Helpful Score: 1
Good plots separately, but tying the two together was a weak point.

I read Anne Stuart's Catspaw & Catspaw II several years ago. I stumbled across this novella called "Night" which finishes up the series.
Night: Nearing the age of thirty, Michael Blackheart is contemplating retirement from his life as a thief. But when he discovers that the Southworth Auction House will be showing a priceless collection of art, he is very interested. On top of that, the private firm working to protect the art is owned by Michael's father, a man he has never met. This is Michael's chance to make a last big score and show up his father.
This 90-page story has a lot going on. Michael is in the middle of the heist when he meets Isabel Linden who happens to be working for Mr. Helm, the owner of the art. A short thirteen hours later, they are in love and planning a wedding. Talk about a whirlwind romance! Patrick Blackheart and his wife Ferris are back for this story. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

two stories in one book - really put together good
Night--Anne Stuart--this section of the book was not really interesting...characters were not strong and plot was wishy washy...did not care for this author's writing style...Day--only went on to finish the book because I like Gayle Wilson...she picked up the storyline...deepened the plot and added life to the story itself...the ending was not as I expected it to be...another great write from Wilson...
"Two men--different as night & day...Neither man has a clue to the horrifying work of hate and terror they are about to encounter, but these are the kind of heros who will do what it talkes to get the job done...or die trying." --Clip from teh back cover
