It's dinosaur erotica. What else is there to say? You get what you're expecting.
It's over the top, satire (I hope). I was cracking up over certain parts and phrases. Others were a bit cringe: the arm thing.
This is a HEA but I'm sad it didn't result in Big Al just eating his human lover. Really could've had a twist ending right there. But I guess you couldn't list it in romance then.
This was better than Triceratops and Bottoms by far. Yes, I've read more than one dinosaur erotica book.

Holy crap this was so fun. This is very clearly a satirical take on monster romance, it’s obvious in the way the author describes everything and anything and because of this I had the time of my life with the book. I was literally laughing out loud.
I think if you enjoy unhinged and purposefully funny books, which if you’re grabbing this book I doubt your expecting a masterpiece, you can’t go wrong with this one. Very reminiscent of Chuck Tingles works.
The author really saw some of the most insane and wild quotes and moments in romance books (monster romance/erotica AND normal erotica) and decided, “you know what? I’m going to amp it up to hundred to show you guys what you’re reading is weird”. And I appreciate that! There were so many moments where I could think back to other books I’ve read and see what Lola Faust was going for with her interpretations.
Potentially fatal wound? Obviously we should treat it first, right? No! Sex first!
Impossible sexual positions or wild descriptions of anatomy that the authors really think are literary masterpieces?
I’ve seen that before. But then she takes it to the extreme and it’s hysterical.
Just a fun book all around.

Always say yes to the UNHINGED books! 5 stars for this unhinged goodness.
If you have read any Chuck Tingles work, I highly suggest giving this one a try,
If you're looking to have some fun, I would check this out.
It's like the most INTENSE fever dream. Nothing makes sense, but it sure is fun!!
Big Al is a Dinosaur and Tanis is a human.. the two run away to be together. Where they instantly fall in love and proceed to live out their life having infinite sex.
Big Al is blood thirsty.. this includes Tanis on her period.
*Thank you Netgalley for this audio ARC; however, this is my honest review*

You know what? This wasn't the worst romance premise I've ever read...
All I'm gonna say, with the way they were going, Tanis is gonna end up a mangled bloody mess, like constant bleeding and tearing? I'm surprised she hasn't died of sepsis.
I feel like reviews on books like these carry little merit, because if you wanna read it, you're going to.
If you're curious, go ahead.

I wanted to give this one star, but after careful deliberation, I realized that I read the title of this book, saw a Tiktok by thegremlinlibrarian detailing what happened in this book, and then still chose to read this in its entirety. This is no one fault but my own. It delivers what I claims to. A summer long Dinosaur bang fest. Extra star for leaving my stunned.

Beastiality. A lot of it.
I received a free copy from Netgalley for an honest review.
I know, I know! What the hell is this?!
I laughed out loud when I saw the the cover art and the title, curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't resist. Let it be known that I will read almost anything for the sake of excellent recommendations for book lovers.
To start us off, this is not a good book. This is the type of strange fiction that you find through a hushed section of the internet that people eventually openly laugh about because it's so strange and ridiculous – 'My Immortal' comes to mind – so much so that I can't tell if the author is genuinely serious about their writing or it's contemporary satire, given the Bookish community's resurgence of "spicy" content. This kind of thing isn't new, but it usually stays in its respected places on internet forums etc.
As you can guess from the cover, the book details a young woman named Tanis who falls for an Allosaurus called Big Al after he saved her from her grim and ghastly father. Before we have a chance to stick this in the pile of 'woman violates animal' we learn that dinosaurs are in fact just like humans with feelings and the ability to communicate telepathically due to some recently invented technology, this is followed by lust and unfortunately blood lust – it is a carnivore after all. The plot is very basic. A star-crossed lover, misunderstood trope that wraps up very quickly with very little personality from the characters other than they like each others naughty parts. Yes, I understand the point of an erotic novella but I would have loved some meat and bones to this story – not just the flesh from Tanis's unwanted suitors.
Thankfully the book is short, less than 100 pages. If anything I suggest you pick this up so you can be equally grossed out by this hysterical novel. (Sorry to all dino-lovers! – Literally) Best enjoyed in a group of not so squeamish and easily entertained friends.

What the heck did I just read. I believe that this may be the weirdest book I've ever read and that's saying something considering I've read some weird ones. The story follows Tansi who is a human who grew up on a farm and has a weird fascination with dinosaurs. Her love interests is Big Al who happens to be an allosaurus. It wasn't bad but wasn't good either. I just couldn't seem to stop reading.
