A Taste of Tea and Tenderness ~ Review

 

A Taste of Tea and Tenderness 

The Enchanting Confections
By Gabrielle Landi

Narrated by Jess Moran

This is a fun and delightful Thumbelina retelling and no magic was involved. Linnea has been left in charge of the Cozy Cat Cafe when her employer is away. Handling everything on her own–no problem. Well, maybe a tad overwhelming, especially since she volunteered to bake muffins and tarts for the local school fundraiser. But how could she say no when Conrad the new schoolteacher asked.

Conrad and Linnea spend much of the time wondering if the other may have feelings for the other, though it is obvious to almost everyone that they do. It's those who aren't in the almost category who complicate things for them.

Thing was a cute and enjoyable story that I enjoyed in audio format. It was a quick and enjoyable listen that was well presented by the narrator, Jess Moran. The total run time is less than three hours and was a great way to pass an afternoon.

About the Book:

A pinch of fake dating, a dash of fundraiser mayhem, and a love that rises when their future is on the line.

Running the Cozy Cat Café while its owner is away would have been enough work, but apprentice Linnea added another complication: catering the local school’s fundraiser. Surviving the week seems debatable…until the quiet schoolteacher she might be falling for offers to help her. Faking a relationship to avoid one of his students is only the icing on the cinnamon roll.

Conrad hasn’t been able to take his eyes off Linnea since he first saw her, and the fact that she’s on her own with the cafe for a week seems like the perfect opportunity to show her how much he cares. But with more suitors vying for her hand, an encounter with a hive of bees gone wrong, and clingy students that he can’t shake, proving that he’s the man for her is turning out to be more work than he expected.

Between batches of pastries and mugs of tea, can Conrad and Linnea's fake relationship rise to the occasion, or will they both end up burned?

A Taste of Tea and Tenderness, a no spice fairy tale retelling of Thumbelina, is a standalone novella, complete with tropes such as fake dating, he falls first, and wound tending. It is part of The Enchanting Confections series, a collection of clean and cozy stories guaranteed to delight your sweet tooth. Perfect for fans of whimsical fairytale romance, cozy Hallmark vibes, and sweet & swoony heroes.
