Synopsis (Goodreads):

When a spirited young woman with a penchant for adventure finds herself locked away in a dragon’s tower, she realizes that fate has a peculiar sense of humor when it comes to her romantic prospects, in this laugh-out-loud fantasy rom-com.

All children are told fairytales. Some are epic adventures with high stakes and exciting twists, while others are tales of pitiful princesses trapped in boring towers pining for their Prince Charmings to come and rescue them. Growing up, Cherry always hated those stories. Why didn’t the princesses just get up and rescue themselves? Little did she know that her own fate would take an ironically similar turn. Because now, here she is. Stuck. In a tower. Turns out, when a dragon holds you hostage, he doesn’t just let you get up and leave.

Who knew?

And just when Cherry thinks she sees hope on the horizon, that hope is smashed to bits by—you guessed it—another damn dragon.

Thoughts on That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human: We're back with another member of the Hotpepper family and Cherry has NOT been having a good couple of years. Mostly because she's been confined to an island by a dragon who refuses to speak to her. Which is bothersome because Cherry needs people to talk to. Or dragons. She's not picky.

So when a handsome dragon lands on her island, Cherry does what any self-respecting lady would do and drugs the poor guy. No lie, if Cherry had been a little slower on the trigger, she *might* have found out Dante was more than willing to spirit her away to the place of her choosing, but she drugged first and asked questions later and now she and Dante are mated. Whoops.

Not that Cherry has much to complain about. After all, Dante is filthy rich, treats her like the queen she is, and adores every trouble-magnet inch of her. In fact, Dante's only real flaw is his complete lack of game when it comes to wooing women. (I mean, he does well enough, but he has a few missteps along the way and I don't know if he should be taking advice from Felix, but that's probably another story for another day.)

On Dante's end, he knew Cherry was his person the moment he met her. Maybe even before. Let's just say that he really likes the way she smelled and mating with her was everything he thought it would be. With a side of weird requests and a few instances of mortal danger.

A danger-prone lady, the return of the sassy talking sword, a little mayhem, a little brain eating (whoops), a dragon who is blissfully happy making his honey-bunny happy, and a lady who didn't know what she wanted in a dragon until she drugged one and got Dante. GOOD TIMES!
