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.

This series is so much silly fun and I truly enjoy reading the absolutely bonkers books in it. Saved a Human has the adventure element that was kind of missing from Yeeted a Love Potion and I liked the couple in it a lot but for me it still didn’t quite live up to the first book. I enjoyed Cherry and Dante’s dynamic, plus I loved Cherry as a main character. Her instinct to immediately drug this guy to get him to help her made me laugh out loud, as did Dante’s subsequent bad trip. (Side note: don’t drug people in real life. It won’t get you a rich dragon-shifter husband; it’ll get you a jail cell.)

The side plot with Rebekah and the return of Alexis the talking sword were so fun. The only thing I didn’t really care for (and the reason I still prefer the first book) is that
I didn’t love Cherry’s quest to get home. I tried to understand her reasoning for not wanting to potentially open her family and hometown up to the wrath of a dragon but I could quite reconcile the logic. If I’d been kidnapped and kept from my home for 5 years, I’d be doing anything to get back to them. I also wish there had been a longer reunion between Cherry and her family. I was unsatisfied with her casual return when her family thought she’d been dead for years.


I’ll be backtracking to the companion novellas now and hoping that Kimberly Lemming continues this series forever because they are so much joyous fun.

As always check TWs! 

A fun romp, but like the others could use another round of spell checking. It stuck out more in this book than the others, but I’m not sure why. 
Quantity wise it has less spice but the spice it does have is v good

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
