It’s finally time for Lothaire, the Enemy of Old, to shine. In this week’s episode of Romancing the Monsters we uncover the mysteries of Lothaire and discover the woman who will bring him to his knees. Ellie and Lothaire are fighting each other as well as an evil goddess' possession as they form unbreakable bonds, though Lothaire still believes his mate isn't Ellie and a lot of pain ensues. Buckle up, folks, we're about to unpack Lothaire's brand of crazy!

Also discussed: Why it's never a good idea to take in someone else's vendetta as your own, the meaning and importance of happiness and the disconnect of immortals to such things, why integrity and inner strength matter, and how past traumas can shape and alter your perception of the world in great depth.

Trigger warning: mentions of kidnapping, possession, rape, dubious consent, blood play, virginity, decapitation, emotional manipulation, amputation, self mutalition, prison, murder, death and torture.

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.
