Mon Coeur Books, a romance-focused bookstore, opened May 20 in Canton, Mich., Hometown Life reported.
Located at 42823 Ford Rd. in the Canton Corners Shopping Center, Mon Coeur carries a wide selection of romance titles for both teens and adults. Plenty of sub-genres are represented, including contemporary romance, romantasy, YA romance, LGBTQ+ romance, and more. Alongside books customers can find an array of apparel and book-related gifts. As the store finds its footing, it will begin hosting author events and book club meetings.
Prior to opening Mon Coeur Books, owner Carolyn Haering worked as a creative director for a variety of advertising agencies in the Detroit area. She told Hometown Life that while the work was "rewarding and a lot of fun," she eventually wanted to slow things down and decided to open a bookstore. She hopes Mon Coeur Books becomes a hub for readers in the Canton community.
"I really hope people come here and they can talk to other people who like the same books and create that sense of community," Haering said. "We have places for people to sit and hang out and chat or meet friends. I just really want this to be a really fun gathering place for people who love love."
