Summary
Emery Hazard is ready for Valentine’s Day. He’s made reservations months in advance, he’s ordered flowers, and he’s got a boyfriend he wants to treat right — even if John-Henry Somerset occasionally lets the dishes sit in the sink a little too long. They even have an extra reason to celebrate this year: Somers has received a special commendation for his police work.
Everything begins to go wrong, though, when Hazard’s ex-boyfriend shows up on their doorstep. Billy claims he just needs help getting away from an abusive partner, but Somers believes Billy has other motives, including designs on Hazard.
When men who have been hired to track Billy show up in Wahredua, Hazard agrees to help his ex elude them. But as Hazard prepares to sneak Billy out of town, a woman is murdered behind the local gay bar, and Somers’s investigation leads him towards Hazard’s ex.
As Hazard and Somers find themselves working together to find the killer, they both must confront a hard truth: Everything comes at a cost — career success, healthy relationships, and even justice. The only question is if they’re willing to pay the price.

Enough to make you flinch
After the happy ending of the previous book, a reader might hope the relationship between Hazard and Somers has reached a sunny spot, a place where their love ripens without constraint. Instead, you spend parts of this book with your finger poised over the fast forward button, despite being mesmerised by Gregory Ashe's visceral writing. He does relationships so well, good, bad, and ugly. And of course, it's all around Valentine's Day.
The case is satisfyingly complex with numerous plausible suspects. Ashe lays his various trails with skill. For me though, it's always going to be the central pair who draw me back, invite relistenings, and leave me to ponder.
Tristan James does his usual excellent job, juggling a number of recurring and new characters.

ready to fight for hazard🤣
emery's ex is horrible. John-Henry is romantic af. emery is perfect. I found this one to be more about relationship drama than mystery. and there was even a visit from the borealis boys. absolutely loved it all.

Brilliant
I love the characters. I love the story. I love the author. I adore the narrator. This series is by far the best on the market. I can't wait to listen to the next installment.

I wish I could give this audible book 6 stars
Coda: Well, I have now had the opportunity to listen to audible book as an advanced listener and I have to give this 6 stars.
I had already read the e-book and you can see my 5 star review below which still holds.
However, the audible book adds another dynamic. Tristan James and and Gregory Ashe are a dream team with James able to capture capture every emotion that Ashe writes perfectly; so that over the course of the book he heightens the joy, shame, humour, disgust, trust, fear and surprise that arise from this book. Hopefully not too long to wait for his interpretation of Wayward.
Ebook review
Gosh this was a hard read!. Not because it was poorly written but that with Hazard and Somerset, Gregory Ashe put us through the ringer as they continue to negotiate their relationship and learn more about one another. Yes, love is hard work. The Valentine's dinner scene being a case in point, both beautiful and excruciating.
Along with this we have Hazard's two exes caught up in the central criminal case. If you like to have characters to boo at, these two fit the bill for self-centred stupidity. However, it was good to see the guy from Borealis Investigations.
Am I up for the next book? Sure thing! Also, I do hope the audible book is out soon.
