Scythe & Sparrow: The Ruinous Love Trilogy

Written by Brynne Weaver

Narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Eric Nolan

From the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy—a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy packed with murder, mayhem, and spice.

Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It's a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.

But then the real circus finds him.

Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she's not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.

The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.

. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.

Reviews for Scythe & Sparrow

[clairec.tomlin · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Their chemistry was great, smut was moderate, their character development I liked! Just a bigger fan of Rowan and Sloane still.

I listened to all of these books but none touched my heart like this one, it was funny, serious, and sad. Truly remarkable!

[roxannegallantece · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I never laughed so hard I cried and I never cried so hard my stomach ached, the raw power of the love Brynne wove between Fione and Rose was gut wrenching when the inevitable happened! I am so thankful she brought it back around and they got their HEA! Barbra has to be my all time favourite pet in a book ever!!! Can’t wait to see what Brynne Brings to the future in her writing!!

Another unhinged addition to the Ruinous Love Trilogy!

Hilarious and completely unhinged again but also so funny and filled with love. I loved the circus aspect. I always love the found family aspect. I'm glad we got to see Sloan and Lark's stories from this point of view.
