Ep.39—Again the Magic: Two Hot Men For the Price of One? Lisa Kleypas Understood the Assignment!

Romancing the Monsters Podcast

Somebody fetch our carriage, we are officially journeying to Hampshire and (re)entering the world of Lisa Kleypas’ Wallflowers! First stop? Again the Magic! McKenna, a former stable boy turned millionaire, is back in town to exact revenge on his estranged lover and childhood best friend, Lady Aline, whom he has not seen since the fateful night she rejected him twelve years prior. Alas, both are far from the youths they used to be, with scars deep enough that even love might not be able to heal… but they say revenge is an act of passion and this one is served tall, dark and deliciously cold. Meanwhile, Gideon Shaw, heir to a colossal American fortune, is traveling for business with McKenna bearing demons of his own. That is, until he meets the elusive Lady Olivia, whose kindness and inner-strength may be enough to make even a man like Shaw want to reinvent himself into the man she needs and deserves. Trigger warnings: mentions of societal class, miscarriage, alcoholism, death as a result of a precarious abortion, death of a loved one, burns resulting in severe scarring, emotional manipulation, patriarchy.

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.
