O-kay. . . I don't know how to review this.
I had an idea what I was getting into with just the description alone. Dinosaur Erotica. Says it all right?
Well this was beyond what I was expecting.
The non-smut plot/worldbuilding is actually intriguing - a population where dinosaurs have been revived and are capable of communication with humans, working alongside them is quite interesting. I could have listened to an entire story following just that for hours.
As for the spice. . . Holy Moley. It was a battle between outright laughter and complete confusion about the mechanics of some of the scenarios. There were times when I had to pause just to re-collect myself as the dinosaur/human ahem smexy stuff was outrageous. Honestly without the mention of his feathers or other dino features, I kept forgetting and was picturing Big Al as human.
Overall it was a fun listen, and I appreciated the chance to explore a genre I haven't read yet.

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.
