About X&O Books
Woman-owned. Romance-obsessed. Made for you.
Built for Romance Readers
Hi! I’m Kara French, Owner of X&O Books. The X&O Team is proudly building an independent romance-only bookstore and drinks parlor in Cypress. Designed by women, for women. We can’t wait to help you find your latest read, sip something cold and welcome you in to our community.
Our Books
X&O Is proud to feature romance that meets you where you are. In your villain era? We’ve got a shelf for that. Rom-Com Queen with an extra dash of spice? Loving that energy. Closed door romance? Look no further. It’s all here in the space you didn’t know you needed.
Our Community
X&O is proudly owned by a Cypress native and third-generation Houstonian. Our goal? Simple. Create and carefully curate a gorgeous space designed for book clubs, author signings and weekly community events. Oh, and did we mention there would be wine too?
