This was a charming romp with a few plot holes and several truly very smart moments--the bit about Aspeth's desire to keep her morality vs . live was, I felt, a particularly effective note. Also, more authors should have characters who don't have their whole plan figured out yet. It made sense in the plot and stopped things from feeling too convoluted when it didn't serve.

I love Ruby Dixon and anything they write. This was no different. Great world, great spice, great drama. 10/10

Aspeth (FMC) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
daughter of nobility, hoping to help her family out financially. Has a pet cat named Squeaker and a maid that is her best friend named Gwenna.

Hawk (MMC) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Minotaur, teacher. Has a tail 🫣 About to go into rut, wants to connect with a female.

The Bull Moon Rising story begins with a lot of back history to explain The Royal Artifactual Guild, which Aspeth is hoping to join to help out her family.

There are a lot of terms, people, and places that I did not really understand. Maybe further in into the series things will start to make sense.

I enjoyed the Ice Planet series and am hoping for good things out of these stories as well!!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title!

I absolutely love Ruby Dixon. I will say that this one was a little slow for me on the actual romance portion of the book.
