I think this has to be my favorite book out of the series. I loved Cherry and Dante's dynamic so much! 

The adventure in this was so much fun! It was almost like Cherry had her own Pokédex with the Book of Beasts. 

I think one of my favorite parts was when

all of the demon men had their literal dick measuring contest with the book lmao.

Also

Rebecca being a demon was auch a funny twist! And also mildly horrifying because what do you mean the adorable fluff ball is turning people into zombies!?

I loved the return of the talking sword!

I seriously hope she gets her own book so she can get her own body and some mermaid booty.

The reunion with the family was also so sweet and had me absolutely sobbing. I love love loved that ending. 

Also not to be feral butttt

the THRONE scnene was absolutely everything.

I need a new Mead Mishaps book ASAP. Tbh I kind of want Cumin to end up with Dante's sister. Or for both of them to at least get their own story or novella! 

In conclusion I love Kimberly Lemming.

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??

this was such a fun installment to the mead mishaps series!! i swear kimberly's humor is just top-notch and i love how she intertwines it in this fantastical world she's created. i had a great time while reading and loved getting to know more about dante. i do wish we had a little more sister time between cherry and cinnamon because i just would have ate it up. overall a great read and i can't wait for the next book!

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming is the third book in the Mead Mishaps series and it's just as fun as the first two books in the series. 

This book is about Cherry, the long lost sister of Cinnamon, Cinnamon is the the main character from the first book. Cherry was abducted 5 years prior by something that lives in the lake on the edge of her small town, so the story opens up with her stuck in a tower. Cherry gets rescued by Dante, a dragon shifter who happens to be friends with the main characters of book one and book two. 

Cherry has been kidnapped once already, she doesn't feel like she can trust Dante because he happens to know the entity that kidnapped Cherry the first time! Cherry thinks that there's no way that Dante will aid her escape so she uses some local mushrooms to drug Dante. Dante, in his drugged state, bites Cherry and a dragon bite means that they're now formally (or informally) mated to one another. They then set off on a journey to get Cherry home BUT Cherry refuses to tell Dante directly where she's from, because she's afraid that he's not friendly after all. 

This story was romantic, funny, gory, surprising, and just down right entertaining! If you like paranormal romance, fantasy romance, humor, and smut, then this is for you!

The whole beginning of the story was messy, with the drugging and the no consensual biting. At one point Dante puts his face in  Cherry's crotch without permission because he thinks that's how to woo a human woman. I had to knock half a star off for all the non consent and funny business shit.

Overall, I really enjoyed this novel! This is one of my favorite romance series. I'm giving this 4.5 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5/5 Stars
