This was unhinged
A collection of short stories all about the love between humans and dinosaurs in a jurassic park ish world. This was silly and unhinged but I had a good time.

Loooook, I went into this having accidentally read a Lola Faust book before because I just saw a cool-looking dinosaur and didn't read the description, yet I still clicked on this and read it. What does that say about me? You decide.

Should I read in order?
This is a stand alone novel.
Basic plot:
Tanis loves dinosaurs and can’t wait to escape the farm and her abusive father. Big Al can bring all her dreams to reality...
Give this a try if you want:
- a contemporary-ish/fantasy world where humans and dinos coexist
- dinosaur/human pairing
- shorter novel
- you’re okay with every content warning
- you can’t wait to read phrases like “Big Al’s cylinder of love” and “meaty sauna of his breath”
- medium to high steam – there’s plenty of scenes in a short novel but they are short, not developed and not as explicit as I thought they’d be
Ages:
- Heroine is 17/18
First line:
Tanis climbed onto the biggest barn to watch the dinosaurs.
My thoughts:
I had to try it. This one I regret.
I read it a week or so ago and just went back through to put my notes into review form and realized my brain desperately tried to protect itself and forgot so many details.
I am all for weird stuff but this one was too much for me. The amount of blood making and licking wasn’t sexy like it has been for me in other novels. The plot is like a run on story without closure on so many aspects. There was a ton of sex but none of it actually good. I didn’t care about either character. The writing just didn’t grab me.
BUT I can say I did it. And that deserves some kind of award. I have read 3 of her books now and I actually liked Dino Stud. Triceratops and Bottoms was worse than this one in some ways.
Cock/Hero Stats:
- Our hero is an allosaurus
- 8 feet tall with iridescent feathers
- eyes of a deep green ocean
- cheekbones carved from prehistorical cliffs
- feathers on his head coiffed in a sexy and hip honky-tonk curl
- all dinosaurs have a communication device that allows them to speak telepathically with their humans
Quotes/thoughts:
You know the stories about male writers writing heroines bouncing boobily down the stairs? This screams that to me...
Tanis’ body was tight and lean from seventeen years of working alongside her father and brothers on their farm. Had she grown up in the city around men who were not her family, she might’ve known she was beautiful. She’d inherited her mother’s generous breasts and backside, but hard labour had crystallized her curves, made them more severe and striking.
---
She repeated the name out lout and telepathically. Big Al. It was so beautiful to her. So simple.
Content warnings:
- physically abusive family/father
- gunshot wound (heroine’s father tries to shoot Big Al but misses and hits her shoulder)
- amputation – after her father shoots her arm, she lets the dinosaur eat it
- possible feelings of infidelity – Big Al takes Tanis to his dino pod with his other women and goes and humps one in the bushes and then Tanis also has fun with a female there
- harassment/abusive coworkers/attempted sexual assault
- dino boyfriend eating period blood
- slaughterhouse and taking remnants for your dino boyfriend to eat
- murder/death

I received a digital galley of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for my honest feedback.
Full disclosure, I requested this title mostly as a joke, and because of a bit of morbid curiosity. I have seen tiktokers and book reviewers unhinged erotica before, and thought this would be kind of fun, or at the very least, good for a laugh or two.
This book was UNHINGED, and not in a good way.
We’re provided with a grocery list of content warnings early on. I’ll admit I had to google a couple of them, and the list was pretty long, so I didn’t read all of it… But I don’t think anything could have prepared me for this….
The writing style was so basic and terrible it felt like I was reading a story written by a preteen… Except for the content (or at least the x-rated content… a dinosaurs living among us story feels pretty on brand for a kid).
Plot-wise, holy shit….
For a story so short, it’s wild how much happens. You get a bit of whiplash with the speed the plot is progressing at, and I had to keep double checking that I didn’t accidentally skip a page. The scenes followed one another with almost no rhyme or reason. There was no flow, no logic, no sense to anything… It was honestly almost confusing, or it would have been if the sentence structure wasn’t so simple and the story wasn’t so… poorly crafted.
The sex scenes were written with the vigour and the vocabulary of a horny teenager writing fanfic after watching Jurassic World, and I’ll admit, I got a chuckle or two out of them.
Overall though, I was a bit disappointed, because there was nothing FUN in the book at all. With other popular ~deranged~ demon or monster or alien romances of late, at least it’s felt like there was some semblance of effort made in throwing together a plot, or readers get a laugh, or actually enjoy their read, but this didn’t even give me that, unfortunately.
To be clear: I am not judging the concept of an unhinged erotica, or a monster romance. I think there’s a lot of fun to be had in erotica as a genre, and I think a lot of people enjoy it. I’m all for finding passion in unexpected places, and reading for pleasure… or pleasure! Erotica or “spicy” romance books can be good, even great. It’s a genre that doesn’t take itself too seriously (which I love), nor does it demean or diminish its readers (which I love). This book was just…. a very big miss for me.
I was put off almost immediately by the, but there were also , tie that all in with an incoherent plot & poorly constructed sentences - the book was devoid of the joy and fun that I had hoped for.
I think there might be an audience for this book, but unfortunately it is not me.
I will say: I am OBSESSED with the cover. I would absolutely get that on a t-shirt, I am 10000% serious.
