Blurb:

I’m ready for the chaos of Texas to be a speck in my rearview mirror.
So when the museum director throws me a bone by arranging for us to visit a fossil dig in Utah, I jump at the opportunity.

I need a breather from all the craziness that has become my life since waking multiple dino shifters. A dig in Utah sounds like exactly what I need, the perfect getaway. As long as I stay away from any dino shifter bones… other than in the bedroom, of course.

The first surprise was the primitive campsite. These cabins don’t even have running water. Oof.
The second surprise was being chased through the woods by someone—or something. Gulp.
The third? Well, let’s just say my attacker was more than a little freaked out when we tumbled into a pit and he came face-to-face with a brontosaurus. Surprise, mother-clucker!

You would have thought dealing with a newly awakened shifter, and working through things with Albert would have been enough drama for one vacation. But someone is stealing from the dig site, and suspicion falls on everyone in the campsite… including my mates, Suli, and me.

My mates create a security detail to unravel the mystery, while I spend my time learning how to control my magic. I absolutely suck at it, but don’t judge me! It’s just really tough, okay?

How’s a girl supposed to manage four dinosaur shifters, a sexy detective on high alert, and Albert Einswine, who continues to cause endless mischief and chaos?

I’ll tell you how—with lots of coffee, no sleep, and a possibly a slight detour into madness. Ignore the evil maniacal laughter. Maybe I’ll feel better after a nap.

Review:

I love it when a series flows from one book to the other without breaking a sweat and this series does that. Sass, corny chapter jokes, and the characters continue to flourish through each book that it takes hold of the reader and has them eager for the next book, the next laugh, and the next storyline to pull them to the last page.

Arizona has been through a traumatic experience from the last book and there was a revelation that came along with it, but none of her mates are aware of it. So, when Arizona and her mates are given a chance to take a breather and attend a dig campsite. Sprinkle in flying pigs and a brand new dinosaur and you have a recipe for hilarity and spice.

This series continues to be a fun addition and I love that we are seeing new additions to Arizona's harem. Pretty soon that girl is going to have to buy an entire castle just to have a large wing for her men. LOL

In all seriousness, I am glad we did get more of Albert. I would, however, like to know more of his backstory and why the dinos are all afraid/wary of him. I am aware they call him a demon and he has come out and said he is not at all good but what I want to know is why?

And what are his connections to the other dinosaur? I am hoping to see these questions answered in the next installments.

Sypnosis: I have huge man problems.
Literally, since one of my mates is a T-Rex.

Things are about to get interesting, because my day job happens to be in a museum.
A museum full of dinosaur bones, if you know what I mean.

It turns out my bloodline is older than dirt, and an ancestral matchmaker decided to send me some gifts…aka, men. And not just any men, but dinosaur shifters from the past.

I’ve read enough paranormal romance to know all about fated mates, but I’ve never heard of fated dinosaur mates. These men are supposed to be my perfect match, here to help me learn about my magic. Rawr. Yes, they are as sexy as you are imagining.

My life had been a routine of working and spending time watching TV with my pet pig, Albert Einswine. Now I needed to learn to control the magic I never knew I had, learn more about my family line, and help these sexy dino shifters adjust to modern society.

All while hiding a T-Rex sized secret from the world.

To make matters worse, detectives are looking into the explosion I may or may not have caused when my blood mixed with some magic-infused ancient dust, which is a serious problem since the sexy green-eyed detective has my heart flip-flopping in my chest.

Dinosaurs & Disasters is a light-hearted romantic comedy with a whole lot of steam! This isn’t a save-the-world type of story, but rather it focuses on Arizona’s coming into her hidden abilities and tracking down each of her fated mates.

Review: Okay, this was the first time I have EVER come across dinosaur shifters and I knew I had to get it. I love Jurassic Park/Jurassic World and I do enjoy shifter novels from time to time, but dinosaurs will be my first taste of something entirely different.

Also, this was my first book by Sedona Ashe and I must say her story kept me settled down on the couch until the final page was turned. I really enjoyed this book immensely. I also enjoyed the little pig named Albert Einswine. The little pig is so cute and such an adorable sidekick. I could not understand why such a sweet little thing could bring down dinosaurs to their knees. This was the first I had ever seen Apex predators.

I wish Sedona had given a reason why pigs were so scary to dinosaurs. I hope she explains that a bit to us because I don't see Albert being anything like that. Although, I do believe the little pig loves the power he wields.

The only downside was that the relationships seemed unrealistic. I would have thought that Arizona would establish her relationships with both Rez and Zon. I would like to see something more substantial made over these relationships. I don't know I just felt the relationships seemed forced and less realistic. Even with the arrival of Jack, the agent suddenly fell in love with her.

I am quite looking forward to the next book and I hope it changes my mind just a little bit on the relationships shared between them all.
