Killing Me Softly

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

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.

Wonderful finish!

I loved how well I was pulled off my axis and my breathing was altered at times especially to feel the love as it all came together at the end. From the start Kenney had me questioning his motives only for it to turn around in the end and him being a good guy. I always felt protective of Aaron from the very start so I was glad when Kenney helped him finally get his freedom. I am also very happy that they both figured out that they work best together and are now together hopefully forever. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves to hear a great story about the obstacles some have to overcome and being able to feel the strength of their outcome. It’s a great read/listen especially if you’re into all sorts of psychological challenges and the ability to deal with them.
