Summary

My standard issued lab badge reads "Simon", but it really should say "unexciting nerd with no social life". Don't get me wrong - I love what I do with a passion, but it doesn't leave a lot of time for much else. Especially romance.

While chipping away at my work, I'm suddenly the person between hired cartel muscle and the fossil that will define my career. Which isn't the most insane part of the story.

My savior is a chaotic, bat-wielding punk with a bubble-gum pink mohawk and a killer smile.

In a mad dash to escape the thieves, my knight in studded armor sweeps me across the country while hitting every tourist trap along the way. While smuggling a fossil, might I add.

Oh, and did I mention this pink punk can shift into a dinosaur?

Contains mature themes.

Sweet and original

Loved it. Such a pleasurable story with original plot, very lovable and cute characters. And I just know that story was made for me because of Kirt’s narration. I am a massive fan of Kirt’s performance and he brought this story to life beautifully.

Kirt does a good job as per usual...

Quirky, fun read/listen from Maz Maddox. Dinosaur shifters 🦕🦖...it's my first one, and I would be very surprised if any other stories out there featured Dinos.

Great book

This book was a wonderful surprise as I’d not heard of the author before. It kind of reminded me of a mixture of books by Alice Winters and L.J. Hayward. Great mixture of relationship development, action and humour. It was a shifter book, but not in any typical way so that was refreshing too. I’ll definitely be getting the rest of the series once it’s released. If you’re looking for more inspiration of other decent m/m books to listen to, other than those I mentioned already; try Lily Morton, Tal Bauer or Keira Andrews.

so cute

Such an original idea and I LOVE IT. I adore dinosaurs so when I heard about this book it was an insta-buy. I'm quite fond of narrator Kirt Graves too, he does a great job with good distinction between voices. This book has it all, quirky characters, threat, comedy, hijinx, a road trip, and of course dinosaurs.

This had me finishing it in one day. I really enjoyed it. The narration was great, the story was funny and witty and well-paced and had lots of fun characters. I'm really excited to start on this series.

Excellent beyond expectation

I'm by no means a connoisseur of the LGBT Mature genre, but this book exceeded expectation in every way. The prose is fantastic, the relationships organic and the story is precisely what it needs to be - just enough drama, just enough tension, just enough humor - to be a really excellent relationship novel.

..... And then there's the dinosaurs. *chefs kiss*

If you are, or have ever been, a dino nerd - this one is absolutely for you.

Something different

Did not expect the shifter in this story. Not sure if it made the story less injoyeble. Maybe its just my cup of thé

Good fun

I really enjoyed this story and the narration was great.

Dinosaur shifters, a palaeontologist and thugs after ancient fossils led to an interesting storyline with a good amount of adventure in between swoony, sexy and funny moments.
