Romancing the Monsters Podcast

The last Jedi, the legendary Luke Skywalker, has been found and he’s not at all what Rey expected. He's a recluse, haunted by the failures of his past and determined not to reconnect with the force. Rey, desperate for answers and fearing her new abilities, is forced to seek answers from the most unlikely person in the whole galaxy; her nemesis Kylo Ren. The two of them realize that something is connecting them; a powerful force willing them to talk to each other. And soon, they're confronted with the truth that maybe they aren’t as different from each other as they originally thought. Our ever-loving Reylo hearts finally get to talk about the movie that birthed many, many reylos circa 2017 and we also reminisce on just how horny The Last Jedi actually is…Rian Johnson, you knew EXACTLY what you were doing.

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.
