Romancing the Monsters is a podcast that looks at the monster within: the shadow keeping the characters away from true and absolute happiness. This monster can be a prejudice, fear, insecurity, trauma and so on. We believe that romance novels are as much about one's personal journey as they are about finding love.

After all, love makes us vulnerable and forces us to bare our monsters to another.

Once again, it would appear that the Ton is abuzz with the rumour of royal nuptials! Indeed, dear reader, the time has come for us to travel to the recent past and witness the makings of a love story that changed the world forever. Will you join us for part two?

Triggers: mentions of grooming, loss of identity, marriage, racism, colourism, death, porphryria, marital rape, pregnancy, child death, parental neglect, loss of a spouse, cheating, motherhood, and torture.

Show of the week: Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, directed by Tom Verica, 2023
