Reviews with content warning for Murder - That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human

Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? I loved this! I had no idea who this book was going to be about, and when I figured it out, I had to stop reading for a minute and collect myself, because I was so excited. This book was so fun and had all of Kimberly’s classic humor, her wonderful characters, the wonderful boohail, and so much more. We got to see Alexis and meet some new characters which was super fun. We got to wrap some things up from the past left on answered, and we got to see more smutty deliciousness. What a wonderful read, and I am left here in such a good mood :-)

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.

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??

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
