One of my favorite of the Moon series. I have read others say this book was underdeveloped, but I disagree.
Yes, the main characters, Johnny Marshall (one of my favorite of the Marshall men), and Olivia Woodlock, fall in love quickly. Has no one had love at very first sight in their books? Doesn't intense situations seem to make emotion heightened? What can be more sensitive than the theft of an artifact that can heal a family - or break it apart?
And the villian... this is a truly twisted villian, with just enough realism to make you wonder if someone like this is subsequent door to you.
I enjoyed this book and I think most others will, too.

I really don't have much to say about CRIMSON MOON by Rebecca York. It's the fourth in a series of suspenseful werewolf romances that she's written, and it's all right. It's not great, it's not lousy - it's somewhere in between. The hero, Sam, is a werewolf who also happens to be a cat burglar. He's hired by the heroine, Olivia, an heiress whose family is suffering from a mysterious malady that only has one cure, which was stolen by the novel's villain. Sam's job is to get the cure back. The relationship between Sam and Olivia starts off with immediate lust, and I can't help but feel it remains lust-driven throughout. The family secret is interesting, but not enough is explained or revealed about it to satisfy the reader's curiosity. And the bad guy is something of a stock bad guy, with no real personality other than he is obsessive and grossly manipulative.
I don't want to spoil the end of the book (spoiler warning), but I am kind of tired of how this series went from the werewolf being the only supernatural element (and the romance being between a werewolf and a regular woman who must learn to deal with it) to a series about people with different supernatural abilities. The werewolf aspect is no longer special now, and the heroine ends up accepting his powers quickly because she has her own secret powers. That really bores me. I want some human conflict in the story not related to the bad guy. In this book, the drama revolves mostly around external reasons (bad guy[s]) versus internal reasons (the lovers' fears and feelings, especially about him being a werewolf), and that gets old quick. Give me some characters I can relate to! Thanks!
P.S. The series starts with KILLING MOON (Ross), EDGE OF THE MOON (Jack), WITCHING MOON (Adam), and CRAVINGS with short story "Burning Moon" (Grant).

Didn't care for it. The author went off in different directions and brought up not logical developments. Could have lived without reading it.

This story is not nearly as good as Beyond Control, York's latest. I really had to work hard to finish Crimons Moon. The werewolf and his "mate" just didn't have any chemistry. The plot was convoluted and there were too many convenient coincidences to make it suspenseful. The bad guy, Ethridge, was crazy and twisted - I would have liked to see his character developed a little more.
Sorry to say, but this one is going to the used book store. If you want to give it a try, buy it used.

CRIMSON MOON is about a werewolf who finally meets his match...wait, I mean his 'mate' in a woman with some supernatural abilities of her own. He's a criminal, but a good one--Werewolf Robin Hood, if you will. And her father is a target because of her father's indifference to the harmful effects of his business policies on the evironment (wholly unbelivable). He wants to make her father pay; he also wants his daughter for a wife. HE is Johnny Marshall also known as Sam Morgan. SHE is Olivia Woodlock.
Together with this story is a subplot regarding a crazy business competitor of Olivia's father. Apparently, this very disturbed villain has hatched a scheme to replace Olivia with another woman-whom he has kidnapped, molested and surgically altered against her will (to look like Olivia, of course). Olivia spurned him, and he wants her all the more.
The story is thin and undeveloped, as are: the romance, the lead characters, the villain. The villain and environmental protection burglar/hero business are the weakest part of CRIMSON MOON. Olivia loses her heart to Sam inside of 30 pages: "...she couldn't shake the disturbing feeling that he had taken some part of her with him [I think she means her heart]...," though she had met him only moments before and talked with him for a few minutes, showing him some of her father's art collection. Okaaaaay.... CRIMSON MOON is convoluted and suffers from a lack of depth of intellect or emotion. If you are into excessive, inessential sex scenes then this flat, tall tale of a story from Rebecca York also known as Ruth Glick will be just the thing.
And if I haven't been clear enough, I have another way of putting it: I started reading this book two months ago and only got about halfway through. Last night I tried again (I like to finish books I've paid for...if I can), but I only made it about 10 pages further. And that took a colossal effort!
