Lark thrives with glitters in the lifestyle of a musician and serial-deleter.
Lachlan… ah my perfect Irish broody grumpy Lachlan. Yep. Nothing more. Eric Nolan amazingly embodied this Irish grumpy ass who is as hot as smitten.
But the real queen is Ethel. End of.
Nevertheless, Lark and Lachlan’s story can fully be appreciated if you have previously read Blackbird & Butcher. The stories are intertwined.
Hilarious, heartbreaking, plots, everything in this story is perfectly balanced. Brynne is talented like that.
The duet narration is one of the best I’ve heard so far. Everything is smooth with all the emotions and tensions. And the growl… damn.

In the second book in the Ruinous Love trilogy, Lark Montague and Lachlan Kane are forced into a marriage of convenience while investigating a mysterious threat.
After absolutely *loving* BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD earlier this year, this book was one of my most anticipated releases, and I was literally waiting at the door so I could start it the second that it was delivered.
I’m not sure anything could have ever FULLY lived up to the hype in my mind, but I still really enjoyed this one! Lark and Lachlan are both fantastic, and their relationship and character arc was really lovely. I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers, so watching their banter and “hate” for one another was a ton of fun. I also loved the high stakes feel of the final few chapters, and I am SUPER excited to see where things go for Fionn and Rose in book three!
I will say that this one felt slightly less unhinged than BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD—I personally LOVED the unhingedness (not sure that’s a word) of the first, so do with that what you will.
CW: Just about any gore/violence/blood related one you can think of; mentions of sexual predators (including against children); terminal illness
