From Booklist
Who is Sam Morgan? Wealthy investor with entree into upper-crust society? Environmental activist who uses robbery to bring down major polluters? Or is he bad-boy werewolf Johnny Marshall, long believed dead? When he infiltrates a party at the Woodlock mansion to plan a caper to take what is most dear to the man who is decimating a Washington forest, he isn't expecting to meet a woman who will awaken his werewolf craving for a partner for life. Later, when his robbery goes wrong, he discovers that Woodlock's adult children, Olivia and Colin, and Colin's lover, Brice, had actually been setting him up because they needed a thief to redeem for them something that was stolen, the loss of which imperils the Woodlock family. Once again, York delivers an exciting and suspenseful romance with paranormal themes that she gets just right. This is a howling good read that connects beautifully with the earlier tales of Sam's brothers, Killing Moon (2003) and Witching Moon (2003). Diana Tixier Herald

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable werewolf romance , December 10, 2004

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In Baltimore werewolf Johnny Marshall drinks in a seedy bar when he gets into a brawl with bikers. He wakes up in the hospital with only pain reminding him he still lives. However, he overhears several bikers discuss framing him for killing one of them though he is innocent. Instead of waiting around he flees westward changing his name to Sam Morgan and vowing to do good deeds.

Sam becomes an eco-thief causing problems for environmental abusers. His current target is lumber baron Wilson Woodlock who is devastating Washington State. At a party Wilson hosts that Sam crashes, he meets his target's daughter Olivia who somehow can sense his presence even when he uses his werewolf powers to hide. When Sam goes to commit an act against Wilson, Olivia and her brother Colin catch him. They hire him to find a stolen artifact that if not returned to their family means death for the Wilsons. As Sam begins his assignment, he knows Olivia is his soulmate, but to persuade her of that will prove difficult once he reveals his true roots.

This is an enjoyable werewolf romance starring two likable protagonists though Johnny's conversion from bad dude to heroic eco-avenger seems too quick and easy. Still the story line is loaded with action, suspense and an especially enjoyable romance as Sam has to find a way to convince Olivia they belong together after he reveals his animal nature. Sub-genre readers will appreciate this fine paranormal tale and hope for a sequel starring an interesting secondary protagonist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic suspense at its best, January 14, 2005

By	Boadicea - See all my reviews

The fourth book in York's werewolf series, Crimson Moon not only lives up to the first three books but surpasses them. The reader is treated to a well-balanced blend of romance, suspense, and the paranormal--and York makes it look easy. A terrific read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crimson Moon is a great read, January 22, 2005

By	Susan Haire - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Crimson Moon focuses on the 'black sheep' of the Marshall family, a 'reformed' troublemaker who now supports environmental reform with his talents as a master thief. If you love bad boys and werewolves, the hero in this book is to die for. A great read, suspenseful and exciting. I stayed up until after midnight to finish it.
