Both a great book and a great job by the reader, highly enjoyable audio! This book labels itself cozy romance/fantasy, and does a great job at both. This didn't mean boring at all, there were certainly still problems to solve, but what made it cozy was really the fact that all the characters could be trusted. There were a very small number of known "bad guys", and the rest of the cast of characters, all the folk of Tawny, were sincere in their feelings and drives. I loved the pair of politicians in Tawny and their little rivalry, because it was clear that they both truly loved the town and want what's best for it, they just have different strengths to do that. They'll make a great pair some day! 
HOWEVER - I didn't actually know going on to this book that is was kicking off a series! So while the main problem is resolved by books end, the second big problem is left to be solved in a later book. Good thing I'll be happy to come back for more!
