This book was a little underwhelming compared to the first, and the banter wasn't as funny. It was like Brie was the same as Cinnamon, except her quips were cheese themed instead of spice themed. It would have been nice to have their personalities and dialogue a little more distinct.
Again, the conflict resolution felt rushed and I felt there was a bit of the miscommunication trope (sort of, don't let it deter you; it does make sense in this scenario, it was just very mildly irksome) but I still enjoyed the romance between Brie and Felix.
I can't judge a short book too harshly for moving everything along quickly, even if it's a little too quickly, so the main reason I didn't give a better rating is because this book didn't feel different enough from the first book. It needed to have its own uniqueness to keep it from feeling boring and like it's basically just rehashing the same plot/conflict.
It sounds like the 3rd book is a bit different, but I won't be reading it right away. I think I would have liked this second book better if I would have read some other books in between, maybe, so I'm hoping that will be the case if I wait a bit to read the 3rd book.

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!

Golden retriever MMC energy (not just because he is a werewolf). This one requires a little suspension of disbelief because the Big Bad is a little weird, but as long as you just go with it you will have a great time. This FMC, best friend of the FMC from the first book, shares the energy of not wanting to get involved in crazy things like creepy voices calling “hello” from the woods at night. Just keep walking.
That energy and the love and appreciation of cheese is relatable. Be sure to read the novella Mistlefoe between book one and book two unless you want to be confused by a talking no-longer-inanimate object.

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 thathe 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

Super fun sequel to That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon!
This one felt even more fast paced, which given the length, I am not complaining about!
It was a fun and lighthearted read with lots of silly moments and swoony instalove romance.

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.

This was such a fun and sexy read! I really like this series and plan to read any more that the author comes out with. There are some really sexy tropes in here...let's just say we totally take advantage of the fact that the male love interest is a werewolf!

It was fun to see these characters interact again, but is heavily dependent on the previous knowledge in the first book, with not much else being expanded upon.
Unfortunately, I didn't end up liking this book as much as the first. It swings from silly to over-the-top sexual very fast. The plot that this book does have happens suddenly without many questions being asked, and feels quite surface-level.
Overall the writing style is fun and lighthearted, with cute characters and scenarios. Do not take this book seriously.
