I started out not really enjoying this, certain I would give it like a 2.5 or something. But my enjoyment started when Cinnamon and Fallon started getting along, and went up from there
Very campy and corny with fun characters and good spicy content. Even had some found family in there too

I mean, you know what you're getting into when you look at that title and cover. I wanted a fun spicy fantasy and that's exactly what I got. I had a great time the entire time, and I'm happy to read more from this series. This is not high brow stuff, I found some of the writing to be clunky and a lot of cliches are used. Part of me itched to do some editing to smooth things out, but I tried to focus on just enjoying the ride. This will also be a bit of a time capsule due to the very contemporary slang used. If you are craving the feeling of reading smutty fanfic at 2am on tumblr, this will hit the spot.

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon" by Kimberly Lemming earns a solid 4-star rating from me. While it took some time to immerse myself in the story, and there were occasional interruptions in the flow, Plus, it took me a bit to get used to the language style. But OMG, Fallon is just brilliantly written. making the narrative engaging and enjoyable.
“I’m your villain today, remember? I don’t need to be nice.”
The story definitely picks up after the initial part. It’s an easy, enjoyable read—a perfect blend of fluffy romance and fantasy. Although there are some rough patches, overall, it’s a simple feel-good story with a not-too-deep plot.
As for the description, spice trader Cinnamon's unexpected adventure with a fiery demon Fallon is both sweet and steamy, and oh-so-funny. It's a rom-com fantasy that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Can't wait to see where the journey takes them next! 📚✨ #ThatTimeIGotDrunk #KimberlyLemming #BookReview #RomComFantasy #FluffyRomance

After weeks of waiting, I was finally able to listen to this book through my local library.
Brief Summary: Cinnamon is a bit of a homebody. Well, she does love to go out with her best friend to the local tavern and to the market to sell her spices, but she is definitely, absolutely not someone seeking out adventure. However, one day after celebrating with her friend at the local festival she stumbles home drunk and accidentally rescues, Fallon....who just so happens to be a demon.
After Fallon makes his intention to kill an enemy that is not Cinnamon or her family clear, she is forced to agree to help him. As they set out on their adventure Cinnamon must grapple with her past and open herself up to new opportunities. However, what she doesn't expect is that by doing so she might also be opening her heart.
Thoughts: This book was WILD and I LOVED absolutely every single second of it. Lemming's writing was so entertaining and endearing. Cinnamon was everything I wanted in a main character. She was funny, introspective, kind, feisty, educated, and empowered. The way that she evolves throughout the book is so endearing. I also really loved how Lemming made her a real person. For example, when Cinnamon gets dirty on her adventures Lemming not only mentions that she bathes, but that Cinnamon is very unhappy with the current state of feeling gross. It's a little thing, but I find in adventure books things like that are often glossed over and it makes the characters in a book feel less human. This is just one way that Lemming's writing is so nuanced.
I also enjoyed all of the side characters that Cinnamon and Fallon meet throughout their adventure and Cinnamon's family back at home. Everyone had very distinct personalities and contributed something to the plot and friendship group. There were also quite a few instances where they provided some great comedic lines.
I did enjoy the relationship between Cinnamon and Fallon. It was sweet and entertaining. I do wish that we had spent just a little more time on the development of their relationship. There were a few times when it felt like things were being swept along due to the plot. The times when they were alone together were often steamy, but if there had been a smidge more in the emotional connection, I would not have been mad.
If you love fantasy romance novels or just romance novels I would highly recommend this book. It's heartwarming and entertaining
