Okay this was weird. I knew what I was getting into and I love going down rabbit holes but I guess I finally reached my limit with dino smut. So I don’t think I’m the right person for this book. The writing was okay, it’s just the dino part. 😅
I mean… I don’t really have the words for this. I’m not going to lie, I was strongly encouraged to download to share the best bits with friends. But there weren’t any best bits. Apart from the obvious odd concept (which I don’t mind tbh, as long as everyone involved can consent and is also of age then whatever floats your boat), the main character was more like a blow up doll come to life. No depth or personality. Just an insatiable need for dinosaurs. All the dinosaurs. I can’t bring myself to share what I’ve read with my friends because I just didn’t find anything notable to share. It’s either a zero stars read or a five star piece of conceptual art. I don’t know which so am going for three stars.
Listen, I knew what I was getting into, I severely lowered my expectations, and I was still let down. Yall are mad weird for this.
Even ignoring that this is Dino porn, the writing is rough.
Did I enjoy this book? A simple no would be an understatement. I was thoroughly uncomfortable.
Why? I like to believe I have an open mind to all things 'weird' but this is definitely well past my acceptable limits. I'm not even judging anyone who enjoyed this book - you do you boo boo - but I could NOT get past the thought that I was reading romanticized graphic anthropomorphized beastiality...ick.
Why not 5 stars? Even giving this one star feels icky.
Is it spicy? Uhh...I guess
Is it smutty smut smut? Pretty sure it's supposed to be
This was definitely what I expected but also was very interesting. I never knew how sensual dinosaurs were also so communicative. I saw someone post this and I sent it to my friend. Couldn't enjoy alone.
Points for creativity!
Thank you netgalley
Before picking this book up, you must set aside any expectation of any semblance of reality. Then, and only then, should you dive in to this utterly ridiculous, yet hilarious and entertaining tale of dinosaur erotica in which Erin travels back in time for a series of titillating encounters with the prehistoric creatures. After zipping throught this quick-read novella, I couldn't resist checking out the other titles by this author.
I knew what I was getting into. I have no regrets.
It is absolutely ludicrous and the typos/formatting issues were magnificent.
I gave it an extra star because I had so much fun messaging my bestie and my romance pals about every single absurd thing I read. It is a journey best enjoyed with others to partake in the misery. Do I recommend? Absolutely not. Will I read Ms. Faust the next time she rolls across Netgalley? Probably.
was okay of a book. i will read more of Lola Faust books. this series is different and if you want to read a quick one, this one is it.
I honestly can't believe I read this. Does the job if dino sex is your thing I guess but not for me.
Triceratops and Bottoms
by Lola Faust
This book is totally what it says it is. A dinosaur erotica book. The first line in the book description is: 'She was a time-traveling sexaholic in search of the ultimate dinogasm!'
I found this smut story fun and enjoyable even though it was quite short with minimal plot.
The copy I received via NetGalley had some typos/formatting issues hopefully these were corrected before the book was published.
Thank-you to author Lola Faust, BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

If anything, this is an amazing book to read for a good laugh but oh my god. I wanted to read this truly out of pure curiosity because I thought it looked hilarious but I was not at all ready to read the descriptive details of a triceratops giving head. This is wild.
This was so ridiculous I don't even really know how to appropriately rate it.
Dinosaur erotica...wow.
I accessed this title in the Read Now section of NetGalley. I thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an egalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
Not that anyone was really begging for this to happen, but I am back with another installment of dinosaur erotica. The first five stories Triceratops and Bottoms, My Boyfriend is a Plesiosaur, Mile High Pterodactyl Club, A Carnotaurus for Christmas, and My Sexy Supersaurus feature Erin and her adventures. The bonus story Tyrannosaurus Sext is about Alice, a woman who finally meets up with the talking T-Rex that she has been texting.
After reading Dino Stud, I had to pursue the writing of Lola Faust. In this collection of short stories, as I mentioned above we meet Erin, a woman living in a future where technology has so advanced, she has a lot of leisure time on her hands. This might be a little bit of nepotism on my part BUT I do adore it when the female protagonist and I share a name. Erin, our protagonist is very sexually frustrated( so much so that she spends a lot of these stories naked) and luckily has a time-traveling belt to seek new mates( not really what I would do if I had a time-traveling belt but this is a judgment-free zone).
Sometimes she'd simply wake up craving sex and intense orgasms, so much that she'd just pack her bag and head off on a nomadic, hedonistic adventure off-world.
Now, you might be asking me "Well, Erin, surely there are some alien species that the protagonist can seek out?" My friends, there are, but our protagonist has already had a mind-blowing orgy with a large crowd of bisexual blue-skinned aliens. She's looking for something a little crazier. Starting with virtual simulation and engaging in erotic play with dinosaurs, get Erin thinking " What if I traveled back to the Jurassic Period and engaged in the real thing?"
What ensues is the most mind-boggling series of erotica stories that I have ever encountered but like a car accident, I just couldn't look away. The writing isn't really that great but I found it entertaining and humorous.

It was exactly what I expected from dinosaur erotic. But I wasn't expecting the other short stories in the book as it seemed like it would just be one. The individual stories as a whole is an interesting idea but the writing style didn't help to keep my attention.
Much research has been devoted to the study of dinosaurs, but there's still so much we don't know—questions that might never be solved without the use of a time machine. In "Triceratops and Bottoms," Erin gets access to just that...and she discovers that the hidden truth is that dinosaurs are every bit as horny as she is. Shenanigans ensue.
Now...when I read "Dino Stud," I noted that the three things I'd like to see more of were dinosaurs, smuttiness, and camp. "Triceratops and Bottoms" delivers on every one of those wishes, and I regret everything.
Let's be clear: I can't fault the book. I had a good idea of what I was getting into, I was not expecting a Pulitzer contender, and I'm never not going to find it hilarious that dinosaur erotica exists. This particular book is as camp as any girl could dream of—gigantic breasts and everything—and I am left with all sorts of questions about dinosaur anatomy that I honestly wish had never occurred to me and do not want answered.
If you're looking for the dino-erotica-lite experience, go with "Dino Stud." I cannot believe I am saying this, but it is downright vanilla by comparison. But if you're looking for full-frontal erotic dino adventures on land, earth, and sea...well. You'll find all of that here. Make of that what you will. (Perhaps also a good fit for fans of the podcast "My Dad Wrote a Porno.")
Thanks to the author and publisher for providing a review copy through NetGalley.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️ 1 star for the fun of harassing everyone in my messenger with quotes
Plot/Storyline: 📖 this makes barely any sense
Feels: 🦋
Emotional Depth: 💔 I still don’t even know this person or anything about their background
Tension: ⚡
Romance: 💞
Sensuality: 💋💋 I mean… the triceratops love scene on the beach was the most developed thing about this book lol
Intimate Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑
Steam Scale (Number of Scenes): 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥? Maybe? I didn’t count them. They aren’t super long or developed but there is a variety for sure.
Humor: This whole thing is hilarious whether it meant to me or not.
Perspective: Third person from Erin for most of the book, except the bonus story at the end which was randomly from a person named Alice??
Basic plot:
Erin uses a newly developed time machine to bring her hoohah to the prehistorical era.
Give this a try if you want:
- dino smut – Erin goes and has multiple affairs with various dinosaur species
- higher steam – dino love is the focus of this story
- this does include a threesome with another human, Kim, that goes with Erin to assist a supersaurus
- you’ll have to be okay with a decent amount of formatting and spelling errors
- you want to say you read a dino smut book titled Triceratops and Bottoms. Come on, you know you wanna...
My thoughts:
Whyyyyy do I do this to myself?? I should have glanced at reviews first because I had the same issues as many others.
The formatting errors are unfortunate because that was rough for me. Almost every page had weird page breaks along with the title “Triceratops and Bottoms” and the chapter section interspersed in the text and it made it really hard to read. Harder than dinosaur smut should ever have to be!
I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece. I wasn’t expecting historical accuracy. I did want it to be readable though…
The most developed story is the love affair on the beach with the triceratops. Except the heroine named her triceratops Cera! Huh??? Why would you do that to anyone that watched The Land Before Time???
Honestly I thought that was all I was going to get was triceratops love. BUT I GOT SO MUCH MORE! I had no idea there were other titles within this story, including My Boyfriend is a Plesiosaur, Mile High Pterodactyl Club, A Carnotaurus for Christmas, My Sexy Supersaurus…
My favorite part was reading about how Erin got banned from time traveling for harassing the dinosaurs. Don’t worry though, life finds a way and she’s able to go back for more dinosaur -d-
I got Dino Stud at the same time as this one and I am just hoping it’s better than this.
My first venture into dinosaur smut and I didn’t hate it. Now this isn’t as graphic as some smut I’ve read, and honestly was pretty tame. The dinosaurs can understand and even communicate with noises? It’s not bad for some Dino novellas. Because they are all short you don’t get a lot of story development, if that’s what you’re looking for, I would go with time travel dinosaur smut. It’s a bit silly, a bit sexy, and bit wild. First and last story has the most detail. Fun and ridiculous is what I’d call it.
This book is exactly what the title says.
It's abit confusing to imagine how the "spice" happens but all in all it was a quick and easy read.
I wished I could take back the time that I wasted reading this book. Sorry, but this book is just not for me
I'm not even sure what to say about this book! LOL! I didn't have high expectations going into it, and I was still disappointed. The story bounces around like a third grader wrote it. Dinosaur smut is not my thing, but I was hoping at least for a bit of a fun story. It was hard to follow what was happening, and it definitely needs someone to go in and give it a thorough spelling and grammer check.
