Book Review: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming

That Time I Got Drunk And Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Did I read this book in two days? Yes.

Did I enjoy myself reading this book? Yes, yes, I did.

Did I wish that there were book four in this amazing series? Yuup.

What was the only downfall to this book? Nothing...all except that it was longer.

This was the first fantasy romance I read that had kidnapping in it and also a dragon getting drunk on ayahuasca and then actually turning around and kidnapping the girl back. Then the two are trying to figure out the relationship, when one hasn't seen actual people in five years and another one just can't figure out how to talk to people, let alone shake people's hands without breaking them. I truly enjoyed this book for reasons that might surprise you.

One, I really like how Dante and Cherry were taking the time to know each other, even though it was mostly Dante trying to pry it out of her and then get so confused about how to do this that he calls up Fallon and Felix and ask them how the hell do he talk to his wife. I found it very adorable to see a huge dragon like him flustered about trying to figure out how to talk to his wife and trying not to mess it up at the same time. I also liked how he gave Cherry the time it needed to get to know him, and when they did, it was perfect.

The spice in this book might be my favorite written spice in a while. Many times, they try to smash, but they can't because something keeps interrupting them, which was pretty funny. When they had their tryst in the gardens in Kirkwall (and yes, my brain IMMEDIATELY went to Dragon Age,) and they witnessed that funny argument with Rachel and her beau who also had a lovely tryst...in the same place...but different places...with Rachel's sisters.

Ooof.

After Dante gets kidnapped himself and ends up at a gladiator ring, he nearly kills the king because he was searching for Cherry, it turns out that his sister found her, also the taking sword Alexis is back, and she found out that the white kitty Rebekah is a different type of beast, which was shocking because I thought Rebekah was a cute kitty. Apparently, she can turn into a beast and turn people into zombies.

All in all, I truly enjoyed this book and I'm sad that this is the last book in the series because I really enjoyed this one so, so much :)

Book Review: That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon by Kimberly Lemming

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If I can summarize this book, I would say that this book is like if the song "Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend" by Powerwolf slammed together with a funny, laugh-out-loud book, then this book is for you. I enjoyed this book so much that I have a feeling that I'm going to reread this book all over again because it didn't take me long to read, and I really enjoyed reading about Cinnamon and Fallon.

I liked the adventure Cinnamon and Fallon went on, even though she didn't want to go at first. She kept saying "nope", but then as she got better and stronger, that's when she started to gain confidence in herself. Even when she started to fall in love with Fallon when she didn't mean to, coming up with so many excuses when in reality she did want him, but she tried to resist him, even when he turned into a huge Shadow Dragon and nearly burned a whole city down, but he didn't, thank god. The part I liked was when she saved Felix the werewolf and Ambrose the Yuan-Ti snake man from that horrible man who wanted to skin them for their pelts, which was very terrible, but I liked how the author handled that situation.

The second thing that I liked about this book was the many monsters that appeared in the book, which were almost a lot. Meeting orcs that didn't want to tear your face off, the two different dragons that were very different but one was controlled by the evil lich, and also I liked how there was no animosity when they came together after what happened in the city of Wandermere. It was like everyone came together and hung out on the boat.

Even though I only read this book for the comedy and the adventure, and the romance and the spice are down on the list of things I would love about this book, the romance and the spice is up there, because good lord I loved every bit of it. Even though it was a little fast and I got worried that it was going to get bad, instead the flow of how Fallon and Cinnamon fell in love, even when he called her "Rabbit" or "Little Rabbit", I still enjoyed it and the spice was just perfect for me-not to little and not too much.

I would read this book all over again for the very first time because it was *that* good.
