I can't resist the ridiculousness of these books! I read one on a lark, but if you can just suspend reality for a few hours, this book is hilarious, entertaining, titillating - I keep coming back to Lola Faust's dino erotica! I gave it 4 stars just for the pure novelty and creativity. Read it!

I need to make this clear - it’s not five stars because it's GOOD. Its five stars because I went into this fairly sure it was going to be ridiculous... and it did NOT disappoint. The joy I received from how ridiculous this was? 10/10, much needed serotonin.

I literally don't even know what to say. What did I just read? Please stop. Even if this wasn't dinosaur smut it was still written badly.

I've been waiting with giving feedback for this book with hopes my thoughts would settle. It did not happen.

In full transparency, I've rated it one star on Goodreads, my second hand embarrassment and the topic of the story were too much for me and I had to pause a few times to calm down 😅 But here I'll rate it more fairly for what it is and what it told us it will be. I mean, if you've read the blurb, you know what you're going into and I wish you luck and strength. 😅 I was pleasantly surprised that this book had pretty nice plot besides being a dino smut. I'm glad I've read it as I've been curious for some time, but I won't dive into the next books by the Author. My respect though for the innovative idea.

This does what it sets out to do well. It's entertaining to read, and while I wouldn't say it's as well-plotted as many traditional novels, it hits all the marks I'd expect from the blurb and the title.

Again, this is an entertaining book. I laughed, and the absurdity of the erotic sections were fun to read. I'm not sure if people are out there actually reading these things for the reason many read erotica, but if you're just looking for something fun, raunchy, and entertaining to kill a couple of hours, you could do a lot worse.

This was such an unserious and funny book. I enjoyed how outrageous and melodramatic it was. I was actually chuckling as I read it. I chose it because I wanted to read nonsense that wouldn't take any mental or emotional depth to get through. It was not a good book by anyone's standard, but it made me laugh and took me out of my reading slump.

This was ridiculous and a fun read! I don't 100% understand why I wanted to read this so bad, but I'm glad I got an advanced copy. I noticed a couple of grammatical mistakes but it is an arc copy, and the dialogue was really good regardless!

well so this is erotica and very little story. I will say I felt confused a bit like I was missing part of the story or universe. I know its a standalone but still felt.. i needed a BIT of story. I really just need to know why dinosaurs had to smell fishy and meaty.. that made me really ummm not into the story.. I am totally okay with humans and fake animals/aliens/unconventional things. I suppose if you ever want to lose your arm, have dino sexy time and have him eat the rest of it off.. then this is your book.

I don't think I was the only one who thought this was at least gonna be fun (or at least funny) besides for the erotica (which is, unfortunately, for me, the main idea). This instead used overly dramatic situations as the gag/parody and was unexpectedly gorey (though it should have been expected because of the said carnivorous dinosaur). Thankfully, it was short, and the last chapter being about mental health was really good, and I wasn't aware of it (though I should have because it's the most logical thing).

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.

This was deranged and funny and a fast read. It tells the story of human/dinosaur love and the trials and tribulations that come with being an apex predator and a human facing judgement from the world and physical limitations. The chapters read like individual short stories, with issues to resolve in each. This makes it read a lot quicker too, despite only being a small book.

It is a good introduction to monster smut.

I would not recommend for everyone but to those who already read themes like this or want to dabble.

Thank you to Lola, the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC.

3.5⭐️ but I’ll round it up to a 4. This was so bonkers, I kinda lived for it 🦖🦕 this audio was SO MUCH FUN! I truly will never forget it.

Seriously unhinged and entertaining lol. This is a collection of stories of people enjoying……Dino….stuff….with humans. The end was not my cup of tea though

I expected to be unsure about this because of the fact its dinosaur smut but that was fine, the bad part was the fact the dinosaur ate off her arm and then throughout the book would "lick her nub" ... nope can't be done sorry no

After reading Dino Stud on NetGalley a couple of months ago I jumped at the chance to read Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer when it became available as a read now. I’ve a long admired the cover artist’s commitment to the bit with this surreal clinch cover. And now, after having finished the book, I am happy to report that anybody who sees that cover and thinks, “yes! I want to read about a world in which a dinosaur and a human are locked in a passionate embrace and also get it on outside of a fever dream I had once at burning man” will absolutely not be disappointed in any way.

I've read a few other niche erotica books for book clubs and wasn't afraid of this as a premise, but this was just bad. Generally, we get a bit of campy fun along with the spicy parts, to have something to hold onto. This book was poorly written and threw together a million misplaced tropes (flesh play, underage, etc) when the dinosaur could have been enough of a novelty. If it's your brand of fun, then you know it is and will enjoy it. If you are curious about niche erotica you will probably enjoy others more.

You know what? This wasn't the worst romance premise I've ever read...

All I'm gonna say, with the way they were going, Tanis is gonna end up a mangled bloody mess, like constant bleeding and tearing? I'm surprised she hasn't died of sepsis.

I feel like reviews on books like these carry little merit, because if you wanna read it, you're going to.

If you're curious, go ahead.

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial audio for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Is this the third Lola Faust, Dino Erotica that I've read? Yes. Do I regret anything? Nope.

Could have done without the arm eating but not gonna yuck anyone's yum.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and give an honest review.

I read the book and I also had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook version and first I just want to say that the narrator did an excellent job, maybe a little too excellent.

This was actually really hard to get through and I usually love these books because I get to laugh a whole bunch - but not with this one. It started off kind of funny but it's like the book kept jumping between taking itself too seriously and not at all, so it didn't work.

The only part that actually made me laugh was

"As Tanis' mind was boggling with her dinosaur lover having read Shakespeare."

I requested this out of sheer curiosity. I was thinking it was so outlandish, that perhaps it could be surprisingly good in a weird "Naked Gun funny" sort of way. It was actually disgusting. Is Lola Faust a pen name for a man? The misogynistic style of writing the female character had me cringing. But really this is a story about abuse. A woman who literally has her flesh eaten from her body, yet remains in a relationship with a beast who keeps taking and taking as she gives all she has until she's completely lost her identity. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. It's just sex, with an animal, and it is meant to be creepy. Okay. I'm not the reader for this, so I don't think I should be rating this book based on the story since perhaps this appeals to the genre.(?) I can, however, rate this book based on the writing. It's bad.

Wow. I'm going to make a video review for this work, but I thought I would share my two cents. This book is capably written; the author is actually proficient at satire. I'm not sure I enjoyed it liked it as much as I did the Tetris block erotica; it's not as humorous. If you are looking for something for the giggle factor - give it a try.
