Hello, Romance Lovers!

Are you ready to get swept off your feet? We’re making steady progress toward opening our doors and bringing some serious passion to Missoula. FMC Books is gearing up to become the hottest spot in town for romance readers, and we can’t wait to share all the steamy details as they unfold.

Behind the Scenes: Building FMC Books

We are whispering sweet nothings about financial projections and community impact. And, with our eyes on an opening in spring 2025, we’re also courting a few choice retail spaces around town. We’re looking for that just right nook where our bookish love affair can truly blossom. Let’s just say, when we find the one, you’ll know about it.

Our Bookseller and Chief Romantic Officer

Our own FMC, Tara Hamma is lifelong Missoulian that has been busy pulling all-nighters (accompanied by strong coffee and even stronger romance novels) to bring FMC Books to life. Tied to this community she loves, Tara is no stranger to Missoula’s unique character, and she’s thrilled to be turning her dreams of small-business ownership into a reality right here at home. She’s already pouring her heart and soul into creating FMC Books—a place where everyone can step in and feel empowered to be the heroine of their own story. You know, that one where life is as thrilling, passionate, and transformative as the best romance novel on your shelf.

Our Mission: Empowerment, Community, & Romance

At FMC Books, we believe every woman deserves to be the main character in her life, complete with all the ups, downs, and heart-thumping excitement of a romance novel. The stories we stock are full of fierce heroines who love unapologetically, fight for themselves and their communities, and, yes, find their happily-ever-afters along the way. We’re here to create a community where every woman who walks through our doors feels celebrated, inspired, and a little more connected with herself and others.

We’re more than just books—we’re about uplifting stories that fuel self-love, resilience, and the courage to make your own magic. Whether you’re a seasoned romance reader or just dipping your toes in, FMC Books has got your back, ready to show you that love isn’t just between the pages; it’s in every choice you make to be your own heroine.

Until next time, remember: a good romance novel is like a great love story—hot, heartfelt, and utterly irresistible.
