UK Romance Bookshop Directory

There is nothing I love more than all the romance-dedicated bookshops that are popping up all across the UK. There was a time where kissing books were hush-hush, but not anymore.


Trying to find such stores, on the other hand, sometimes still feels like looking for a needle in the haystack. So I thought I would put a list together. Enjoy!


I will keep on updating this list, so do let me know if I missed anyone.
