About this listen

They say I killed them. They say I’m sick. They’re wrong. Nothing is as it seems.

Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Cyrus Irvine takes his job and his life very seriously. He is well-respected in his field and has worked hard to get where he is.

But he’s lonely.

When called in to evaluate a murder suspect, the last person he expects to find is the man he slept with a few months ago. The man who ghosted him and wounded his fragile heart.

Ethically, he should turn around and walk away, but he doesn’t. For as much as Cyrus understands the human brain, he can’t understand the pull he feels toward the patient.

One session with River Jenkins and Cyrus is sure of three things: River and everything about his preliminary diagnosis is a lie, his feelings toward River haven’t gone away, and despite his professional code, he isn’t going anywhere.

Someone needs to get to the bottom of this.

Cyrus’ world is turned upside down as he and River team up to find the truth.

During their quest for answers, Cyrus discovers the hardest part of his decision isn’t the risk to his career, but the risk to his heart.

Not What It Seems is a 115k MM romantic suspense with doctor/patient, forced proximity, and age gap themes.

Simply incredible

Story: A very good mystery that pulls the reader in from the get go. I wasn't very sold on the romance part for most of the book, as the circumstances put the MCs in too much of a power struggle for me, but overall the book is a really good read and well worth the time. I always admire the attention to details and factual side of Nicky James stories, and this one is no different.
Narration: Very good performance.

Intriguing to say the least

Oh wow, what an intense and well thought story. I loved both characters who both had deep founded scars and issues and although they are very different, they are good for each. Having never had anyone stand up for them, it takes a while for them to trust again but they share such an incredible connection. The story have so many twists and turns and it had me completely hooked. Great narration too.

Intense story

They say you don't forget your first, and let me tell you I was blown away by my first audiobook. Nicky James' story and Nick J. Russo's narration, what a great combination!

This story sucked me in right from the beginning. Dr. Cyrus Irvine is a well-respected psychiatrist who follows ethics and every moral code there is. In his personal life however, he is lonely, insecure and mentally bruised. River Jenkins is cocky, witty and a typical ‘bad boy’ with a hard loveless childhood. They shouldn’t work, but they so did. The change in their relationship happens gradual and natural, all the while trying to solve the murder mystery.
Something was happening all the time. New leads and clues were discovered throughout the book, all leading to an unexpected reveal.

This is a compelling murder mystery with real characters, romance and a hard-earned HEA. Highly recommended!

Well, I can say that I didn't see that coming in so many points in the story ....
The first chapter got me all hot under the collar with a certain description of River's next hook up, then in the next chapter suddenly I was in a mental institute, talk about whiplash....
Cyrus is a great character, under his professional persona lies a scared and lonely man who's confidence has been forcible taken from him. I really enjoyed his battle with head over heart and other bits, over analysing every feeling over and over. He believes that his patient is innocent, and is desperate to bring him justice.
River, oh you poor gorgeous, selfish man you, what a mess you've created, why doesn't anyone believe him ? Cause you don't make sense that's why....

The narrator really amped up the suspense for me, the more dangerous the situation got the more excited Nick's voice became, by the end I really didn't want to stop listening. I really wanted answers to so many questions, but how? What for ?

This murder mystery is certainly one ride you should experience....

I certainly didn't see that coming !!
