"You asked for this, Rain. Let's go capture a pirate."
While searching for stolen dragon eggs, newly engaged couple Kianthe and Reyna find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a swashbuckling love story.
On one side is Serina, a failed farmer turned river pirate. Her booty? Wheat, grains, and the occasional jar of imported tea leaves. It's quite the embarrassment to Diarn Arlon, the powerful lord of the Nacean River, and he'll conscript anyone to bring her to justice. Especially Kianthe, the elemental mage who just crashed his party, and her somewhat-scary fiancée.
Begrudgingly, the couple joins forces with Bobbie, one of Arlon's constables--who happens to be Serina's childhood friend. Bobbie is determined to capture the pirate before anyone else, but it would be a lot easier if Serina didn't absolutely loathe her now.
As Kianthe and Reyna watch this relation-shipwreck from afar, it quickly becomes apparent that these disaster lesbians need all the help they can get. Luckily, matchmaking is Reyna's favorite past time. The dragon eggs may have to wait. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
"To the people who gave me one-star reviews because the first book 'had lesbians.' I doubled the lesbians in this one. Just for you."
I mean is there not a more perfect dedication? 😂 I think not!
If you have not seen this book in person, you are really missing out. It has the most beautiful orange sprayed edges and opening artwork that is to die for. I will treasure my copy of this book forever and it will be on my favorites shelf for life not just because of how beautiful the book is but also the story.
I really, really enjoyed Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea and couldn’t wait to be back together with Reyna amd Kianthe. If you haven’t read book one in the series yet, I highly recommend you do and then come back and finish reading this review!
I think this is one that you are really going to want to go into blind. Just look at the cover and then the beautiful art and know that you are heading to sea with a dynamic duo you will love that are going to set the scene of the perfect cozy, lovey pirate mystery! Like the first book, the story is very character driven (which is my favorite) with low stakes and swoony moments.
“Your opinion of yourself is the only one that matters.”
I am so excited for you to meet some new characters, Bobbie being my favorite, well, also Ponder. You will understand when you meet Ponder too!
This adventure was so fun to be a part of and I CAN’T wait to read the next book in the series!
Thanks to Tor for the book in exchange for an honest review. Purchase A Pirate's Life for Tea here.
