I've never laughed so hard reading such a steamy romance, I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole story. As irreverent as it is sweet, who knew the adventure that would come from getting drunk and saving a demon? Cin as a character is laugh out loud relatable and funny, she truly wants nothing more then to just mind her business and not be caught up in any adventures or main character-ing. Of course that is not how the story goes!
Fallon is peak male romance lead, masculine and protective, and more then willing to rip a man's arm clean off just as easily as he is able to kiss Cin senseless. (And he does both of those tasks quite frequently!) It is difficult not to fall in love with Lemming's writing, the amount of fun she seemed to have had in these pages makes reading it such a treat and delight. There is quite a bit of slang and jargon that will surely be outdated in a few years time, but for now it hits in that sweet spot of sounding just like how any other unwilling heroine might.
There are several scenes that get quite spicy, and they are written very well. VERY. WELL. I am not saying I am willing to be whisked away on a quest and gain a demon mate in the process, but I'm not NOT saying that. (Please any technologically aware demons, hit me up if you're reading this.)
A highlight of reading is all of the food parts, Cin loves to eat and all the food descriptors and her passion for her next meal also made my stomach growl, and kept the story light. A memorable scene is when Cin found out she had declared herself the cheese queen. I had to pause and just laugh to myself because it felt so silly, yet so right for this story. "Because I fully remember you tasking several orcs to bring you cheese. Then you sat in the captain;'s chair and the words 'I am the cheese queen' definitely came out of your mouth."
I do wish there were parts that weren't so rushed, the beginning was nice, but it quickly ramped up to the point the ending felt quite a bit rushed. I did enjoy it, even if Cin fell in love over the span of such a short time period, I can't say I wouldn't do the same when faced with such a sexy dragon.
It is a testament to Lemming's writing that even with how quickly the plot flies by in this short read, it sticks in your mind and leaves you satiated. But that is to say the pacing is far different in the beginning then it is in the end. When I realized there was only a few chapters left I was wondering just how the tasks the hero's were trying to accomplish was going to get done, with all the travel that been mentioned. In a way a part of it did feel a tinge unsatisfying, but it was so much fun I didn't truly mind.
This is my first book of Kimberly Lemming's, I NEED to read the rest of the series now. If you're looking for a funny and steamy short read, this is perfect for you, highly recommend!

This was fun, quick, and quirky!
I liked the fantasy adventure, romance, and the humor more than the romance, but it’s all a good time. Cin’s close-knit seasoning family was so endearing.
Cin had a personality and a mouth to go with it. She just wanted a simple life. Fallon is a man (demon) that knows what he wants. His banter with Cin was mostly good. Rabbit is a pretty cute pet name, but I’ll never stop cringing at “good girl” and that ugly rooster in all the love scenes. I liked those parts the least of the story and one of them was a little dicey.

I don’t usually like romance books, but if you’re a black fantasy reader i suggest you pick this book up. I literally couldn’t put it down. Cinnamon as a character is so relatable to me as a black reader and I felt so engaged while reading this book. It did move fast but that was expected given the plot & genre. A very fun read, hilarious & if you’re a TTRPG or D&D friend, you’ll find extra fun it.

Hmmmm. Fun premise; okay-written; boring romance and erotica. Would've dropped early on if not for the fact that I promised to finish it.
What I liked: black heroine, the "we found you in the trash" sibling jokes, Usha.
What I didn't: unnecessary plot points, instalove, the "everyone loves and joins the heroine cause she's so awesome and cool" trope, certain iffy behaviors from the hero disguised as romance. Cheese queen...

I’d love to recommend this to people who like d&d since it’s full of shenanigans that feel straight from a goofy campaign with friends, but good GOD this book was horny! Not that I’M complaining but damn. The world was fun, but the pacing was so sooo fast. I’ll probably read the other books in this series because the humor is so good. (Yeah. The humor. Just the humor is what’s good 👍)

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon" by Kimberly Lemming earns a solid 4-star rating from me. While it took some time to immerse myself in the story, and there were occasional interruptions in the flow, Plus, it took me a bit to get used to the language style. But OMG, Fallon is just brilliantly written. making the narrative engaging and enjoyable.
“I’m your villain today, remember? I don’t need to be nice.”
The story definitely picks up after the initial part. It’s an easy, enjoyable read—a perfect blend of fluffy romance and fantasy. Although there are some rough patches, overall, it’s a simple feel-good story with a not-too-deep plot.
As for the description, spice trader Cinnamon's unexpected adventure with a fiery demon Fallon is both sweet and steamy, and oh-so-funny. It's a rom-com fantasy that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Can't wait to see where the journey takes them next! 📚✨ #ThatTimeIGotDrunk #KimberlyLemming #BookReview #RomComFantasy #FluffyRomance
