It’s the wedding of the wifetime and if that pun was worthy of a heartfelt groan then this third and second last book in the Tomes & Tea series is probably just what you need. Whilst I think you could read this one alone I would recommend reading the earlier novels  Can't Spell Treason Without Tea and A Pirate's Life for Tea as most of these characters have been introduced in these earlier novels. 

Our protagonists Kianthe and Reyna are working on making their wedding memorable and its not just the whole town that they have befriended, but the pirates, dragons, Queensguard, a lost heir, family and old friends.  

Can it still be considered cosy fantasy when the story will involve dethroning a queen? Also I hope the idea of a wedding sword catches on. 

Thoroughly enjoyable if you enjoyed the two books but it ends on a cliff hanger,
with the newly crowned queen Reyna Kidnapped
, for the final novel in the series Alchemy and a Cup of Tea due to be published later this year.
