One year ago, we opened our doors with a dream of spice and swoon, and thanks to you, it’s been 365 days of pure happily ever after. For those of you who were able to join us this past weekend, we can all still feel your 4EVA love ruffling our pages! I can’t express my gratitude enough for you showing up–this weekend and all throughout the year–to share your stories and lives and inviting us to be part of your own hearts. If we missed you, we’ve got much more ahead. And to our whole community, I can’t wait to sail off into every one of 2026’s sunsets with you! But why use words—I’ll let these photos speak!
And we have so much in store for the month of Love. Valentine’s Day (AKA our Superbowl) and the New England Patriots in the actual Superbowl? Bad Bunny playing coy about his super secret, show-stopping performance? Our cups (and TBR lists) runneth over. We are ready to celebrate love both on and off the field!
We’ve got bubbles and bonbons, quiet cosy nooks, hot love note writing, mini candle making, and many other activities to make your heart pound.
Struggling for an idea for what to get your Valentine? Our staff are ready, willing, and able to assist with recommendations!
See you soon!
And here’s a very special Valentine’s Day message from our very own window bear:
Dear Everyone, Please come visit me and look at my FABULOUS Lovestruck hockey jersey! Take me home with you! Love, Hudson
Representing and celebrating diverse voices is core to Lovestruck. While we celebrate Black love all year round, Black History Month gives us an additional place to feature some of our favorite Black authors—including my staff pick for this month!
The Re-Do List, Denise Williams This second chance romance features a FMC checking off her “re-do” list with brother’s best friend after a bad break up with her high school sweetheart? Sign me up!
I LOVE Self Love. So whether you are celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or Palentine’s Day–and if you’re your own soulmate or someone else’s favorite lover–I toast you and the love you give, the love you take, and the love you cultivate inside and out. Here are my top picks where love lives any way you want.
Single, Nicola Slawson An honest exploration of life as a single person in her 30s—you can find joy, completion, and satisfaction with or without a partner. A great reminder on a holiday that often celebrates coupledom—you don’t need anyone else to live a complete life.
