About this listen

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.

I love this so much! ❤️

Dalton is awesome, and he's so funny. Simon is a sweetheart. I love them. I love this book! There are so many swoon worthy moments in the midst of all the action in this story. I love how Dalton's raptor thinks of pretty Simon. It's so damn adorable. The ending is so completely satisfying. This book is so well written.

I bought the audiobook, and the narrator is amazing. I'm glad this isn't ai or virtual voice because I would not have bought it if it was.

Fresh & fun, nerdy shifter romance

If you like shifter romances and want a fresh take, this is a great start to what I hope will be a comprehensive series. Simon, the unsuspecting paleontologist, gets thrown into a world of adventure and fantasy when saved by a sassy punk rock dino shifter. Yep, a DINO shifter. There is a comic book feel to this story that's really fun. The narrator did a good job of keeping voices separate without over the top inflection. I hope more comes soon and that we get more of Simon, Dalton, and the rest of the RELIC team.

Dinosaur shifters!

I really really enjoyed this story it was a lot of fun.
Dalton is basically a Utahraptor shifter He works with a team of shifters to gifters to preserve fossils. Also to protect archeological and paleontological artifacts.
Simon is a nerdy scientist- Is paleontologist.
The whole story revolves around a group of bad guys who try to steal a fossil egg Simon has been working on. And the bad guys are stealing it for a terrible terrible bad man who is a private collector of precious artifacts.
Bad guys are not afraid to hurt people.
However the whole story felt very light hearted to me with a little Abbott and Costello -screwball Keystone cops. And some lovely kind of cheesy dialog thrown in the mix.
I enjoyed it very much, It kept my interest.
Kirt Graves does an excellent job of narration.

Fun Dinosaur Adventure

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but it was very fun and a great listen. Kirt Graves was wonderful as usual and was a perfect fit. It was great to find an original story with good writing and dialog. It seems like so many m/m books are the same story line (fake bfs/straight best friend, etc.), but this was different in the best way. Never a boring moment. I just wish it was longer! Looking forward to more in this series.
