Jamie Ness is a frightened young man who runs away from his physically abusive father at the beginning of this novel. Chris Rose, a veterinarian, picks him up as Jamie is walking down the highway. From there, they start a relationship, first as friends/roommates/co-workers and later as lovers. There is one thing that Chris is keeping from Jamie though, something that might change their relationship forever. Chris has a secret, and just when Jamie is learning to trust again, Chris reveals the fact he's a shifter. Will Jamie be able to accept Chris' wolf and can their love survive Jamie's past?This is the first book of Diana DeRicci's I've ever read and it was utterly enjoyable. I love a secret shifter plot where one half of the romantic equation is human and the other a wolf. For readers who adore the hurt/comfort genre, Run With the Moon will be a virtual delight. Jamie is the ultimate woobie who needs tender loving care and Chris is all too willing to provide it. I say this as a great lover of the hurt/comfort theme and found this novel to hit all my buttons as the love between Jamie and Chris grew, so did my enjoyment of all the characters. I was so engrossed in reading it, I would get upset when I had to return to work after a break because I'd had to put the book away!So, if you'd like to read a very sweet, well-paced and interesting shifter romance with two characters who will steal your heart, then Run With the Moon is for you. I eagerly look forward to the next book in this series, hopefully one of Chris' (sexy) brothers will find his mate too! Recommended.Lasha's Paranormal M/M Book Reviews
