About this listen

“I don’t just want to hear her laugh, I need to earn it. Every time I gain a little ground, I want more. I want to break out of the shade and back into her light. Without even realizing it, I’ve become addicted to it. To her.”

From the author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird comes the second book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy—a hate-to-love dark romantic comedy packed with danger, chaos, and heat.

Contract killer Lachlan Kane wants a quiet life working in his leather studio and forgetting all about his traumatic past. But when he botches a job for his boss’s biggest client, Lachlan knows he’ll never claw his way out of the underworld. At least, not until songbird Lark Montague offers him a deal: use his skills to hunt down a killer and she’ll find a way to secure his freedom. The catch? He has to marry her first.

And they can’t stand each other.

Indie singer-songwriter Lark is the sunshine and glitter that burns through every cloud and clings to every crevice that Lachlan Kane tries to hide inside. The surly older brother of her best friend’s soulmate, Lachlan thinks she’s just a privileged princess, but Lark has plenty of secrets hiding in the shadows of her bright light. With her formidable family in a tailspin and her best friend’s happiness on the line, she’s willing to make a vow to the man she’s determined to hate, no matter how tempting the broody assassin might be.

As Lachlan and Lark navigate the dark world that binds them together, it becomes impossible to discern their fake marriage from a real one. But it’s not just familiar dangers that haunt them.

There’s another phantom lurking on their doorstep.

And this one has come for blood.

Tropes:
Hate-to-love
Marriage of convenience
Grumpy / sunshine
He falls first
Groveling, but make it psycho
Touch her/him and die

The laughing and other sounds were unbearable

The story itself along with the writing was great! But the fake laughing and other sounds added by the narrators took away from the story. It made it very distracting as well. It was incredibly cringey and not needed. Maybe the book could be redone without the fake and painful laughing. 0/10 for performance if I could

Holds up to the first book!

The story was a great! The male voice was the best part about this book! My only irk was the female voices laugh. It just sounded too forced and maniacal.

I wanted to love it 😭

I really wanted to love this as much as the first book in this series, but I kind of struggled to get through it. I just didn’t care as much about these characters, and the narration wasn’t my favourite. The laughing and singing bits were a hard listen 😬

HOT AS FUCK

I loved butcher and blackbird, but this one was out of this world. I loved the chemistry between Lark and Lachlan was fantastic. The last epilogue by Lark was unexpected, but so hot. Can't wait for the rest of the series

Best Audio I’ve listened to

I can’t recommend this book enough. It had me all over the place emotionally. I cried, I laughed, I cringed. I could not love these characters any more. And the spice 🥵 Brynne came to play with this!
