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!!

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!

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.

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.

A shockingly suspenseful case for Quaid and Aslan

Every chapter of Quaid and Aslan's story has been captivating, but this book hit me particularly hard. It started with the devastating news that Quaid's MPU case had turned into a HU investigation, and as the confusing web of fact and fiction grew denser and denser, I became even more invested in finding the perp. I cannot say enough good things about the way Nicky James writes suspense, and her ability to lay the groundwork and carefully weave bits of truth amidst all the deception is unparalleled. I became fully engaged in the clue-hunting missions, witness interviews, and theory-building, and before I knew it I felt like I was one of the detectives on the case. Saphira's death was especially tricky because all her teenage friends seemed determined to point fingers and lie about what happened the night she disappeared, but slowly and patiently, Quid, Torin, and Aslan pieced together a motive and timeline. I felt like I was going to fall out of my chair I was so on-edge about who the perp's identity would be, and though I had my suspicions, I was still utterly shocked when the truth came out. I'm still internally screaming because I can't believe Nicky James is going to make us wait for the next book to find out what happens next for Aslan and Quaid, and let me tell you I did NOT see this ending coming and I am high-key worried for my favorite detective couple. Quaid and Aslan had such sweet, romantic moments in this book, from their first official declarations of love to steamy love-making and even making some big decisions about the future of their relationship, and now I'm reeling and so unsure about how they'll be impacted by the outcome of Saphira's case. It's safe to say that I'll be devouring the next book and the one after that until this series comes to an end, because I've never been more excited about the twists and turns of a suspense-driven detective series!

**I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

A superbly plotted murder/mystery romance

Every time I think that Nicky James can’t improve on the last book in this series, I’m proved wrong. Each case the boys are called upon to solve is more complex and demanding than the last. All the while they’re dealing with the intense pressures of their jobs their delicious romance is developing and maturing as they find more and more ways to support each other.

We know from the start that Aslan Doyle is going to suffer a traumatic incident and the anticipation of waiting for it to happen only adds to the overall suspense and tense atmosphere of the story. We are sent in many different directions with so many plausible suspects that my mind was reeling.

Quaid is on a bit of a downer since the mystery surrounding the disappearance of his sister has been solved. He’s spent his entire adult life trying to solve her case and now that’s he’s brought a measure of peace to his Dad and himself he’s left kind of empty and wondering if his time in Missing Persons has run its course and maybe a change of departments might be the answer.

The disappearance, and subsequent murder of a teenage girl whose case he‘s been working on doesn’t help his mood. He’s always been his own worse critic; second guessing his actions even whilst throwing himself into anything and everything he does 100% both emotionally and professionally.

A hopeless romantic, Quaid is also dreadfully insecure after a toxic relationship left him unsure of who he can trust. His ongoing relationship with Aslan is progressing beautifully but ‘the words’ haven’t been spoken and such is his insecurity that he actually needs to hear them. His tender heart needs them. I can honestly say that I melted when Aslan finally steps up to the mark. Heck… I needed to hear them!

Nicky James is building a superb cast of secondary characters and I’m loving them almost as much as I love Valor and Doyle. Torin is the perfect working partner for Doyle… oh my but I loved the swear box. What can I say? This author is just fabulous. I love everything she writes and this series is beyond words. The banter, the romantic moments, the drama, the mystery… all superb. Off the scale.

Nick Russo is the voice of Valor and Doyle, he’s just perfect and I can’t praise him highly enough. Such a brilliant team… James/Russo/Valor/Doyle. Utter perfection.
