"One of the freshest voices in fantasy romance! This book has it all: spice, humor, and a world I want to get lost in." —Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author
Spice trader Cinnamon’s quiet life is turned upside down when she ends up on a quest with a fiery demon, in this irreverently quirky rom-com fantasy that is sweet, steamy, and funny as hell.
All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn’t involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the goddess has favorites, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them.
After Cin saves the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, Fallon reveals that all he really wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And who can blame him? But now he’s dragging Cinnamon along for the ride whether she likes it or not. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt.…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lemming (Mistlefoe) launches the Mead Mishaps series with a spritely romantasy led by a reluctant heroine and her smitten demon companion. The citizens of Boohail worship the goddess Myva, who every 15 years chooses four champions to combat the demons and monsters that have escaped through the Volsog gate. Spice farmer and homebody Cinnamon "Cin" Hotpepper is celebrating that she was not chosen with limitless libations when she stumbles upon an injured demon in her fields. He's seven feet tall, not counting his horns, and his broad shoulders and long straight black hair set Cin's heart aflutter. His name is Fallon Ozul and he's there to set the record straight: Myva is not a goddess, but an evil lich who drives demons insane and preys on them to fuel her dark magic. Cinnamon sticks happen to neutralize Myva's spell over demons, so Fallon enlists Cin's help infiltrating Myva's temple and destroying the chalice that holds her soul. It's easy enough—until Fallon learns there are three more temples throughout the continent, each with its own chalice that needs to be shattered. With resilient Cin's flirtatious irreverence and Fallon's smoldering magnetism, can they keep their hands off each other long enough to accomplish their mission? Hilarious banter, cheeky anachronisms, and hot and heavy lovemaking punctuate this full-throttle adventure. It's good fun.
