The Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf by Kimberly Lemming

(The current list) 

Ok. This is embarrassing. I love this series. I love this series, but when I try to categorize it for my friends, the best descriptor I can come up with is "demon smut with a really good story."


Don't get me wrong. I'm not prudish and I certainly don't judge people's taste. There's nothing wrong with reading a bawdy romance novel from time to time. However, generally I read a romance novel in about a day. I enjoy it while I'm reading it, and then I forget about it. The stories are fine, but they are really a vehicle for a lascivious scene or two.

In this series, it's the stories that are so fun. The bawdy scenes are. . . graphic. Full check on the lascivious content, but honestly I like the world that Lemming has built. The mixture of a demon society with a human one where the demons are not inherently bad is kind of cool. 

This one is the story of Brie, the introverted cheese-maker, and Felix, the werewolf. Brie likes her romance novels and hanging out with Cinnamon's (from the first book) family. So when she gets some unwanted attention at the tavern, it's not too surprising that she throws the drink this guy was trying to force on her straight at him. Unfortunately for Brie, the unwanted suitor is good at dodging and is also a piece of trash that spiked the drink with a love potion. Instead, Brie manages to peg it right into the back of Felix's head. Felix is instantly in love. He swears it is genuine love. Brie's pretty sure it's going to wear off.

In the meantime, young women are going missing from all the villages in the area. The demons know it isn't them but the villagers are suspicious. 

Like I said. It's a lot of fun. However, be warned, the sex scenes are graphic.
