12. 2 Viscount 2 Furious

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton [m44] and his wife Kate [f36] met some number of years ago when Anthony was pursuing Kate’s sister, Edwina [f32]. During the course of their courtship, Anthony, both sisters, and several of his siblings played an infamous game of Pall Mall. For reasons that are unclear but are probably related to some sort of foreplay, Anthony extends a yearly invite to the original players for a rematch. For reasons that are unclear but probably have to do with Anthony being Viscount Bridgerton and rich and powerful, they all agree. 

Featuring: 

• Alligators

• Anthony, still the boob man

• The classic Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the ‘death drive’ which Rudi consistently and incorrectly calls the ‘death imperative’

• Canadian passive-aggression

• Mallets as metaphors

• Uncomfortable class realities

• Different definitions of ‘winning’

This week, we feature a enemies-to-lovers sports romance, Goalie Interrupted by Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn - a book Kate still thinks is called Goalie Interrupted, and now she wishes for the Girl Interrupted/Hockey mash-up romance of her dreams. You can learn more about Goalie Interference and find buy links here.
