Every kiss is a sin.
“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.
REVIEW:
Oh my! C F White delivered another gripping and completely engrossing sequel to Aaron and Kenny’s story and somehow it managed the impossible task of beating the expectations I had after reading the first one. While the same approach to giving an intricate fast paced plot, deep dive into the motivations and compulsions of the protagonists and the villain (and even some of our favourite side characters) compel you to keep reading, this one sees a lot more push and pull, delicious resistance and nuances of the forbidden relationship between Kenny and Aaron. There is also a vulnerability and softness and we see them breaking their own boundaries, not being entirely perfect , hiding even from themselves as they navigate the developing relationship. This one is also far spicier than the first which is befitting of the dynamic they are both driven towards.
On the one hand things precariously balanced are starting to unravel and on the other hand the net is getting tighter – there is feeling of being on edge and a subtle discomfort which feels like you’re just missing something while looking out of the corner of your eye. The suspense and mystery is stupendous as there is a killer on the loose. It’s a brilliant reading experience. Highly recommend checking out this series if you like edge of your seat tension in your thrillers and a hint of an obsessive romance in your pairings.
