Griff Reads | Cozy fantasy with a sapphic romance and DRAGONS 🐉✨ #fantasybooktube #fantasybooks #books @GriffReads | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
As soon as I heard this book being recommended for fans of Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree, I had a feeling it would be my kind of thing!
The story follows two main characters, a royal guard and a powerful mage, who run away together to start a teashop (that's also a bookshop).
I loved the cosy, small town setting and how this follows a couple who are already in an established relationship.
I love a punny book title and I'm interested to pick up the sequel (A Pirate's Life For Tea 🦜) when it's released ✨
