Hey HBs! It's part 1 of BY THE HORNS by Ruby Dixon! We're back in this minotaur grave robbing romance series, with a mystery to boot!

Here's the deal though: Mel was recently felled by a summer cold and the state of her voice was froggy… if we're being generous. Thankfully, Sabrina swooped in and scheduled a bunch of recordings with some bookish pals to give Mel and her ravished vocal chords a break. So, we’re still covering books in series we’ve recapped before, but the next couple of weeks will be with Sabrina and guests! Today we’ve got two friends and fellow HBs, from The Busy Romnivores podcast! TBR is on a hiatus right now, so this episode is like a mini reunion! Here are Sabrina, Kristen, and Hayley recapping BY THE HORNS by Ruby Dixon!

Also, if you want to hear about the first book in this series, listen to episodes 414 parts 1 & 2 about BULL MOON RISING, which we rereleased in January of this year (2026).

Bonus Content: Bull riding jokes, terrible investigations, the definitive definition of "Himbo," and so much more!

This Friday on PATREON, Sabrina is telling Mel about the Swanlea Sisters series by Sabrina Jeffries! That historical rabbit hole has been treating S real good.
