I was excited to get the audiobook of book 2: Leather and Lark in Brynne Weavers The Ruinous Love Trilogy. This audiobook will be published on June 4, 2024.

What to expect from this book:
* grumpy sunshine
* he falls first
* tough her or him and die
* marriage of convenience
* hate to love
* murderous crafting (GLITTER!)
* spicy scenes
* musician serial un-aliver and a leatherwork contract un-aliver

What I enjoyed about this book:
* narration was 5/5. Samantha Brentmoor and Eric Nolan were FANTASTIC! I have never heard a book by Eric Nolan and he did not disappoint!
* When Lachlan and Lark first kiss- it was both sweet and hilarious
* their nicknames for each other when they were in their hate stage- she calls him Budget Batman and he calls her Blunder Barbie
* Lachlan and Lark's banter is fabulous!

I really liked the progression of their relationship and their connection. The narrators brought to life these characters so well and I could feel the tension, the connection and the pull they had toward one another. Lachlan says "without even realizing it, I've become addicted to her."

I really enjoyed both Lachlan and Lark's characters. Lachlan was softer then I was expecting him to be and I loved that. Lark was a badass but also incredible vulnerable and working through some trauma and I liked her "glittery" personality.

Please check trigger warnings. If you enjoyed Butcher and Blackbird and the marriage of convenience troupe then I highly recommend this book and especially recommend the audiobook.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select (Zando) for an ALC of this audiobook. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.
