That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is rom-com-fantasy book light in mood. Have you ever accidentally saved a demon with cinnamon? No? Well, neither had Cinnamon (yes, that’s her name) until one tipsy night turned her quiet farm life into a chaotic, demon-slaying, queen-toppling adventure.
That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon Summary
Cinnamon, a spice trader with zero interest in heroics, lives a cozy life on her family’s farm, happily watching others march off to fight demons for the goddess Myva. Why risk life and limb when you can grow cinnamon, drink with your bestie Brie (yes, like the cheese), and keep your biggest battles confined to weeding the garden? Adventure? No, thanks—Cin’s got enough excitement managing her spice business and dodging marriage proposals.
But one fateful night, after a bit too much wine at a send-off party for Myva’s latest chosen heroes, Cin stumbles home through the woods and encounters Fallon—a massive, fire-breathing, ridiculously handsome demon who looks like he should be on a fantasy romance cover. Naturally, Cin’s first instinct is to run (smart), and when that fails, she pelts him with her trusty cinnamon spice. Turns out, cinnamon isn’t just for pastries—it’s also effective against cursed demons. Fallon snaps out of his berserk state, thanks Cin for saving him, and immediately recruits her for a quest to take down Myva herself. (Wait, what?)
According to Fallon, the goddess isn’t the benevolent protector Cin grew up worshipping. Nope, she’s a manipulative tyrant who curses demons, enslaves humans, and uses her so-called “heroes” to perpetuate a rigged system. Cin is understandably skeptical—this is a lot to process for someone who was just trying to get home with all her limbs intact. But Fallon is persistent, not to mention annoyingly charming, and after hearing his story, Cin reluctantly agrees to help.
What follows is a rollicking adventure packed with humor, danger, and, well, a lot of heat. (Both literal and romantic—he’s a dragon, after all.) Cin quickly discovers that Fallon isn’t the only misunderstood demon in this world, and that the tales of evil monsters she grew up with were mostly propaganda. Along the way, they’re joined by an eccentric cast of characters, including demons with oddly wholesome hobbies (like fostering animals—aw!) and enemies who are more clueless than threatening.
Burning down a city of slavers? Sure, that sounds heroic—until she starts wondering about the innocents caught in the crossfire. And the goddess’s chosen “heroes”? Turns out, they’re victims too, duped into risking their lives for a lie.
Then there’s the romance. Oh, the romance. Fallon is as swoon-worthy as he is infuriating, and their banter is electric. Cin’s resistance to his charm doesn’t last long—who can say no to a demon who’s willing to risk everything for her? Their relationship is steamy, playful, and surprisingly tender, proving that even the most reluctant spice traders can find love in the unlikeliest places.
By the end of this wild journey, Cin isn’t just a spice trader anymore—she’s a hero who’s toppled a goddess, uncovered ancient secrets, and learned that life outside her farm isn’t so bad after all.

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon Book Review by Kimberly Lemming
This book is laugh-out-loud funny, spicy (in more ways than one), and filled with snarky banter. Fallon, the dragon-demon hybrid, is every sarcastic, overpowered love interest you didn’t know you needed.
But here’s the thing: sometimes, the humor feels like it’s over pressing. Even some of the serious moments get undercut by jokes, leaving some emotional beats a little flat. And while the lighthearted chaos is fun, the pacing feels rushed—especially in the romance department. Fated mates trope? Sure, but why so fast, Fallon?
Still, if you’re in the mood for irreverent humor, sexy demons, and a story that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this book’s your jam.
