I loved continuing this dark, sexy world with the Kane family. Leather & Lark is a fun, hilarious, very dark, and very spicy read. It blended ‘enemies to lovers’ AND ‘love at first sight’ tropes (along with other fun tropes) and they all managed to work so well together that I was totally here for it. I loved how flawed and interesting the characters were. Lark and Lachlan both have dark histories, both are killers, and their chemistry was fire. And just like the first book I absolutely loved the humour in this one. I laughed out loud through the whole read. Batman vs Blunder Barbie had me in stitches, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at even the more graphic icky scenes.

I also loved that this book had a different flavour than the first one. (Yeah, yeah, like ice cream vs pizza. If you know, you know.) I would say that the plot wasn’t quite as engaging as the first one for me, but IMO the first book was so out there, that it’s a hard one to top. The villain chapters also really lost me along the way. But that’s okay, because all that spice made it oh so nice.

I love audiobooks and this series is a total must as audiobooks. Duet narrations are my most favourite thing ever, and Eric Nolan and Samantha Brentmoor are fantastic together. The emotions, the growls, and the surprising and amazing singing! Good lawd these are some talented narrators, and I was so ecstatic that they narrated Scythe & Sparrow as well. 

Also extra love for that spicy epilogue. Yowza 😏
