Everything Rebecca Thorne does is magic. This was such an amazing continuation of this fantastic storyline and characters! I highly recommend! Thank you to Netgalley for this eARC!

Yes Yes YES! I absolutely love this series! Sad there's only one book left, but good things must come to an end! This was such an electric addition to the series! I'm excited to see what the last book brings us. I just love these characters and I love their relationship. I absolutely love recommending this series to customers!

cozy and wonderful - I didn't super love this series at the start, but with every book, Rebecca Thorne is stepping up her game. I also appreciate the level of action mixed in with her cozies!

I'm so happy to see Reyna and Kianthe back in Tawney! This is more cozy fantasy than the second in the series, but there's still a sense of adventure. The pacing slows a little bit, and Kianthe's remarks about Tessa's asexuality feel out-of-place, but otherwise I really enjoyed this (especially the second half). The nasty cliffhanger worked well in making me immediately pick up the last book in the series.

This is the third book in Thorne's "Tomes and Tea" series and it is a good one.

We get to see Kianthe and Reyna navigating high level politics, all while in the last stages of planning a wedding. I loved this book, it's sweet and really moves the overall story of the series along.

Recommended for mid-teens and up, if you're a fan of "The Princess Bride", you'll probably like this series too! Plus, griffins and dragons!

Book three of the Times and Tea series was an absolute delight! Kianthe and Reyna are stars with a wonderful ensemble of supporting cast to bring their world to life! What’s a cozy fantasy without some griffins and a baby dragon?

The third book has everything readers want in it--heart, humor, a bit of higher stakes, and best of all, a wedding. The stakes felt a little higher in this one with the coup happening, but it still kept it's cosy feel. A welcome addition to the series. I can't wait to see how it all ends.

This is a cute, light, fun fantasy series that I am very much enjoying. I mentioned this book on EarlyWord GalleyChat in February along with the next book "Alchemy and a Cup of Tea," which I also enjoyed, but I think I forgot to vote for this one for LibraryReads. I'll try to be more conscientious about "Alchemy" which I just got from Edelweiss.

Thank you Tor, Macmillan Audio, and Netgalley for the ARC.

This series has my whole heart. This book in particular had scenes that made me cry and laugh harder than any of the previous ones. The intimacy between Kianthe and Reyna, the growth of Kianthe's mom, the plotting? All of it was incredible. I appreciate the stakes this book had as well, as it shows how hard we have to fight to keep our peace. I am a little sad that we may be saying goodbye to the bookshop, and I am so glad I have the arc for the next book because that cliffhanger? I appreciated getting to see all of our side characters in this one and them interacting together.

I am not ready to say goodbye to these characters yet.

Continually grateful to TOR who continues to provide me ARCs of this series via Netgalley.

Unlike the previous books, I didn't like this one as much as the first two. It still continues to be a medium-low stakes series, but to me, overthrowing a Monarchy from a woman who's been depicted as cruel and controlling shouldn't be accomplished so easily. And it was accomplished easily, all things considered. I assumed that there would be more political intrigue, but instead the story was tied far more around the wedding.

Two new characters joined the cast, having been introduced in the epilogue of the previous book. Tessalyn and James, like all of Thorne's characters, are easy to like and interesting. Thorne also continues to expand her queer representation, as Tessalyn is asexual. I was mildly annoyed that the character had to respond to an insensitive question with a defensive answer instead of shooting it down. None of the other characters have had to defend their orientation in the same way. It's not a big thing, it's just something that stood out to me.

Overall though, the book is a good addition to the series, the characters are still relatable and enjoyable, and I am still holding out for a story more focused on Wylan and Feo. Given how the Epilogue went though. I'm betting the fourth book is going in a different direction.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

This installment was the best one yet! This storyline, the twists, the new characters, the expansion and betterment of the world just was everything to me! This book made me both excited and sad that the series is ending with the next book!

Rebecca Thorne has solidified herself as an autobuy author for me with this book, and the Tomes & Teas series will likely become my favorite cozy fantasy series and is now a comfort read for me.

I honestly have zero critiques of this series so far. This series is so deep and so fun simultaneously! Rebecca Thorne writes amazing romances, the relationships are top tiers, the world is immersive and it feels like a warm hug and hope for a world we can create (without all the magic and mythical creatures sadly).

I am absolutely stoked and saddened by the series ending, but I’ll always have Tawney to go back to!

Another great read in the Tomes and Tea series! I love these books and seeing what Reyna and Kianthe are up to - because it's always something. WE got to see a host of past characters as they are all coming together for the wedding and it was really fun to see everyone interact. Also, the plot twist/ending was fantastic, and I am so sad that this series is a quartet!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

I adore this series and Kianthe and Reyna to the ends of the earth! Their banter and camaraderie and love story are fantastic and the addition of baby dragons only makes it that much better. I can't wait to read the next installment!

Rebecca Thorne's series continues offering cozy fantasy joy with the third book about Kianthe and Reyna's upcoming weddings.

3.5 stars. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley. Review based on final copy. All opinions are my own.
After my mixed experience with the prior book, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read Tea You at the Altar, despite obtaining an ARC. However, I decided, why not give it another chance? And while this was better, I find myself once again questioning if I’m the right reader for this series, or if I went in with the wrong expectations.
I did appreciate the focus solely on Kianthe and Reyna again. While I have some issues with the character development (or lack thereof), I infinitely prefer them to the other two POV characters in the last book, who ended up sapping up so much page time. And while I do question whether Kianthe and Reyna’s wedding really merited a book-length affair, it is nice to see these two still going strong.
And there’s a lot in the external plot department to keep things from getting boring, so while the last book was a slog, this one was a breeze to get through. The wedding hijinks, including interference from Kianthe’s parents, are a lot of fun, and the light politics was pretty cool too.
But all this comes back to expectations. And in some ways, it’s not entirely the book’s fault; romantasy is such a rough, new category, with some claiming it’s just fantasy romance reskinned for BookTok, while others say it’s fantasy with a romantic subplot (how strong the subplot is varies). And this one leans much more toward the latter, and I feel like it suffers for that at times. One thing I come to romance for is emotional growth and romantic development, and once again, this book felt so busy with other things, it just didn’t do that. And what was really at stake romantically, anyway? They’re literally about to get married. There’s an attempt to bring conflict to their dynamic, but it just feels like beating a dead horse and dragging things out needlessly.
Perhaps it’s time to admit this is one of the cozy fantasies that just did not work for me, at least not past the novelty of the first book. But I can see why they work for other readers who may not have the same baggage I do with both the “cozy fantasy” and “romantasy” categories, and would recommend this to readers who more avidly enjoy them, especially if you’ve enjoyed the series thus far.

This whole series are just the perfect cozy fantasy books! The start of this one was a bit slow, and it took me a while to get pulled in, but the payoff was worth it! I even cried a few times, which I love when a book can make me do. I just love Reyna and Kianthe so much!

4.5

So happy to be back in this world and with this couple. This continues from where book 2 left off and Kianthe and Reyna are ready to get married, but it can't be that easy for them. I think this may be my favorite in the series, but I love them all, so much. It feels like this could end their story, but there is another one coming. So I'm very excited to get more of their story.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Libro.fm's ALC program for eARCS and eALC of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Tea You at the Altar by Rebecca Thorne is a delightful blend of romance, humor, and heartwarming moments. The story follows two characters navigating a whirlwind of emotions as they prepare for a wedding with unexpected twists. Thorne’s writing is witty and engaging, with strong character development and a light, fun tone that keeps readers hooked. The charming setting and delightful chemistry between the leads make this a perfect read for fans of romantic comedies. It's an enjoyable and feel-good story that delivers plenty of heart and humor.

This was a delightful continuation of this series. The characters and plot continue to be beautifully written and richly imagined. I look forward to the final book in the series!
