Killing Me Softly

To Love a Psycho, Book 3: A Dark MM Forbidden Student/Professor Psychological Thriller

De: C. F. White

Narrado por: Piers Ryman

Some lessons in love leave scars.

Their love was forged in shadows—but now the darkness wants to tear them apart.

Aaron Jones never expected to find love—not real love, not the kind that wasn’t twisted by his family’s monstrous legacy. But with Dr Kenneth Lyons, his sharp-minded, rule-breaking professor, he’s found something close to hope. Their relationship is a fragile, forbidden thing, hidden behind locked doors and stolen touches, but it’s his. And maybe—just maybe—it’s real. If only Kenny would say the words first, then Aaron could finally believe in them.

Kenny has spent his life keeping control, maintaining the careful balance between his dark fascinations and the polished mask he wears for the world. But his secret relationship with Aaron is a dangerous line to cross, balancing him on the edge of ruin. Their passion has already blurred the edges of his morality, shattering every ethical rule he swore to uphold. And yet, nothing—no consequence, no fear—is more terrifying than losing him.

But someone wants to tear them apart.

A new predator is lurking in the shadows. One who knows the darkest corners of Aaron’s past, the secrets he keeps even from Kenny. And this killer isn’t just hunting victims; they’re playing a game. A game where Aaron is the prize, and Kenny is the target.

As the bodies pile up, mirroring the horrors of Aaron’s childhood, the past claws its way into the present. Every clue drags them deeper into the nightmare, forcing them to question how far they’re willing to go to survive—and to stay together. Because in the end, love might not be enough to save them.

But obsession? That just might be.

Killing Me Softly is the breathtaking conclusion to the To Love a Psycho trilogy. A story of love defying the rules, of madness and desire, of a bond that might just be as dangerous as the darkness closing in.

Fantastic series!

I love this entire series, and Piers Ryman's narration just takes it to the next level. Emotional and intense with plenty of twists and turns, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Aaron and Kenny finally get their long-awaited HEA!
Note: This is the third in a series, which should be read in order.

Whew! What a ride!

I’m not sure how, but I skipped the second book? I gathered enough about what happened from this one, and what a wild ride. Suspenseful, intense, and exciting!

What an ending!

Wow! What an ending to Aaron and Kenny’s story! Loved the suspense and intrigue. I love watching the devotion and dynamic change between these two. Enjoyed the whole series. Great on audio!

Great Listen, Loved the Ending

I loved Kenny and Aaron in the first book and they are even more magnetic together in this story. I was scared at times and still it was keeping me on the edge of my seat, unable to put down before I find out what happens next. I liked the mystery and their relationship development and how the story ended was my favorite part. Narrator did a great job, he made this story even more interesting, giving perfect voices to all the characters.

I Enjoyed It

I was completely hooked to this story. Aaron and Kenny are magnetic. It may have been at the beginning, but one of my favorite scenes was the dancing one- first with Aaron captivating Kenny (and everyone else), and then shifting into the ballroom scene. I loved that transition- I thought it was beautiful and multifaceted. And of course the bedroom scene afterwards was hot.

The story was suspenseful and had danger and kept me at the edge of my seat (and gave me some anxiety). I think this one is my favorite in the series. Piers Ryman did another great job bringing these two to life.
