Kimberly Lemming delivers a perfect blend of fantasy, adventure, and swoon-worthy romance in "That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon". This book is a spicy, laugh-out-loud rom com through a vividly imagined world that pulls you in with its quirky characters, heartfelt moments, and unexpected twists.
The story follows Cinnamon "Cin," a small-town spice maker whose ordinary life takes a wild turn when, after a drunken night, she accidentally saves Fallon—a tall, ridiculously handsome demon who has been freed from a terrible curse. Fallon reveals the truth about the sinister magic that has plagued Cin’s people for generations and gives her one terrifying choice: help him break the curse and free his kind, or risk the safety of her family. With no other option, Cin embarks on the adventure of a lifetime.
As Cin travels with Fallon, she not only discovers her bravery and strength but also meets a delightful band of misfits—both human and demon—who feel like the perfect found family. The chemistry between Cin and Fallon is chef's kiss: equal parts steamy and sweet, with moments that make your heart flutter. Their romance develops naturally, layered with humor, trust, and genuine affection that makes you root for them every step of the way.
Lemming's descriptive writing immerses you in this fantastical world, and her ability to weave lighthearted humor with deeper emotional stakes is unmatched. I loved how she gave life to side characters, making them just as compelling as the leads. It's rare to find a book where you’re just as invested in the supporting cast as you are in the main romance, but Lemming pulls it off effortlessly.
If you're a fan of fantasy stories with spicy romance, hilarious banter, and a dash of heart-pounding adventure, this book is a must-read. I can't wait to see what Kimberly Lemming writes next—she’s officially an auto-buy author for me!
