Leather & Lark: The Ruinous Love Trilogy

I loved this book. I love BW sense of humour. I love the characters—I relate in many ways to Lark (not in the multiple deleter skills). I will read the third book in this trilogy as soon as it comes out. Whatever she writes I’ll buy because her storytelling and writing is excellent

Boken kom i mycket bra skick, inte läst än.

A thrilling love story with a great sense of humor. Just as good as the first book. Also, be sure to check out the playlist the author included for each chapter – it’s worth a listen.

Als je revenge boeken wilt gaan lezen met smut, romance, banter, heel veel humor, wat trigger warnings die juist een uitnodiging zijn om verder te lezen en waarbij de bad guy uiteindelijk krijgen wat ze verdienen met heerlijk personages dan is dit zeker een boek dat je moet gaan lezen.

Arrived in good condition Will update when I read it

So Butcher & Blackbird should be read before Leather & Lark. Lachlan Kane is ready to retire from contract killing, to having a quiet life in his leather shop. But when his boss sends him on a job meeting a woman who is a walking catastrophe - Lachlan's grumpy attitude gets the best of him. And screwing up that job means his boss will never get his claws out of him. Not until Lark Montague offers him a deal. Lark is sunshine and glitter, but she has dark secrets hiding beneath her bright exterior. So when her loved ones are threatened - she makes a hard decision. They may not be able to stand one another, but they are getting married in hopes to help them both. They must both navigate the dark world where they are bound together, it becomes impossible to distinguish their fake marriage for a real one. But negotiating their newfound marriage isn't the only challenge they have to face, when danger comes knocking. So, I loved Butcher & Blackbird, and couldn't wait to get a hold of Leather and Lark. I needed this book - thanks to that little teasing chapter in B&B. Plus, I love grumpy/sunshine & marriage of convenience so I was dying to see how this played out. Dark romances are my jam, & I loved how B&B was a dark rom-com. And while this also falls under the dark rom-com category... I wouldn't really call it dark. It was a bit slower paced, and had a lot of fluff to it, with just little crumbs of things making me want to read more. There wasn't as much danger and suspense as I would have hoped given the circumstances, and when we got it, it felt a bit rushed. And some of the relationship felt less "show" and more "tell". (Not all, there was some parts that SHOWED it too, but there were some parts where we were TOLD what happened with the characters). It did have great banter, great side characters, & some steamy scenes within. It was overall a good read. I loved the characters and their relationship. I loved the slow burn and tension. And overall enjoyed the story. & I'm excited for the next book in the series! 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
