This series is so unserious and I cackled my way through this. I’m so here for a lady who knows what she likes and doesn’t apologize for it.

I did feel like it was slightly less charming than the first book, probably because it has an insta-love element and is missing the adventure component. Still, if Kimberly Lemming were to write a million books in this series, I’d read all of them.

I liked Felix in the first book so this was fun to read! Brie is a great character. I think a little more character development would have been nice. But it was a good time just like the first one!

One again, Lemming blows me away with a riot of a story! Brie is just living her light, but one annoying man's advances end up with Brie throwing a drink and it hitting someone else. Turns out that someone is a werewolf and turns out that drink is a love potion. Whoops! While our werewolf, Felix, is certain that Brie's his fated mate, despite Brie's protests. Fortunately, the love potion should wear off in two weeks, but can Brie hold out that long? What will happen to this couple once the potion wears off?

This one is told in dual pov which I think is a great touch since we can see Brie's struggles and issues but also the werewolf Felix's mind. With him, we can see into his views on romance and why he's certain Brie is his mate but he also acknowledges the potion's affect on him. Seeing how both of them see this situation adds some wonderful tension.

It's also great to see how the world is changing after the events in the first novel, with demons now free from the evil witch's curse. It adds a lot of charm and comedy as we see the two species try to get along, though not without a few struggles here and there, some more serious than others. Makes me curious how this side of the worldbuidling will progress in the series!

This is a beautiful mix of romance, hilarity, and suspense. I absolutely adore this series and will definitely be reading the next one soon enough!

I picked this up for a funny and whimsical romance but ended up being put off by most of the romance scenes due to the love interest's possessive behaviour. In stead of a funny romance, this read to me as some kind of twisted Stockholm syndrome-ish relationship with a plot that twists towards the end so much that I can't wrap my head around it (

a cult kidnapping women to be used to awaken a dormant god-parasite???

The possessiveness doesn't get better

; if it did, I would give this book a higher rating.

The love interest is a werewolf who thinks the FMC is his fated mate, but he is also under the influence of a love potion, so there's guesswork whether his feelings are real or not. This possible double reason for insta-love makes him behave impulsively and wanting to claim the FMC as his.

I pulled her down, letting the desperation and possessiveness run free. [--] She didn't love me yet, I knew that, but damn it, she would.

Even if this book is ment to make fun of these kinds of tropes, I only see horrifying red flags in the werewolf's behaviour:

the werewolf goes to the court house and forces the workers there to sign him a marriage license to be married with the FMC without her being there or without her knowledge/consent, and at the same time he changes her surname to his. Then he moves into her house. And the smutty scenes... he's very possessive then as well.

🚩 Moreover, the smut gets very weird.

Tentacle weird.

🚩

The werewolf recognizes that he is possessive and even manipulative, but doesn't see that as a problem:
"I am [stalking the FMC]", I snapped, "No, wait, I'm not stalking, not anymore anyway, she wants me around now."

I should have checked the content warnings more thoroughly before picking this book up, even though I usually don't need to do that especially with books I expect to be lighthearted.

After liking the first book, I didn’t have another choice but to read the second one! Where I found the first one to be comical but lacking in storytelling, this one accounted for! It was easier to follow the plot of the story AND it was comical too! May I say, I loved Alexis and need to read more about this hilarious and feminist sword. Actually, the bit where all the women just laugh at the men was my favorite, I need more please. I’ll definitely be reading the third one!

Oh how I love the adventures of Boohail. Book 2 in the Mead Mishaps series gives us the wild love story of Brie and Felix. This had all of my favorite aspects of shifter romances with some added mystery and a closer look into Brie and Cinnamon’s friendship. Like it’s predecessors this was fun and incredibly steamy with all of the best parts of high stakes fantasy.
