Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) HTML: 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. A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. .… (more)

Just added a cozy fantasy shelf, and I hope more authors contribute to this new genre. I like the importance of adventure, magic, modern values, relationships, without too much violence or sex. (

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT.

This may be my new favorite genre. This is sweet, homey, comforting and funny. The characters are well developed, the setting is engaging and light, and the stakes are just high enough to keep you reading past bedtime. What a hug of a book (

I went into this book thinking it was a more cozy read. There is conflict spread throughout and I didn't think there was enough focus on the bookshop for it to be considered a cozy read.

I liked the relationship between Kianthe and Reyna. I think the dynamic between them was adorable and I liked watching how they interacted with each other in different scenarios.

Not exactly a "read in one sitting" book for me, but it was still entertaining. (

'Can't Spell Treason Without Tea' is a well-written story about a trope that, until I read it, I didn't realize that I was interested in. As a fledging author myself, I love her writing style, and I plan on keeping her Tomes & Tea stories on my bookshelf—well, except for lending them out on occasion.

The characters and their developing relationship seem real, and I enjoyed how she described the different types of magic in the story. Her bits about the dragons brought them to life for me.

So, if you are interested in a cozy fantasy steeped with love, try this one. (
