Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne, 443 pages

Reyna is one of the queen's personal guards, and after being stabbed one time too many, she decides to take up her girlfriend's half-serious proposal to move to the middle of nowhere and start a teashop. There are, of course, some complicating factors: Reyna's girlfriend, Kianthe, is the Arcandor, the greatest mage in all the land and leader of the magical guild that handles all things magical, so she can't really leave that responsibility behind. Oh, and the queen doesn't take abandonment very well (hence the "treason" in the title). But hey, a teashop with lots of books is what's needed, and that's what Reyna and Kianthe set out to build.

I truly love the recent spate of uber-cozy fantasy titles (like Legends & Lattes, The House in the Cerulean Sea, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches) and this is an excellent addition to that subgenre. I can't wait to read the sequel!
