About this listen

Can two rivals work together to solve a case?

When an infant is taken from his carriage in broad daylight, missing persons detective Quaid Valor must race against the clock to find the child and bring him safely home to his family. Unfortunately, Quaid’s partner isn’t available, and his team is spread thin. Begrudgingly, Quaid must accept the help from his rival, homicide detective Aslan Doyle, if he wants to get the job done.

Aslan is Quaid’s opposite in every way. He’s bold, outspoken, arrogant, and the office playboy. And much to Quaid’s chagrin, Aslan seems to have set his sights on Quaid as his next conquest.

Quaid doesn’t have time to deal with Aslan’s flirty behavior when he’s trying to solve a case and juggle his cheating ex’s incessant interruptions.

It doesn’t matter how attractive Aslan is or the undeniable chemistry they seem to have. Getting involved with Aslan would be a huge mistake.

But as tension with the case builds, Quaid keeps forgetting he’s supposed to hate this new partner. Maybe Aslan is exactly the kind of distraction he needs.

Temporarily, at least.

Right?

Temporary Partner is the first in the Valor and Doyle Mysteries.

Exceptional in both writing and narrating. The kidnapping is at the forefront of everything, keeping us on our toes. whilst Quaid and Aslan banter their way through the case, we watch the partnership change. I hope Jack is gone for good.

Somehow the story is more graphic on audio when Nick J. Russo narrates it. His narrations are followed and every time I listen to him it again proves how good his portrayals are. He is able to bring the right voice tone and mannerisms to each character. This is the first book in the series and does end in a sort of a cliffhanger. I’m not one who usually does cliffhangers but this author is on my watch list so I could not resist. I love this story. It has mystery, humor, relationship advice and is more than a little snarky. Having a baby taken from its carriage, at home, under the watchful eye of its mother, sure leads to a great mystery. There are plenty of twists and turns as the story progresses. There is also a lot about Quaid and Aslan being forced to work together. Their total opposite personalities really come out as they try to solve the mystery. Add the issue that Quaid is dealing with a cheating ex and Aslan has no problem voicing his opinions. This author is able to bring out the personalities so that they become real. Even though I don’t do cliffhangers, this author has made me a follower and anxious for the next in this series.

Mystery and fun
