Tempests & Tea Leaves (The Charmed Leaf Legacy Book 1)

Cute, fun fantasy romance with Pride and Prejudice vibes

"This book is such a fun, cute read, especially for fans of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. There is a fun, unique fae world setting, swoony moments with the romance, and some great characters as well! Although I felt like the FMC took a bit longer than I liked to grow during the character arc as the MMC was showing noticeable growth, she did get there and had a very satisfying ending. Overall, it was a very good book and I look forward to reading more from this author! ["

Tempests & Tea Leaves

"Reader’s Notes: *Series or Connected Books?* 1st book of a series *Point Of View:* Iris & Jasvian (with the first chapter from a different point of view) *Any Cursing Or Possibly Offensive Language?* None! *Romance?* Yes! It is a slow burn romance with just kisses and hand touching/holding *Things To Know:* –it is mentioned that characters read the tea leaves at times Review: Oh My Goodness! I ADORED this book! Enemies to more is one of my top favorite tropes and this was phenomenal! I loved seeing how Iris & Jasvian met and kept inevitably crossing paths despite their mutual dislike of each other. And I loved seeing that dislike change over time until they fell for one another. Though that slow burn nearly wrenched my heart out! Outside of their romance, I also had so much fun getting to know various side characters, the magical tea shop, and how this fae world worked! For the tea shop specifically, I loved the liveliness of it as well as its owner/matchmaking matron. The way they worked in tandem and cared for each other and their potential matches was cute and very interesting to follow! And I loved getting to see the various powers/inclinations each of the fae characters had! Especially when it came to the way Iris’s developed further than she or her family could have ever imagined! 😍 I hope we’ll be revisiting so many of the characters (hopefully in their own stories) as well as the various events that took place! Summary: Iris Starspun is a half-human half-fae woman who was born magicless. She knows that most of society has deemed her as less due to her human heritage but couldn’t care less. All she cares about is her family. But when she suddenly manifests her magic – a power to fold paper into intricate shapes – her parents believe her to be their saving grace. All Iris will have to do is join fae society’s debut season and try to ensnare herself a wealthy husband to save the Starspuns from ruin. If only she hadn’t immediately made an enemy out of the most eligible bachelor – Lord Jasvian Rowanwood. Jasvian has the weight of the world on his shoulders trying to keep the family’s mines safe at all times. He has no time for frivolous magic displays or romantic notions. No matter how many of his family members try matching him to the women in society. All he wants is quiet so he can keep the family’s books in order in his lighter times. But that quiet is threatened when his mother renovates the ballroom below his home study and his grandmother forces him to share her study with her new apprentice – Lady Iris Starspun. A woman who hates him just as much as he does her. And when that tension threatens to break them, Jasvian never thought he’d contemplate more with anyone, let alone someone who is only half-fae… ["

Ultimate sweet & cozy read

"I absolutely loved this book. It was like a slice of fae life set in regency setting and rules. The characters and their emotions felt very real. It had me giggling and feeling butterflies from how sweet their relationship developed and even with the angst, I wasn’t sure how the characters would get through but it was resolved beautifully. This author most definitely knows how to create a scene and make you feel the emotions of the characters. Very enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to reading author’s other works. ["

Cozy romantasy with emotional dept

"This book was pure cozy magic. It made me want to quit my job and open a tea shop filled with herbs and spells. I loved the banter between the FMC and MMC—sharp, charming, and full of that spark that makes you root for them from the start. And just when I thought the story was settling in, it took a sharp turn I absolutely didn’t see coming. For a while, I honestly couldn't imagine how things would get back on track—but they did, and it made the resolution even more satisfying. The FMC’s magic is so inventive—clever, original, and unlike anything I’ve read before. That magical twist added such a fresh feel to the world. But what truly stayed with me was the heart of the story. Beneath the cozy fantasy and magical mishaps, this is a book about finding yourself—and having the courage to stay true to who you are, even when it means choosing a different path than everyone expects. One quote that really hit me was: “If you do not feel you belong anywhere, then you must make a place in which to belong.” That line alone is enough to make me recommend this book. If you love whimsical fantasy with warmth, wit, and real emotional depth, don’t miss this one. ["
