about book beau affair

Welcome to Book Beau Affair, an Iowa-based mobile romance booktique celebrating love stories in all their forms.

Romance has been called a “guilty pleasure” for far too long. And we don’t do guilt here.

Whether you love small-town swoon, morally gray heroes or fated-mate romantasy, your bookshelf deserves to be celebrated.

At Book Beau Affair, our mission is simple: Celebrate romance without apology.

Because romance isn’t “less than” other genres. It’s powerful, emotional, escapist, and sometimes a little spicy...exactly the way we like it.

Hi, I’m Steph, the reader behind Book Beau Affair.

I’m a Kindle girly, but I’ll read via ANY format. When I do buy physical copies, it's usually for my "Trophy Case." I tend to favor romantasy and dark romance. But honestly? I’ll read pretty much anything with a good story and a little smutty smut.

I’m a momma of three, wife to Mr. Book Beau (the biggest Duke fan in the state of Iowa), full-time communications consultant for a large insurance company, and human to a 12-year-old puppers and 8-year-old cat.

I have a weird obsession with sharks, I love LOVE all things Marvel (especially Iron Man), and I enjoy the occasional video game sesh. I have 12 tattoos and anywhere near the ocean is my happy place.

I started Book Beau Affair because I love reading and I also wanted bookish tees to show off my love of reading. I’ve also been making t-shirts for friends and family for a loooong time. One day Mr. Book Beau asked why I haven't made my own bookish shirts? So, with lots of encouragement from him, I decided to combine those two hobbies, and now I get to make stuff I love for other readers to enjoy.

And if you’re wondering what kind of reader I am…
I will absolutely say, “I’m just going to read one chapter,” and then emerge from my Kindle at 3:00 a.m.
