You probably meant the book titled 'That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon' — and honestly, it’s exactly the kind of rom‑com fantasy that makes me grin like a nerd at a con. The central 'stars' are Cinnamon (usually called Cin), a spice trader whose quiet plans for a simple life get utterly derailed, and Fallon, a fiery demon she accidentally saves while in a wine‑drunk stupor. The book’s author is Kimberly Lemming, and the whole thing reads like a cozy, spicy, laugh‑out‑loud quest with a big heart. Plotwise: Cin saves Fallon when she’s drunk, and he confesses his goal — to kill an evil witch who’s enslaving his people. Fallon essentially ropes Cin into a dangerous, chaotic quest that combines oddball humor, sizzling chemistry, and surprisingly tender moments. Along the way there are fights, awkward heroics, and magic‑adjacent solutions (yes, Cin’s spice knowledge actually becomes useful in ways you wouldn’t expect). The tone is rom‑com with fantasy stakes: equal parts mischief, accidental heroism, and steamy banter. If you prefer listening, the audiobook is narrated by Hazel Addison, which makes the humor land really well. I loved how Cin’s voice is grounded and sarcastic while Fallon is gloriously dramatic — together they make the book breezy and addictive. Definitely a good pick if you want something warm, funny, and a little spicy — I found myself smiling long after I closed the page.
If you’re wondering whether 'Is That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demo' deserves a spot on your reading list, I’d say yes—especially if you love novels that mix ridiculous setups with surprisingly warm human moments. I laughed out loud more than once at the absurd premise and at how the protagonist’s hangover logic somehow leads to genuine, awkwardly sweet connections with other characters. The pace is breezy without feeling shallow; the chapters are the kind that make you promise 'one more' and then stay up too late. The author balances comedy and empathy well: jokes land because the characters are believable, not just caricatures. There’s a thread of real vulnerability underneath the drunk antics—a kind of soft honesty about trying to fix mistakes and finding unexpected community. If you like stories where small, strange incidents change lives in low-key ways, this one will click. It’s not a world-shaker, but it’s the kind of book I hand to friends who want something uplifting and offbeat. Personally, I closed it smiling and a little teary, which is my stamp of approval for a cozy, character-driven read.
The title alone hooked me — and if you want to read 'That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon' without paying out of pocket, the most reliable free route is your public library's digital apps. Plenty of libraries carry the ebook and audiobook on OverDrive/Libby, so you can borrow it just like a physical book if your local system owns a copy; search Libby/OverDrive for the title and request a hold if it’s checked out. If you prefer an official publisher sample or want to confirm which formats exist, the Orbit/Hachette page lists the ebook, audiobook, and print editions and sometimes includes previews or links to retailer samples — handy if you want to read a chapter or two for free before borrowing. If your library doesn’t have a copy, you can often ask them to buy it or place an interlibrary loan/hold. I grabbed my copy through Libby and loved how silly and warm it is — borrowing it felt like the best kind of free win. Definitely try your library first; it usually works out and keeps me financially free to buy the rest of the series later.
