Book Overview

A stunning hardcover collector's edition of Leather & Lark, the second book in Brynne Weaver's #1 New York Times bestselling Ruinous Love Trilogy, featuring a new deluxe package with foil stamping, sprayed metallic edges, illustrated endpapers, a letter from the author, and more

Contract killer Lachlan Kane just wants a quieter life, to work in his leather studio and forget about the traumatic past that's forged him into a deadly weapon. But he needs to repay an endless debt, at least until the day his boss offers him a deal: marry Lark Montague, the daughter of his most valued business partner. The only problem?

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 tries to hide inside. A rich family, a privileged life, a dearth of responsibilities--Lark has had an easy life. At least, that's how it seems. But Lark is on the verge of losing her security. And now it's time to prove she can get control of her haphazard future. What better way than to marry a man who's the exact opposite of her usual type?

As Lachlan and Lark navigate the intrigue and secrets of the hidden world that binds them together, it becomes harder to discern a 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.

Customer Reviews

As Good as the First - Maybe Better

Lark and Lachlan are my favorite in the trilogy. Lark's story (after we ALREADY loved her in Butcher & Blackbird) is phenomenal. The banter between them is stellar. The arc of their love story is astounding. And hot... Must read.

The best in the Ruinous Love Trilogy

Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver is the second one in the Ruinous Love Trilogy. In my opinion this is one of the best sequels in a trilogy I have read in a while. There are humorous parts. There are parts where it made my stomach turn. One thing I loved about it was how it tied into the first one with two of the characters In the first one being seen for a couple chapters in this one. A perfect ending for Butcher and Black Bird story to end. Now to my thoughts on Leather and Lark story. I love that in the beginning that Leather and Lark didn’t like each other, but over time, they start to warm up to each other. I also thought it was interesting how both of them are being hunted by a killer. One of the things I think Leather and Lark did better then Butcher and Blackbird did was to tone down a lot of spicy scenes in the first.

I love this series, great books.

I disliked how the author used certain words when characters were intimate but still great series. Loved I got to find out more about Lark & Lachlan
