Ep. 49—Dreaming of You: Hm...Are We Craving Derek Craven?

Romancing the Monsters Podcast

Derek Craven is a man of many talents. A libertine and a gambler, he built his infamous name from nothing save for his own blood, sweat and tears. When he meets author Sara Fielding, the curious yet delightfully innocent novelist who’s hell-bent on learning all she can about Craven’s gambling house, Craven starts to question his way of life. Both are thrown into a whirlwind of romance, danger, and intrigue as they navigate their budding emotions for one another. Trigger warning: mentions of gambling, prostitution, ignorance of social inequity and class, gaslighting, feelings of inferiority/superiority, cheating, substance abuse, saviour complex and death Book of the week: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas Find us: E-mail—[e-mail] 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 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.
