Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

Tomes & Tea, Book 1

De: Rebecca Thorne

Narrado por: Jessica Threet

“The sapphic romance is brought to the forefront through Jessica Threet’s emotional depth and compelling lilt.”—Booklist

In the tradition of Legends & Lattes, comes a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen’s private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after…if only the world would let them.

All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters… all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.

But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibility–all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams.

What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other… and the world.

Slow moving

So much time is spent on unnecessary background info. The story line is cute, not highly exciting, or captivating, and definitely not like Legends and Lattes. But it is cute and has some promise. Hopefully the second book is better.

Lighthearted and Fun

love the whole bookstore in a fantasy land theme. Hope more come out soon

Perfectly Punny! A Sapphic Success

I first read this a year ago, back when it was self published, and desperately wanted an audiobook version for transit times. This doesn’t disappoint! It’s an adorable romance, with cozy escapism spice with dollops of adventure. The leading ladies are so cute together and have a very authentic dynamic. Plus! One of them is always cracking puns ❤️

loved the book and love the audio even more

I have been waiting, hoping this would made into audio and once I saw it I snapped it up. I really wanted lori prince to narrate as she does humor reads well but the narrator of this one did amazing!!!
I loved the accents and the way she read both mains and the supporting characters. this will be one that will be listened to often.
cant wait for the next one. I already preordered!!!

Cute and Cozy

This book wasn't as much like Legends and Lattes as I thought it would be based off other reviews, but it was still cute. It has interesting characters and storyline, but you'll have to wait until book 2 to find out what happens.
