Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

If you love Kianthe and Reyna, this is the wedding you have been waiting for—baby dragon mayhem, meddling in-laws, and a secret rebellion squeezed between cake tastings.

Synopsis

The Princess Bride meets Travis Baldree in Tea You at the Altar, the third cosy fantasy in Rebecca Thorne's bestselling Tomes & Tea series. Our sapphic adventurers must navigate the ultimate maelstrom – their own wedding! Kianthe and Reyna are ready to finally walk down the aisle, and in just seven days their wedding of a wifetime will become a reality. There's still so much to do but, like all best-laid plans, everything seems to be going awry. Their baby dragons are causing mayhem in the town of Tawney, and Kianthe’s uptight parents have invited themselves to the wedding. Yet, worst of all, Reyna has become embroiled in a secret plot to overthrow Queen Tilaine. The world seems against them – and how are they going to live long enough to say ‘I do’?

At a Glance

The Tomes and Tea girlies are getting MARRIED and it is exactly the warm hug you need. Yes there is political intrigue and yes baby dragons are destroying everything, but the real plot is two women who already chose each other choosing each other all over again. Ends on a cliffhanger—book 4 (Alchemy and a Cup of Tea) wraps the quartet. Peak comfort fantasy with Jessica Threet narrating the audiobook.
