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

Another fun romp to Boohail, this time to find out what happened to Cinnamon's missing little sister Cherry!! I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to resolve that tragedy in this series. Poor Dante just wants to escape the lovesick fools parading all around Boohail, so he sets out to find his fated mate in the big wide world. But first, a pit stop at an old family friend's island all but slaps him in the face with his mate, quite unexpectedly. Cherry, meanwhile, has been stuck on this damned island for 5 YEARS and wants nothing more than to never the stoic blue dragon she's been trapped by ever again and is wiling to do just about anything to escape.
So much of their shenanigans together could have been solved with much better communication, but given their both lack of knowledge--Dante's being a lack of how to woo a human or general knowledge of human women, and Cherry's being literally any current events happening in the world at large because she's been trapped on an island for the last 5 years--it was comical, if not a bit frustrating at times. I loved the cameo from Alexis the sword, even getting her own POV chapter! As always with the Mead Mishaps series, there's some larger nefarious plot to overthrow, and it's never quite what you expect until you stumble upon in. The secret underground monster kidnapping and forced gladiatorial matches (under a magical influence) were totally not what I was expecting from this one, but also right in line with the magical incel cult from book two and the goddess-who-was-actually-a-litch from book one.
