This was fun, cozy and chaotic in the best way. Dante’s loneliness made him one of the most sympathetic heroes in the series. However, I didn’t like how much of Cherry’s interest in him seemed driven by him being rich. She mentioned it a gazillion times. There’s also a sex scene involving Cherry in a metal collar and chain that just doesn’t work for me in a romance with a Black woman.

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.

That Time I got Drunk and Saved A Human is book 3 of the Mead Mishap series follows the story of Dante and Cherry after he stumbles upon her while visiting an old friend on a secluded island. The connection the two share will prove to be much deeper than fated mates as they travel across the lands in search of a unicorn.
Dante is willing to do anything to please his mate and Cherry is willing to do and say anything if it will get her one step closer to her home. However, neither of them are prepared for what trouble heads there way in the form of an enchanted sword and a stowaway cat.
I loved this book. I feel it is the most slow-burnish of all the previous books in the series so far. But readers really get to see Dante's character change in the presence of his mate which is something I really enjoyed. Cherry's character is very bold, conning and stubborn but she definitely does not scare easy. I think this has something to do with the fact that she was trapped in a castle for over five years, but that's just my opinion. We do get to see several appearances of familiar Boohill faces along with some new ones in this book and the laughs don't stop until the very last page.
I will say that if you plan to eat something around the last third of this book, you may want to wait.
