this was an amazing addition to this series! I love the characters and getting to see more of them! i was entranced from the very start of this book to the very end. this series is amazing i will for sure be reomending it to anyone who will listen!

Although I enjoyed this book overall, it did feel slow. The first book was better, this sequel falls flat in comparison. The romance felt relatively unconvincing and overall could have been told in a different, more interesting way.

This is a great series, with fun characters.
And there are pirates and crochet, what more do you want :D
I also love this narrator for this series.

A fun continuation to Reyna and Kianthe's story full of adventure, danger, and romance.

While this book is set mostly on ships setting sail it still has that cozy feeling the first book had. It highlights how well Reyna and Kianthe work together and how their bond and respect for one another only grows stronger. There's much more adventure as the two set out to get the dragon eggs back to their rightful place to protect their town. This book introduces Serina, a Peter Pan - esque pirate and her childhood friend Bobbie, who just happens to be the constable tasked with capturing the pirate. Reyna and Kianthe quickly see a spark between the two and decide to do some meddling in not only the mission of capturing Serena but also the relationship between Serena and Bobbie.

Like the first book there's a lot of humor - of course, plenty of corny jokes and puns especially. Thorne's writing is easy to fly through and keeps you engaged with each chapter. The magic and fantasy of the world sucks you in and there's PIRATES! And like the first audiobook, Jessica Threet does a phenomenal job narrating between the different characters and making me feel like I'm watching the scenes unfold right before my eyes.

Thank you Macmillan Audio for providing this audiobook for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Rebecca Thorne is writing some of the best cozy fantasies today, They are so enjoyable to read and I always have a fun time. I was really excited for A Pirate's Life for Tea because I have always been such a pirate gal. Rebecca did justice to the story and the genre.

Between dragons, mages, and swordplay, I didn’t think the world could get more fun, but Rebecca had me from the dedication… Thank you for double the lesbians! Dreggs, Serina, and Bobbi were such a fun addition to the world!

The introduction of Ponder was amazing, and I’m so excited to see her grow up!

I truly did miss Tawney in this story but loved exploring more of the world! Adding in swashbuckling hijinx and adventure was such a fun way for Rebecca to navigate her story through real themes of greed, class divide, and out of touch rulers.

The audiobook narrator really continues to make the story too! I love Reyna’s Rebecca Michaelson-esque accent, Kianthe’s puns, all the little interactions in town. Her characterization of every character in the story just added to the storytelling. I felt immersed and completely entertained!

I adored book one, but I just cannot connect with the second book. I have tried numerous times, but I keep being sidetracked and not engaged. I had to slog through the book and will probably never re-read it, unlike the other books in the series. Maybe it's the addition of another couple. I didn't believe their love story.

I love being back in this world. Kianthe and Reyna are searching for the stolen dragon eggs before the dragons destroy their town.
When they get to a town to get more information, they are forced into helping find a pirate. But it's not as simple as that.
Bobbie wants to find serina and convince her to give up pirating life.
There are so many twists and turns. I loved learning more about the world and the under story of who took the dragons eggs and how to stop Diarn.
This is of of my favorite cozy fantasy series.

I have been wanting to get into a cozy fantasy series, and I have finally found one that hooked me from the first book! I loved this second book just as much as the first. It was a great continuation of the stories and the characters. I am looking forward to getting to the third book, and I am thrilled to see there is a fourth one on the way! I highly recommend this series!

Thank you to the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

What a delightful sequel! Kianthe and Reyna are couple goals, and I loved reading the next part of their adventure. The puns were especially solid.

I DNF’d at 50%
Thank you to the publisher for the ALC.

I tried with this one. I was so excited with it too. But it was so heartbreaking to admit that by halfway through I was bored to tears. I didn’t give care for any of the characters. I was expecting so much more from this, but it just felt like filler with blips of cool things. It’s not cozy, it’s just boring. This one wasn’t for me. I spent three months trying to get back to it.

A beautifully crafted sequel. This book was just a lovely continuation and I can’t wait for the next books in the series!

This book was amazing. You really were able to explore more of the realm which I really appreciated. It was also really cool that you could just jump right into the story with minimal if any knowledge about the story thus far. I hope she keeps up the good work!

4 ⭐️

A Pirate's Life for Tea was a wonderful sequel to Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. We were introduced to new characters that only added to the wonderful dynamic of the cast. We have dragons, we have pirates, tea and some romance. The banter and the writing were my favorite parts in the first book, and I'm so glad we got more of it in this book. This is a perfect, cozy, and fun story.

I need to stop requesting these.
Although I love the cozy and cozy adjacent genre, something about this authors overall stories I just do not click with.
I find them boring and repetitive of other work.

Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this audio book.

This was a fun listen, with likable characters and enough action and romance to keep it flowing. The narrator did a good job.

"To the people who gave me one-star reviews because the first book "had lesbians." I doubled the lesbians in this one. Just for you." YASSSSSS!!!!!

I love Kianthe and Reyna! I love the adventures they go on. Even though there is a large overall plot to the series that has a grand scope, these books are so cozy and fun! Yes, there is political intrigue, magic, dragons, and pirates; but all of that epicness is in the background. This series focuses on the relationship of the main characters and their friendships with minor characters.

I cannot wait to continue with this series and see what happens next! I will recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, cozy read.

I procrastinating reading the sequel for a long time not thinking it could possibly stand up to the first book, but it absolutely did, I loved every second of this story, I was worried we were going to see a lot less of Reyna and Kianthe than I wanted, but while we did get two new points of view, the story was still centered on Reyna and Kianthe and their growing love story - also the dedication that she doubled the lesbians for the haters is top tier

I loved listening to the continued adventures of Reyna and Kianthe. The narrator did a wonderful job telling the story making me not wanting the story to end.

Again Rebecca Thorne touch my heart, my too favorite lesbian sailing for adventure beyond some piratea life, get it!
Following their journey and discovering new characters. You don't need a reaon to read this but if you really need... Pirate, adventure, tea, conspiratea, a little bit of spice, new friends and new love. There, do you need more? I don't think so let's go!
