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

Story
I used to have big dreams: finish college, make beautiful art, all while taking over my dad’s business. He wanted a legacy, and I wanted to give it to him. But his illness wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was his sudden need to keep me locked up in our mansion, safe and isolated. I want more from life, but could only spend my days waiting. Until one night, I came face-to-face with a street biker from a world far different from mine. What starts as him stalking me, quickly spirals into something deeper, and more deadly.

I see dead people, and not just the men I murdered. I'm in danger of being committed because I can’t tell what’s real from my hallucinations. Everyone thinks I’m crazy when the serial killer I jilted starts haunting my house. He assassinates any man who shows me interest, leaving their body parts under my pillow. During the day, his gaslighting destroys my peace of mind. But at night, he invades my nightmares and makes me crave the depravity.

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

Story
Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

Story
I used to have big dreams: finish college, make beautiful art, all while taking over my dad’s business. He wanted a legacy, and I wanted to give it to him. But his illness wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was his sudden need to keep me locked up in our mansion, safe and isolated. I want more from life, but could only spend my days waiting. Until one night, I came face-to-face with a street biker from a world far different from mine. What starts as him stalking me, quickly spirals into something deeper, and more deadly.

In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast.

I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: I’ll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You.

• Thoughts:
I have no words! Okay, first off. If you are not an audio person.. you should become one for this book! I will talk more about the narrators below..back to our review of the book. Now, I feel this was slightly different than B&B. And not in a bad way. If you are expecting the same thing. You will be disappointed. This has a different vibe and feel. I went into this book excited, and I left the book just as excited! I love that Lachlan is this grumpy gus, but man, does he have a gooey center when you are in his inner circle. Lark is this sunshine and happy go lucky person. (or is she??) Lark is a natural caregiver and wants to take care of everyone around her! I absolutely adore that about her character. She is an incredible character with a heart of gold until she isn't. (Cackling laugh here) Lachlan and her, I feel compliment one another perfectly. This is a slow burn! The Enimies to lovers in this book is strong! They get under one another's skin. There is zero trust, and it is so fun to watch. But I tell ya, once that spice hit, oh my lanta, that Spice hit.(The crawl moment..... oh my gaawwwddd)
I was captivated with their story! It's was so well done. I knew I was in for one hell of a good time when it came to the trigger warnings. (IYKYK) (manically laughing)
Narrator Thoughts:
Samantha Brentmoor, my good freaking night!! She was absolutely 100 percent incredible!!! I am already in love with her, and this year, I have learned she has one hell of a Scottish accent (not this book), but she can freaking sing! SING!!! when I heard her sing. I got goosebumps. It was amazing! She is hands down one of the top female narrators!
Eric Nolan, sir! You have in one book quickly become a favorite narrator of mine. I can listen to your Scottish broge all freaking day! You did an amazing job!!! This whole audio book was freaking amazing! This audio would make anyone an audio lover! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!!!

⭐️: 5/5 🌶️: 5/5 🤤: 5/5
(Spoiler Free)
I didn’t think the narration of butcher and blackbird could be out done, and I’ve never been so glad to be wrong, I’ve always loved Samantha Brentmoor as a narrator - she really shined with this book especially paired with Eric Nolan and that drool worthy Irish accent of his and the growls?!? THE GROWLS?! Panty melting. I thought I’ve read enough smut to be desensitized to it, but these two had me feeling flushed and needing to take a deep breath to calm myself down.
Narration aside, the story was so well written and captivated me right off the bat, and personally I liked it even more than the butcher and black bird, but I might be a little biased I’m sucker for an enemies to lovers fake marriage romance. Brynne weaver absolutely out did her self with this installment of the series, I can’t wait to see where she takes these characters in the next book <3

Entertaining and Enthralling
The narrators did a fabulous job with this story! This might be my first Eric Nolan listen, and I loved his voice! Samantha Brentmoor is always an absolute queen in everything she narrates and she did a fantastic job as Lark. I loved the overall story (love a good fake marriage/forced proximity story) and Brynne does a fabulous job of writing a ”multiple deleter” character that you empathize with and root for lol! This book certainly starts off with a *bang* and just kept going from there. I can’t wait for book 3!
