by Lola Faust

A sexy geologist. A lonely stegosaur. Sometimes to find love you have to break all the rules...

This is a 5000 word short story. Warning: explicit dinosaur love action is NOT for children!

About the author

From an early age Lola Faust's fantasies and reveries tilted towards the unusual and the eccentric. Though she entertained curious private journals, it wasn't until she entered the Paleontology program at the University of British Columbia that her romantic notions concerning dinosaurs took full flight.

While working towards her doctorate, Ms Faust began writing her signature saurian prose. Today she is employed by day at a leading university in her field, but maintains her anonymous and risque personality online.

She can be reached at lolafaust1984@gmail.com.

She also has an Amazon author page.

I wasn't planning to read such a short book today, but I didn't have time for anything more. I was preoccupied addressing threats from Goodreads trolls against my family's safety and such this morning. So, that was a fun thing to wake up to. Another fantastic outing with dinosaurs and humans working together. And by working together, of course, I mean having frisky business with one another. Stego certainly rediscovered his groove with the help of our lead, Annabelle. She was as busty and lustful as one could hope for. The quality of the writing wasn't bad at all and, despite the content being so silly, the whole experience was fairly enjoyable. Just needed to be longer and more fleshed out. But the end result was still some high-grade dinosaur on sexy lady action. And that's all that really matters, isn't it?

This might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read in my entire life.

I need therapy or brain bleach after reading this.

This was 18 pages of pure dino erotica fun! 🤣

Annabelle is a misunderstood and lonely geologist just looking for connection. The last place she expected to find it was at the quarry. Stego is the veteran breaker who hasn’t met another like him…until now.

”She wondered how he lived without anyone who really understood him. As lonely as she often was, he must be lonelier”

One night she follows Stego home to his pen at the warehouse and before you know it….you know…. 🦕🥵💦

I’m still waiting for the full Lord Bart book because he deserves more pages but until then I’ll happily read any of Lola’s dino porn. I guess it’s my thing now 🤣🙃🙌

At least he didn’t eat her arm

I doubt this is biologically accurate but this answered certain questions I didn't have about certain dinosaur anatomy....

Time to go bleach my eyes

I read this with my friend on discord, I read it to him as there was no audiobook available.

All I could say was

✨oh for fuck sakes✨

Little disappointed by the missed double penetration opportunity!

My friends rating.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 - it would be a little longer for him if it was a little longer.

Poorly written and a pathetic attempt at sex - but it was full monster / beast which I can appreciate which is why it got 2 stars and not 1

[Brittany · Rating 2 out of 5]

Exactly what you’d expect… I read this for a laugh, please don’t judge me.

I have never laughed so hard

super sweet stego with a pocket full of surprises

This started out so wholesome and sweet. The lonely stego just wants a companion. And the nerdy geologist who never fit in just wanted to find a home. Then BOOM surprise pocket with not one but TWO special surprises. She pops off of him like a champagne cork (authors words not mine) when he ya know.

why the fuck does IT retract oh my god

[Danielle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Probably the strangest thing I've ever read. The Dinosaur coloring pages in the back are an odd choice.

[Kristina Coop-a-Loop · Rating 2 out of 5]

Of all the dinosaur porn books in this series (at least, of the ones I’ve read), How Stego Got His Groove Back must be the dumbest, at least in the sense of realism. Because this is dino porn, there’s no sense in seriously criticizing the logistics of human females having sexual intercourse with dinosaurs. That’s already ridiculous. What I’m talking about is in this novel, the beautiful woman is a geologist assigned to supervise a quarry with dinosaur workers. The description of all the special equipment and housing needed for these dinosaurs immediately makes me think that these poor dinos would be too expensive to hire. I mean, we’re in an era right now in which humans are too expensive for employers, what with our need for health care and paychecks and safety regulations. No way would dinosaurs be considered the less expensive option compared with humans and trucks/big equipment. These poor guys would be in the welfare line. Anyway.

So beautiful Annabella doesn’t relate to humans. Oh no! Like all beautiful, smart women, she thinks she is stupid and ugly and has no friends. But wait, now that she is surrounded by dinosaurs, she’s found the human touch she’s been so desperately seeking! And you know the rest. She makes friends with Stego, quickly climbs into his bed and is having screaming orgasms that no human man can give her. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. End of story.

There are two bonus stories: “Tyrannosaurus Sext” and “Mile High Pterodactyl Club.” The second was covered in my review of Triceratops and Bottoms. “Tyrannosaurus Sext” is a brief story of a dumb beautiful woman named Alice who has been sexting with an unknown man named Rex. Maybe she’s never described as beautiful but I’m assuming based on previous encounters with this author—dinosaurs only get hot for hot women. Alice is surprised when Rex is short for tyrannosaurus rex but that’s okay. She’s horny and his texts make her hot. She goes to his house/den and improbable human/dino sex ensues. The end.

At the end of this book is a section entitled “Dino Love Tips.” I think they are supposed to be funny, kind of a wink, wink, nudge, nudge of recognition that the entire book is silly, but I didn’t laugh. Whatever. I’m sure they will be helpful the next time I want to get it on with a horny dino.

These dino porn books are...well, I won’t read another one. They were a joke purchase (that didn’t go over well...oops!) but since I had them I figured I may as well read them and add them to my GR count.

I promise no dino porn books next year.

Shoutout to book club for passing this one along! Truly expanding my reading horizons in new ways this year 🤣
Much like Ice Planet Barbarians or any monster romance, you gotta know what you’re reading going into this book, and you have to accept the crazy. It’s an erotic dinosaur romance. And when you go in expecting it to be exactly that, it’s a fun read. Shakespeare it is not, but it doesn’t have to be. Much like Stego, it’s here for a good time.

[Hannah Reads a lot of Smut · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 generosity stars for wtf did I just read? Ya know, this isn’t the next great novel. But it’s fun AF. It’s a fast read and pretty freaking creative. I liked that it had a HFN and that strego listened to romance book on audio. The pacing for 18 pages was actually pretty prime.

Would I read it again? Probably not. But for the vibes alone it was a pretty hilarious Dino erotica 😂

[Haku · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book wasn't too bad, but I do wish that it were at least 10 pages longer. I really like that we got a pretty in-depth background for the main character, considering that the book was only 18 pages long. I don't have too much else to say about it, but if you're looking for a quick read and want something with dinosaur porn, then this is your book.

i wish i was slapped in the face instead of reading this. i don’t deserve eyes.

Stego went all Mr Firehose on this chick

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

* Update 11/24: I'm coming back to this almost one year later and I feel I was a bit harsh on my initial star rating of 1 star. *

Original Review 12/23:

This was the first time I had read this author's work. This story is a novella and therefore is very short and the relationship is not as in-depth as a full novel. However, I wish there would have been more storyline with Stego. There was more time spent on the setting of the story than there was between the main female character and the male character. There was a lot glossed over, like their initial meeting and after their first coupling. It's very obvious from the description that the anatomy and sex scenes were going to be a bit ridiculous as the whole idea of dino/human relationships is out there. That being said, while I understand this was a novella, I wish there would have been a bit more interaction between the two characters, more information about Stego, or some perspective from Stego.

[Mandy Sickle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read all of Lola Faust's books this month! I'm a huge dinosaur fan and finally after putting it off decided to go down the rabbit whole and I'm so glad that I did. I feel like they are a must for monster smut and she does a fantastic job.

Each story has it's own unique characters a human girl with her swoon worthy dinosaur. I enjoyed them all each one is unique and very smutty. Highly recommend them. I hope we will see more Dino Smut from the lovely and very talented Lola Faust.

These are the perfect example of dino smut and I love them.

[Amanda A · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read this “For research” for an Instagram post lol. It was… hmm exactly what it promised? Yes, Stego did get his groove back. It wasn’t the best short I’ve ever read, but not the worst either. Not a whole lot happens but boy do I love the cover 😍 my only beef with that is that the FMC several times, is mentioned as having glasses and brown curly hair. Not blond in any way 🙄

[Taylor Rayne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the funniest and grossest and also a teeny tiny microscopic bit….cute 19 pages Ive ever read 😭💀

anyways if you need something for your “shortest book of 2024” here you go. Enjoy😂

Facebook groups got me to read this because I am NOSEY
5 stars because I was cackling and I am easily entertained

[Jasmine (writethyselff)]

Another weird book read for my TikTok series. This will give me nightmares. Just no. No.

I will be talking to my therapist about this

[Kaylin]

I don’t want to talk about it. It was a gift and I have a book goal to reach.
