    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

  • Up next on our Hathaways journey: Poppy and Harry's story! Did Harry really compromise Poppy so she would be forced to marry him instead of the man she loves? *Gasps* Yes, yes he did. What does he do when she finds out about his devious scheme? He claims he doesn't regret it and that he doesn’t need her love or forgiveness… just her body. Or does he? Oh boy, strap in folks, we're about to tackle the Ruthledge mogul in all his infamous glory…

    Trigger warning: controlling behavior, jealousy, estranged relationships, weapon creation, forced relationship, negligence from a parent, death of a parent, substance abuse.

    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.

Yup, it's time for Kev's book which means prepare yourselves for some capital "A" angst and a tortured soul that could rival Heathcliff himself.

  • We’re finally headed to Ramsay House! Join us as we kick start our Hathaways readalong with Cam and Amelia’s story. This crazy, rambunctious family is in desperate need of money, help and a firm hand to guide them through their new life in the Ton. When Amelia meets Cam Rohan, sparks start flying and they indulge in a forbidden kiss that neither can forget. But, Amelia is used to her independence as head of the family – as much as she craves the idea of letting go and exploring whatever is blooming between her and the handsome Romani, she’s struggling with the guilt of doing something for herself for once. Thankfully, Cam Rohan isn’t scared of a challenge and once he's decided to set his sails on a future with Amelia, he won’t be deterred so easily.

    Also, some beloved characters from the Wallflowers also make appearances, so let’s see what they’re up to!

    Trigger warning: Mention of suicide attempt, dead lover, death of parents, illness, substance abuse (opium, alcohol).
