Ruby Moone
23 books137 followersBiography
My name is Ruby Moone and I love books. All kinds of books. My weakness is for romance, and that can be any kind, but I am particularly fond of historical and paranormal. I decided to write gay romance after reading some fantastic books and falling in love with the genre, so am really thrilled to have my work published here. The day job takes up a lot of my time, but every other spare moment finds me writing or reading. I live in the north west of England with my husband who thinks that I live in two worlds. The real world and in the world in my head...he probably has a point!

Historias cortas y por lo tanto las he encontrado con bastante poco desarrollo, tanto en historia como en personajes. 🤐

Great writing, solid m/m Historical Romance with tender scenes, hot sex, and dramatic moments
Ruby Moone is a fantastic writer; her sentences flow and, unlike the choppy, bare bones descriptions used by some authors, she uses fresh, sometimes sparkling, combinations of adjectives, nouns and verbs that breathe life into the familiar formulas of the genre. But she also excels in exploring a character's inner life and plotting dramatic stories. So far I've only read Trapped from this 4 box set. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the set, but I enjoyed Trapped very much; outs full off tender scenes, very hot sex, and some very dramatic moments.

A Bounty of Rogues & Lovers
This anthology strings together two short stories and two novellas, the latter two interrelated as to plot and characters. You can buy them separately, but I thoroughly enjoyed working my way through this anthology of 19th Century England because all four books featured similar MC's: A member of the gentry (or aristocracy) and a commoner meet accidently and fall in love despite class and emotional differences.
In "Fallen" and "The Heat of the Moment," we have two couplings which are seemingly too serendipitous and chancy but turn out to be beautifully developed within a short time-span of narrative. In the former retired army Major Oliver and his former army subordinate Daniel--how they reconnect, and find love. In the latter you just had to imagine what would have happened if Robert was less of a free spirit to Milo's despairing, bitter soul. Their romance was life affirming and delicious.
"The Wrong Kind of Angel" and "Trapped" are exceptionally well developed with a bounty of supporting characters who aid or try to dispose of Charles and Harry in the former and Tristan and Sam in the latter. These two have intricate plots, some violence, a lot of adventure and in both Harry and Sam two lower middle class individuals with far more class and humility than most of the rest of their aristocratic elders or peers--and certainly more than the dastardly individuals who plot deeds against them.
Truly wonderful tour-de-force by an author I will continue to follow. Bravo!

Wasn't sure what to expect with this. Was mildly disappointed with the lack of plot focus on the first two stories but realized they were shorts and the last two novellas? Either way, thoroughly enjoyed them overall. The last two stories broke my freaking heart (and mending it again, no worries).

Great read from Kindle Unlimited. Four books and all of them are historical m/m good. Set in England in what appears to be the 1800s. I will read more from this author.

Un ensemble de romances historiques mignonnes mais trop dégoulinantes et mièvres parfois
