Welcome to Plotting and Panting!! We’re excited to be here! Today we’re doing our monthly book review, That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming.Book Description: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.…Instagram handle: @kimberlylemmingPanting Scale Barely Warm – You could read this to your grandma and not blush A Little Breathless – Some flirty banter and a chaste kiss… maybe two if we’re feeling wild Need a Sip of Water – The shirt’s off, the lights are dim, and your cheeks are warm Heart Racing, Fan Required – Pages are sizzling and you’re reading with one eyebrow permanently raised Full-On Gasping for Air – The book is basically illegal in at least three countries Plotting Scale The Chaos Gremlin - No outline in sight.

Welcome to Plotting and Panting!! We’re excited to be here; grab your favorite drink, get comfy and let’s turn the page together! Today we are talking about Soul Searching by Lyla Sage.Paraphrased from Lyla Sage's Website:"Collins Cartwright does not want to go home. Sweetwater Peak, Wyoming, was supposed to be in her rearview mirror, but when she finds out a developer is trying to buy her parents’ antiques shop out from under them, she doesn’t have a choice—at least, that’s what she tells her family. They don’t need to know she’s lost her job and is out of money. Or that the ghosts who have always been her companions have recently gone silent.Lucky for her, the new-to-town upholsterer, Brady Cooper, has a room for rent above his store. As they begin to get closer, the lines between them start to blur, leaving both of them—and the ghosts who have been pushing them together—wondering whether their temporary arrangement could be something more permanent."Soul Searching by Lyla Sage - Lyla Sage | BooksPanting Scale Barely Warm – You could read this to your grandma and not blush A Little Breathless – Some flirty banter and a chaste kiss… maybe two if we’re feeling wild Need a Sip of Water – The shirt’s off, the lights are dim, and your cheeks are warm Heart Racing, Fan Required – Pages are sizzling and you’re reading with one eyebrow permanently raised Full-On Gasping for Air – The book is basically illegal in at least three countries Plotting Scale The Chaos Gremlin - No outline in sight.
