Shanna had been sent back 66 million years by the CenCon scientists to prospect for immense raw diamonds…but she finds more than she ever expected when she rescues a baby T-Rex and names it Timmy. Who could have guessed that dinosaurs were telepathic…and when Timmy grows up, he wants a whole lot more from her than just a platonic friendship!
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
Timmy’s skin was twitching rhythmically. Concerned, Shanna levered herself up on one elbow, then gasped. A long, smooth mass was rising from his cloaca. She’d always known that Rexes possessed sexual organs, but she’d never expected to see one up-close!
Fascinated, she leaned closer to examine it. More and more kept appearing, until it was jutting up nearly five feet above his body. The musky scent that emanated from it was oddly pleasant.
Bumps suddenly appeared on its length in random spots, and grew until they were several inches long. She jerked back, then realized what she was seeing. Male dogs had barbs on their organs to hold the female in place until mating was finished; Rexes must have the same kind of barbs on theirs. They weren’t sharp or spiky, but she was sure they’d do an excellent job. Compensation for their spindly little forearms, she decided.
Timmy was shaking all over now, and rumbling deep in his throat. Anxiously she reached out telepathically, and sensed his baffled arousal through their intimate emotional link.
This is what you feel, he moaned as the T-Rex mating ritual’s pace increased, and the distant stamping became more forceful. Shanna, I’m afraid! Help me, please!
How could she possibly help him? It wasn’t like she could pretend to be a female dinosaur!
Sensations were cascading through her too fiercely to combat…and they were enhanced, she realized, by the frenzied activity in the adjoining valley. Four different pairs of Rexes were energetically mating, and the force of their spiraling ecstasy was echoing in her reeling brain like Chinese gongs…
Titile: Dinos Are A Girl's Best Friend Author: Pornelope Format: Audio Narrator: Buck J. Deat Genre: SciFi Erotica, Comedy Standalone: Yes but sets up for another Part of a series: Book 1 of 50 Scales of Grey POV: Shanna and Timmy Steam Level: Well, it's erotica so it's more steam than story 3/5
Have you ever seen something so ridiculous you can't help but check it out? Well that was me with this series. I saw book 2 and couldn't help but click on it only to realize that there was a book one as well. Resistance was futile. The premise is this - Shanna from way in the future travels back in time. But, due to a miscalculation she ends up in the age of dinosaurs which is less in the past that she wanted to go. She's the only human and rescues a dinosaur who is telepathic (all dinosaurs are telepathic) She's also empathic and can feel the energy that the dinosaurs exude during mating season leading to Timmy becoming more than a friend that she rescued and raised. This novella is only an hour long but it left me wondering what the heck I just listened to. And then promptly started the next book, because in for a penny, in for a pound.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobooks Unleashed. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Dinos Are a Girl's Best Friend (Dinosaur Erotica: Book 1 of "50 Scales of Grey") by Pornelope and narrated by Buck J. Deat was just meh...The story itself is interesting overall, but some portions of the writing and narration were not for me (Timmy’s voice is a hard no).
What’s it about? Shanna is paid by a company to transport diamonds but is sent to the wrong time period, resulting in her finding and then caring for a baby T. Rex she names Timmy. Once Timmy is grown, they become lovers. They are able to communicate via telepathy. That about sums it up. Yes the title is right on. I’ve made it clear romance books (of any kind) are not my typical listen, so keep that in mind when reading this review.
