Dream a Little Dream

To Love a Psycho, Book 1: A Dark MM Forbidden Student/Professor Psychological Thriller

By: C. F. White

Narrated by: Piers Ryman

His student. His obsession. His undoing.

"Maybe there’s something in two broken souls needing the same thing, at the same time, then searching for it in the same place."

Aaron Jones has survived by hiding behind walls of control and calculated indifference. He’s had to. As the son of two infamous serial killers, people either fear him, pity him, or crave to peel him open just to see what’s underneath. The last thing he needs is anyone digging into his past. Especially not a man who makes him want to surrender every defence.

Dr Kenneth Lyons. Criminal psychologist. Brilliant. Respected. Off-limits. And the one man Aaron can’t seem to resist.

Kenny has always been drawn to the shadows of the human mind, but nothing is darker, or more tempting, than the new haunted student in his lecture hall.

Aaron is beautiful, complicated, and utterly forbidden. Every rule says he should walk away. Every glance, every brush of contact, makes that impossible. Desire twists into obsession. Boundaries shatter. Every kiss is dangerous. Every touch is a confession. And every moment brings them closer to ruin.

But when a new killer surfaces on campus, mimicking the crimes of Aaron’s parents, their intoxicating entanglement turns deadly. Someone wants to resurrect the past. Someone wants to expose the truth. And if Kenny isn’t careful, giving into Aaron could cost him everything.

Dream a Little Dream (To Love a Psycho, Book 1) launches the dark MM To Love a Psychoromantic thriller series where Aaron and Kenny’s story begins, and never truly ends. Their bond of forbidden desire and dangerous obsession threads through every murder, every secret, and every temptation. For listeners who crave their romance steeped in danger, tangled with lies, and bound by a love that should never happen… yet refuses to let go.

OMFG!

Story: I absolutely loved this new facet of CF White's writing! I have been a fan of her writing for a while and was super curious about this new type of stories. To say I was NOT disapointed is a huge understatement.
The book had me in a vice grip from page one. The tension and slow unveiling of the truth, coupled with measured doses of the tension and attraction between the MCs, sprinkled on top with so many complicated emotions, it all worked so well! It's a challenge to balance the plot, heavy emotional layers and romantic subplot, but CF White pulled it off beautifully.
This new darker side of the author is a beauty to behold and I cannot recommend the book enough.
[Warning: There is a cliffhanger, so be aware going in]
Narration: Pure brilliance. I love Piers Ryman's voice and narration style to pieces!
