Each book in this series shows us a beautiful character development and both Quaid and Aslan have sneaked their way under my skin when I wasn't paying attention.

This series, my friends, is a must read if you enjoy mm romance combined with a thrilling mystery. And seeing as I love her new Valor&Doyle series, I feel extra thrilled about that. And for this once, can I gush again over how much I love Nicky James's writing?! I feel so privileged to be part of her ARC team and to have the possibility to read her upcoming releases before most readers do. I couldn’t put it down before I knew how the case was solved and that Aslan and Quaid were good. But what a ride!! We finally get some answers here, but this book is intense, both the romance and the mystery. I love the intimate moments between Aslan and Quaid, and the desperation when Aslan was not okay. I love the way he performs the tension within Quaid while working on this case, the nerves. Russo is the perfect narrator for the Valor&Doyle books, the way he uses different voices for each character, and Quaid and Aslan in particular. Although each book has a self-contained mystery with no cliffhangers, the romance is over-arching and progressive throughout the series. It is a same-couple series that should be read in order. *Unstable Connections is the third book in the Valor and Doyle Mystery Series. Maybe once everything is solved, Aslan and Quaid will have time to work on their rocky relationship and find stable ground once again.
