Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon: Mead Mishaps 1

I wanted to like this more than i did.
like with so many of the romantasy books, for me the story is lackluster without the addition of the spice. i really want to like those books, and i dont mind ridiculousness or sillyness (i quite enjoy it).
but i want more body in the rest of the story.
like the idea of the world is really intriguing, but the execution is underwhelming.
i will not pick up the sequel. also (and maybe i am too sensitive here) for me this bordered on reluctance additional to "light bdsm" (i appreciated the triggerwarning though). just because we read her inner monologue doesnt mean he knows its happening - so this definately gave me a bit of an ick.
there were also some other sensibilities where maybe an additional sensibility reader would've been benefitial.
also the possessiveness is way too creepy for me!

all of that to say - i am aware a lot of what i wrote are me problems so i still gave it 2.75*

This was a super fun read. As my second romance book and first ever smut, it was so enjoyable I finished it within a day. It's super cheesy but it had me laughing the entire time. A great experience!

Loved this book so much. It's goofy and adorable and just lovely. One of those stories that acknowledges its own genre and is comfortable taking potshots at the sillier tropes and stereotypes. The characters are just over-the-top enough to be lovable without slipping into "ugh, this shtick again" territory. The overall world building wasn't very in depth, but the ideas that were explored helped with understanding the plot movement.
