Should I read in order?
This stands alone fine.

Basic plot:
Tallulah is overjoyed when she gets a summer job at Dino Ranch

Give this a try if you want:
- Futuristic dinosaur Earth setting in Missouri
- paleontology student heroine
- LGBT positive
- shorter novel
- Average steam – 1 full scene in a shorter page count
- presumed dead


Ages:
- Heroine is 25, didn’t see hero’s age

First line:
Tallulah finally found the Ranch on her fifth day in Independence, Missouri, after four days of odd glances and raised eyebrows when she asked where it was.

My thoughts:
So, on goodreads there’s a note “The newest novel in Lola Faust’s Dinosaur Erotica line” but this one I would not say is erotica at all. There’s 1 sex scene and it’s pretty vague and it reads as a standard romance – there’s not much focus on the sex at all and it’s definitely not about the sex journey. Perhaps her novel Triceratops and Bottoms would count in that category but I wouldn’t count this one!

Okay! I know this book is absurd and the whole plot is barely held together. But I have to admit I kind of liked this one! I think reading Triceratops and Bottoms first REALLY lowered my expectations for her (I found that one almost unreadable). I just felt like this one flowed way better. I just liked it okay?!?!?! Don’t judge me!!!

It’s a short novel but I found it a ridiculous, fun read that broke up some of my heavier novels.
