Bonded by Tea and Tarot: A Steamy Small Town Why Choose Romance

by Aura Frost

She’s a witchy omega with an independent streak. They’re desperate to be hers.

Siobhan is a content creator who has taken care of herself for as long as she can remember. Her freedom means everything, yet there’s that pesky part of her that longs to be cared for. Then the universe drops a sexy beta and two scent-matched alphas into her life.

Aury, the confident, graceful beta she’s been crushing on for two years.
Jayce, the gruff alpha who just wants her to stay hydrated.
And Hayden, the quiet alpha paramedic she can’t stop thinking about.

All they want is to belong to her, but Siobhan isn’t sure she can handle a possessive pack–especially when it comes to collaborating with other witches. When they prove that they don’t want to run her life and are more than happy to let her shine, she’s willing to take a leap of faith and trust them.

None of them notice the nefarious dealings of a rival witch until it’s nearly too late.


Bonded by Tea and Tarot is a standalone queer polyam / why choose omegaverse, small town romance intended for mature readers. It's full of witchy rituals, bursting with sweet and spicy moments, and features plenty of knotting and swoony alphas. Everyone is with everyone - HEA guaranteed!

Bonded by Tea and Tarot: A Steamy Small Town Why Choose Romance (Omega Gardening Club Book 2)
by Aura Frost

Overall: 5🌟
Spice: 5🌶️🥵

Review: Ahhh!!! I love this book so much! I find it very cute! And I just love how Siobhan, our FMC really captures my attention from the start as an reader and as a fellow lover of Crystals and Tarot. I've learned a little of spell ingredients in this book and love how she uses her crystals for protection and Tarot for guidance🤭

Story wise it is just very splendid and well written, love how the alphas especially Hayden is very protective of them, of their pack and Jayce's brooding affections, finding courting ways that he knows what his omega and beta would like.

Siobhan is an independent witchy omega who's freedom means everything to her that when two scent-matched alphas and Aury, the charming beta who she crushes on, comes together, the alphas really showed her and Aury how good they can be together as an pack while still being so in loved with one another just makes my heart warm.

Overall, it was just such an good reading, really well done, loved it so much, especially since Aura is an new author to me and I didn't read the first book before. Really loved the mysterious and tension vibes in between the romance for the rivalry witch content creator, makes it more anticipating and captivating me as an reader's attention. Gosh, just finishing the review writing makes me want to re-read it again! Loved how the alphas never left out Aury, instead they found love and the MM in this book is Mmm! 🫦🥵 So good!

So if you love a good MM and they also focus a lot on the FMC, witchy tarot vibes, omegaverse, protective alphas, an sexy beta and love is love, be sure to check this book out!

Finished on somewhere between 29 to 31 July.

Oh! Ps: I almost forgot, thank you Aura for the wonderful e-ARC, really loved it, thank you so much!🫶

ARC review advanced copy provided by author

I don’t know how Aura did it again but I somehow loved Tea & Tarot even more than Lavender (which is still one of my favorite reads of the year). I loved these characters so much, I’m beyond obsessed that everyone kisses everyone (and more…😉🥵) as always with Aura’s queer-normative worlds.

Siobhan(she/her) was a fantastic omega, she was strong willed and soft all the same time. She had a hard time trusting the others to let her be herself while still being in her life but even with that fear she still opened herself to the pack. I loved that she was witchy, it was a blast reading a character that resembles so many people in my life.

Jay(he/him) and Hayden(they/he) were some of my favorite alphas I’ve read in a hot minute, they were attentive without being overbearing and they apologized and corrected their behavior/actions immediately when Siobhan was uncomfortable.

Aury(he/him) was the absolute sweetest and had me WHEEZING with his reactions, especially with the pumpkin pie (💦🥧).
Bunny is the most adorable kitty and I love how she immediately jumped ship to Siobhan the second she met her.

This series just keeps getting better and better, I can’t wait to see what happens next! And if you read the epilogue, you’ll see which of the friends is up next to meet their pack (you may have even already met one of their alphas in this book😉).

I was so excited to receive an ARC for this book because I absolutely adored the first book in the series, and it did not disappoint!
This was such a lovely, cozy read with wholesome small-town vibes, immaculate spice, and characters that were impossible not to love. The FMC is such an independent baddie, and I was obsessed with the witchy content creator element, it made her feel so unique and fun.
And the MMCs... where do I even begin? We love a beta hero with an adorable black cat, a dom he/they paramedic with slutty glasses (truly, could you ask for anything more?), and the shy construction worker whose love language is gift giving. Also, a man with freckles? Immediate yes. I couldn't stop picturing him as Connor Storrie the entire time, and honestly, it only made me love him more.
This book struck the perfect balance between plot and spice. The romance felt natural, the chemistry was incredible, and there was so much fluffy, heartwarming content mixed in with the steam. It was just such an easy, comforting read that had me smiling the whole way through.
If you're looking for a cozy, spicy small-town romance with lovable characters, fantastic chemistry, and a healthy dose of witchy vibes, I can't recommend this one enough!

[DarcieReadsALot · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahhh, what a cozy, warm and fuzzy read! The slow burn tension going on this book with the flirting and the yearning was delicious! The alphas fighting their instincts to provide unerring support to Siobhan was so endearing and I fell for Hayden and Jayce right away! Aury was an absolute cutie and don’t get me started on his relationship with Bunny!

The courting and the romantic gestures were on point and navigating a new pack relationship had some realistic bumps along the way. The story is focused on the present and completely bypassed any sort of backstory for the characters to inform on their insecurities or motivations. We get a small snippet of history for Hayden and Aury, but nothing for Jayce or even Siobhan herself, with the exception of one statement made in passing. Nothing about how Hayden and Jayce met. If the characters had been more built out as unique individuals with backstories that explain their actions and emotions, I probably would’ve been able to give it another star.

That said, however, if you love sweet, low angst omegaverse romances with scent matches and spicy heat, you’re going to really enjoy Bonded by Tea and Tarot!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A cozy, spicy omegaverse that completely charmed me.

This book was everything I wanted from an omegaverse romance. Instead of relying only on heat and instinct, it built a genuinely emotional love story around found family, healing, and characters who actually communicate. Siobhan was impossible not to root for. Independent, witchy, and wonderfully flawed. Meanwhile Aury completely stole my heart with his quiet kindness, patience, and unwavering devotion. Their chemistry starts with longing and awkward tension before exploding into some incredibly satisfying spicy moments.

I also loved the cozy atmosphere. Tarot, tea, community gardens, tai chi, and a queer-normative world made this feel warm and comforting even as the romance heated up. The scent matching, pack dynamics, and omegaverse elements felt fresh without being overwhelming, making it easy to sink into the world.

If you're looking for an omegaverse that's equal parts sweet, emotional, funny, and seriously spicy then this is an easy five-star read. I can't wait to return to this world.

This was my first book by Aura and I absolutely LOVED it!! The characters were so well written and their relationships had a natural evolvement with trust, self doubt, courting, protection and love. It just felt so authentic. The storyline was playful and took us through the everyday challenges these characters went through and their solutions.

I do have to say I may not have pumpkin pie this year at Thanksgiving, iykyk. 🤣

If you like omegaverse books or have read why choose but not ventured into omegaverse then this is where you need to start!

Aura, I wish I could say I am glad I found you, but will say I am so thankful you found me and let me emerge myself in your world. Thank you so much for my copy and these are my honest opinions.

By Aura Frost

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Omg this book was so fun!
I was laughing so much. I love the way Siobhan was written, full of sass and independence, always keeping her Alphas Hayden and Jayce and Beta Aury on their toes.

The first scene with them all together was a wild ride, hot, steamy, and hilarious.
I loved the way they asked her to be theirs. It was so cute and thoughtful.

I gotta say this is my favorite book so far in the series.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a cute fun read! I love an omegaverse romance they are always so warm and cozy.

I loved all the characters and they were the cutest thing!

I really enjoyed meeting Hayden, Jayce and Aury they were so great and caring as well as caring for eachother.

The spice was also sooo good! If you love some MM in your why choose then this is for you.

Thank you to Aura for the arc opportunity!

I think I've found one of my new favorite omegaverse series! This book was absolutely incredible and so hard to put down. The characters were incredibly well done, the plot and story were engaging and entertaining, and the writing itself was amazing. I loved every single second of this story and I cant wait to go back and read more from this author!

Cozy and Sweet Omegaverse with Witchy vibes!

This was such a sweet read and I loved all the characters especially Aury! Usually I prefer some angst in my omegaverse reads but this was such a good palette cleanser. I recommend it if you’re looking for a comfy cozy read.

However, I do wish we found out what the heck Helen was up to!

[S.J Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the whole entire vibe of Tea and Tarot's. Not to mention the life Aura brought to each charter and how great the storyline is. A beautiful read and god good! I honestly cant rave enough about Aura Frost and how great Tea and Tarot’s is.
