I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book, and now I feel like I don't even know what I read. This was such a bizarre read from start to finish. I normally enjoy depravity, but the FMC was written as ridiculous and overwhelmingly sexual it was difficult to see anything past that. Even though the acts during the scenes were unique, the writing describing it felt lackluster and brushed over. There is a HEA but it comes after a very weird twist which again just made the read more frustrating.

Actually ridiculous in the best way possible. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't THAT. 10/10 would read again. Would also read the authors entire backlog.

Completely ridiculous, as expected from Lola Faust. I wish there'd been more of a focus on the sex between Alessandra, Tristan, and Nellie, but it was still an enjoyable read!

Many thanks to Lola Faust, BooksGoSocial, & Netgalley for providing me with an ARC.

If you were looking for a literary masterpiece or a tour de force then keep looking.

However if you're searching for a short story full of dino-erotica and a Cretaceously good time then Lola Faust has you covered!

Follow sweet virginal Alessandra on her new career path- working for multi-billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist Tristan Black. He's tall, he's muscular, has a strong jaw and and even stronger sexual appetite... he's the ultimate predator. Literally.
No really, the guy is a Gorgosaur!

If you have an itch that can only be scratched by the talons of a mesozoic MMC then 50 Shades of Gorgosaur is absolutely the book for you. 🦖

Check the trigger warnings before you read as this story does contain explicit content and features mentions of things some may find disturbing such as Elon Musk and youth pastors!!!

Thankyou @netgalley and booksgosocial for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own and based entirely on my reading experience.⚘️

This is one of those books that you know what to expect. This is a 50 shades of Grey retelling with a billionaire dinosaur and his assistants (TWO women). This was a ridiculously wild story and the writing isn't remarkable but it's one of those quick palette cleanser reads.

Thank you Lola Faust, BooksGoSocial, and NetGalley, for the gifted copy!

This book was really something. From the (implied) Trigger Warnings to the "ribbed-for-her-pleasure-and-also-probably-for-evolutionary-reasons reptilian cock that belonged to a billionaire." It was a ride, for sure. It's a quick and truly satirical read, I'd definitely consider reading this author again.
Thanks for making my first NetGalley read a memorable one,

This is my first book with Dino love and I am not a hundred percent sure how to rate this. Did I find this entertaining? A little bit. Everything from beginning to end was over the top and kind of ridiculous but what do you really expect from Dino Erotica. 50 shades elements all over this puppy, you just had to have a good laugh with this and take it for what it is. An interesting brain break for sure.

I have no words. And not in a good way...

This was easily the most bizarre thing I've read, it was hilariously ridiculous.

Honestly, I love Lola Faust's writing. Ever since I read Wet Hot Allosaurus summer I've been hooked on this super strange and highly hilarious dinosaur erotica. This is 50 Shades of Grey but Christian Grey is a Gorgosaur. We also have a beautiful, smut filled relationship happening between Trystan Black's (the gorgosaur) executive assistant Ms Hammond, and our FMC Alessandra. This book had spice, love, religious trauma, goats, taxes, and of course, quiet luxury. Seriously though, this book was really fun and the world is currently an absolute dumpster fire. Pick this up. Short, sweet, hilarious, spicy, graphic and outlandish. Highly enjoyed!

I honestly never truly know how to rate these books - these books aren't great literature but they are so over the top and fun as hell so I will keep reading them. This one is basically 50 Shades of Grey except the MMC is a DINOSAUR! I really loved all the little nods to 50 Shades of Grey - Tristan Black = Christian Grey, Alessandra Ironside = Anastasia Steele- Tristan even had his own red room. I wish it had been explained how Nellie could "talk" to Tristan when no one else seems to be able to.

Big Lola Faust fan here so I was excited to see a new one from her!

50 shades of Gray retelling but with a Gorgosaur, goats, fashion, contracts, audiences, "coffee shops", executive assistants, graphic scenes, religious flashbacks, virginity and more!

Be sure to read the content warnings, not only because it's hilarious but there are some real topics in there you might want to avoid.

Avid monster romance reader, first time Dinosaur erotica reader. Will definitely be coming back for more from this author. A 50 Shades of Grey retelling BUT with a dinosaur billionaire? Say less!

Absolutely absurd but in the best way imaginable. Had a wonderful time. The spice was spicy. Some questionable plot holes, or abrupt changes that made little to no sense. BUT some of my favorite reads are where you have to suspend reality just a little bit. Like we’re reading about a dinosaur getting freaky.. ya know what I mean?

Had me giggling and full out laughing, several times. Reminded me why I love monster romance as much as I do.

I had enjoyed previous books from Lola Faust and was excited to read more in this type of story. It had that dinosaur element that I was looking for and enjoyed from this type of book. The characters had that feel that I wanted from this type of book and enjoyed getting to read this.

If you’re considering reading this book, I’m going to assume you either know what you’re getting yourself into or you are approaching with an open mind about the genre.

The book delivers exactly what you expect to get from reading the summary. I enjoyed that it was the 50 shades vibes vs a more direct retelling.

I was enjoying the book for the ridiculousness that it is but was kind of thrown for a look when the story line brings in her ex-boyfriend. That just felt abrupt to me since I didn’t pick up on any reference of something being afoot before that. But I do like how he was dealt with in the book.

I enjoyed it the book but would only recommend to friends I knew who are interested in the genre.

This was a book….lol. Very first book of this kind I’ve ever read and I honestly had a great time! I would absolutely read more from this author! This was so funny and silly and fast to read, I enjoyed it.

I am new to the monster romance sub-genre so this was a new type of read for me. Based on the title I had certain expectations with language/plot and it did not disappoint. This is only a great read if you want to turn off your brain and can accept some weirdness (i mean theres a dino so weird is guaranteed). With a Simple plot that knows what it’s here to do. it had me laughing a few times but gagging a bit at the goats so Definitely take note of trigger warnings .

Thank you to the publisher for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Review: what a fucked up piece of art. The author has a witty sense of humor. To start out with the trigger list, I was laughing so hard I was almost crying. Deep within this book is some good satirical commentary on religion and sexism. This started out as a joke group read with my friends who are also Netgalley reviewers and turned into an interesting time. I think most people will miss the point.

This is one of those books that you read for the utter ridiculousness on the page. A 50 Shades of Grey retelling with a giant dinosaur billionaire and his hot assistants. Yes, plural. I never take these things seriously, as you shouldn’t, and certainly do not look for remarkable writing. But what this type of story does give me is a brain break. I am thankful for the refresh!

Check the trigger warnings. While most are hilarious, there are also some worth looking for (like the goat death).

Thank you NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and author Lola Faust for the eARC in exchange for honest review.

This book was definitely out there! Not my usual cup of tea but I read it just for giggles. Would most likely be enjoyed by someone more into ~dinosaurs~ than me. I did, however, very much enjoy the exploration of the main character’s religious guilt and how that played into her finally letting loose and embracing her sexuality.
