What ride. I did not realize this was a collection of short stories. I enjoyed the great amount of detail put into the description of each dinosaur.

The stegosaurus is my favorite because he has two…..members. And he understands love. Win win amiright?

The first story pissed me off- how dare he boink her, eat her arm, and then run off with another woman?!

Fun reads. I’ll keep reading them.

What started off as the torrid affair of a wistful Albertan farm girl and a hard on his luck allosaurus, ended as a touching ode to American industry and interspecies romance. Well done (unlike Big Al's meat)

Definitely a thing that now exists. This is hilarious and the only kind of erotica I read, just the fun ones that aren't even remotely possible to happen in real life.

This was a quick read that was well written and absolutely bonkers in the best way possible. The storyline was unique and the commentary quite interesting.

Get yourself a man that will eat the amputated remains of your arm that was mostly shot off by your father... I guess?

Look, I went into this knowing it was going to be 99 levels of crazy, and it was. It really, really was.

I don't think I have ever been so thoroughly horrified and entertained in my life. I don't regret reading this, though I am definitely not going to feel weird or guilty about anything else I read for this year because this is...

It's a book.

About dinosaurs. And having sex... with dinosaurs.

I don't even know where to start in terms of a rating...

Never before have I been so gifted by a book. A full short story collection of some of the most cursed stuff I have read? Sign me up! Anything you could ever want from a dinosaur romance and then more. I was both horrified and amused the whole time. 10 out of 10 would read again.
Lola Faust, I am obsessed with your mind.

Another winning book by Lola Faust, it had what I enjoyed about the previous two books that I read of the author. It worked well as a Dinosaur erotic and it worked in what I was looking for. The characters were interesting and I enjoyed getting to go on this journey. I look forward to read more from Lola Faust.

Dino 🍆s and a love story for the eras - the prehistoric era.

This plot was wild… and that’s coming from someone who read a MM romance about shapeshifting balloon animals!

Honestly, it was a super fun read and I thought the writing was good. Fast-paced and SO imaginative. I found myself frequently laughing out loud at this amazing world that Lola Faust built.

It is an Insta-sex read and you get right to the good stuff. I don’t know if I would classify it as a HEA ending though.

I knew this was going to be fun as soon as I saw this cover. Spoiler alert: It did not disappoint!

Tanis was a simple country girl, desperate to escape life on the farm. Big Al was everything she was lusting for... a sexy bad boy carnosaur from the wrong side of the food chain. Would their forbidden love tear her family-- or her flesh-- apart?

Was this review helpful?

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This... might be one of the strangest reading experiences I've ever had. Nevertheless, as a previous reviewer stated, I found myself craving more by the end of it. While the book comes in at a slim 56 pages, it is nevertheless action-packed. True to its genre, there are a fair number of sex-scenes, but unlike other bits of erotica I've read, this book still had a fair bit of plot jammed in between the smut.

Big Al was a lovable character, slowly learning more about human mores and expectation. Tanis is a compelling protagonist, coming into her own and very much taking charge where need be. She's here to protect her... Dino Man even as he protects her in turn. They were a good interspecies pair, and the author was careful to portray the dinosaurs as just as intelligent as humans to avoid any iffy consent issues. Also, very much appreciated the content warnings at the front, even if they are baffling to read.

Lola Faust is a fun author, and I'd be happy to read more of her. Also, kudos to include the beautiful (and likely scientifically accurate!) plumage on the dinos. Pity that isn't on the cover. But hey, the more feathered dinos we get the better.

I'm not going to lie I got this book as a joke cause I thought it would be fun to make fun of it but I actually really enjoyed it. The author clearly knows exactly what this book is and doesn't take it to seriously and that made this a really fun read. Sure I was laughing a lot but it was because I was just having a really good time. The spicy scenes were actually pretty good and the drama was fun. I would actually love to read this as a full length novel. I am eager to see what else this author has.

Was this review helpful?

This was...shockingly well-written, with commentary on respecting unconventional relationships and on the American workforce. Alongside the passionate dinosaur smut.

Was this review helpful?

Um.

This book is almost defying my ability to review it. I don't know whether to give it one star or five stars. It's one of the worst things I have ever read.

And yet it was stupidly entertaining.

It was only a short novella. I don't know if I could have dealt with a full length novel, but the plot (such as it was) did feel a bit rushed.

It's full of romantic erotica clichés and amazingly terrible euphemisms and girls who don't know they are beautiful but are, and a hot allosaurus lover with an Elvis quiff... unfortunately for the entire book I was imagining a tall man in a T Rex costume since my brain couldn't comprehend how a full size allosaurus and a woman could do the do. And these are images my brain did not need in it.

It's funny. It's entertaining. It's awful, but (I think) self-consciously so.

Dinosaur love on a whole other level !

A fellow book lover recommended this book to kick a reading slump stating this was unlike anything I would have ever read. I don’t tend to read spicy books but after reading the reviews were all found this bizarrely entertaining- how could I not?!?

The Verdict - everyone was absolutely right.

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?!?
Maybe not quite as much as our protagonist but I digress.

This book was completely unexpected!

Plot itself was pretty good. It was a head game on how exactly this would work out - ummm - It really is infeasible. All in all this book made me laugh out loud. I absolutely recommended reading the authors note at the beginning for triggers - one of which is Canada. Too funny!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for this advanced read.

Dinosaur smut at it's finest! I have read a few other books from this author and I can see the progression in her writing and appreciate it for what it is.

Very creative crossover of human/dinosaur interactions and domestication. Yes, it's erotica, but had a plot and was interesting between the sex scenes.

Was this review helpful?

Love the cover! If you're wanting a quick nonsensical erotica read then this is your book.

In this Futuristic Fantasy Tanis is a young woman who has always dreamed of the dinosaurs she sees from a distance while working on her family farm. Big Al is a dino who lusts after Tanis, thus starts their adventure.

They go through a number of trials to be together but in the end love and dino sex wins the day.

If you were looking for a literary classic go to your nearest search engine and type 'top 100 books of all time' but if you were looking for a short, fun, and yes absurd fantastical erotica read this definitely could fill that bill.

So fun! I can't wait for the next one from this author!

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

OK, PLEASE HEAR ME OUT. I decided to read this just to get my NetGalley feedback ratio up, then immediately thought it was the weirdest shit (tbh, the arm thing is just the tip of the iceberg and it truly is The Weirdest Shit), but I will say that this book kept me on my toes and in the end it turned out to be quite endearing?! Like, I kinda loved the sweet way Big Al spoke to Tanis?!? And if you can get past said weird shit, I think you'll see it's really a story about — and this is the part where you REEEACH for these with me — love conquering all, overcoming prejudice, and the importance of allyship, among other salient points?!?!? Oh my god I can't believe I'm typing all of this and I feel 100% blindsided or bamboozled or whatever, and I am way too old for this jfc, but holy shit, 4 stars for the wild ride.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the chance to review! (I say as though I'm not totally confused on what I just read)

SO....that happened? I'm bewildered in the best way possible and I think I enjoyed it? This was a wild read, fraught with danger, weird technology and Wal-Mart? Also I don't know how to censor the word for this, but the scene where someone was up to their elbows in Tannis? That was unexpected? Weirdly, I think I would read this again, though I couldn't tell you why. At the very least, I was laughing myself to death throughout, and that made it worth it. Well done Lola Faust (which also, your last name literally means fist and if that's not ironic idk what is)

Oops!... I DID IT AGAIN!

The third Lola Faust dinosaur erotica went down quite smoothly. This one is about Tanis, a young Albertan who is rescued from her father's brutality by Big Al, a dinosaur with a great libido. Honestly, I was never a big dinosaur fan as a kid( though I adored Land Before Time) but I do find these stories quite entertaining.

If you don't take yourself too seriously as a reader, give them a go! And if anyone gives you a hard time about reading dinosaur erotica, remind them you could be doing drugs!

Obviously, this book won't be for everyone but for me. I enjoyed it. If you enjoyed the dragons bride by Katee Robert or Ice Planet Barbarians Ruby Dixon, give this one a shot.

Always check the content warnings before diving in.

Some books are so over the top that could become cult. This is one of those stories. I'm not a fan of erotica but I had fun in reading this book.

Absolutely ridiculous and bonkers and Dino porn but I cackled out loud and the worst bit was the “she didn’t know she was beautiful” gambit. Quick naughty and odd.

Note: The version of the book I received/read didn't contain any short stories, just the full "Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer" book and newly written conclusion.

The version I read of “Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer” by Lola Faust is an updated version with a solid ending for the main characters Tanis (human female) and Big Al (Allosaurus male). I’m going to be really honest - for a first book this one is out there. It’s a novella in length. It’s in a unique niche - dinosaurs and erotica. Again, I applaud Ms. Faust for writing in this genre - it’s different. Ms. Faust has done research on dinosaurs and while it wasn’t as obvious in this book, she knows a bit about them. If you’re reading this book for serious reading, please put it down and back away. If you want a quick read (again I read this book on a treadmill at the gym) where you sometimes laugh aloud at some of the situations (the Allosaurus knew of a commune in Canada - leaving it there) and maybe get a bit weirded out at the mental image of Tanis and Big Al having fun in a horse trailer … ya know, it’s a fun quick read. And the cover - can we talk about that throwback cover? Gorgeous! Again, don’t take this book too seriously and enjoy the romping about … PS - the book starts with a list of trigger warnings and I nearly spat out my water seeing “Canada” listed. It’s a fun read, people … and rather funny in places too.

** spoiler alert ** So apparently even dinosaurs are unfaithful???

I’d previously heard about it and I recently got a free copy to read.

The dino has a software engineer degree. Dinos can communicate with humans. The MC Tanis falls for the dinosaur. Logistically there’s so many questions to be addressed but the story is pretty straightforward.

My only complaint would be the MC being 17. It costs nothing to make the MC older. The story still works if she’s older.

Also in the epilogue they propose a plan to have dinosaurs replace humans in slaughterhouses? What’s going to happen to all the human workers??? We have to be replaced by ROBOTS AND DINOSAURS??? Also this is never kind of explained but why didn't they put the communication device on other animals? I will say it is totally human of us to revive dinosaurs and immediately try to put them to work

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. All opinions are my own.

Although the preface did warn me of what to expect, it was still a little jarring. Completely different from the last book I reviewed by Lola Faust which was slow burn with little smut. This had smut starting right awaway, which I'll be honest, had me googling dino penises and wondering if this was humanly possible. Was she a virgin first? I think so. Yeah I think I need a middle ground smut book that doesn't give me questionable Google history. It was well written, just not my thing. Will I read the next one ?yes. Do I find it erotic? No. Do I find it entertaining?yes, very much so

Was this review helpful?

Absolutely stellar read. I'm not entirely sure how you review quite possibly the most depraved smut I've ever read. I knew I was onto a winner when the worlds most comprehensive trigger warning list made me giggle.

It is definately, well...an acquired taste and not for the squeamish. If blood and gore make you feel faint, I would give it a wide berth. If you are looking to genuinely get your rocks off, having not read a great deal of monster smut, I am unsure whether this will do the job.

If however, you are looking for something that makes you want to bleach your brain afterwards, then this certainly fits the bill.

Do I have a new dinosaur sex kink - absolutely not. Would I read something else by the author in future? Possibly.

It's certainly different, you can give it that.

5/5 for the novelty.

Ok get ready for a massive backflip! (My 2 stars just went to 5!)

I initially read this book and was disappointed about the abrupt end to the story.

It is now being re-released (Thanks NetGalley for the ARC) in its full glory!!!!

So where the initial book ended very abruptly, this point is now the end of chapter 2!

Start with the content Warnings, they are hilarious and give very good context to the book. This book is bonkers, and ridiculous and may be a lil bit squicky in some places... but it is both a story in its own right and a parody of Monster Romance as a genre...

We start with "But, Daddy, I love him!", followed by and escape to a Love Cult, followed by "on the run", and ending up in Dinosaur becomes Self Made Man.

I found myself laughing out loud at a number of points.

This is perfect for people who want to read something a bit out there, and Chuck Tingle fans!

Was this review helpful?

It seems to me that the book is an anthology, but I only received one story in my digital review copy, “Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer”. This story delivers on its promises. There is erotica and there is science fiction. And since I knew from the description what to expect in terms of story, I was not shocked or even surprised. I will not claim that the story is great literature, but it was fun to read. What sold me on the book were excerpts of reviews from Goodreads that the publisher shared, along with reviews on Netgalley, many of which were funnier than some “humor” books I’ve read. Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the digital review copy.

For starters, I want to thank NetGalley and Lola Faust (& anyone else responsible) for providing this free ebook in exchange for an honest review. I have seen Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer mentioned in quite a few reader groups I am in, along with a few Instagram posts and was excited to see it offered here!

Overall I give 4/5 stars
Was this the best monster romance I have ever read? No. Was it one of the more unique story-lines that seemed longer than it was, and actually had me semi emotional near the end? Yes, yes it was.

As I am almost certain this was made to be entirely satire, I found myself attached to Tanis and Big Al by the end of the book. The spice was,,,,something and PLEASE take the more intense trigger warnings seriously (such as the gore, death, cult, and amputation ones or anything mentioned that may trigger you), but I genuinely enjoyed the love and general plot line of this book.
Again, while it was goofy and out there, it was pretty unique and I'd be lying if I said I have read anything else like it. Faust's writing style was enjoyable and easy to read. Again, a bit silly from time to time, I felt like some things were purposely ridiculous and written as such, but it gave me a good chuckle.

Please take the time to read the trigger/content warnings for this book.
Below is my more personal thoughts that include spoilers for the story/plot line.

** Spoilers Mentioned**
These are my genuine thoughts and opinions and are entirely my own.

.

The beginning/first half of the book wasn't easy to follow in my opinion.
I had a lot of questions, and narrowed my eyes a few times trying to understand where the plot was going, and why. Also how Tanis was described, she almost seemed underage, and I wasn't sure what the author meant. I double checked and only in the last half of the book does she give us her age as 18, almost 19.

I had almost given up on Tanis and Big Al, but I decided to keep reading. I really wish it had been longer only here - to explain if Big Al knew the folks at the cult before they arrived there or not. It seems implied, but it truly didn't make much sense to me. But once the book hit around page 22-25 (halfway point) and they escaped the cult, I was hooked. I had to know what happened next! I feel that the story was much more coherent and flowed a lot better after this point.

All in all, its silly and funny and I enjoyed reading this book!

Was this review helpful?

This book isn't your typical erotica book. This involves a scaly lover. a pining redhead country girl and questionable mating practices.

Tanis is a girl born into a world where dinosaurs have become labor workers and live alongside modern humans. Tanis has had a fascination with dinosaurs for years...but is her interest more sexual in nature?

I typically do not read straight erotica due to my own tastes, and typically prefer romantic fantasy with some sprice. However, I did enjoy this short book. I found it quite interesting and love how it took the monster romance genre on with a twist. I wish the story had been longer instead of cutting off where it did.

There were some moments that truly gave me shudders, but I won't spoil that for other readers.

If I was rating it according to what I normally read I would give it two stars, but as an erotica I would rate it as 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars for this system.

Big Al I pine for thee..
I genuinely could not stop laughing while reading this literary masterpiece. If NASA ever sends another golden record into space, I want it to only contain this book. I want a stressed out, disheveled professor teaching at a community college to have this as required reading. I want this book to be my epitaph on my headstone. We do not deserve this incredible tale of love, loss, and dinosaurs.

This is the second Lola Faust book I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed this outrageously original dino-smut/love story. Suspend disbelief, chuckle at the long long list of trigger warnings and by the end you'll be wishing you had a Big Al in your life!!

Overcoming family disapproval, a cult-like love sanctuary and men with I'll-intent, this is a dino story with a happy ending - several happy endings in fact. I belly-laughed as I could really imagine the author having such a giggle writing this, and in a world of such bleak times, maybe dino-smut is just the antidote needed. Thank you Lola Faust for truly making me smile and for proving I can still be surprised. Who knew I'd be willing Big Al and Tanis to make it as an interspecies couple!

Was this review helpful?

This dino smut is pure dinosanity. You know a book is gonna be good when it starts with a whole page of trigger warnings including but not limited to fisting, carnivorism, South Dakota, cults, corn fields, venture capitalism. This is what I’m here for.

Tania is a farm girl from Canada- where dinos have been domesticated and can commicate telepathically w humans (#justbelieve). Big Al is an allosaurus who is described as having bbq breath and skin that smells like fish and flowers. Same Big Al. Same.

Tania and Big Al get caught canoodling and her dad accidentally shoots her. Big Al bolts to safety with Tania. Unfortunately, dinos don’t know any first aid, but they do know how to pleasure a lady. So rather than hold pressure on Tania’s bullet wound, Big Al causes more trauma by impaling her with his huge dino dick and then he EATS HER ARM OFF!!! This is taking wanting to “devour” a lover to the next level. Tania feels dizzy with love, but perhaps she’s confusing the feeling of severe anemia with first love. #hemorrhagicshock

The pair move on to have many adventures including a foray at a North Dakota polyamorous dino/human sex cult, shoplifting (one armed bandit), a brush with kidnappers, and finally settle down at a slaughterhouse. And they do this all despite having only one opposable thumb between the two of them. Tania is very well adapted to life w one arm despite no formal rehab. Move aside Big Al, Tania is the actual real savage beast here.

Despite the weird reptile/human intercourse, these two really love each other and I support. The heart wants what the heart wants. Def recommend this read. I love this series.

Smut- 4.65 stars
Romance- 4.23 stars
Story- 4.11 stars
Me googling “Allosaurus size” “Allosaurus dick” “Do I need a psychiatrist?” as I read this- 18 stars

Was this review helpful?

I'm not much of an erotica reader. Do I enjoy a good romance? Hell yeah! Do I like it when my fantasy series has a little bit (or a lotta bit) of ~spice~? HELL yeah. But I still haven't really ventured into the world of erotica much.

But when I signed up for a NetGalley account a few weeks ago and saw that one of the books on the "Read Now" had one of those old-school romance covers with a *dinosaur* on it, I could not pass it up.

Does this book have a stunningly crafted plot with deep characters? No, of course it doesn't. But that's not why you picked it up, and that's not what you're looking for in a review. You picked it up because you were like, "wtf, is this dinosaur smut?" and it IS. It does what it says on the cover, and it's a good time. I was laughing out loud multiple times and texting the group chat to laugh about it. At 60-something pages, it's a quick read and brought a smile to my face. And honestly, it got surprisingly deep a few times. If you want a good laugh and are curious to see what the hell dinosaur erotica could be about, I'd say it's worth your time.

The FULL story of Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer By Lola Faust is out and available now!!!

I had already purchased the paper back of this book that had the first two chapters in it after reading Dino Stud last month - I was extremely happy to see that the completed story was released!

Those first two chapters were pretty much a story in themselves, but it didn’t provide the HEA I had hoped for between Tanis and Big Al the allosaurus. The completed story of Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer provides even more story to these two starcrossed lovers and an HEA that any romance fan could be happy for!

Like I said, just with the first two chapters, this is a wild ride, where country girl Tanis falls in love with one of the allosauruses working on her fathers farm. Her dad is not impressed and tries to end their relationship which results in tennis getting injured and her and her allosaurus lover running off into the sunset.

This book is full of crazy adventures, human, and dinosaur relations, and the simple desire of a couple force from their home and family, trying to find a place where they belong.

Overall, Lola’s dinosaur erotica is far-fetched, outrageous. Lots of fun and totally addicting! My paperback copy included three other short stories, a three chapter teaser, and some other fun dinosaur shorts. All of these stories very in there, Roddick level and offer variety from historical to current day romances with dinosaurs.

It may just be me obsessed with dinosaurs, but this is way too much fun and I’m not gonna quit anytime soon!


Thanks to NetGalley for my Ecopy of this book. Opinions on my own.

Was this review helpful?

Completely bonkers pastiche of…I’m not quite sure what? This book has way too much fun subverting purple romance prose and playing around with tropes. (#onlyonearm , anyone?). Tanis, the sweet farm girl, runs away from home with Big Al the allosaurus. Their relationship is not platonic. Their love is a love for the ages, possibly the Cretaceous or Jurassic ages. I honestly have never read anything like it and probably never will again. The content warnings page does alert readers to mentions of Canadians and Canada, so do take care.

Was this review helpful?

Okay so, this was an interesting ride. I've read one of Lola Faust's books, Dino Stud, and it was cute and fun. This book was MUCH DIFFERENT. I took the content warnings at the beginning as a bit of a joke and quickly learned I shouldn't have. The content didn't necessarily bother me, but the warnings were hilarious and I just read them and moved beyond.
This is not your typical erotica. There was an incredible amount of spice… if you still call it spice when it involves a dinosaur (or two). It's quite graphic (both the sex and the gore) and it's not for the faint of heart. There was also a ton of story jam packed into this little tale. Dare I say I wish it would've been longer? I'm not sure if I could handle much more but there's no harm in a bit of story building.

But - did I hate it? Absolutely not. Did it provide an escape from reality (as I'm typically trying to do when reading)? Wildly. Would I recommend this to other people? Very delicately, if I know their preferences.

That all being said, I think I'm hooked and can't wait to read more dino books 🤷🏼‍♀️ thank you Netgalley for a free copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun, short read. It definitely didn't take itself too seriously, and overall I had a lot of fun with it. Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer was my first read in this genre, but I will be checking out more by Lola Faust.

I don't know if I will be able to look at my local museum's dinosaur exhibit the same way.

I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started this book. I read the content warnings that the author has included in the introduction. I didn't think anything of it because I have read some DARK mafia romance books in the past. Well, let me tell you, I was not prepared for this gem of a story. I'm still not entirely sure what I just read but it somehow sucked me in, ahem, and keep me reading all the way to the end.

I read this a few months ago before the rest of the story was published and was so disappointed I never thought i would be interested in Dino smut but I definitely was after I saw the author announce the story is now complete i requested this book so quickly and I was not disappointed I am so happy that I got to finish this story and learned what happened to tanis and big al where it had ended. This book was so intriguing I have never read anything like it but you wont be disappointed in the weirdness and the wholesomeness of this book .

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.

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.

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 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!

Ok, again (and obviously) the cover dragged me in. To the surprise of no one, this is a very silly book, and I don't love all of the tropes it features, but it definitely has its moments!

I read this out of pure curiosity and it was so much fun. I didn’t go in expecting much but a good time. I just needed to know how Dino smut was. I was not disappointed. This was a good time. This is definitely a snack guilty pleasure book.

This online book club sensation did not disappoint! I actually requested this on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised. I will recommend to all my monster romance loving friends.

Tanis was a country girl that found herself defending a Dino named Big AL. When her father caught onto their relationship they were forced to flee. On the run their relationship was tested. Will their forbidden love be able to conquer all?
I absolutely loved the world building in this story. Faust takes us on a crazy ride of life if we had dinos that could communicate and fall in love. There are some definate dark moments as dinos are carnivores and require a lot of food. Tanis and Big Al.have one heck of an adventure but to see if they get their HEA you'll have to join them by reading Wet Hot Allosaurus.
I rated this fantasy romance 5 out of 5 stars. There is an interesting realistic tone that explains things In manner that isn't to far fetched. There is plenty of spice. Who knew Dino lust could be so HOT? If you love exciting romances with couples trying to beat the odds this book is a must read!
