Lovebound Library

Loved this bookshop so much. I came all the way from New Hampshire and had to make sure I stopped here while in town. A must visit for romance lovers!

This was such an amazing experience all around! The staff were so welcoming, friendly, kind, and helpful. They helped me with so many recommendations and their selection was great. They are very queer friendly and woman owned and they created an environment that felt so safe as a queer woman in Utah. I’m not from here but I can honestly say that this bookstore alone makes me want to come back to Utah in the future. I’ve never had a better experience buying books and I mean that. I bought THREE BAGS WORTH. So much love for them!!

I normally don't leave reviews but I just had to! We were traveling to Las Vegas and made a pit stop off for the night in Salt Lake and I needed a book for the pool. The shop is so cute! The owner is so sweet! You have to come! 100/10. 👻💕📚 Thank you so much!

Such a fantastic selection of romance books! A little something for everyone. I also love how they do their staff picks!

Love, love, love this little book shop! An absolute hidden gem for fantasy & dark-romance lovers! This shop is every book lover’s dream. The moment you walk in, it feels cozy, mysterious, and full of stories waiting to be devoured. The selection of dark romance is incredible — from popular authors to rare finds I’ve never seen anywhere else. The staff truly knows their stuff and are always ready with spot-on recommendations that match your mood or favorite trope. I love how they make every visit feel personal, and their events and displays show just how passionate they are about the genre. Whether you’re new to dark romance or already obsessed, this place is a must-visit. I always leave with a stack of books and a smile.

I'm not typically a romance only girly but when I'm in the mood for it I love it! I tend to be skeptical about genre-only bookstores but I'll pledge my fealty to Lovebound bc not only do they carry my faves, KJ Charles and Talia Hibbert, they carry titles by them that are usually a special order/self pubbed. And that's exactly what I look for when I'm looking in romance, I want some titles that aren't plastered all over Barnes and Noble and Target already, I want some hidden gems and authors that should be outselling other authors and series I won't name lol. Like their inventory is deep, the staff clearly has a lot of knowledge, and it's not only the trendy titles. If Misha Horne ever releases physical copies (please please please) I feel like I could find them here. That is the other big plus, the LGBT+ section is HUGE and it's not just ten copies of Red, White, and Royal Blue lol. Kosoko Jackson, M Wardell, so many authors I never see at B&N or even my favorite indie. Buy local, don't give that bootlicker Bezos any more money, and if you love romance and smut DEFINITELY buy here!

Cutest bookstore I've ever been to! They had an amazing selection of romance books, stickers, bookmarks, and kindle cases. The customer service was fantastic. Really friendly, with great book recommendations. I will 100% be coming back!

Super cute romance-only bookstore with a fairly wide selection (though I’d love to see some more lower-spice and local options!)

Super cute with a great selection of romance novels and super kind staff. They answered questions with a smile and even gave us recommendations of other places to check out. Love seeing smalls businesses support others.

I am OBSESSED with Lovebound Library! I try to go in as often as I can because they have really cute reading supplies, totes, stickers, bookmarks and of course a huge selection of romance books! I love that they put a little pride flag in the books that have characters that are +LGBTQ+, they sort their books nicely so that I can easily find the books I love! The staff is so friendly and helpful! I truly enjoy every moment of my time while I am here!

Such a cool bookstore! I've never been to a romance centered bookstore before and it's my favorite genre so it was a match made in heaven to visit here! My first trip to the store was also the day that they had the fantastic author duo, Christina Lauren, signing books! They have such a huge variety of romance books that you can wander through the store and touch and read! In addition to books they also offer reading supplies and goodies such as stickers, totes, bookmarks, merch, and more! The employees are also very knowledgeable and helpful too! The day that I went they had a deal where based off of how much you spent they provided you with additional gifts such as a free ARC copy and a tote bag too! I'm definitely going to return to my new bookstore of choice and support this fantastic, small local business!

This is a cute romance bookstore that was located near my airbnb when i visited Utah. I LOVED all the cute decor and items you can buy that are bookish. They support a lot of local businesses and artists bookmarks, kindle sleeves, clothing and so much more. They have so many books from different genres and it looks like they decorate by seasons. Service was great! They also have a small room in the back of the store with more clothes, a couple chairs to sit in and other cute bookish items to buy.

What a great little bookstore! It was so cute and pink and fun! The staff was super friendly and it was busy for a Saturday. I appreciated all the punny hats and even the Taylor swift hats! The t-shirts were great and perfectly themed. It was a welcoming vibe for a romance book store. They had a kitty adoption event or something going on in the back.

Visiting Salt Lake City on a work trip and stumbled upon this gem on Instagram. I could not wait to go so I grabbed the girls and away we went. It was a unique book shop with adorable bookish trinkets, a great selection of all things romance, apparel and more. Walked out with two books from my TBR list (that my local Barnes & Noble never stocks), the cutest kindle charm, a book pouch, a shelf sign and my favorite item - a bookmark holder! I can't wait to add these lovely touches to my home library. The staff was lovely and we were sure to join the loyalty program. Will be returning on my next trip in November!

Such a cute girrrrrrly girl type of book store. Tiny store, but such heartfelt vibes and packs a punch in the romance realm. If you need a gift for your book loving peeps, this is a great place. I absolutely love how their lovebound library t-shirt has the brick store on it. I hope that's the logo cause it's simply so cute and would purchase more merchandise with it. They have bookmarks, key chains, mugs, totes, candles, fragrance, stickers, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and of course... romance BOOKS! I can't get enough of their stamped store bags. All in all, great location within the Maven district on 900 south. Literal definition of a book lovers souvenir gift shop. I promise if you purchase something there it will give you that simple bliss feeling.

Lovebound Library is more than just a bookstore--it's a welcoming community. I've participated in their book clubs and met some truly wonderful people. The space is warm, the selection is thoughtful, and it's quickly become one of my favorite places in Salt Lake.

I'd never before heard of a bookstore that only carries on genre-such a unique idea! Lovebound Library only carries romance books-along with some fun accessories (bookmarks, candles, etc) to go along with the theme. It makes me wonder, are there other bookstores out there that specialize in just horror, mystery, fantasy? What a cool concept. This shop is pocket-sized...really, it's tiny. I love all things miniature, so it speaks to me. But it also attracts lots of people, so it gets a bit crowded inside. I popped in, shuffled around with other shoppers for a few minutes, and then made my way for the door pretty quickly on Independent Bookstore Day. Duh. Of course it will be packed on that day. I'll come back on a Wednesday at 2:00. Maybe it will be a little less busy then. I'm so glad to see this shop is getting some love. They seem to be a great place and I'm excited to return.

Adore this spot! The owner is so kind and welcoming. The expansion is awesome. They always have a great stock of books, as well as fun recommendations! Why buy at target when you could buy here? Great value and selection! I love that they foster community and excitement around reading. Plus they have lots of cute merch, trinkets, and treats to buy! Love Lovebound.

What's not to love about this unique and carefully crafted shop?! It's apparent that the items in this store are hand selected and the design of the shop is so thoughtful. Very friendly employees and though it's a small shop, everyone in the store was happily browsing items and even helped with recommendations. Love supporting small businesses!

Cute little romance-only bookstore that recently opened in SLC. This is a very small bookstore and the sections aren't very large. I was disappointed by how small the fantasy section was, considering romantasy is extremely popular these days. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed! I'm happy for the owner, who was there working, but it took away from the experience for me; I wasn't able to peruse the shelves like I wanted to. I felt pushed along by other impatient customers. Maybe it's less busy during the week? I did purchase a sticker and two books that I'm excited to read! The prices are typical of any new bookstore - those three items cost me $42.

We stopped in and this was the cutest little bookstore! The vibes were immaculate and I could have easily spent hours perusing the curated selection or talking with the pleasant staff! Lovely all around! Even got a recommendation on my way out the door that was heartfelt and genuine.

Utah finally has a romance only bookstore!! This shop is woman owned & operated with a decent selection of books, but excellent selection of bookish accessories (candles, bookmarks, mugs, etc) made by local artists. Courtney is so wonderful to talk to! The only downside is the size. It's much smaller on the inside & it gets crowded fast.

This cute little hole in the wall was amazing! They have so many books to choose from and not to mention stickers, mugs, and candles that smell amazing. The staff was friendly and even chimed in on our conversations which was sweet.

Love this place! This bookstore has a romance-only curated selection and cozy ambiance. The shop owner helped me find the perfect book

Super cute bookstore - staff are kind and helpful, and has a wide selection of a variety of romance books!!
