About this listen

The ring has been bought, and all Aslan has to do is create the perfect setup for a proposal. No problem. Nothing to it. Quaid deserves the best, and he plans to deliver.

After choreographing a romantic evening to officially pop the question, Aslan is ready.

But things don’t go as planned, and the evening is ruined. Quaid’s insecurities rear their ugly head, making him suspicious. He knows Aslan is hiding something, but pessimism insists it isn’t a good thing.

When Aslan gets called out of town to hunt down a long-acting serial killer, there is no time to soothe his over-anxious boyfriend’s worries or make a new attempt to propose.

Torn between a complicated case and figuring out the perfect way to ask Quaid to marry him, Aslan is left scrambling. Every idea falls flat. Every scrambling attempt fails. The more pressure he puts on himself, the more unsuccessful his efforts, and Quaid’s fears grow.

Aslan needs to solve this serial killer case and get home to straighten the mess he’s made.

Disrupted Engagement is the sixth 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 cliffhangers, the romance is overarching.

Disrupted Engagement is book 6 in the Valor and Doyle Mysteries series and needs to be read in order. Trust me, you don't want to miss a minute of this fantastic series.

I felt sorry for Aslan and Quaid here, Aslan couldn't catch a break with his attempts to propose to Quaid, and he was so neurotic about it all, that he triggered Quaid into thinking that there was something wrong in their relationship. As if! These two couldn't be more perfect for each other and each new installment is a joy seeing how much they've grown individually and as a couple.

The case was very interesting and while I was right for once regarding the bad guy, I loved seeing how it all played out. I also loved that Quaid joined Aslan and Torin in their investigation, and that he roped Ruiz in to help them, it was so much fun seeing work together.

Nick J. Russo's narration was amazing as always, he's just perfect to bring Aslan and Quaid to life and injects so much emotion in his voice.

Overall, another fantastic addition to this series. I couldn't put it down once I started listening and I'm already looking forward to book 7. Highly recommendable!

Amazing!

This author has really outdone herself with this book. You really need to read the previous books in the series but with every book I feel the author can’t top it and then the next comes out and this really tops all the previous.
Aslan has brought the ring and finding the perfect time and place to propose to Quaid doesn’t seem to be working. All it is doing is bring Quaid’s insecurities beating at the door. After a number of hilarious situations Aslan finds himself assigned a case out of town so the proposal has to wait.
This just ignites Quaid’s imagination more and as different people surrounding Quaid seem to know what is going on with Aslan and yet Quaid is only imagining the very worse. Things get funnier yet.
While all this is going on so it the mystery about a long time serial killer. Nothing seems apparent with the killer’s actions and so Aslan finds himself needing to be home while not able to do so until the case is solved.
As the separation between Quaid and Aslan continues Quaid is given a lot of advice. Finally taking some, he decides to get involved with Aslan’s case.
These two guys are so different and there is so many entertaining parts to this story that I don’t feel qualified enough to explain all the reasons it is a great series without going on and on. I read a lot and as Quaid describes how to care for the cat or how he and Aslan both point out the difference in dietary choices, I was unable to quit laughing or put the book down. My only problem is this time the book ends in a cliffhanger so I’m more than a little anxious to get the next instalment. Nick’s voice has become these characters for me. He brings so much humanity to them. The emotion, the frustrations, the happy times only Nick can capture so well for these two.

So far above five star

I can listening Aslan and Quaid all day if I can, Nick J Russo is the perfect narrator for this book and the whole serie!!! This audio was excellent! Aslan finding the perfect way to propose was just driving him crazy and making poor Quaid insecure because Aslan was acting strange. My heart broke for Quaid and his inability to see how Aslan was crazy in love with him and everything was alright! The case Aslan and Torin were working was a good mystery! This was another great story and soooooo excited about the next book! Can’t wait for listen Nick and that event we are waiting for!!! Happy dance!

Can’t get enough!!

I love this series so much, the cases that they work on are interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I love Quaid and Aslan and how their relationship grows closer each book. The supporting case of Torin and Ruiz are great. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book when it comes out.

Fantastic
