Bull Moon Rising

De: Ruby Dixon

Narrado por: Felicity Munroe, Hiro Diaz

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In a world of magical artifacts and fantastical beings, a woman determined to save her family joins forces with an unlikely partner—a minotaur—in this steamy romantasy by USA Today bestselling author Ruby Dixon.

As a Holder’s daughter, Aspeth Honori knows the importance of magical artifacts . . . which is why it’s a disaster that her father has gambled all theirs away. Now that her family is in danger of losing their hold—and their heads—if anyone finds out the truth, Aspeth decides to do something about it. She’ll join the Royal Artifactual Guild and the adventurers who explore ancient underground ruins to retrieve the coveted arcane items.

It’s a great plan—with one big problem. The guild won’t let her train because she’s a woman. Aspeth needs a chaperone of some kind. The best way to get around this problem? Marry someone who will let her become an apprentice. Who better than a surly guild member who requires a favor of his own? He’s a minotaur (it’s fine) who is her teacher (also fine) . . . and he’s about to go into rut (which is where it gets tricky). He also has no idea she’s a noble (oops), and he’ll want nothing to do with her if he discovers her real identity.

Now Aspeth just has to pass the guild tests, thwart a fortune hunter, and save her hold—oh, and survive a rut with her monstrous, horned husband, whom she might be falling in love with.

It’s time to dig deep. Literally.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Ruby Dixon can do it all: she builds a stunning world, creates compelling, lovable characters, and then hits me with the minotaur smut I always knew I wanted. I came for the monster sex, but what really drew me in is a beautifully poignant story of found family, in which two outcasts team up to take on a broken system and fall in love in the process. (I mean, the monster smut drew me in, too...) This better be the first in a whole series, because I am OBSESSED with everyone. Bull Moon Rising is simply glorious, and Ruby Dixon and The Sacred Knot have my whole heart!"—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A steamy marriage of convenience featuring all the unusual anatomy Dixon’s fans expect. The worldbuilding is well done and the love story convincing. Dixon should win a whole new set of readers with this."—Publishers Weekly

“This steamy paranormal fantasy romance is filled with found family and sweet characters.”—Shelf Awareness

As always Ruby has outdone herself 🩷

Such a great story! Definitely more plot heavy than some of her other books but I actually really enjoyed that! Such great world building (per usual) and the characters were so great!!!! Lower spicy than some of her other stuff but once it happened it was spicy and (k)naughty 😉!

Loved it!

As a Ruby Dixon fan, I was pretty excited for this book. It did not disappoint. Honestly it even exceeded my expectations. You can tell that a lot of care went into creating these characters and this world. The romance had me giggling and blushing. Loved it!

Such a nice lighthearted read

I absolutely loved this book! Voice actors were top tier! Loved every secondof this book!💚💗💜

Fantastic performance and amazing story!

This is the first audiobook I have listened to since I was a kid. An absolutely wonderful captivating story with a beautiful romance. It was all I could think about since the moment I picked it up.
The performance of the two voice actors was outstanding! Such a wide range for both of them with so much emotion.
Definitely a must listen, a masterpiece all around.

Very spicy but narration is excellent

I enjoyed the book. It’s very very spicy which I typically enjoy but even this was a like a lot and very specific. lol. But the story was good. Character development was good and overall I enjoyed the story. But I think I enjoyed it more because of the narration.

Loved this new series; Awesome performance

If you like Ruby Dixon then you’ll love this book. It’s an entirely new series, and I can’t wait for her to write more. Read other reviews if u wanna know plot stuff, no spoilers over here. Anyways, it’s the first book of hers that’s not on Kindle Unlimited that I know of, and I’ve read all 1939484848448 of her other books, but it’s worth it. So glad that the audiobook came out the same day as the written book. The dual narration was on point. The performers read not only the MMC and FMC, but all male and female parts. I even slowed it down to 1.2 speed just to enjoy it more. Only gripe was it wasn’t whisper synced. Get this book already.

A Fun New Addition to Ruby's Great Lineup!

I have always enjoyed Ruby Dixon's creative offspring. This is my new favorite full novel-length books. I loved the FMC and her growth. The side characters were also fun and given some depth. Nicely planned plot! The narrators were great and spot on with POV switching. What a fun read! I am hoping for more in this series.

Just Wow

First of all, that is how narration should be done, just absolutely outstanding! This story is definitely out of the box from what I usually listen to, but boy I sure hope there are more stories to come in this series!

The story was amazing!

Loved the adventure Loved the people Loved the voices Loved everything about it, just listen to it and get lost!

Amazing performance!!!

The story in itself is all things fantasy and fun with spice. Very original and creative writing by the author but the audio book performance put this over the top for me. Wow! Superb! I loved the multiple voices. I will be recommending the audio version to all my bookish friends.
