This is an excellent pair of novellas from the Nadia Stafford series.

Double Play:

Life is good for Nadia Stafford, lodge owner and part time professional killer. While her lover Jack has been called away for a job, Nadia is left to take care of the lodge...until a mysterious man shows up asking for her help. Jack is in Ireland to do a favor for his old mentor; but he quickly discovers that a trap has been laid for Nadia. Since it is impossible to get in touch with her, he must pull out all stops to warn her of the problem.

This novella picks up shortly after the third book in the series. This time is it told from both Nadia (first person) and Jack's (third person) perspective in alternating chapters. I'm not a big fan of novellas, but this one kept me interested till the end. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

Perfect Victim:

Hitman Tyrone Cypher wants to hire Jack and Nadia for a job. There is a killer in Hawaii who is targeting people in the family court system. So far he has killed a caseworker, a judge, and an attorney. A new lawyer, Angela Kamata, has taken over the deceased attorney's cases. Her life is in danger and Cypher wants Jack and Nadia to protect her while they take out the killer. This kind of case is exactly the kind Nadia wants. She also jumps at the chance for an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii for her and Jack.

Another very good novella. This story has lots of twists and turns in it. I absolutely loved the last chapter. Fans of Jack and Nadia will enjoy this story. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
