Summary
Life was easier when rival detectives Quaid Valor and Aslan Doyle kept to their own sides of the building. They could forget the one glorious night they’d shared and move on.
But when Aslan is called to a homicide and discovers one of the victims has a personal history with Quaid, he knows a confrontation is inevitable.
When news about the case spreads, Quaid can’t help but get involved. He wants answers; if not for himself, then for the families of the victims.
Joining Aslan and his partner, Quaid uncovers more than he bargained for—too many secrets and lies in a case that is dangerously personal.
Plus, the more time he spends with Aslan, the harder it is for Quaid to ignore his attraction to the playboy detective.
Aslan, who doesn’t believe in repeats, can’t seem to stop flirting with the grumpy MPU detective, and his rules go out the window as they’re drawn deeper into the case.
But what happens when one more night turns to two, and two turns into three?
Does Quaid want to risk his heart again?
Has Aslan developed feelings?
Can they put a stop to their fun and walk away?
Do they want to?
The Valor and Doyle mysteries are a same-couple ongoing series and should be enjoyed in order. The main mystery plot of each book will be resolved within the story, but there are elements that are overarching throughout the series.

Addictive series
I am devouring this series!
I love the ongoing developing storyline and adore Valor and Doyle.
The narration is really good and I can't wait to see how the rest of the series develops.
I'm now about to start listening to the next one.
Highly recommended.

Love this series
Second book in the series and it isn't a standalone, you need to read/listen to it in order.
Quaid and Aslan, two lovely character. Opposites attract, low on erotica but high on emotions.
The narrator just perfect, I like listening to his narrations.
Recommend it! Can't wait the next one.

The story continues
I like this one better than the first, probably because I know a lot of the characters now. It’s fun and easy as well as serious.
Nick is amazing as usual. With the accents in the last book, this time it’s the emotional parts that impress me! Making a sobbing, blubbering mess sounds believable isn’t a walk in the park!

Can’t go wrong with this one
Story: there was never a Nicky James book that I didn’t love. This one is no exception. I must say these two MCs are one of my favorite couples, warts, dents and all. And the story? Top notch!
Narration: good as always. Nick J. Russo definitely knows how it’s done.

Addicting series
I really enjoyed it. I listen to a lot of audio books but this one really made me stop and enjoy the story quite a few times. It has one of my top author’s plus the narration by Nick J. Russo is perfect. He really knew how to give added personality to the story. I feel his voice and the way he has perfected the timbre of the story made it feel like it was something playing out before me. This is the kind of audio book that causes me to want to listen more than read.
I was so anxious to get this story and it did not disappointment me. The story really starts in Temporary Partners so I feel it is a necessity to read that one first. The attraction between these two Aslan and Quaid is unbelievable. But there are a number of issues that keep both from wanting more than a hookup. Quaid is trying to get over a bad relationship. Aslan is known as the playboy and addiction issues keep him from involvement. And these guys work in different detective groups that have a real dislike for each other.
When a murder and brutal beating bring these two together that attraction is rekindled. I enjoyed reading these two dance around each other. Kept saying this was the last time. And of course, they couldn’t stay away from each other so each time was the last time.
I feel the mystery part of the story is real good. Quaid having a personal involvement in this case and Aslan being assigned to it gave them an excuse to be together.
The teasing and flirting Aslan does to Quaid gave me more than a couple laughs. The development of the relationship is what I expected from this author. It is more the focus of the story rather than the case. The actions of both of these guys entertained me as the answers were revealed concerning the mystery.
I feel this story ends on a hrn and really makes me impatient to have the next in the series.

A compelling murder mystery and blossoming romance
Nick Russo's fantastic narration brought me right back into Quaid and Aslan's orbit with another thrilling mystery to solve, this time with a much more personal connection. I loved following along on the clue-finding missions, witness testimonials and late night think sessions as Quaid, Torin, and Aslan struggled to link the pieces together and figure out what motivated this killer. I genuinely could not have guessed who the killer was until the very end, and if anything that made it more exciting for me to experience every dead end and suspect crossed off the list. Along the way, I was delighted to see Aslan and Quaid's relationship take another turn for the steamy (and oh. my. god. did the two of them get steamy). It really is a shame that the two of them were so dang stubborn, because had it been up to me they would have been dating after that first epic night together. Thankfully Aslan and Quaid did start to realize that their feelings went much deeper than a no-strings hookup, and can I just say that it was so satisfying to see their relationship soften with flirting, silly jokes, and heartfelt conversations. Don't get me wrong--Quaid could still be downright prickly at times, but it was so cute to see all the little ways Aslan made him crack a grin (and even cuter to know how proud Aslan was of making it happen). The two of them made me swoon, and had it not been for the pressing investigation I was incredibly curious about, I would have happily basked in their growing romance without a care in the world. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much romance there was in this story given how much action and suspense was packed in alongside it, but I should have known I could count on Nicky James to bring the best of both genres. That absolute bombshell of a reveal at the end has me SO desperate to see what happens next in Quaid and Aslan's lives, and I already know it's going to be a long wait to find out more about what it all means.
