Do you know, do you have any concept, of how happy I am at discovering this series late, so I can dive right into the next book immediately? Very happy!!!

After her bestie Cin returns from shanking a “goddess,” Brie is even more sure she doesn’t want to go on an adventure. She’s good in her cottage full of craft projects and her thriving cheese-making business. This whole love-bespelled werewolf will get over his supernatural crush after three to five business days, right? Except he’s telling her they’re fated, eager to do chores, and likes the same romance novels (and is happy to re-enact them). Uh oh.

I continue to adore the series. Unlike the previous book, That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf stays in and around Cin and Brie’s hometown. Staying home grants breathing space to witness the new normal of the human-demon integration (plus peek in how Cin & Fallon are settling). It’s going well to say the least, haha. Before this book, I’d never seen male characters this eager to create an orgasm in a lady. Felix and other demons elevate their female partner’s climax, making it seem like a religious experience, or a rare, treasured chance to worship a deity. They express their eagerness to please in a group setting as well, which boggled my mind. I’m so used to stories with misogynistic “locker room talk” that insults and objectifies the bodies men are supposed to be loving. In the positive depictions of female orgasm I’ve read, the male lovers are smug, bumbling, nonchalant, or (ugh) begrudging about it. Making a female partner climax is all about the male partner’s ability to do so, like a feather in his cap. Any group discussion would center the men bragging about themselves. Maybe I need to read better m/f romance books?? I definitely need to read everything Lemming has ever written.

That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf is a rare cozy werewolf romance. Read it!!! I would love Brie’s life of a little cottage farm full of crafts and books.
