The pacing got really weird at the end? Overall a fun read, although I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the earlier books in this series.

This book was cute like the others in the series, but pacing was an issue. For example, the female romantic lead in this, Cherry, was assumed dead in previous books. There was a plausible reason why she didn't put together that her sudden husband knew her sister for much of the book, but I feel like after she revealed she lived in Boohail it would've been reasonable to go back right away??

Much like the rest of the Mead Mishaps books, That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human is giving you exactly what it says it will (shifter romance and humor), no more, no less. It's an enjoyable, adventurous, saucy read giving just the right amount of character cameos from the previous books to keep the cozy/ familiar vibes coming (yay for Cherry being alive, yay for more Alexis content).

I will say for those that normally skip authors notes and launch themselves into a book, that early on there is a significant amount of dubious consent (relating to smelly drugged tea and misunderstandings) which is personally not my favorite thing. The content warnings supplied in the book were enough to prepare me to expect it, so it didn't ruin the book for me and that's why I personally love that all of Lemmigs books come with content warnings. The rest of the book does rely on Cherry and Dante's bond being formed in that moment of dub con, but the remainder of the book does include enthusiastic consent, so it is worth the read if you can get past that bit.

Overall the book is a great blend of humor, fantasy, and romance. If you enjoyed the other two books in this series, this will absolutely be your cup of (hopefully not smelly) tea.
