Cheesemaker Brie has the world’s worst luck in love, which is how she ends up falling for a lactose intolerant werewolf, in this raunchy, laugh-out-loud rom-com fantasy by the genre’s freshest new voice, Kimberly Lemming.
Brie’s never been particularly coordinated…or lucky. Who else would accidentally throw a drink at someone’s head only to miss entirely and hit a stranger behind them? And who else would have that stranger fall madly in love with them because it turns out that the drink she threw was a love potion? Yeah, probably just Brie.…
Running her cheese business and dealing with a pirate ship full of demons that just moved into town was hard enough. Now on top of it, she has to convince a werewolf that she’s not really his fated mate. Though even she’s got to admit…having a gorgeous man show up and do all her chores while telling her she’s beautiful isn’t the worst thing to happen to a girl.

Lemming keeps up her winning blend of cozy fantasy and steamy romance in her fast-paced, standalone second installment to the Mead Mishaps series (after That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon). Cheesemonger Brie Shields goes to throw a drink in the face of the guy harassing her at the bar, but when he ducks in the nick of time, she winds up drenching stranger Felix Monet. Unbeknownst to her, the drink happened to be laced with a love potion and now werewolf pirate Felix is utterly smitten. Felix is certain that, potion or no, Brie would be his true mate, but it may take weeks for the serum to wear off so they can be sure. In the meantime, the two must stick together or the effects of the potion will turn dangerous and put Felix’s life at risk. Enhancing this madcap romance plot is a hint of mystery: village girls keep disappearing and some strange new ghouls have arrived in town. Lemming makes the two story lines work together beautifully with enough worldbuilding to satisfy fantasy fans and enough lust to draw in lovers of monster romance. This is lighthearted escapism at its finest. Agent: Courtney Miller-Callihan, Handspun Literary.
