A review by mayastef
Dino Stud by Lola Faust
3.5
At first, it felt like a Jurassic park rip off but eventually, the book found a bit of its own voice. The pacing was off to me I felt like the story evolved really quickly, I understand that it is a quick book, and half the point of erotica is just getting to it but I think the story could've felt more believable if there was even minor bits suggesting time had passed. For example, just a paragraph describing Tallulah's first week at the ranch and how it was a whirlwind of learning and trying to keep her thirst for Reid at bay. Maybe that paragraph was there and I missed it but I stand by my point. I think the bones of the story are good but I am left wanting more of a build-up to the action. Even if the book was the same length I think there are very minor changes that could be made to build more anticipation. I will also admit that sometimes Tallulah's love of dinosaurs was a little bit too in the 'rawr XD' realm and not enough in the scientist realm. I say this as someone who works in a related field who works with plenty of dino obsessed nerds. I have also read nastier smut in books not labelled as erotica
