hellokaley 's review for:

Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver
2.25
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: N/A
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This one just didn’t hit the mark for me. Unlike Butcher and Blackbird, I found Leather and Lark to be quite boring. The plot was confusing (and boring). I really didn’t care about the majority of the characters. Lachlan and Lark were just fine- but the majority of the secondary characters were completely forgettable (maybe except for Ethel).

Also unlike its predecessor, it really was not as sexy or dark and most of the romantic chemistry doesn’t actually pickup until two thirds of the way through. 

And although I really enjoyed B&B’s audiobook performance, this just wasn’t the same. I’m sure many think Lachlan’s accent and pet names are sexy, but they were laughable to me. Lark’s singing gave me secondhand embarrassment and I cringed everytime someone laughed throughout the audiobook. 

‘Twas a letdown for me!
