I don’t know exactly what I was expecting but it was more than what I got. I know this is essentially monster smut and I understand that but I wish that Tristan had been at least part-human or at least capable of turning human on occasion. He couldn’t even talk! And Nellie kept saying “Tristan said”. HOW? HOW DID HE SAY? And I’m going to need a little more character development and backstory.

I’ve just read some books like these that had a little more thought put into the plot. And I understand that it’s all tongue-in-cheek but I was a little disappointed. Though the part where he eats her creepy ex-friend was pretty good.

Listen, I DNFed this.

I think we are past the idea that a woman can be so sex starved she can barely work, aren't we? I loved this idea - and was ready for heavy spice - but you've got to create a well-adjusted, relatable FMC. Not one who is only defined as horny.

For what it's worth, I would have loved to promote this wacky little book to my followers. It's just I can't possibly recommend it when it reads like a teenager's diary.

I have never read anything by this author, but I will be looking out for other books they write in the future. I really enjoyed the story as well as the pacing of the story.

Terrific concept and cover art. More for people who have read Fifty Shades of Gray (which I have not).

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC. My opinions are my own.

I have a term for books like this. "Fast-food literature". It is when you know it will not be anything mind blowing, life changing, or something you dare recommend to others. Even keeping a copy on your shelves is risky in this case. But these kinds of books have their place.

I like a little "fast-food" book every now and again. Is it only 3 stars? Yes. Did I enjoy it greatly? Oh, yes. Is this basically just a Mary-Sue fantasy filled with "corn"? Yeah ...

This is a nasty, weird, Mary-Sue, too many variants of the same word, fanfiction level writing, type of book. I adore it for all of its aspects.

If you are a weirdo like me and can appreciate this for what it is, read it. You will cringe and not believe a single thing happening, but you will enjoy yourself.

Final ranking and star rating?
3 stars, C tier. Such a creative book. I would love to pry into the author's mind ... Recommended to weirdos, not recommended to normies. Until now I had not read any Lola Faust books, but I am definitely finding the rest.

Spicy, contemporary, office "romance." This involved a virgin with religious shame going hog wild sexually with a number of people and a dinosaur with tiny little arms. It felt a bit like beastiality because the dinosaur doesn't talk. Somehow the executive assistant communicates with him and relays information? When he SPOILER ALERT pulls out a velvet box and mrred he finally felt more intelligent but that happens at the very end.
The word "tigress" was used 17 times.

This was a sweet and spicy read with a splash of blood and a crunch of gore. A great palette cleanser if you need something short and steamy!
The main character is a sheltered virgin waiting for just the right person to go feral for and that happens to be her beautiful coworker and dinosaur boss. I am confused about how the dinosaur supposedly can't talk at all, and doesn't communicate with our main character through writing or anything, but the other character will often say he told her things, and also he managed to become a billionaire. Also, I would have a field day going over this book with a red pen for all the grammar issues and sentences left incomplete. It seems like it was half edited in a rush.
I did find the characters to be sweet and loveable. Faust managed to pack a lot of character into a small story. Overall worth the read!

Thoughts:
-I was not expecting Tristan (Christian Grey but in Dino form) to be a literal dinosaur the whole time.
-How is he a billionaire and communicating his “desires” when he actually can’t speak?
-The goats being brought into a high rise office building?
-So so many questions but a bonkers and smutty read

Wow...um. that was a crazy smexy book. The end.
But seriously, I wasnt exactly sure what I was getting into and it was a bit much for me, but I have to say the writing wasn't bad.
I appreciate what the author was trying to do here, but I think I could have handled it better if it was a shifter book. Thank you for the opportunity!

Not what I expected from this. I was hoping for something more witty to have me laughing out loud. Instead it felt like Fifty Shades of Gorgosaur was just straight up weird. I'm giving it 3 stars because I am sure there are people out there that would enjoy this book, it simply was not for me.

1.5⭐️
My friends and I made a whole night of reading this book together. It was short, easy to read, and we got through it quickly and with lots of laughs.. and lots of cringes. Giving it more than one star only because I don’t think it’s trying to be more than it is necessarily, but I still think it could have been much better.

If you’re in it for the extreme ridiculousness, and doing something similar to what my friends and I did, I could see the appeal. However, the book itself wasn’t what I would think of as good. Not even in terms of a humor read. The word usage was strange and often cringey. The scenarios equally strange and cringey. The romance was non existent. This was definitely erotica over romance, which is totally fine, just more of an observation. I am wildly confused by much of the story and am left with so many questions. Mostly about how the “MMC” is a billionaire? Or holds meetings? Or communicates at all? It was just very strange and for me not particularly sexy.

Go into this one understanding what you’re getting. I had fun with my friends, but I would never read this again or recommend it as a genuine read.

Well, that was certainly something. I was more annoyed by the writing than the billionaire dinosaur businessman somehow...

I pick this up solely for the fun ridiculousness of it all, and it was a lot of fun.

These books are totally bonkers, steamy, and laugh-out-loud funny, I started reading Lola Faust Dino erotica books as a palette cleanser after an extreme horror book, and found them to be a lot of ridiculous fun, and this book is the 3rd of hers I’ve read, and I have noticed that the writing is getting smoother, and more polished.

I did a few eye rolls at all the different words one could use to describe their lady bits, but that was part of the fun.

This book was very quick and easy to read.

So If you always thought Juristic Park needed a cross species love affair, or if you thought 50 shades of Grey needed a dinosaur, that this is the book for you.

Short spicy. It is what it is really. It’s Dino smut. Funny and an easy read. Easy for the goodreads challenge

I want it to be a Christmas tradition at this point to read a new Lola Faust book. Last year it was Utahraptor and this year it's the Gorgosaur, who takes a backseat in his own book, to my surprise. The romance in this one is a three-way explicit closed polyamorous relationship where they get happily married as a trio at the end. Let me just say this: EL James could never. Enthusiastic consent, clear and concise contracts, and no Oedipus complex for poor tortured abusive "actually a switch" billionaire boy. Honestly the dinosaur not showing up much surprised me since I'm a big Faust fan, this one focused way more on the human relationship between the two women. It's unrealistic as usual but the caring and interesting dynamic between the two women was really neat. I think Faust could definitely write some good non-dinosaur parodies as well if it took her fancy.

Overall, another hilarious romp with dinos. Don't read this if you're not willing to suspend your disbelief and laugh along, it's not meant to be realistic classic-quality literature.

If you are a fan of smut and want a quick and entertaining read, then look no further! Is it far fetched and ridiculous? Of course! It’s dinosaur love! You should know what you signed up for. Particularly fascinating are all of the ways to refer to her… goods. And you may never look at a pumpkin spice latte’s the same way again. But all that aside, it is a story of a young woman finding her own way in the world, finally catching a break, healing from trauma, and being given the opportunity to explore her unhinged fantasies. You can’t help rooting for her and her mysterious billionaire boss. And while the content seems out there, the diction and flow of the story keeps you hooked. It’s the perfect escapism if you are looking for a light read between books!

Lola Faust books are such a delightful palette cleanser for keeping up reading momentum! They are entertaining and not very long. The premise is most certainly going to be something ridiculous, and they are definitely spicy. I always look forward to the newest title when I see it on NetGalley, and I would 100% buy one of these as a gift for a friend or even for myself if I saw them at a bookstore. Thanks NG, Publisher, and Lola for continuing to put out pure filth (meant in the best way possible, of course!)

What did I just read?! I mean wtf did I just read?!

It’s definitely a quick read. Something mindless of you need a break between reads.

Think Fifty Shades the woman signs a contract with a billionaire to be only his. End of the similarities. And while we are at it let’s throw in a twist he’s a dinosaur and the other assistant is part of the package deal.

Things got weird.

I could’ve done without the goat scenes and Kyle.

Three stars only because it wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t fantastic either.

Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read this.

Thank you to NetGalley for a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

For a Fifty Shades dinosaur parody, the dino action came (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) too little too late.

This is a classic to be! Better than the original. With dinosaurs. Love it!
