Content Guidance

The target audience for books in The Boutique Bookshop are adults over the age of eighteen years.

The Bookshop includes books of varying intimacy levels and graphic violence.  While many romance titles are considered "sweet" or "warm" romances, there are also those that contain explicit sexual content, mature themes (violence, murder, crime, etc.), and graphic intimacy. 

Product pages will indicate any content guidance or trigger warnings per book, as necessary. Please review content guidance for the product before purchasing. As a reminder, digital products are not returnable.
