Can't Spell Treason Without Tea
Can't Spell Treason Without Tea: A Tomes and Tea Novel | Rebecca Thorne
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 manic 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 that boasts more dragons than people, and open the shop of their dreams.What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a crazed 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.

I wanted to like this, but it felt so similar to Legends and Lattes that I was having deja vu. I also found the romance cloying (I don‘t like mushy stuff very much). This book will surely work better for others!

This was such a cozy fantasy 🤗 Inspired by Legends & Lattes, this story touches on every booklover's dream: to run away and start a bookstore/tea shop. Reyna, tired of putting her life at risk every day as the Queen's guard, escapes with her girlfriend, the most powerful mage in the land, to an out of the way town to start their dream shop. It isn't long before their old lives find them, but with the support of new friends they face it together.

peanutnine This is the start of a series and the second just came out 😍 #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView 2mo

I want a bookstore with a magic girlfriend and a griffin. Is that too much to ask?

After loving Legends & Lattes, I had to read this cozy fantasy when I heard the author on TikTok saying she got one ⭐️ reviews due to (OMG!) lesbians being in it, apparently a surprise to those readers even though it clearly states it in the blurb. So, I had to give it a try. It‘s not quite L&L for me but overall is quite delightful & the author gives credit to Travis Baldree for inspiring her. Could have used a bit more editing for the number⬇️

DebinHawaii …of times a character “pinched”their brow or bridge of their nose & a few sentences like, “She offered a weighted pause, weighted with amusement.” Could we not have combined that? 🤔 But still a solid pick & if you like tea, books, fantasy, sapphic romance & taking a chance/starting over stories, this is a sweet & fun cozy read. Looking forward to book 2, out soon. Read during the #FabulousFebruaryReadathon (edited) 3mo
Andrew65 Great 👏👏👏 3mo

Okay, so if you love Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldtree as much as I do...you might want to read this next! It's being promoted as another cozy fantasy along the same vein as L&L and even though I'm only a little bit of the way through it, I'm already obsessed! 💕📚💕

emz711 Sounds great! 4mo
ozma.of.oz I loved this one! The sequel is coming out the end of this month! ❤️ 4mo
BethM Is a cozy fantasy like a cozy mystery? 4mo
Branwen @emz711 So far it's really great! 😀💕 @ozma.of.oz WAIT, REALLY?! 😱 OMG YES! @BethM Yes! It's exactly like that! Just like a regular fantasy story, but with the coziest of vibes! 😊📚💕 4mo

Reyna was once one of the private guards of a tyrannical & sadistic queen. Kianthe is the powerful mage who wants to be valued for more than her title and power. They run away to open a book & tea shop.

Pacing was fantastic! Danger & tension interspersed with cozy days in the shop. Reyna and Kianthe are a lovely couple, capable of communication even when fighting. World building wasn‘t quite as big as I would‘ve liked. But I loved it! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
