About this listen

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.

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!

great story, great characters and well paced. My one and only slight dislike is the fact the narrator doesn't use any different tone or accent for both MC yet does so for other characters especially Female characters and at times (quite often) I didn't know who was speaking Quaid or Aslan and got myself a bit confused on occasion but that definitely didn't stop me from continuing with the box set. Just for future would be better if there was a slight change in vocals for main characters.

well written and great pace

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.

Brilliant standalone investigation story and continuation of the series. Well read and paced. Manageable level of suspense and angst for someone with anxiety! Story is detailed and satisfying with protagonists HFN and a cliffhanger signalling the next case’s direction. Well with listening and can’t wait for the next book.
