Inevitable Disclosure

Valor and Doyle, Book 4

By: Nicky James

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Quaid is adrift in MPU. With his partner on extended leave, he’s alone and unsure if he wants to continue working on missing persons cases now that his sister’s case is closed. When the missing teen he’s been seeking for a week turns up dead, it’s the icing on the cake.

Maybe it’s time to explore a different career path.

Aslan and his partner, Torin, take over Quaid’s case, but Quaid can’t help but get involved. He wants justice for the girl. Justice for her grieving family.

Is homicide the career change he’s been looking for?

The trio makes a solid team, and their banter takes the edge off a serious case. Working alongside Aslan again is fantastic. They have found a balance that works, but for as comfortable as they have become as a couple, for as inevitable as their future together seems, something’s missing.

Aslan is ready to take the next step in their relationship, but Quaid needs certain feelings to be disclosed first.

Do actions speak louder than words? Or is there magic in saying I love you?

Inevitable Disclosure is the fourth 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 cliff-hangers, the romance is overarching and progressive throughout the series.

So good!

I listened to this audiobook because it wasn't narrated by ai or "virtual voice." I only listen to books that are narrated by humans.

This book was an emotional roller-coaster. This is the first book in the Valor and Doyle series that I was able to predict whodunit, but I still never got bored. I love Quaid and Aslan. Their banter with Torin and Ruiz is hilarious!
This author is really good at writing humor, and yet it doesn't take away from the intensity of the story.
I loved the narrator for the audiobook too. I followed along reading and listening. Nick J Russo is such a good narrator. He's so good at making you feel all the emotions. Plus, his voice is sexy. 😂

Great series

This is a great series. Always on the edge of my seat. The writing is so good and the plots are fresh and interesting.

Great story

great read nicky James at her very best great narration by Nick it is always a pleasure yo listen to

Inevitable Disclosure

This series is getting better and better. The story line has supporting characters which are growing and evolving along with the two main characters. Nicky James has given a good foundation and has allowed us to see the flaws and struggles of these people. I am pulling for them and can’t wait to see what happens next. Nick Russo does a great job of bringing the book to life. Hope he continues with this series.
Thank you to Nicky and to Nick

Tough listen but so good

Wow well this one had a much darker storyline than the others - and honestly felt a bit more like a Nicky James book with heavy psychological tolls and investigation.

Love this Series, Love this Story

How can a fourth book in the series about the same couple be so good. I loved following Aslan and Quaid, their relationship development and sweet moments and at the same time I was captivated by the unfolding mystery. Narrator did a great gob telling this story, his voice and talent made this a perfect listening experience.

Keeps getting better!

I am enjoying this series more and more with each book. This one was a total gut punch. Very emotional. I knew who the killer was from the moment we met that person. But the author did a great job with all the red herrings and coming up with other viable candidates.

Russo’s performance is the best in this one thus far. The MCs voices are better differentiated making the listening much easier. I split between reading and listening and the transition was the smoothest in this book.

perfection, per ushe

i don’t mean to keep sounding repetitive but that nicky james x NJR combination is just SO powerful. this was prob my favorite of the series so far - so sweet and gentle while still keeping me up trying to figure out WHO TF DID IT. i can’t get enough of these damn books.

Wow. Just wow.

I seized this book practically the day it came out and listened almost non-stop. As with all the books in this series, it blew me away.

I’m a huge fan of Aslan and Quaid as a couple. They’ve come through all kinds of adversity and are still hanging in there. Quaid still won’t leave clothes at Aslan’s place and Aslan hasn’t been able to say those three little words since he uttered them to Quaid while drugged. What’s Quaid supposed to think? They’re practically living together but haven’t said those three LITTLE words. So is Aslan really committed? And if Quaid can’t let go of his past with Jack and all the damage that caused, is he even fit to be in a relationship with a guy who used to be quite the playboy?

This book jumps pretty quickly into the mystery. Quaid has a missing teenager who turns up dead. Homicide is Aslan’s department, but with Quaid’s partner Eden off work because of her daughter, Quaid’s adrift. So their bosses agree to let Quaid help out on the murder case.

OMG, high school. I so do not miss those days. And this group of the dead girl’s friends reminded me why I felt that way. And James’s description of a high school gymnasium was so vivid that I could’ve been back at my old high school. Powerful and got the point across – that’s a very angsty time in the lives of teenagers.

Now, I did consider and dismiss the ultimate killer. So I was sort of proud of myself? But well done, didn’t see all the twists and turns along the way.

Anyway, there’s a prologue then a jump back in time and I’d forgotten the prologue until the appropriate time.

This is just a great book and I can recommend it. Best enjoyed if you’ve been following the series, but it has a full arc of a mystery contained within.

Loving Nick J. Russo’s narration – he adds that extra spark to the books. There’s one more book and I’m hoping Aslan and Quaid will take the ultimate step. We’ll have to see…

Another Fantastic Story to the Series

This series has quickly moved to the top of my favorite list. I have been absolutely loving Aslan and Quaid and Nick J Russo has just been fantastic bringing them and their cases to life. Nick truly makes you feel as if you’re part of the story, and really interjects that drama occurring within their cases! As I said, I have been absolutely loving this series and was so eager to see what was next for our favorite Detectives Aslan and Quaid. We once again are treated to another case with twists and turns with some gasps along the way. A missing girl who turns up murdered gets Quaid and Aslan working together again, along with Aslan’s partner Torin. Now that Torin has warmed up to Quaid, their banter was great fun as they dove into their latest case. I also love that Ruiz and Quaid have developed a level of… friendship, dare we say? While the case will keep you on your toes, I absolutely loved the way that Quaid and Aslan’s relationship continues to evolve and develop. I’m rooting so hard for these crazy kids to get in the same page together at the same time! Their chemistry and connection continues to develop and give you all the swoony feels. This latest case isn’t one to be missed!
