Scythe & Sparrow: The Ruinous Love Trilogy
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy—a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy packed with murder, mayhem, and spice.
God, I want to kiss her. I want to feel the heat of her lips against mine. Would she want that? Would she melt against me if she did? Or would the tension I feel between us snap and release something feral inside her? Inside me?
Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.
But then the real circus finds him.
Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with a broken leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.
The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.
. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts will catch up.
Tropes: Friends with benefits / Small town romance / Fish out of water/ Forced proximity / Hurt/care / Touch her and die

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Format: Audiobook
I enjoyed this final book in the series! Addictive banter between the two main characters but definitely preferred the first two books more. Love her use of previously introduced characters to portray a realistic world where they all exist and live their separate lives that intertwine here and there.
Author's choice to have this story alongside bits of the previous ones was interesting and enjoyable.
What stood out to me the most is that the MFC wasn't a "bada**" who could take on a man double her size with no issues. This made her more relatable and unique as opposed to always having an out the gate strong and fierce MFC.
Definitely will include the physical series in my personal library one day 🥰.

I love you. I’m not letting you go. I never will.
This had some good bits. Some funny bits. And a lot of messy bits. Also, I don’t know what was up with the e-book version, but there was some weird formatting going on that really broke any sort of flow that the story was trying to make.
B&B started off the trilogy so strongly, but both sequels just don’t live up to it for me, unfortunately.
