FAQs

Need a professional enabler?

Why a romance-only bookstore?

Because romance is the best-selling fiction genre in the country and it deserves a home that celebrates it — not a single dusty shelf at the back of a general store. We built the shop we always wanted to walk into.

Can you explain your spice levels?

Every book is labeled on a 1–5 flame scale, from sweet closed-door "cinnamon sugar" reads to explicit 18+ titles. It lets you shop confidently for yourself or as a gift — no accidental surprises.

Why do you card for 18+ books?

Our most explicit titles are shelved separately and sold to adults only. Carding keeps the store comfortable and respectful for every reader who walks in, at any spice preference.

If I request a book, how long does it take to come in?

If you choose to be invoiced and have it ordered today, it usually arrives within about a week. If you'd rather wait for our next regular book order, it can take a little longer — and we'll text you the moment it lands.
