That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf is the second book in the Mead Mishaps series by Kimberly Lemming. It was just as cute as the first book, I really enjoyed it. 

This book starts off with our main character, Brie (who is a cheesemaker), she's at a party with her best friend Cinnamon (the same Cinnamon who was the main character of book 1!) and they're getting drunk and having a nice time. Well, they were trying to have a nice time. There's a man who keeps asking Brie out on a date and he won't take no for an answer. 

After Brie and this asshole argue back and forth for a bit, the man apologizes and tries to offer her a drink. Brie doesn't want to take it, but the pushy man insists! So, Brie grabs the drink and tries to throw it at him, but he dodges the drink and it hits and unsuspected person BEHIND HIM! This wouldn't be such a big deal if it were just a drink, but it turns out that it's a love potion. The person struck with the love potions name is Felix, he turns around and the first person he sees is Brie and he instantly falls in love. 

After that, a hilarious and sweet story happens and it's just so good. I really recommend this series for anyone who likes romance, spice/erotica, and sweet scenes. 

I would give this 5 stars but there was one thing I didn't like so I'm knocking off .5 stars. While Felix and Brie are visiting Cinnamon and Fallon, Felix is telling them that
he and Brie are officially married, and that they were discussing how many kids they might want to have
. Brie is embarrassed that Felix won't stop talking about this so she attempts to hit him, repeatedly. She does not hit him, but the fact that she attempted to really pissed me off. Hitting people isn't acceptable unless you're protecting yourself or your loved ones. I'm honestly tried of seeing the trope of "women hitting their partners" or "women hitting men". It's not okay and writing that little bit in just reinforces this idea that hitting your partner/a person for any old reason is okay.


The spice in this was nice, I'm giving this 4 chilies out out 5 chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️worth of spice. 

Overall this novella was cute, I'm giving this 4.5 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5* for the sheer enjoyment of reading this. 

This is an easy and funny read that will get you tingly with a nice amount of spice (high 3/5). It's notl high fantasy, the language is often quite contemporary and feels out of place in that fantasy world, but it makes the experience of a first person narration a little more authentic, at least for me. 

This series is quickly becoming my favorite pick for a comfort read. I actually giggled and laughed out loud multiple times, and I'm starting to really love the characters (Felix was already a favorite in the last book... ). Go read it if you wanna feel good and giggly for a couple hours. Especially if you've ever wondered what would happen if you - a romance reader who loves werewolves and knows all the tropes - finds yourself mated to a werewolf who knows all the tropes and is just *too* happy to reenact them all with you. 

Such a good time, loved it!

Fun, but it was missing the narrative thrust of the previous book. I kept forgetting about the big conflict when there wasn't focus on it because it was treated more like a subplot.

I love this series! Each book is such a delightful mash of humour, misunderstandings, romance, and adventure, all wrapped up in a setting that honours medieval-esque fantasy while still feeling fresh. I need like a dozen more of these books in my life!
