given me permission to do the same. He pushed me out of my comfort zone. He encouraged me to be more than I thought I could be.”Sweet, clean and Absolutely enthralling!.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Alice and the Billionaire's Wonderland (Book 3 of Once Upon a Billionaire) by Catelyn Meadows. Good addition to this series. Glad to see characters from other stories appear in this one too (nice way to catch up with the gang). Addie is super shy and uncomfortable in any spotlight. She needs a job in order to safe her family home. Maddox is trying to save his theme park by rebranding, and he finds Addie to be the perfect Alice for him. He is asking a lot, and she is taking a risk by agreeing. I liked how both characters felt genuine with conflict and broken bits. I liked the interactions they shared and the chemistry they could not deny. Things are not always wonderous at Wonderland- there is a bit of suspense and action-packed drama as they try to figure out who is behind all the sabotage. I enjoyed their story and would recommend to others along with the rest of this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
