Hello again everyone! If you can see the banner above, you know what day it is. It's Wonderland day! This time, we have Scott Jenkins' story, and what a story it is.
Synopsis:
Scott Jenkins is charming, smooth, full
of ambition and he has plans. Plans that don't involve being a 19-year-old
builder, working long hours at his father's construction company, hauling
wheelbarrows or stacking bricks in an underpaid job. But as with most things in
Scott's world, the dreams and ambitions he has set himself never really go to
plan.
When Scott's best mate, Ethan
Walker, hits rock bottom, everything changes overnight. After years of trying
to figure out his purpose in life, he now knows what he has to do, and more
importantly, who he has to save. Tiptoeing on the outskirts of a world filled
with drugs and violence, Scott ends up walking down roads he never even knew
existed. What was once a simple life, suddenly seems incredibly complicated -
especially with the arrival of a forbidden love who is determined to make
things even more difficult for him.
Follow Scott on his journey to
Wonderland, where friendships are tested, relationships are destroyed and a
dangerous woman leaves the guy who once thought he knew exactly, what he
wanted, in the pits of despair.
Road to Wonderland Series book 5
(all books are standalone reads)
This book was all kinds of wonderful. I love that I felt like I'd known Scott forever (since he's popped up in the other books), but now I got his part of the story. Scott Jenkins is the type of boy you love so much that you just might hate him. He's sweet and smart and sexy and knows that he's all those things, and that you're thinking all those things. Sometimes he seems absolutely clueless to the effect he has on women, but you're never quite sure if it's a game or just his adorable nature.
What I truly loved about this book was the friendship between Scott and Ethan. Since I've been cheering for Ethan since day freaking one, I loved seeing him at his most vulnerable from his best friend's point of view. I loved watching Scott struggle next to Ethan and support his hero, because that's what you do with friends. The friendships in these books are ridiculously well written, and Scott and Ethan might be my favorite friends. They both went through some trouble and they came out the better for it, and they're still together.
This book is very much like the others: it's so hard to sit by while Scott messes up his life. You want to reach through the pages and shake him awake, to tell him that there are other women out there, to tell him that he should probably get his life together. His story is so romantic and so uplifting, but so, so very sad at the same time. He wants to get all he wants, but at what cost? And does that cost even matter to him?
I know I say this every time, but this is definitely my favorite book of the series (until the next one, or until I reread all the others).

Author Bio:
Charlie M Matthews is a hopeless romantic, lost in her own
world of fairytales and adventures. A lover of art and painting, she'd happily
hang up her everyday clothes in exchange for a paint smudged shirt. In the
confines of her attic room, she is able to create a world that is unlike no
other. Mixing fantasy and fiction to generate a piece of work that she could
lose herself in.
Charlie is a mum of three, living on the outskirts of
Oxfordshire. Born and raised in Reading, she switched the bright lights and
traffic jams for a quiet life in the sticks a little over 5 years ago. Between
school runs and generally just being a mum, you'll most likely find Charlie at
the local hair spa. Flipping through magazines sporting the latest colour
craze, or mixing colours and arranging up-do's, sparking her creative side.
With her wild imagination and passion for reading, Charlie
stumbled upon a new love.
Writing...
What started as a distraction from the crazy thing that is
'life', soon became all too real. She no longer dreamt, about the day her words
would be published for all to see because that day was finally happening.
