Review:
Legends & Lattes is a cozy read that will make you want to pick up a good cup of coffee and a tasty treat each time you pick it up to read. Viv has spent her life as a bounty hunter, is ready to start fresh, and dreams of opening a coffee shop. Now that doesn’t seem weird to us, but no one knows what coffee is; tea, yes, but coffee, no. So Viv not only has to turn a livery into a coffee shop, she needs to convince those who patronize her shop that coffee is worth paying for. Soon she hires a succubus and an excellent sweet cook, and her dream is becoming a reality. Though tragedy will strike, and at times Viv thinks she is in over her head, she wins over the people, rebuilds, and can keep her dream alive. Wonderful tale, and I am eager to read the prequel soon.
Get ready to want to drink lots of coffee and some delicious snacks. Pick this one up for a delightful treat. Share on X
