Hello There!
I’m Maddison—reader, rebel, and romance curator behind Banned and Beloved. I believe stories should challenge us, comfort us, and help us evolve. I built this space to celebrate the readers who never lost their love of reading books.
I live in California with my amazing family. I love animals and pretty plants. I can't live without my headphones, kindle and my favorite hoodie. Thank you so much for joining my journey with me, it means the world to me. Feel free to reach out to me anytime! I’m here to spread the joy of reading far and wide, one page at a time.
About Banned and Beloved
Welcome to Banned and Beloved—your cozy corner of all things romance.
This isn’t just a bookstore. It’s a celebration of love in every form it takes.
We’re here for readers who crave connection, emotion, and stories that stay with you long after the last page. Whether you adore slow burns, swoony meet‑cutes, heartfelt second chances, or a little extra spice, this is a space where every romantic can feel at home.
At Banned and Beloved, we believe romance should be joyful, expressive, and completely judgment‑free. Stories help us grow, escape, dream, and feel deeply—and we’re proud to champion the books that bring people together.
