Leather & Lark, the story of 'hitman' aka serial killer for hire. When he was called to help 'clean' the murder scene that Lark Montague did. He got upset in regard to that. As he was close enough to convince his youngest brother to move back to Boston, after a nasty break up he had. As this was on a Halloween party, Lachlan Kane can be a very deranged killer, but even worse when it has to do with the people he loves dearly. That night he was called in by his boss to clean that murder scene he was upset not at Lark but because he left his brother all alone in a miserable state of mind at a party close to convince him to move back. He let his nasty emotions out on 'Blunder Barbie' aka Lark Montague.
Now this is where it starts getting good in my point of view. Years later at Sloane's (Larks best friend) and her husband Rowans new restaurant opening called Butcher & Blackbird. Lark and Lachlan get to mean one another for the very first time few years after that one chaotic Halloween they both had. They just do not know who one another is, and that they already had met one another in different circumstances. As the first time they met, she called him 'Budget Batman' and he called her 'Blunder Barbie'. Of course, as it was a Halloween night the very first time they met and such. Lark had walked out to the balcony of Rowans apartment when she thought no one was watching her to get a breath of fresh air. Lachlan followed suite right behind her. They both started somewhat getting to know each other, and of course it led up to both kissing one other and such. She found out in that tine who he was, as he had let out his 'Christ Jesus' in a manic raspy voice he had used the first time around.
After the whole finding out who one another was she stated that she "hated him" because he had put her in his car's trunk the very first time. She had escaped and part it was the reason his boss Leander lost the contract he had with Larks stepdad. Now Larks auntie Ether convinces her to marry Lachlan not just to save his life and her gaining the contract back with Lachlan's boss but to also save his brothers Rowan and Fionn's life as well as much as Sloanes' life as well. The whole I 'dislike' and 'hate' towards one another and all earns them to get to know one another at a deeper level. As well as him finding out that Lark is a 'people deleter' as she likes to call it. No one knows what she does or who she truly is beneath the rainbows and sunshine, glitter and gold stars full of energy and all. But when she confides what she does to Lachlan she feels much better, as she knows in some way that he won't judge her or tell anyone what she truly is or what she does underneath it all. The more they get to know one another the more they start falling for one another and think if there may be something more than just an 'arranged' married between the two. Lachlan is in some way the first to start falling in love for her. Yes, there is something between them yet none of them want to say a single thing to one another, because for one they do not know how to say it or how to start with that conversation. As they both are in some way full of pride with a soft side. I will say this though somewhere on chapter 17 Lark gives Lachlan some not all but some details on what happened at Ashburn school and why both Sloane and Lark dropped out and finished and graduated homeschooled. As well as the why she dislikes small spaces. in regard to her Claustrophobia.
Long story short though I recommend the book. If you like dark humor, spiciness, romance. I highly recommend this book. I just feel it could be a bit more attention grabby, and more descriptive in some ways. I just feel like it was not grabbing my attention as much as Butcher & Blackbird did. It did not give me much to imagine any of the scenes or picture much of it at all. Yes, I loved the book and the love/hate from the characters. I just feel it was not much to go on for, as much as I wanted to. But we'll see with the next and last book in the series Scythe & Sparrow.
