Who are you?
M&T is co-owned by Sarah Borgnis-Tobin and Elizabeth Tucker, two friends who met and bonded over their work at the Henry Carter Hull Library, in Clinton, CT. Their combined years of romance reading, retail experience, and event planning make them uniquely suited to welcome a community of readers and foster an environment of inclusion and connection.
What's with the name?
One of the original voices in modern romance, Jude Deveraux, wrote over a dozen books about the Montgomery & Taggert families throughout history. Our shop name reflects our reverence and respect for the romance writers and readers of the past, as well as our excitement about the evolution and future of the romance genre.
I don't read romance. Should I come to Montgomery & Taggert?
YES. Just because we don't stock much non-romance on our shelves does not mean we don't have something for you! Perhaps you will find a fun literary treat, or sign up for an event that speaks to your passions. Additionally, we are very happy to order non-romance books for pickup in the shop, or for delivery to your home.
