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 went into this for some fun, with an open mind, and not expecting too much from it.
Honestly though? I enjoyed it IMMENSELY. It was so much fun, lighthearted and funny, sweet and cheesy (without being cringey). I giggled out loud and kept listening even out of my usual listening times. Highly recommend. It doesn’t take itself too seriously but remains well written and flows well.
If you’re game, add it to your list. You won’t regret it, I didn’t. So glad I took a chance, this has quickly shot up into my favourites.

Ridiculously Funny and Highly Enjoyable

Was not sure what to expect with this one, but was so impressed! Story flowed well, laugh out loud moments, great dialogue between characters. Kirt Graves did a great job. Highly recommend if you like MM, shifter, fun banter, action and a HEA. Can't wait to listen to more!!

A Shifter Romance with a Dino Twist

Woohoo, the shifter series I never knew I needed! Working for RELIC (Reclaiming Extinct Lineage from Illegal Collectors), Dalton, sporting numerous tattoos, a pink mohawk, and tons of attitude, is a dinosaur shifter. It’s a marriage made in odd-couple heaven when he crosses paths with straight-laced palaeontologist, Simon. Maz Maddox has created a unique shifter world, two fun MCs plus other interesting RELIC characters, and a well-paced action / romance with some great banter. In the audiobook, Kirt Graves channels Dalton’s irreverence and Simon’s awkwardness perfectly. Straight to the Favourite List!

You had me at dinosaur shape-shifters!

Annoying, funny and totally lovable main character thrown together with a brilliant, bewildered and surprisingly brave palaeontologist. Their adventure had enough tension and laughs to keep me binge listening to the end. It's a fun story, it won't change my world view or challenge my life's philosophy, but it certainly entertained me. Great stuff, can't wait to get to the next one.

Sassy, punk dino - wow that's different

A very curious take on shifter romance and I am on board for every moment of it.
Fun and lighthearted without dimming down the sex and action. 💕

I’m so giddily excited to have stumbled across this crazy fabulous author, this cute and crazy couple and this crazy cool series, I want more crazy antics and Dino love !!
I wished it was longer, it covered all the basis in terms of good character development and banter and an engaging storyline but it left me feeling like I needed a whole lot more, like I’d only had an entre, part of my main course and a lick of dessert.
Possibly two narrators would have worked better however Kirt did a more than a commendable job.

I’m in Punk Dino LOVE

it is an entirety enjoyable urban fantasy with a Dino twist. It is definitely a must read for mm romance lovers who happen to also be dinosaur geeks.

silly fun

its been about a year since I first listened and I just had to reread. Dalton and his paleontologist are too cute together.

Still love it.
