Yet another super enjoyable read, set in this awesome magical world. Loved both these MC's a lot. Their romance and character development is beautifully written down, as was the case with No man can Tame as well. The author really knows how to write characters you can really connect with.

There's again a nice amount of politics present, a good story line build up as well as excitement and some more dept/development regarding magical creatures present in this world, like unicorns in this instance; what we learned from them in this story, was so exciting! Would love love love to get more unicorns in this series in later books.

Do think that, as I've experienced with the first book in the series, the HEA is accomplished a bit too easy but then again... this way, books like these just make for super fun, easy reads that you can so perfectly lose yourself in and just fly through. Excited to read the next one!

This book is a standalone and companion novel in the series. Can be read before the first book, but I recommend reading them in publishing order; so to start with No man Can Tame before you dive into Bright of the Moon.

I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I have been patiently waiting for Bright of the Moon ever since I read No Man Can Tame. I want to state that it was DEFINITELY worth the wait. Miranda Honfleur delivers her readers a tale woven with angst, threats around every corner, unexpected treachery, and believable romance.

I enjoyed the internal dialogue in both main characters (Arabella & Dhuro). The author does a fabulous job using this tool to help us understand the story, the history, and fully develop the characters.

I love that we can fully comprehend how terrifying the elves of Nightbloom really are when Dhuro is not considered a worthy warrior amongst them and he is overwhelmingly formidable. Comparing him to his brethren perfectly sets the stage for how harrowing the journey in this book truly is.

And HELLO unicorns! I do not want to spoil anything, but one of the best things about this book is learning about the creatures who may appear in later books in this series. It has completely stoked my curiosity fire for the next book.

Honfleur creates a captivating read and you will not be able to tear your eyes from the pages! Readers prepare yourselves for this sizzling and fantastical beauty. 5 stars.

Oh, the case of the series didn't need a sequel. While I enjoyed the plot twist of unicorn shape-shifters, a novel on the whole ordeal felt very unnecessary in my opinion. The chapters were fairly short and felt lacking of the same power the author had in the first novel. Nonetheless, it was an okay plotline.

Bella and Dhuro's story was enjoyable. I felt like I could relate to Bella's character and loved how honest she was. I wished their romance was a little slower. I felt at moments their feelings for each other grew a little too quickly, but I love them together and wouldn't want it any other way. I enjoy how this world builds on the Blade and Rose world.

This is such a great story! It’s wonderfully written and the descriptions make you feel like you are right there with the characters! I loved the romance between Bella and Dhuro as they grow from enemies to lovers. The world is beautiful and I love the magic and the magical creatures! If you like romantic fantasy then this is for you!

I received and ARC from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I was excited to finally be able to read the next installment of this series. I enjoyed the storyline and characters. I liked how it weaved in/mentioned other characters from the other books. I Iook forward to the next book.
