About this listen

Quaid Andrew Valor and Aslan Ronan Doyle cordially invite you to be an honorary guest as they join their lives in matrimony. The ceremony is set to take place at Strongwind Castle on December 23rd. Save the date!

Time is short. Quaid has less than three months to plan the wedding of his dreams. A wedding that happens to land two days before Christmas. Don’t be fooled. It is not a Christmas wedding—at least not if Quaid has anything to say about it.

The wedding binder is fat and the list of things that need to be done is long, so when the department decides to implement a mandatory team-building Secret Santa event that will take up every one of Quaid’s available Saturdays, he is livid. There is no time for nonsense on his tight schedule.

When Aslan sees what the stress is doing to his fiancé, he calls in the cavalry to help plan the wedding. What could possibly go wrong with Ruiz and Torin on their side?

Relationships grow deeper. Friends and family come together to celebrate. And Quaid and Aslan finally tie the knot.


**Matrimonial Merriment is the seventh book in the Valor and Doyle series. Unlike the other books, this one does not contain a mystery and is wholly focused on our two favorite detectives finally getting married. It was meant as a bonus book but somehow came in at over 100k words. Oops. More of them to love.**

In this book, the detective work is put aside as Valor & Doyle plan their (not) Christmas wedding. We got to know the personal side of MCs and the side characters a little more, and I really enjoyed that. The wedding was lovely, and the MCs deserved their HEA.
This is the 1st book in the series that read & listened to on Audible & I thought the narrator did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life & giving them their own unique voice.
Sad the series has ended, though I may go back and listen to the previous books at some point as I enjoyed the audible version a lot.

Love this series.

Story: Be still my fragile heart! Even when I think I know what to expect, Nicky James always takes me by surprise.
After the thriling and suspenseful journey of previous books in the series, this one changes the tone quite bit. While I might have missed the thrill of an unraveling criminal story, it does not take away from the delicious treat we’re being served here.
With wedding preparations underway we get a new angle glance into Quaid’s and Aslan’s relationship and I don’t have the words to express how amazing it is! The depth of insight we get into their emotions and the craft with which it is all portrayed is truly uncanny!
Not only do we get to know the MCs on a whole new level, but the secondary characters get their own spotlights and are showcased in new roles, with much more emotional depth to them, making the whole story even more gripping.
While I am sad to see the series conclude, Matrimonial Merriment is a great finishing touch on what was a really fun and emotional adventure. I cackled with glee at Quaid’s Groomzilla moments, I chuckled at all the antics, I sighed and swooned, and wept in all the right places, which means the book is truly a job beautifully done.
I hope we get some glimpses into their wedded bliss in shorts or maybe a novella here and there (hint hint Nicky, in case you’re reading this!), there is a promise of a spin-off with another intriguing character, which I’m really looking forward to. And it will surely include cameos from the Quaid and Valor bunch, so even more fun!

Narration: Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, Nick J. Russo once again elevated the story to a whole new level! There's plenty of feels in this book and they all rang true and genuine in his performance.

Perfection! Absolute perfection!

I feel like I've just watched 2 of my favourite people get married and I cried tears of joy. What a beautiful and special ceremony for 2 memorable characters.
There is much humour (Aslan), even more stress (Quaid) and unexpected greatness (Torin and Costa) throughout this whole story of wedding arrangements. Nicky James did not just write any wedding special, no, she gave us so much love of friends and family and 2 people who have found their soulmates.... then Nick J Russo took this story and elevated it with his emotive voice, such a fabulous story.

I'd like to add that the cake tasting date and the meeting with old man Barnabus left me in tears of laughter, I loved it all.

Very heartfelt, so emotional!
