Favorite Quote: Live long enough, you realize some folks can be handed a problem and some tools, and they’ll sort it out. And I never think twice about hiring that sort of fellow.

Story Synopsis: Viv finally retired from a couple of decades of being a sword-for-hire. With her hard-earned coin (and a stone of fortune she collected from her last bounty), she sets out to start the first coffee shop in a town. With the stone to guide her, she manages to find a carpenter, a barista, and some other local friendly faces to help her convert a former livery into a thriving coffee shop. However, one of her former coworkers shows up seeking the stone for his own gain. Viv must determine what she’s willing to sacrifice for the stone or for her new life as a business woman.

Why does this book beguile? HUG IN BOOK FORM!!!!! Legends & Lattes is all things sweet and pure. Viv is delightful - a teddy bear of an orc and you constantly root for her success. She manages to find good friends as she starts a new life from nothing in a new city with no friends, family, or acquaintances. Legends & Lattes is as inspirational as it is wholesome. If you’re looking for a sweet, soft fantasy novel, this will satisfy that craving.
