That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon (Mead Mishaps, 1)

Spice trader Cinnamon's quiet life is turned upside down when she ends up on a quest with a fiery demon, in this irreverently quirky rom-com fantasy that is sweet, steamy, and funny as hell.

All she wanted to do was live her life in peace--maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn't involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the goddess has favorites, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them.

After Cin saves the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, Fallon reveals that all he really wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And who can blame him? But now he's dragging Cinnamon along for the ride whether she likes it or not. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt....

This is a very cute book, and was entertaining. Personally I would have like some more time to establish the universe and the rules of this fantasy world. After they were done in the swamp (which was my favorite part) everything just happened so quickly. Cute story that is worth the read, but I would probably not give it a re-read.

This is more a me-thing than a book-thing. Too quirky for the sake of being quirky for my taste, which I probably should have known from the book titles alone.

The vibes were ridiculous and fun. Fallon the hot dragon demon and Cin the quiet brown skin spice trader, were all wit and vibes. I can't wait till the next adventure.

A JRPG in book format. The FMC falls into a epic quest and picks up companions along the way.

This was everything I hoped it was AND MORE! This book kept my attention from start to finish, not once did I lose interest in the middle. Even when it's a little predictable, the author did an amazing job at keeping attention. It's hilarious, down to earth rom-com. Not my genre but this definitely has made to my tops.
