Leather & Lark: The Ruinous Love Trilogy (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, 2)
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"I don't just want to hear her laugh, I need to earn it. Every time I gain a little ground, I want more. I want to break out of the shade and back into her light. Without even realizing it, I've become addicted to it. To her." From the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird comes the second book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy--a hate-to-love dark romantic comedy packed with danger, chaos, and heat. Contract killer Lachlan Kane wants a quiet life working in his leather studio and forgetting all about his traumatic past. But when he botches a job for his boss's biggest client, Lachlan knows he'll never claw his way out of the underworld. At least, not until songbird Lark Montague offers him a deal: use his skills to hunt down a killer and she'll find a way to secure his freedom. The catch? He has to marry her first. And they can't stand each other. Indie singer-songwriter Lark is the sunshine and glitter that burns through every cloud and clings to every crevice that Lachlan Kane tries to hide inside. The surly older brother of her best friend's soulmate, Lachlan thinks she's just a privileged princess, but Lark has plenty of secrets hiding in the shadows of her bright light. With her formidable family in a tailspin and her best friend's happiness on the line, she's willing to make a vow to the man she's determined to hate, no matter how tempting the broody assassin might be. As Lachlan and Lark navigate the dark world that binds them together, it becomes impossible to discern their fake marriage from a real one. But it's not just familiar dangers that haunt them. There's another phantom lurking on their doorstep. And this one has come for blood. Tropes:
Hate-to-love
Marriage of convenience
Grumpy / sunshine
He falls first
Groveling, but make it psycho
Touch her/him and die

Brynne really doesn’t hold back in this absolutely spectacular sequel. Keeping the magical, morbid charm of B&B but adding new layers to the ride. I am so excited for S&S to be released!!
Book two did not disappoint! I still love how there is a list of fairly comical trigger warnings at the front and the playlist guide is such a cool addition. These books just seem so unique to me - it isn’t just the concept but its also things like these that make me love the overall book so much more. Lark made me laugh a lot in this book and I felt her pain and wanted better for her. I didn’t see her being a “multiple deleter” in book one but getting her dark side in her story made me love her even more. And then there’s Lachlan.... HOLY HELL! I thought I loved Rowan but Lachlan blows him out of the water for me! I am obsessed with everything about him. He is strong and sexy and seeing him fall fall for Lark made my heart melt. The phantom part gives a good twist to the plot and had me wondering the entire time. I cannot wait for the third book but I also don’t want it to end! As long as you are comfortable with the triggers, you need to pick this trilogy up because I guarantee you’ll love them.
