Ep.28—The Viscount Who Loved Me: Two Idiots, One Overweight Corgi and an Inappropriate Bee

Dear reader, what is sure to be the most scandalous event of the season has occurred! This author delights in announcing that Lord Anthony Bridgerton seems to have found his match in Miss Kate Sheffield, a headstrong, self proclaimed spinster who vowed never to be wooed by a Rake. The Ton will certainly be spoiled for entertainment this season as the two use their wiles to engage in the ultimate battle of will! After all, all is fair in love and war... This week we discuss the repercussions of losing a parent at a young age and how that might warp someone’s perception of their own future. We also explore traumas, phobias, repressed memories, and the looming presence of death. Trigger warning: mentions of death, loss of parent, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, childhood trauma, self-sabotage, allergies of insect bites, and phobia of rainstorms Book of the week: The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn Media mentioned: Bridgerton, created by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix, 2020-present Books mentioned: It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas Find us: E-mail—romancingthemonsterspodcast@gmail.com Twitter—@theRTMpod Instagram—@romancingthemonsterspodcast TikTok—@Romancingthemonsterspod Find M: Instagram & Twitter—@foesandlovers Find S: Instagram & Twitter—@butthisbook Find Seff: Instagram & Twitter—@prosewithwoes 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.
