 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.

Thank you to #NetGalley and BooksGoSocial Audio for the opportunity to listen to and review this title.
