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.

This book has some poor reviews in online chats, with people saying they can't get through the first few chapters. This was not an issue for me and I was more than happy to keep reading.

This book is crime with a side of romance instead of being a steamy romance novel which suited me fine. The crime story is well plotted and you'll need to pay attention to keep with with it.

I'd rate the bedroom scenes an R18+ as opposed to X.

My audible recommendations....

Love MM romance + sexy detectives 👉 check out "Hazard and Sommerset" series by Gregory Ashe, "Nothing Special" series by A.E. Via, "Zero Hour" series by Aimee Nicole Walker, "Valor & Doyle mysteries" by Nicky James and my all time favourite is "Bitter Legacy" by Dal McLean plus sequels which is one of the best whodunnits I've read.
