Holy fucking hearts.Did you just read that?!If you did, I need your advice.I met fallen angel princes; I met a Savage Duke; I met a Cheshire Cat.And remember—how could you possibly forget—I’m the fabled Alice from the prophecy.Just a twisted, dark version of the girl in Lewis Carroll’s old books.Except in those books, there was a happy ending.In those books, Alice wasn’t dating nine very … Alice wasn’t dating nine very different, very beautiful men.
But now that I’ve met the King of Hearts and the Mad Hatter, I’m not sure who the real bad guys are.
I’m the only one who can turn Underland back into Wonderland again.
But if I have a chance to escape the blood, the death, and the intrigue in this place, should I take it?
I’m Allison Liddell, and I’ve got a choice to make: stay here and fight the darkness, defeat the Anti-Alice, and survive the Torrid Tea Party … or run.
Tweedledee says I can change the world.
So if you’re reading this, will you help me decide what I should do?
I want to go home, but I can’t leave this place as broken as I found it, now can I?
ALLISON AND THE TORRID TEA PARTY (Book 2 of 3 in the “Harem of Hearts” series) — is a full-length reverse harem/new adult/dark romance novel, a gritty retelling of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. Don’t expect a children’s tale; these characters are nothing like their more innocent counterparts. This book contains: drugs, cursing, violence, sex … and love found in the darkest shadows.
THIS IS A COMPLETE SERIES

I am loving this series so much! I will say, ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!? I’m loving getting to know Allison and all of her guys. I’m loving all of their relationships. I do wish there were more spicy scenes with more than one guy at a time. But I cannot wait to finish this trilogy!
Well dang. This series is like no other. You can tell that C.M. worked hard on these books. Allison and the Torrid Tea Party is book two and it’s heating up. Definitely worth reading.
Oh My Gawd…my heart is still racing from that ending!! I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this series! Hands down one of the best and my absolute favorite! I’m completely obsessed! This story was amazing full of angst, emotion and steamy scenes! I can’t decide who is my favorite. Most definitely all of them! Although I have a serious soft spot for the king! Allison is such a awesome character. Read this series you will not be disappointed! Now off to read book 3. Thank you C.M. Stunich for this series
Enjoyable and entertaining
Let me start off by saying that this book had a lot going on. Allison was insufferable. Her whole attitude in general made me mad because she spends so much time throughout the book complaining about her home life. It was pretty frustrating her indecisiveness her wanting to go home, wanting to stay in Underland. Still I really enjoyed this book all because I can’t see no way out of the terrifying predicament in which Allison and her motley band of Underland mens have found themselves in. Once again this end on a cliffhanger so I can’t wait to see what else is in store for this series.
I love Alison as a character and that each of the men are so unique. The world building is phenomenal and the characters intriguing. Filled with plenty of actions and steam I can’t wait to see what happens next.
“Curiouser and fucking curiouser. ”
Fuck count
Fuck: 121
Fucks: 11
Fucked: 16
Fucking: 137
Well this book would have been a five star if it wasn’t for the excessive use of fuck in all it’s forms. Fucker and motherfucker were used but not enough to count.
Allison has an annoying habit of being in denial of being the Alice. We do find out who all nine of her guys are going to be even if she is in denial of who they are too.
I liked this one so much more than the first book. I still like Allison except for the denial part.
“Sometimes, our greatest fears are not our most obvious. Sometimes, our darkest terrors hide in plain sight.”
Allison struggles throughout the book on whether she wants to go back home or not.
More plot reveal is given in this book on who the bad guys are and who the good guys are.
The Knave of hearts turns out to be a woman and she is a rightful bitch. I hate her. She can choke on tarts for all I care.
I am going into the final book today. This left on a cliffhanger just like the first book and I need to know how this ends.
Oh wow what a phenomenal continuation from book 1! Gawd the guys keep getting hotter just saying…..just uggg hmmm Chesh and Lar and Rab and Tee and Dee and the Duke ok ok and the King oh so yummy and then throw March and the Hatter in there and oh man *swoon* don’t know which is my favorite, I wouldn’t be able to choose either. I love how Allison is coming into her own and not taking anyone’s crap, you go girl! I mean holy frickin cow my emotions are kind of scattered at the moment with that ending. I’m so glad I waited until book 3 was released before reading the rest of this series because my heart would not be able to take the wait. Dang this series is absolutely phenomenal!
I finished this book not five minutes ago, and I am actually breathless because of this book. I’m going to deal with the negatives first, because, frankly, there aren’t many, and I don’t actually see them as negatives, but some people might. 1. It did take awhile to get released, but I’m going to address that later, and it didn’t actually bother me. 2. There’s a cliffhanger. Having read it, there’s no chance in all of Underland that I wouldn’t have read this book now just to avoid a cliffhanger, but if you’re a wait-until-they’re-all-out-to-avoid-cliffhangers kind of reader, then you won’t want to read this now. If you ARE that kind of reader, I wish you the best of luck in staying away from this book until A3 comes out, because it’s one of the best books I’ve read this year. This book hooks you, draws you in, and you cannot put it down. I know some people complained because the author didn’t release it when she originally said, but this book is the exact reason why you don’t rush brilliance. Aside from being almost twice as long as most RH novels, it is a m.a.s.t.e.r.p.i.e.c.e. And it isn’t just one thing about it; it’s everything – the characters, the relationships, the world building, the action, the pace. All of it. It is an in-freaking-credible, enthralling story, and I am going to be suffering some serious book hangover from this. Like, I just want to go to sleep so I don’t have to think about the fact that I’ve finished A2 and now have to wait for book 3 now, because what?!? I will be rereading this book for days, because there’s no way to just easily move on from this book. THAT’S how good it is.
Holy epic Underlandness!!!
I just finished this book a few minutes ago, and I’m still speechless. Holy s***, this is an insanely epic and highly intense book. Just….wow. Seriously. I have so many emotions raging through me right now, it’s not even funny. That ending….oh my gosh that ending though!!
This twisted take on the standard Alice in Wonderland story is amazingly well crafted. You can tell that the author put an insane amount of time and effort into getting every action, every bit of dialogue just right. The characters are at times completely and frustratingly nonsensical, and others these sexy beasts that leave you panting for more.
It’s not funny just how much this book rocked my world, I freakin loved it!! Seriously, hearts in my people. Hearts in my freakin eyes.
