What if Alice didn’t fall down the rabbit hole, but instead, traveled through
Lincoln Tunnel into another kind of Wonderland:
New York City.
The best day of twenty-five year old Alice Leighton’s life was the day she got to put her nothing special, lil Southern town in her rear-view mirror. Good-bye to phony ‘bless your hearts’ and ‘I’ll pray for you’ crap, all while talking trash behind her back. She’s New York City’s latest addition and she’s going to work her ass off proving she earned her spot in the country’s top grad program.
Never again will she let some jerk derail her future and break her heart. Oh, and no more players. She’s D.O.N.E with the ‘cool guys’.
Getting caught up in Dare Grangeworth, the art world’s resident bad boy, was not part of her Alice 2.0 plan, even if he is just her type, with his beard, tats sleeves and intense green eyes. When he’s not dodging the press or his cultish fan base, Dare’s making art that makes a statement. Women seem to lose their heads around him – all the more reason why he finds Alice’s candor refreshing. He’s used to women giving in – not giving attitude.
He has to get to know this girl, even if it means allowing himself to be the subject of her research. Before too long, he becomes more than a simple outlier she can explain away. And for him everything starts to feel larger than life and upside down, like a heady rush, all while desperately trying not to lose his heart.
Become lost and found in this re-imagined story of Alice and her cast of characters, in a world where Wonderland meets Sex-and-the-City.

REVIEW

THE WONDER OF YOU is a great way to start this new series. It's a dreamy read that will make you fall in love with the busy streets of New York and the Art Community that surrounds the metropolis, but our two characters and their friends that will steal your hearts in a jiffy.

I always admired strong women, and Alice didn't disappoint. Independent, smart, sexy and witty - she's a woman who knows that she can do and has control of her life. She just had a huge shift coming from the south to face the vultures in the big city to get her doctorate for human sexuality. Good thing she has her sister and a couple of sexy, nerdy girlfriends who had her back.

Dare has a chip on his shoulder from a mysterious past relationship. The city and his past have hardened him, but he really has a big heart. He's easy to like: he's a charmer, he's artistic, he's hardworking and he's hot. 

Somehow, our Alice found her prince charming in the weirdest place and in a weird encounter.  I love their witty banters, and how easily they fit into each other's lives. It didn't feel forced at all. 

This novel is fun, and sweet. It's a light read and easy on the heart, you can't go wrong with it. It's a real treat this valentines day!

AUTHOR
Born in California and raised in South Florida, Harper Kincaid has moved around like a gypsy with a bounty on her head ever since. For years, she was a jill of all trades and a master of none, but is now tickled hot pink to pen stories that break and mend people's hearts for a living. Kincaid believes seduction occurs from the neck up, which is why her characters are smart, sexy, and slightly quirky - and definitely worthy to be your next hard-core book crush.
When not writing, she adores listening to indie, lo-fi, complaint rock played on vinyl,  the theater, well-informed optimism, happy endings (both kinds), and making those close to her laugh 'til they snort. She is a self-admitted change junkie, loving new experiences and places, but has now happily settled in the cutest lil' town, Vienna, Virginia.
