Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon

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 There is quite a bit of slang and jargon that will surely be outdated in a few years time, but for now it hits in that sweet spot of sounding just like how any other unwilling heroine might.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!

I love this book sooo damn much!! my favourite thing in a book is when I can feel every emotion possible and love it and Kimberly delivered.

I laughed & I teared up and over all just had the best time reading this book. Also the spice, my goodness🤭

It was only ~170 pages but Kimberly did such a great job making it feel like it wasn’t, there was great pacing, the world build was perfect and not too complicated but also didn’t lack in anything, I never felt bored at any point and the characters were well fleshed out and have me looking forward to more. New favourite instant buy author🫶🏾

I see myself in Cinnamons character a lot and that felt so refreshing to fully connect with a character, girl was a mood. Fallon, jesus take the wheel, FALLON? yeah, top monster boyfriend. perfect cozy fantasy book with elements of magic, an adorable friendship group and a good adventure.

So cute! I would recommend to anyone trying to get into the fantasy genre.

Cinnamon in her drunk stupor saves a demon. Now she has to help the demon kill the goddess of the land.
