Oh it’s a Pirates Life for Tea…I loved this book. From the love story of our two intrepid heroes, to the two new dynamic characters. If you enjoyed the first one you will enjoy this one. It’s a cozy romance with some action and a scooch of spice and many puns. I can’t wait for the third book!

A Pirate’s Life for Tea is the second book in the Tomes and Tea series. While it still falls in the cozy category, I felt that this one pushed the boundaries of the cozy genre more than the first with the increased action. I did love that this installment gave us a new couple to root for while introducing some truly fabulous pirates. The characters alone are enough for me to recommend this book. I love that Reyna and Kianthe create lasting friendships wherever they go. Much like the first book, A Pirate’s Life for Tea also had excellent banter and puns. The main issue I had with this one was that it felt longer than necessary resulting in the story dragging at certain points. I combo eyeball and audiobook read this one. I will say I found myself gravitating more towards the audiobook because Jessica Threet’s narration is so good. Threet adds to the overall cozy vibe while simultaneously delivering puns for maximum enjoyment. Overall, I would highly recommend this book/series, and I can’t wait for the next one.

I adored this story just as much as I adored it when it was first indie published. I will say I did notice the chapter starts in each chapter were much louder than the first books narration which did tend to hurt my ears a little bit. The first book it was still cheery sound but had the subtleness to it book two's feels cheery but in exclaim. I don't know if it was intential, but as a reader with more sensitive ears it did make the listening experience not as great.

Still a phenomal story.
