Not quite funny enough to be satire, not sexy enough to be fun.
The cover is amazing, but beyond that this was just not... enough for me.

I have heard a lot of rumbles about Lola Faust's books and I wanted to check it out for myself. This was...not that bad? In terms of the story, it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. The story follows Tallulah, a self-proclaimed "dinosaur lover" who travels to a super-secret dinosaur ranch to hopefully become a summer intern. There she meets Reid, the elusive supposed to be dead owner of the ranch who takes an immediate liking to Tallulah.

Reid has many secrets and at the climax/twist happens so fast that even Tallulah just goes with it and doesn't even bat an eye. There is only one spicy scene so if you're looking for something more you will be disappointed.

Underwhelming for a book with a cover like that, the heroine's name was hard to read. But still an interesting enough distraction.

I really expected more from this one since I enjoyed the first book! For a dinosaur erotica novel it lacked the spark I expected and it was very tame.

A cute abs easy novella. Something kinda random to read to say you read something random. The cover is defo the biggest selling point.
It’s a perfect cover.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This is a quick and easy read that will help you relax your brain. 70% of the book is the FMC simping for the MMC. Not even that much erotica. Cute and easy.

Dino Stud is a novella that won't tax the brain, but will make you look at dinosaurs in a whole new way. Quirky, erotic but not explicit, this is a fun and frivolous romp.

Tallulah Cole is a phD palaeontology student determined to gain a summer placement at The Ranch - a secretive dinosaur research facility run by the renowned expert Reid Canmore.

What Lulu doesn't expect is to fall in instant lust with the man.

Warned not to pursue him, she is nevertheless unable to stop her feelings from growing. And when it's clear he feels the same way, they are powerless to resist.

But a containment alarm leads to a late night confession that will shock Lulu. But will love and lust conquer all?

This book was kind of strange and felt like it was rushed or missing important details. I had trouble getting into it and understanding why the characters would choose to do any of the things they did.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Creative and taught me about dinosaurs. I was kind of let down by the climax of the book if you will.
The build up was fun and interesting. Then meh. The end seemed rushed.

3 stars for creativity and keeping my attention

While the cover for this book is fun and campy, the book is anything but. It barely makes sense. Tallulah shows up to the Dino Ranch, is imprisoned for a hot second, asks for a job and then is immediately hired. I know this is supposed to be a short and fun romance but every single plot point in this book strains credulity.

This was such a fun read, it was a lot different from Lola fausts other books but in a good way I loved the banter between Reid and tallulah , the mystery behind Reid and the ranch plus who doesn’t love a romance with mixed with Jurassic park? Plus getting a complete story. The only thing I did not like was it took a really long time for the spice and it was very short scene.

2.5 stars

This book was crazy, wacky, complete absurdity. It was an overall good time, a simple, short, steamy romp. I enjoyed the unique twist with the dinosaurs. However there was a bit too much that just didn't make sense in any way. It kept pulling me out of the story. There were some really cringey parts too. It also felt like Rowan was thrown in simply for the sake of "inclusion" (use of they/them pronouns) Overall, for such a short story, it was okay. Entertaining and weird.

I started reading this book while I was in bed with the flu, drugged up and in desperate need of entertainment. I knew this book would be corny, but I didn’t think it would be boring?

This book gives of the same vibe as a Christian romance novel… except there are dinosaurs and one god awful sex scene. The most likable character is Rowan who is so damn fed up they quit at the end of the story.

The gist is almost nothing happens except immediate intense lust for no reason, and then at 84% of the way through they have sex out of wedlock (a sentence straight to hell in this Christian romance), a T-Rex hybrid attacks her but goes away because SURPRISE Reid actually died and now his body is inhabited by T-Rex hybrid DNA and since he came in her the other dinosaurs think she’s the boss around there.

YEP THATS IT! Saved you all some time.

This one was interesting, but not as steamy or bonkers as I thought it was going to be! I’d really be into more of these Dino adventures. The cover is a work of art, and immediately made me want to read this. If you’re looking for quick, fun read, this should do the trick.

Look, you get exactly what you expect, LOL!

If you're looking for a coherent plot, emotional stakes, or a hero with depth, you're in the wrong place, but if you want a quick dino-errotic romp featuring a bonkers sci-fi twist, look no further! Yeah, it's absurd. No, the character's aren't well developed, but honestly, who cares? LOL. So sit back, pick up this sexy dino-romance, and slip into this Jurassic Park inspired sex-fest. Happy reading!

I really enjoyed this story but some things weren’t my cup of tea. I enjoyed the little love story, but couldn’t fully get into it. Greatly written

This is truly just a cute and fun read. I love it. I love when books are able to have fun and create a super unique setting. The twist at the end was surely unexpected, but other than that it was a delightful little read.

This was an entertaining read about a girl who loves dinosaurs finding her perfect match. If you love quirky storylines and falling in love you will likely enjoy Dino Stud. I’m not sure I would call it erotica with only one true love scene but the genre of Dinosaur Erotica was what peaked my interest. Overall, not sorry I took the time to read this one and will look out for more from Lola Faust.

Not what I really expected. It's a quick read and entertaining but not what I was hoping for. I do like this author so of course I will continue to read her!

I accessed this on NetGalley read now. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

Dinosaurs are her life. But will they be the death of her?

Aspiring paleontologist Tallulah Cole thought she'd won the lottery with a summer job at the Dino Ranch, the most advanced dinosaur research facility in the West -- and with its brilliant and gorgeous chief scientist, Reid Canmore. But the Ranch holds secrets in its forested acres and pristine laboratories. Is it love that's awakening... or something much darker?

The book had an interesting concept. The characters were mostly interesting. I feel like Tallulah was instant lust for Reid, and that was on the constant forefront of her thoughts. But beings that this is labeled as Dino Erotica, there wasn’t really much erotica. Slow burn. It also wasn’t as fantasy as I’d assumed. All in all it was kind of slow and just not really for me.
