Synopsis:

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 throughly 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.  Togther they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams.

What follows is a cozy tale of mishap, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm's biggest temper tantrum.  

My Thoughts:

I am giving this book 4 stars, because I was intiruged that it took place around the time of dragons.  The rest of the story not so much.  It sounded like a bunch of  high school  students, dealing with high school drama.  I am not into fantasy books, or romance maybe that with why I feel the way I do about this.  

My rating is 4 stars
