New book. I'm calling it: "Demon Daddies Pay My Mortgage." It's about a cartographer trying to pay off her family farm, only to find a magic ring on the property that marks her as the next demon empress--which naturally means 5 sexy demons have to protect her until the spell is broken. >.>

Book cover for the paperback edition of Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne:

Blurb:

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 that boasts more dragons than people, and open the shop of their dreams.

Grade A #AudioBookReview: Alchemy and a Cup of Tea by Rebecca Thorne

My Review: The story of Tomes and Tea could have been wrapped up at the end of the previous book, Tea You at the Altar. After all, the traditional ending of romances has always been the wedding - and the bedding that follows. But Reyna and Kianthe anticipated that long ago, because their world is not ours and in any case, our world has changed.
