Queen B’s Decree: Yes, I know, this is a conscious choice I made.
Our Utahraptor is sentient here (unlike the Triceratops book I read earlier this year) and went to high school with human, Holly. Her long term relationship is not going well, and she runs back into 12 FOOT TALL Rocky when she visits her hometown. And immediately jumps into bed with him.
Which…was interesting; the mechanics of it, the awkwardly and unsexy descriptions (meat breath, anyone??), the sprinkling of Mormonism. All I Want for Christmas is Utahraptor was a whirlwind of…things. I did love how Rocky was all about consent. Not so much how Holly was still in a relationship while doing the dirty with Rocky. Like I get it girl, you’re planning to break up—but you haven’t so take a look at yourself mmkay.
All in all, Rocky was a cinnamon roll despite being a giant, carnivorous predator but I can’t get past his meat breath kisses.
