I connected more to these characters than B&B! I feel like there was less spice but that could be recency bias !meg_read's review

Where and HOW do I get myself a man like him???
This man said let me spoil my wife and that he literally did.
Brynne indeed cooked a delicious book 😋
Because Sloane and Rowan are my OG’s I was so happy to read about them from a different pov and see how obsessed they are with each other 😌
Lark is such a baddie, not only is she a 🥣🔪 but she’s a loyal and brave friend. I mean the fact that she is willing to defend and protect the people she loves without any hesitation is so special. My girl truly deserves the utmost respect and love.
Sloane and her’s friendship literally is AMAZING. They way that they would do anything for one another is so 🫶🏼
Excited for Rose and Fionnn’s book next!! 👏👏👏

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
