The second entry into this suspense filled series, Aaron and Kenny are still trying to navigate their forbidden relationship. As another serial killer comes to light, Aaron and Kenny hold on tightly, willing to risk everything to be together.
From the blurb:
"Giving into temptation might not just ruin Kenny... It could kill him."
Aaron has spent his life running from intimacy, but when his professor, Dr Kenneth Lyons, broke through his defences last year, only to push him away, the sting of rejection left an indelible mark. He’s determined to win him back and prove their connection is more than just forbidden heat. But when danger lurks in every touch, and even a single kiss becomes deadly, Aaron might not survive long enough to prove he’s worth the risk.
Kenny knows he shouldn’t want his student. Resisting Aaron has already cost him pieces of himself he can’t recover. Torn between his career and the man who’s stolen his heart, Kenny struggles to keep his distance. But when Aaron becomes the target of a ruthless killer, the fragile lines Kenny drew between them blur. And he’s forced to face the truth. Protecting Aaron could destroy his future… or shatter his soul.
As a series of brutal murders pulls them deeper into a web of danger, Aaron and Kenny are forced to confront the darkest shadows of Aaron’s past and the devastating legacy binding them together.
With their forbidden bond igniting into an all-consuming blaze, they must decide: in a world where trust is a death sentence and love could cost them everything, how far are they willing to go to save each other?
Kiss Me Honey Honey is the gripping second installment in the To Love a Psycho trilogy where passion and peril collide.
SNik's review:
Second in series (To Love a Psycho), must be read in order. Professor/student. Forbidden relationship. Age gap. Slow burn. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. Mild cliffhanger as the series continues.
Months have passed since a serial killer was caught in Ryston, too close for comfort for Aaron, and as the summer winds down he maintains a situationship with fellow student Taylor but Professor Kenny Lyons is all he still thinks about. The new term is starting and Kenny is still trying to keep Aaron at arms length, but it is becoming more and more impossible when he is asked to consult on another possible serial killer in the area.
Beyond the building relationship between Aaron and Kenny which is still filled with lust, obsession, and a dark passionate connection they share, this series is really circling around the Howell’s and how their crimes and secrets have affected those around them, and not just their son Aaron. Honest communication is still a struggle between Aaron and Kenny, but both men have realized their deep commitment to keep the other in their life, knowing that everything around them may burn in the process.
Piers Ryman continues the series narration and thank goodness. He has become a favorite of mine with his deep growly voice, the way he emphasizes words, and his vivid acting brings across all sorts of emotions for the characters. Lush.
Lesetiger's review:
“Kiss Me Honey Honey” picks up where the first volume, “Dream a Little Dream,” left off. I therefore recommend reading the first volume first.
The writing style was very enjoyable, and the story is once again a great read. The story is written alternately from the perspectives of Aaron and Kenny.
Several months have passed since the serial murders in Ryston when another murder occurs. This case is particularly perfidious. Jack begins to investigate and once again he involves Kenny. And it doesn't stop at one murder. There are clues to the first serial murders, but the perpetrator has been apprehended. Exciting investigations and discoveries follow.
Kenny misses Aaron very much, but he tries to maintain the professional distance between a professor and a student, even though it is difficult for him.
Aaron has developed a casual relationship with Taylor, a fellow student, even though Kenny is still on his mind. So he keeps trying to break through Kenny's walls and tear them down, making it increasingly difficult for Kenny to maintain a professional relationship.
The tension and chemistry between the two is palpable and intense as you read. And I loved how the two slowly build a relationship despite their forbidden love. Both have complex personalities, but when they come together, things can get explosive. And they really shouldn't be together, but they can't escape their attraction to each other.
I love the mix of passion and thriller that the author presents us with here. She has done an absolutely phenomenal job! The story still revolves around the Howell family, and there is a little cliffhanger at the end. I can't wait for the final volume to be released!
Piers Ryman also narrated this volume, and he did a brilliant job again with his deep, rough voice. He read in a very lively and varied way and conveyed the emotions, of which there were quite a few, superbly.
The audiobook is highly recommended!
