Publisher Description
My name is Calliope and "I bone for a living." Kidding. I am studying to be a paleontologist though. It's the only thing I've ever wanted to be, and I have finally landed the perfect museum internship to make all of my dino-loving dreams come true.
Trouble is, everyone wants me to be a gentle, loving sort of creature, but I'm more of the T-Rex type by nature - the kind who is determined to stomp and tear her way through any obstacle in order to get what she wants.
But when a sexy, rumbly-voiced astronomer plummets into my orbit and threatens to break open my hard little heart, my career and my whole way of looking at the world is suddenly on the line.
The dinosaurs didn't see their asteroid coming.
And I sure as hell wasn't prepared for mine.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Talk nerdy to me! In her first book, Erin Mallon—an award-winning audiobook narrator—charms us with a geeky meet-cute story set in and around Philadelphia’s Museum of Natural Sciences. There, budding astronomer Ralph and education intern (and aspiring paleontologist) Calliope are busy working on establishing themselves in their dream careers. But when an intimate moment amid the fossils goes viral, Mallon’s charming duo are forced to choose between the jobs they love or their new romance. We couldn’t get enough of Calliope’s quirky voice. Flirtasaurus’ hilarious dialogue practically begs to be read out loud.

4.5 stars
Flirtasaurus is the authors first book and I have to say that I thought it was an incredibly fun read where I laughed alot!! So much quirkyness and entertaining banter that was right up my alley!
It was incredibly easy to read and enjoyable as well! I really enjoyed the characters and the way Calliope just said everything that came to mind was entertaining!
It was a refreshing story that had some outlandish but hilarious moments and I just thought it was a fantastic read!!
If you are after a story a little outside of the box, then this is just what you need!
A lighthearted, kinda ridiculous but with a lighthearted and witty storyline!!
Great work on your first book Ms Mallon! Cant wait for more!
Enjoyable
I was intrigued by the blurb for this book (not to mention I loved the title Flirtasaurus) and having listened to numerous books narrated by Erin Mallon, I was intrigued to read and review this book as this is her debut novel.
The characters were quirky, easy to relate too and I enjoyed the banter. In fact there were quite a few laugh out loud moments throughout and I enjoyed the journey Calliope and Ralph travelled to get their happily ever after.
Calliope is a strong woman and I really liked her. The fact that she was focused on becoming a paleontologist and determined to succeed added to my enjoyment of the story. Ralph is totally swoon worthy and I loved how caring and supportive he is of Calliope.
I appreciated that Ms. Mallon was not afraid to write about characters who were flawed and this added an additional layer to my enjoyments of the story.
