Killing Me Softly (To Love a Psycho Book 3) : A Dark MM Forbidden Student/Professor Psychological Thriller Kindle Edition

by C F White (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 55 ratings
Their love was forged in shadows. Now the darkness wants to tear them apart.

Aaron Jones was never meant to fall in love. Especially not with Dr Kenneth Lyons. Not only is he his professor, but also the criminal psychologist who helped profile his parents. But Kenny sees through his defences, kisses past the pain, and touches him like he’s precious. Their affair is illicit, addictive, and laced with secrets, and Aaron can’t stay away. Even when he knows it could ruin them both.

Kenny built his life on discipline and distance, maintaining the careful balance between his dark fascinations and the polished mask he wears for the world. But Aaron shatters all of it. He’s beautiful, reckless, and far too dangerous to want. Kenny’s already too far gone, having crossed every line. And now he’ll burn the world to keep 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 bodies drop and the past claws its way back, Aaron and Kenny are dragged into a deadly spiral of obsession, guilt, and need. Because loving each other was never the plan.

But now it’s the only thing keeping them alive.

And some lessons in love leave scars.

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.

    Engrossing, many twists and turns, some dark and difficult moments. More than a page turner. I threatened to do an all nighter two nights in a row but didn’t. But I couldn’t put the book out of my mind when I went to bed. Several sections where the author explains what’s happening in psychological terms which I had to reread but eventually grasped. The relationship between Kenny snd Aaron is intense from start to finish. Kenny provides a sanctuary and security blanket for Aaron which be badly needs and will probably never outgrow his need for. Due to his troubled past and a past it seems he was lucky to survive with any degree of sanity.And Kenny is more than willing to provide that for a lifetime. It’s essential to read Book one and two before reading this book three, to understand much of what’s happening. More please, Mr. White.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kenny and Aaron Book 3
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2025
    'Killing Me Softly' is the third and final book in the ‘To Love a Psycho’ series. It stars Kenneth ‘Kenny’ Lyons, a famous criminal psychologist and professor, and Aaron Jones, college student and son of two serial killers. This is told in third person from Kenny and Aaron’s povs.

    I thought the first book was intense! I don’t think I can really describe what happens in this book because that would blunt the emotional impact. I can give a summary/warning of what to expect, however.

    The book starts from Child A’s pov. If you’ve read Book Two, then you know that person is Aaron’s sister. And I can tell you she is a total psycho. You know she’s going to go after Aaron, and the first chapter increases the tension for the rest of the book because you know she’s lurking in the background waiting to strike, but you don’t know how, or when. Not only that, there’s someone else who appears to be a psycho, and both are after Aaron and Kenny to either inflict as much pain on them, or to kill them. Innocent people are killed, especially one who I felt particularly bad for. The climax was brutal. To say this book was stressful is a huge understatement.

    Emotionally, Kenny is waiting for Aaron to say he loves Kenny, first, although I don’t know why. It’s like that will somehow heal Aaron if he does. Kenny literally pours his heart out to Aaron at one point, and it was shattering. The one thing I didn’t understand was why Kenny kept thinking Aaron would stop loving him and leave. He must think he’s unworthy or something but I don’t remember reading if it was explained in the book. They get their HEA, but I was not expecting how they lived it. I can’t imagine them living that way forever, especially Aaron, he does like city excitement, dancing at clubs. So not sure how that would work out. I’m glad Jack, Jack’s hubby, Kenny, and Aaron grew closer.

    This is supposed to be the last book in this series except for short stories, but I really hope it isn’t. I would love to see Aaron and Kenny team up like Holmes and Watson. Aaron is exceedingly smart and Kenny, in a way, was training him as his protégé. Aaron did pick up knowledge from Kenny. I really hope the author decides to write more about these two. I think this book series would be terrific as a TV show. The books could be cut up into two or three segments which would lead to decent length episodes.

    'Killing Me Softly' was a terrific read. It was suspenseful with intense emotions and great characters. I recommend this series to everyone. I give this book, a solid 5 Stars.

    Thank you for the book, here is my honest opinion:
    4.5⭐️This was been such a fun ride with Aaron and Kenny, each book getting better and better. The author really dis an excellent job building the tension and putting enough distraction into the plot to really keep me guessing how this could possibly turn out okay for Kenny and Aaron. Kenny and Aaron’s relationship is crazy complicated to say the least. They are in the middle of the a wild, crazy, and brutal family drama- set in place long ago by Aaron’s mother, Roisin. I both hated and loved this character, Roisin is truly evil but so fascinating and compelling to read. It’s kind of a miracle that these two do manage to make it to their HEA.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A third fantastic book in this series
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2025
    I received an advance copy and this is my honest review.
    5*
    Three fantastic books now on my favorites list. I highly recommend this series for anyone that likes smart, psychological crime fiction + some dark, forbidden MM romance. Really satisfying plots and just the right balance between all the conflicting elements to keep you riveted. They’re great fun and worthy of three seasons of television, as Aaron likes to joke.

    Be ready for the prologue to chill your flesh and then chapter one to be ridiculously hot. 😂 Aaron and Kenny have this consuming, desperate need for each other that’s never quenched. They’re feral and obsessed, but also full of awe and tenderness. These scenes are intense, emotional, vulnerable, and amazing. Alongside that, Aaron spends quite a bit of time comforting Kenny in this book, and it’s so gratifying to see the roles reversed. They begin to form a real partnership. Even knowing it’s coming, the ILU scene still surprised me. It’s unorthodox and without pretense. Aaron and Kenny are scared and brave and so real in that moment.

    Shoutouts to Jack and Mel for bringing the drama, but also for having Aaron and Kenny’s backs. I’m really glad they get to play bigger roles this time. One of my favorite scenes is Mel piecing together some clues during class and reacting… aggressively. I was laughing, yelling, and gasping while reading that scene. With Jack, I love that he and Aaron get to really understand each other. They fight like cats and dogs normally, so to see respect and trust growing between them is gratifying. Plus, Jack is feisty and funny, so he’s a different kind of foil to Aaron’s bratty demands.

    Around 60%, I had what I thought was a revelation about the killer. I’d already been thinking the killer was hiding in plain sight. My first theory up to that point had holes, but the second theory made so much sense that I went back through the text, highlighting evidence. I still think it’s a fun, creepy idea, but it’s not where the book goes. Instead, things go sideways at light speed and we get to shout at the characters as things become incredibly dire. But rest assured, the save at the climax is unexpected and amazing. Nicely done. 👏

    The book has a bunch of small endings where various plot threads are tied off as the MCs find closure. I like meaningful resolution, especially in crime fiction. Readers need time to absorb and process, just like the characters. I didn’t anticipate the twisty moment in the epilogue, but in hindsight, I should have. That aside, seeing Aaron and Kenny living a simple, joyful life together makes everything in the series worth it.

    My heart is full with these two. ❤️‍🔥🥹

    OMG what a fabulous conclusion to this series. I binged this book in one hit as it was so good. I really enjoyed how the characters developed over the three books and it was fantastic to see Aaron and Kenny work through their chaos to find a way forward together.
    This is such a different book to a lot of the other MM romances out there and I am there for it as a lot of the time it is samey samey - this is definitely not and I loved the twists and how the author kept you guessing.
    Loved it, and I really hope there is another Aaron and Kenny book in the future as there is a whole world they could explore together as a MM crime fighting duo. Loved it.
