CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Under an awning covered in flowers, a new bookstore dedicated to the romance genre opened its doors in Cambridge, Mass. on Wednesday.
Lovestruck Books, in Harvard Square, was founded by Rachel Kanter, a Harvard graduate and former English teacher.
“This is the sort of thing that when I was younger, I would sort of be a little sheepish about it and hide my book under a book cover. And now, I’m just shouting it to the rooftops,” Kanter said.

Shops like this have been popping up all over the country, and Kanter said Lovestruck Books is the first brick and mortar romance bookstore in Greater Boston.
“I think that there’s a really robust literary community here, and obviously a robust romance enthusiast community,” she said.
Kanter said Lovestruck Books will soon also have a café and wine bar.
