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. Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver was published on June 2024. This is the second book in The Ruinous Love Trilogy series. This book was nominated for Goodreads Readers' Favorite Romance in 2024.
I absolutely loved the first book of The Ruinous Love Trilogy series that I had to get the second book to read. I love how the author takes dark theme books and yet gives them a humor background. But let's first talk about the main characters shall we. So in this book with Lachlan who is the brother of one of the main characters in book 1. Then we have Lark who is the friend of that of the other main character in book one. Both characters you learn more about them then the occasionally passing like you did in the first book. They both have some major character development through the book. I felt like I could picture them through the book. They were well rounded in the book. The love story part of the book was not instant they are in love. No there is a lot of bitterness back and forth but they slowly give way to their feelings in the book. Which I absolutely love that it was not instant fall in love. The humor in this book is on point that really makes the dark parts more lighter. Though warning...be careful what you eat while reading this book. I really enjoyed the book, while it doesn't have a lot of smut it's well placed. This book is one of the top reads that I have read. I highly recommend checking out this book.
