Leather & Lark

De: Brynne Weaver

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Eric Nolan

“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 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

Another banger, quite literally

Raw, hilarious, and romantic in a love conquers all way. So good! I'm recommending this trilogy to all of my "friends." 😂

Dark, Dirty, and Addictive

This book was gritty, dirty, and a little jaw-dropping at times—in the best way possible. It pulled me in right from the start with its raw intensity and kept me hooked through every twist. The characters are dark and complex, and the chemistry is downright explosive. It’s definitely not a light read, but that’s what makes it so addictive.

I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to continue the series. If you’re looking for something bold, unfiltered, and full of edge, Leather & Lark will not disappoint.

Top Tier

The story was fabulous, but the audio was absolutely the best I’ve heard yet! They captured the essence of the “moments” incredibly! The whole point of indulging in books, in whichever format, is to feel as if you’re living the story. That’s a harder task when it comes to audio, I believe, to feel totally disconnected from reality and transported into the characters; but these narrators accomplished it flawlessly.

Way better than the first one.

Yall the tension between these two is delicious! The story itself was mediocre same with the first but the duet between the voice actors was great just like butcher and blackbird. And let me just say thank Christ Jesus I was at home for that bonus chapter cuz my poker face was broken immediately! so good!

Delusionaly Sexy!

That’s all I can say about it this book. It’s delusional and, oh my, sexy!
