Summary

Quaid is adrift in MPU. With his partner on extended leave, he’s alone and unsure if he wants to continue working on missing persons cases now that his sister’s case is closed. When the missing teen he’s been seeking for a week turns up dead, it’s the icing on the cake.

Maybe it’s time to explore a different career path.

Aslan and his partner, Torin, take over Quaid’s case, but Quaid can’t help but get involved. He wants justice for the girl. Justice for her grieving family.

Is homicide the career change he’s been looking for?

The trio makes a solid team, and their banter takes the edge off a serious case. Working alongside Aslan again is fantastic. They have found a balance that works, but for as comfortable as they have become as a couple, for as inevitable as their future together seems, something’s missing.

Aslan is ready to take the next step in their relationship, but Quaid needs certain feelings to be disclosed first.

Do actions speak louder than words? Or is there magic in saying I love you?

Inevitable Disclosure is the fourth book in the Valor and Doyle Mystery Series. It is a same-couple series that should be listened to in order. Although each book has a self-contained mystery with no cliff-hangers, the romance is overarching and progressive throughout the series.

Well plotted

The murder mystery was well plotted, and the evolution of Valor and Doyles relationship was nicely observed. I usually guess whodunnit early in a book but this one has me gripped until the revelation. Well Done!

emotional and intense

inevitable disclosure had so much more emotion and intensity and nick j russo made me feel every one of aslan and quiad's emotions and feels I felt like I was right there with them

I cried and was more in love with aslan and quiad

I think inevitable disclosure was one of the more emotion story of aslan and quiad's story I loved it

This is amazing!!!

Inevitable Disclosure was really good!!! Valor and Doyle has become one of my favorites serie, each book is full of emotions and the mysteries on every case are complex and very captivating. I’m in awe of Nicky James writing!!! I’m totally obsessed and in love with Quiad and Aslan!! I love Nick J. Russo!!! His performance is amazing, I love listening Quiad and Aslan, he can bring this characters to life.

The romance between Aslan and Quaid is getting better, they are trying to make their relationship work, they’re are learning to navigate their relationship, Quaid's insecurities are still make an appearance but he is trusting Aslan to anchor him, Aslan is doing everything to help him to let go of those insecurities showing him that he cares and very deeply. Swoon every time Az let him know that he loves him!!! Can’t wait for more of these two!!

So amazing

Story: I am usually not a huge fan of a series following the same couple over multiple books, but Quaid and Aslan are a brilliant, and very welcome exception.
Nicky James created an emotional, riveting and genuine power couple that brings new facets of their personalities to the table with every book.
I loved this next chapter of their story and am already anxious for more!
Narration: Brilliant. I can't help but hear the characters in Nick J. Russo voice even when reading the books.

Absolutely brilliant.

I cannot begin to tell you how brilliant this book is. Nicky James has written an absolute masterpiece of a story with a gripping mystery. Combine that with a flawless performance by Nick J Russo and it kept me listening long into the night. He’s a master of his art making it so easy to distinguish between characters and maintains the tones and cadences throughout the whole performance.

Aslan, Quaid and Torin are faced with multiple suspects including teenagers - and don’t some of them have an attitude. The intriguing plot is intricately weaved and kept me guessing. I’d narrowed it down to two characters and even though I’d eventually, and very late in the piece, guessed correctly, I was still gobsmacked with the outcome even though the prologue was the perfect set up for the ending.

Amongst all the stresses of an ongoing investigation, Aslan and Quaid’s romance takes another major step forward after reassurances are made, feelings validated and an overall sense of security taking hold. Of course they still disagree on food choices, the supply closet gets another clandestine visit and there’s plenty of banter between them to lighten things up.

I love the way the relationship between these two wonderful men is developing and I’m looking forward to where the next book takes them.

High intensity

Nick J. Russo has almost convinced me to give up books and go to audios. He brings to life the characters and the strong emotions that are a part of this story. Listening made me hear stuff I seem to not remember from the book. This author is fabulous in her ability to write stories that are so varied in characters, location and lives. Each story is so original and so well told that I am able to picture it as if I were there.

This is the next story in the Valor and Doyle Mystery Series and the author just keeps heightening the intensity of the story. While each book is not supposed to be a cliffhanger…I think this comes pretty close.
I could not set this down. I ignored so much I was suppose to do because I was so involved in this story and couldn’t find a place to set it aside.
Quaid is questioning his career choices. He likes MPU but with his partner most likely not coming back anytime soon he is faced with the problem of working with someone else. He knows he has his quirks and doesn’t do change well at all. He decides to take a look at other departments to see if he might like to make the change more than just co-worker. He is also supposedly looking into a missing/runaway high school girl. Most feel she ran away so he is not concentrating on finding her like if he knew she was kidnapped. Then her body if found. This brings in Aslan and Torin. They are assigned her murder. Quaid asks to be included and they set about working as a team to find what happened to her.
At the same time the romance between Quaid and Aslan is getting more intense. They are spending their nights together and while Aslan is ready to move forward with the relationship, Quaid is being more careful. This part intensifies also as decisions are made about the path their relationship will take.
So much goes on in this story. The detectives interfacing with teenagers gets frustrating, working with co-workers changes and a number of decisions are made concerning the romance. Now the sad part. This does answer all the questions, in a surprising result, about the murder. But the relationship between co-workers and Quaid and Aslan is left open to a number of questions. This is where I wish the author wrote faster or that the whole series were released at once. The problem is I don’t want this series to ever end. The characters are so likable and entertaining. Their personalities leave open so many more stories. I hope the author keeps this series going forever.

I certainly didn't see that coming !!

Inevitable Disclosure is book 4 in the Valor and Doyle series, and Nick J Russo did an amazing job bringing it to life...

Each book in this series has seriously captivated my heart and my imagination. Those complex cases, where Nicky James loves to throw in those red herrings. Just when you think that you know who the culprit is the whole case turns on it's head. Oh boy!


As for Aslan (sigh) and Quaid ( my sweet anxious man) they are still together, trying to navigate their relationship with Quaid's neurosis. Aslan is forever trying to placate his man, who is still holding on to his past insecurities.

To move on at work or not to move on ?
To move in with Aslan or not to move in ?
Why is it so hard for him to reassure me with those 3 little words?
I know I love him, but I need to hear him tell me.
Oh Quaid, you brave, kind soul why can't you see what you have in your hands and heart and just be happy?

This case has 4 teenagers driving Aslan, Quaid and Torin crazy. They are cocky, nervous, angry, lippy and out of line throughout, I wanted to slap them myself a few times. But it takes the ingenuity of Ruiz again to dig out the secrets and misinformation that's been clouding this case
from the beginning, nothing is as it seems. I was more desperate for closure by the end than all of those detectives.

That prologue made me gasp and the last chapter had me biting my nails.
It's so very well written as per usual. I really hope there's more of these delicious detectives to come.

The narrator really brings each character's nuances to life so well, it's been a real pleasure to hear these men work, joke and try to solve this intricate case.

Just fabulous.

Yet another really good Quaid & Valor book. The story drew me in from the very start, and I loved seeing our detectives grow together more. Nick J Russo captures them both perfectly, and his narration was fabulous as always. I'm so looking forward to the next book.
