There is simply something magical about this story. Two completely wrong people meet and yet they became right ones in their own way.
I wish it was longer. I would gladly read the story when those two are playing their cat and mouse game. I would be glad to read the books Noel wrote. I guess it's safe to say I'm very fond of this short story. I would love if it was worked further on. But I know there is practically nonexistent chance for that.

Ten years ago, Noel, a cat burglar, and Robert, the FBI agent tasked with bring him in, spend one hot night together before Noel pulls a disappearing act.
Now many years out of the game and writing novels based on his adventures, Noel is surprised to find his former foe on his door step on Christmas eve.
I enjoyed the banter between the two guys and the unforeseen situations that came up along the way kept things interesting. The ending seemed a bit abrupt though; I would like to read more abo ...more

By far my favourite story in the His for the holiday anthology.
I would loved this to have been a full length novel, with the glorious build up and slow burn of a cat and mouse chase but as it was I felt I knew the characters well enough by the end to let me write my own pre-prologue story in my head. A really satisfying read for to few pages.

Not quite 5 stars because I felt that the change in the relationship was a little abrupt. It was slow burn for 5.5 chapters and then all of a sudden they are in bed together. But overall I really liked this couple. I also read Lanyon's Coda for Noel and Robert on his blog.
