Synopsis: Dorothy Valentine is close to getting her PhD in wildlife biology when she’s attacked by a lion. On the bright side, she’s saved! On the not-so-bright side, it’s because they’re abducted by aliens. In her scramble to escape, Dory and the lion commandeer an escape pod and crash-land on an alien planet that has...dinosaurs? Dory and her new lion bestie, Toto, are saved in the nick of time by a mysterious and sexy alien, Sol. On their new adventure, they team up with the equally hot, equally dangerous Lok, who may or may not be a war criminal. Whether it be trauma, fate, or intrigue, Dory can’t resist the attraction that’s developing in their trio.... As this ragtag group of misfits explore their new planet, Dory learns more about how and why they’ve all ended up together, battles more prehistoric creatures than she imagined (she imagined...zero), and questions if she even wants to go back home to Earth in this hilarious and steamy alien romance adventure comedy romp. 

 

Review: I went into this book not expecting to really like it. And then I listened to it and I immediately liked it from the first page. I thought overall that the book is completely hilarious and that the author has a great talent for mixing in humor and sex scenes. The book was very hot and very smutty. The world development, while weird, was absolutely fantastic. And I really just want to know how the author managed to pitch this type of a book to her publisher or agent. Because in my opinion, it feels like none of the elements that were in this book should have worked together. But the way that the author put them together made them work absolutely amazingly well. And I want to jump into another audiobook by this author. Like, I might go buy one after I finish this review LOL. 
 
 The only thing I really didn't like about the book is that it did feel a little bit fast-paced in the beginning, but other than that absolutely fantastic book. I loved it. 

 

Verdict: I was very surprised and I can’t wait for the next book in this series! I recommend if you’re a spicy lover!
