This book had so much going on. It was an entertaining and easy read like many werewolf romances, and this one did have plot points that aren’t common in others. I think the book was longer than it needed to be, and could potentially have been split into two. At some points it felt like the book was trying to have every trope it could and felt a little out of place, but the last third of the book was my favorite. I raced through the end!
I was picked as an ARC reader for this book. As someone who read the original I would have to say I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the remake of it.
It was a little hard to get past some on the name changes, but I become attached to characters so that’s all me.
I love Aiden and Roses’ story. I love how they have their ups and downs. I love how in this story line the woman holds all the power and even if he didn’t want her she would still be the Luna of the pack based on her mark.
Ruby K does an amazing job bringing out your emotions in this book when it comes to Aiden. Sometimes you want to punch him for being stupid, but ultimately we love him because of how he grows with Rose by his side.
I highly recommend this book.

Reading this book is like binge watching a coming of age drama. I was so invested for the whole read. I did not anticipate the journey that Ruby K. took me on. If you love romance and are looking for a way to ease into the world of fantasy, this book is for you! I would say it’s 70% romance and 30% fantasy. It takes place in modern day times and goes through common life scenarios that take minimal effort to interpret. Not to mention it’s written in dual first person POV, which we love. ❤️
I am a sucker for a nerdy FMC in STEM. I honestly felt like I saw a lot of myself in the main character and I think a lot of individuals can probably empathize with feeling insecure and not confident in their own body, no matter what you look like. It was really inspiring to see Rose go from being a young teenage girl to a woman, having gained the confidence that really allowed her to shine as she was learning how to thrive in the role of Luna and support her newly found pack family. And Aiden, the alpha MMC? I can’t talk about without blushing. 😊 The sexual tension had me reeling in anticipation for whatever was going to happen next. 🎣
To sum it up, this story is about a boy and a girl who find out in their late teens (virtually as strangers) that they are destined to be werewolf mates. They both almost treat this like it’s some historic nonsensical myth that they can avoid, but do they end up fighting fate or giving in? You’re just going to have to read to find out for yourself. 😘
His fated Luna by Ruby K Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The love story was so perfect with the challenges and twists. I love that Rose wasnt whiny but i wish she was more driven. I feel like they didn’t accurately portray the difficulty in the schooling for pack doctors although the attempt was there. The family dynamics were great. I look forward to everyone’s story! Maybe Tanya the most. I received an arc and voluntarily leave this honest review. The book releases 10/29/26.

BLURB: What do you do when your d3@d dad makes a surprise appearance on your 18th birthday? Not only is he still alive but you find out you are not a human. Instead, you are a werewolf destined to become Luna of a pack you know nothing about. And as the predestined Luna, you possess a very special ability which is why it was important to keep you hidden away in the human world. Oh, and your destined mate? The Alpha? He didn't even know you existed and is in love with someone else.
🌍 𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕦𝕚𝕝𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕨𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘: I enjoyed the book as a whole, there were moments I couldn't stop reading even at 3 am, but there were also times that were slower and seemed irrelevant/confusing. I really liked the main plot and most of the subplots. The author did an incredible job with the love triangle and the Unrequited love trope, my goodness did I feel that deep in my heart! The rejection was sharp and well carried out, lasting for the perfect amount of time, and was perfectly written. I enjoyed the back and forth of the Luna and the girlfriend and how well written the jealousy was. I'm kinda spiteful so personally I wished our luna would have gotten herself a boyfriend and at least gone to forplay status just so that Aiden could feel the pain of his own making.
I thought the Miscommunication aspect was well written, it annoys me most of the time because I don't mind a little to start off with, but then I get annoyed and start yelling at the characters to just talk to each other! But just as I was about to pluck these thoughts into being- the characters talked! So I would say it was written well and enhanced the story without dragging it out.
I did have a problem with the pacing along the way. As I said above there were times it was a lot slower and I feel that is because of the amount of time the book spanned. It covered years from introducing us to the main characters to the end of the book. This became a little puzzling along the way because in one chapter you'd move along in time from either one week to the next, or more. I did think the first half of the book was better paced, spanning those time jumps well and smoothly.
The spice- I LOVED the spice! The yearning and jealousy were delicious and then we moved into passion and devotion. We went from a virgin FMC to a strong woman who wasn't afraid to ask for what she wanted! I absolutely adore an fmc with curvy body positivity, a healthy appetite for s3x and an open mind, wanting to grow, learn and explore with her partner!! I will hold my hands up and expected a 3 way at one point! I think it's sad that the main couple didn't start off with kissing and foreplay sessions, and private sessions to help with their desires because I feel that could have led to more closeness and intimacy showing he was there for her needs and she could trust him. And the solo time showing how frustrated or wanting they were for each other.
The only real confusion for me in this book, was when a clock came into the story. I thought it was going one way and it didn't, it was a bit redundant really. I presume and hope it will be a major theme in one of the other books and that's why it was mentioned but it just threw me as it was quite pointless and if you took that section out of this book it would make no difference.
I think I most enjoyed how many subplots this story had going on, there were many layers to it which kept my interest high. I love how we had the rejected mates, into an independent woman preparing for her career, learning about pack life, the suspicious nature of the previous alpha's death, the current danger to the Luna's safety, and the list goes on...
The found family trope was so well executed in this book! Our luna went from being all alone to being welcomed into a large family and pack life. The writing was brilliant, the scenarios were real and believable and the whole thing felt so relatable!
🧝♂️ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤: I found the characters to be well developed and had good personal growth, the side characters and family members all had a story to tell and their own part carved out in this one which helped the story along with depth and detail.
I enjoyed watching the FMC grow and learn and develop her place in the pack. It was a shame she didn't become more practical and cunning when it came to her fated mates however that's a personal thing because I genuinely see how loving her character is and I suppose it wouldn't have fit to have her manipulate her way into opening his eyes- no matter how much I would have loved that to happen! (I think I just like a good dose of your own medicine / in your face moment)
I hold my hands up and say I HÀTE Lexia! I mean when I got to the end of the book I understood more but I still hate her. I personally feel that to make you truly hate a character the author has to be damn good. It's easy to dislike someone or hate something they've done, but to actually form such a strong opinion on a fictional character takes some doing and my word did she do it well!
😥 𝕎𝕙𝕪 𝕟𝕠 𝕗𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕤? The pace was a little too up and down for me, and there were a couple of confusing moments where I had to go back and re-read things to understand where I was at.
⏳ 𝕎𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕚 𝕣𝕖-𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕠𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕕? I will definitely be recommending this to my shifter-loving friends! I would re-read before the next book came out but I don't think it's a mood read that I'd grab to enjoy again.
🪧𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕤: A story filled with yearning, jealousy, growth, found family pack life, explorative spice, 'mine' moments, and danger. With it being explicit I do wish there was knotting in it. And I loved how the curvy FMC went from shy, blushing virgin to being unafraid to ask for what she wanted from her man!
⭐️⭐️ I managed to finish it but it was rubbish. I won't keep a physical copy and won't recommend it, but it's a shame as the plot could have made a good book in another author's hands
⭐️⭐️.5 It was OK. I wish I didn't start this one as it didn't do it for me as I struggled to read it. It had an interesting premise that fell flat but I had to see what happened in the end.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don't regret reading it, and I will read the next one, but this one did have a few flaws. [These could be repetitive writing, gaps or plot holes, better character growth or world building, areas needing more detail] Generally, the book lacked depth and became confusing. The plot resonated with me even though it annoyed me on the whole.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 I'm glad I read it. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to the right people, but I wanted more! Sadly, it's easily forgettable with a few issues I just couldn't overlook/get past.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good book! I loved it, but... I needed more! I really did enjoy it, but it had a few parts that needed more detail or added history/background or lore. But that's because the story or characters were memorable, and the plot was strong with brilliant twists. I would re-read if I needed to catch up for the next book and would recommend.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Great book! I truly wish the story had been thought about more, or the author had been given more time as this book is so close to brilliance! I will likely read again and will definitely be recommending it to all!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WOW! Absolutely amazing book! Well written with great characters and a plot so memorable that it will stay with me. I will definitely read this again, I will be recommending it and sharing it with the whole world! Also- I NEED A PHYSICAL COPY!
🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥 This is my God level tier. The book must be perfectly memorable. Even after reading 50+ more books, I will remember character names and emotions along with the plot. If there is a special edition, then I need to own it! If there is a conversation on books- I'm talking about this!

Imagine waking up one day to find out your whole life is built on a secret! A secret that was meant to keep you safe and out of harm’s way, but it opens up a whole world you didn’t even know existed. This is exactly what happens in Ruby K’s His Fated Luna, book 1 in her Bloodfire Phoenix series. This book is full of heart, passion, drama, tension, and yearning. I adore how Ruby K writes her shifter romances and how the storyline weaves throughout the pages. I couldn’t put this book down and found myself completely immersed in the story and the characters.
Rose has no clue she is a shifter. She was raised in isolation with her aunt, but didn’t know it was for her safety as someone wanted her dead when she was younger. The pack that she was removed from has no idea she exists, outside of her family, and life went on as anyone would expect it to. When she finds out she’s not only a shifter, but also a fated luna for this pack, she quickly finds herself thrown into a world she knows nothing about. To top everything off, she even has a fated mate….who is engaged to someone else. Rose is a FMC that I loved watching grow into her true power. She is sweet, but fierce when she needs to be.
Aiden is Rose’s fated mate and the current Alpha of their pack. He has chosen his mate, a choice made for logic, not love, and is caught off guard when he finds out he has a fated mate. He and Lexia have made plans for the pack’s future, their future, and Rose was not a part of them, obviously. And while Livia is less than thrilled about Rose’s arrival, Aiden can’t deny the pull he feels towards her, even though he fights it with his entire being.
As Aiden and Rose spend more and more time together the tension between them is thick and amped up perfectly with the underlying desire they have for each other, but refuse to act on (at first). Ruby K wrote their relationship in such a way that you can truly feel them falling in love as you read their story. It isn’t overnight, but builds organically, finally becoming something neither one can ignore. And while this book is on the longer side, every part of it is important to the storyline. It is void of filler, each word serving purpose to progress the story and bring our MCs closer and closer to their fate.
As always, review any author notes before reading.

Review: Talk about taking the fated mate trope and turning it on its ear. If you are sick of the regular fated mate stories this one will have you at the edge of your seat. I so badly want to tell you more about this story, but I don't want to spoil it. What I can say you will question if this couple ever comes together. You will gasp when you realize who holds the true power within this couple. You stay engaged until the end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I believe you will as well.
I RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS AN ARC HOWEVER MY REVIEW ARE BASED ON MY OPINION OF THE BOOK ITSELF AND NOT INFLUENCED BY THE AUTHOR, ETC.
Okay, hear me out. I know miscommunication tropes can be divisive, but Ruby K.? She nailed it. I was so invested that every interruption felt like a personal offense! The tension, the back-and-forth, the emotional whiplash? Frustrating in the best way.
Rose is new to pack life, having just discovered the family who sent her away years ago — not out of cruelty, but to protect her. Raised in isolation with only her aunt, her world flips upside down when she’s pulled into the chaos of shifter society. Enter Aiden: the brooding, duty-bound Alpha who’s convinced he’ll never have a fated mate. He’s already chosen Lexia, a match made from logic, not longing — and let’s just say, Lexia is not thrilled when Rose arrives.
Rose, sweet but fiery, challenges everything Aiden thought he knew. Their connection is undeniable, primal, and full of push-pull tension. The word “MINE” becomes a battle cry as they fight fate, family, and their own fears.
I’m a sucker for shifter romances, but this one? A plus-size heroine who drives her Alpha mate full-on feral? That’s the kind of representation I crave. I devoured all 666 pages (I know) of this THICC read and loved every moment.
Thank you to Ruby K. for this incredible e-ARC. I’m already counting down the days until the next one— and maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a little more of Rose and Aiden!
Tropes I adored: Slow burn 🔥 Fated mate vs Chosen Mate 💫 She loves first, He falls harder👀 Possessive MMC🐺 Alphahole energy 💥 Delicious miscommunication 😤
I read the first version of this book back in 2021/2022 I believe and fell in love with the story in general and the books that followed
It’s still a werewolf fated mate novel but in this storyline the luna holds all the power unlike with 99% of the other werewolf stories.
When I got the opportunity to read this rewrite of the storyline I was excited.
After finishing it I still love the book, still love the story, but I prefer the first version of the book.
I like the new name for the Alpha (Aiden instead of Xavier), but prefered Janet instead of Tanya and Alyssa instead of Lexia. Love the new title and the name change for the pack, but the story was shortened, which sometimes made it feel like the story was jumping from a cliff onto a trampoline to make it to the next cliff. So in parts it felt rushed. Personally I’m not sure this make-over was for the best. Still gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cause i love the storyline. But i think the writing was better in the first version.
I will reread the story but the original one from 4 years ago. For me it made for an easier read.
This book I absolutely devoured! It gave me Wattpad vibes and I was totally all for it! I went through all the emotions, wanting to throw my book because they couldn’t communicate properly in the beginning which just made for more issues between them, looooving the way he falls hard first, fanning myself for the way Aidan went alpha on Rose and so much more!
This book certainly gave me my werewolf fix because Ruby K knew exactly what she was doing with all the twists and turns this book provided. She wrapped it up nicely too but be warned…. When you read about Dylan… you are going to be DESPERATE as you wait for his story because I know I am!
What I also really enjoyed from the book was it didn’t feel like your typical werewolf romance where he didn’t want her because he had someone else and deemed her not good enough. Aiden struggled to leave Lexia- the shewolf he had chosen as his mate - because he thought he didn’t have one and was doing it for the good of his pack but in the end it showed that he couldn’t keep his commitment that he tried so hard to do for Lexia because the pull and attraction he had for Rose was so much more.
Torn between duty and desire, Aiden’s story is one that questions whether fate or choice truly defines love. Bound to Lexia but drawn to Rose, he’s forced to decide if honoring a bond means denying the pull of his heart—or if love itself can rewrite destiny.
I liked this book, but I found parts of it a little repetitive, especially in how certain thoughts or phrases were expressed. The worldbuilding had potential, but I wanted more—more details, more depth, more pieces to help me fully understand the world I was being pulled into. At times, it felt like something was missing, as if a few important threads hadn’t quite been tied together.
Even with those issues, it wasn’t a bad read. The pacing started slow (at least for me), but once the story hit its stride, it really picked up. The last 200 pages were easily my favorite—they were emotional, intense, and made the journey feel worth it.
I'll start by saying that I liked the book. It's a romance novel about werewolves and his fated mate. What I liked most was that the author really tried to show us the development of the relationship between the main characters, the overcoming of their fears and insecurities. At some point, it seemed to me that there was even more of that than necessary, but in the end, the story wouldn't have been complete without it. The characters evoked a lot of emotions; sometimes I even got angry at them, and that's an indicator that the book is captivating and doesn't leave you indifferent. There are many plot twists, attention to detail, and of course, spice. I will definitely read the sequel because I've already grown attached to the other characters and want to know their story as well. 100% recommend it.
Love triangle, mystery, character growth, and a slow burn that is totally worth the wait. I absolutely loved this story the first time I read it. I did not think it could get any better and well, I was wrong cause it did! An alpha and a Luna who are destined to be together from birth but must get past not only external struggles but internal as well. Not to mention stubbornness on both ends that just makes you want to yell, cry, laugh, and say to yourself just one more chapter. A love story that is so worth reading and will get you hooked in this world that Ruby created. I honestly fell in love with the characters all over again. I so enjoyed entering this world again and being reintroduced to the now Bloodfire Phoenix pack. I can’t wait for the next books to be released and to fall in love again with the characters.
I found the book to be a thoroughly enjoyable read, though I must admit that I struggled to connect with Aiden; his character left much to be desired. On the other hand, Rose came across as excessively sweet and overly eager to please everyone around her, which sometimes felt unrealistic. As a result my favorite character was Jake, he was willing to step up when others turned tail and ran.
The side characters were another highlight of the story for me. I particularly enjoyed watching Dylan and Tony; they added richness to the story. My heart truly went out to Dylan—he went through so much hardship, and it felt unjust for him to endure all those trials. His character added an emotional depth that resonated with me, making the story even more compelling.
I received a free copy of this book and really enjoyed the storyline. It was a quick read for me, and I absolutely loved Rose as the main character. I do wish she had been a little more dominant and confident in expressing her needs and wants without worrying so much about offending others.
I’ll admit, I was frustrated at times with Alpha Aiden. He came across as immature and a bit too focused on his own wants and needs. I actually found myself rooting for the underdog to end up being Rose’s choice. The lack of communication between Aiden and Rose felt a little overdone, but it didn’t take away from the story overall.
A good book should make you feel something, whether it's good or bad, and this one definitely did. I’d recommend giving it a read!
I love the progression of the relationship between our FMC and MMC. I also am excited for the upcoming stories that had been teased throughout the book. My only gripe, I guess, is that there was a pount where FMC needlessly (imo) put herself in danger. Like it could've been prevented, but she was so assured that she didn't take precautions. She's smart, but there was a point she got overruled by her emotions, which is valid, but unfortunately that particular situation is a pet peeve of mine, I'm sorry. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book, and I'm proud to say that despite the number of pages, I didn't turn to read to another book immediately/during reading this one lol.
This book, this book, this book! I could not put it down.
Trigger warning there is a scene that could be potentially triggering for someone who’s been sexually assaulted. This book actually helped me work through some of my feelings and emotions based around my own personal experiences.
Aiden and Rose‘s relationship at one point was giving me a beauty and the beast vibe that left me wanting. This story has so many twists and unexpected turns.
I hope Dylan and Lexia get the love they deserve. Their character development really threw me through a loop.
Tony also deserves all the love in the world!!
Main tropes: touch her and die, forced proximity, enemies to lovers.
Please girl hire an editor😭 Normally I can space out and ignore some typos but its CONSTANT. Formatting and grammar errors are also super bad. Even if you can't afford an editor you at least needed some more beta readers or something.
Also, I'm going to be honest. I've read some really well written shifter romances, this is not one of them, it reads like a fanfic. Took me right back to 2014 Wattpad and not in a fun nostalgia way.
2 stars, only because this was the book I picked up to be a pallete cleanser after an even worse book that made me unironically gag. That being said, it had potential; it just could've used more careful editing and possibly a professional eye.
DNFed at 18% because I realized that I was not surviving 600 pages of that.
If you're familiar with werewolf fated mate books than you know the old familiar tropes where the alpha wolf treats his fated mate in a cruel way because of a woman he was dating from high school and then he has to grovel his way back into her good graces once he's seen the error of his ways. This book has the comfort of that with some new refreshing twists that are worth the read. Pair that with a female that never tears down other women, but also doesn't need to be a plucky sarcastic sassy Luna who fights the rogues next to the alpha and you've got a great spin on a worn down genre.
Tropes: Slow burn Fated mate Other woman drama Possessive male lead Alphahole Miscommunication
His Fated Luna was a good read. Twists and turns and some parts very unexpected. I really enjoyed the banter between Rose and Aiden and 2.5 🌶️🌶️ in spice. Tropes: enemies to lovers, touch her and die, retriever mate.
Aiden is the alpha of his pack and thinks that he loves Lexia. He doesn’t know that his fated mate is out there and being hidden until the right moment. When he meets Rose, Aiden is in denial that Rose is his mate and makes her life very hard. It takes a while for her to come around and accept her life ahead of her as Luna. Many blocks are put up against Rose being a Luna including a family member being poisoned with no antidote in sight.
I got this book as an arc reader and thank the author for allowing me a chance to read and review her book. So I love how the book is set up with actual story then to the next part of their lives. So Rose as an infant was in trouble because she was fated to be Luna of the pack and people wanted to kidnap her so the alpha of the pack wouldn’t be as strong. I love that Ruby K wrote the storyline of why Rose was separated and when she found out who she was. It was mini story time jump mini story time jump which is honestly sooooo much better than like a flashback. Anyway I won’t give too much away but Aiden and Rose have such a nice love story.
This is a rewrite with some name & scene changes. Personally, I enjoy the original better. However, it was still a good rewrite. I do feel like the beginning was a bit rushed compared to the original. We were barely introduced to some characters when the main character is whisked off to a werewolf pack. There should’ve been a better telling of the backstory before Rose was introduced to her werewolf dad and her fated mate. I still enjoyed the overall storyline though. I love that Rose is a smart, strong, and independent female lead in the STEM field. Her courage and confidence can show women that you can, and should, be yourself, with or without a man.
I was lucky enough to be chosen as an ARC reader for this book.
The story caught my attention very quickly, and I finished it in just two days. It’s highly entertaining, written in a way that not only draws you in but also paints vivid pictures in your mind.
If you love stories about werewolves, an innocent female lead, and a dominant male character who struggles to see what’s obvious to everyone else — filled with misunderstandings, insecurity, stubbornness, and plenty of challenges that make their love far from easy — then this is the book for you.
I’m really looking forward to reading more from this author.
Ruby K. does it again. This captivating romantasy had you from the start. His Fated Luna took you on a journey with Aiden, the Alpha of Bloodfire Phoenix Pack, and his fated Luna Rose. Alpha Aiden did not want a fated mate, having a girlfriend he made promises to make his Luna. This story shows the twists and turns of fate and how you might need what you didn’t originally want.
I was slightly concerned for this story as I get triggered by cheating and OWD at times. I was excited that this tale was written tastefully. The characters personal struggles between their mind and heart kept you guessing and intrigued. I highly recommend His Fated Luna and I can’t wait to reread it soon.
ARC review :) I’m a sucker for a good werewolf romance and this one hit the mark! After an attempt on her life little Rose is hidden from her pack until her 18th birthday when her dad and her reluctant alpha mate come to bring her home. Even though it is on the longer side it kept me interested the whole time and I read it pretty quickly. I love when I got to like 70% and it felt like things were kinda wrapping up but BAM twist and it was so good!! This is the first book in a series and the set up for the next one is sooo interesting! I’m excited to see how that’ll play out.
Rose and Aiden are fated mates. She was moved elsewhere for her safety but when she reappears, he has a love interest and not to thrilled to be mated to her.
This was a very long book. There was a lot going on and the miscommunication between the lead couple lasted awhile. However they are a likable couple, Rose from the start and Aiden later on.
The author does extensive world building for her werewolves. It will pull you in.
I received this complimentary ARC and this is my honest review.
Rose completely stole my heart. Her growth from shy and unsure to confident Luna was beautiful to watch. And Aiden,.... the brooding Alpha who had me blushing every few pages.
Their chemistry is electric — full of tension, emotion, and just the right amount of slow burn.
Add in family secrets, pack politics, a hint of magic, and a twist with a mysterious artifact, and I was hooked. It’s sexy without being over-the-top and heartfelt without being cheesy.
Loved every page and can’t wait for the next book..!
Rose & Aiden are a great introduction to this series. They may have the miscommunication to a T but the way the story unfolds is great. Their connection is undeniable even though they try to fight it due to their own fears or sense of obligations. Rubys werewolves stories aren’t like most which was an added bonus not as predictable! The plot was good, the longing was on point. The twists towards the end will leave you reeling!! I can’t wait for the next
