I liked reading these chapters of upcoming books. I especially liked the excerpts from Tessa Dare’s The Duchess Deal and also Wilde in Love by Eloisa James. I also loved Shelly Laurenston's Hot and Badgered. I also got to read a few excerpts on books that wouldn’t normally read but they look interesting anyways and I am intrigued.

Never Disappointed in Buzz Books. I'm a huge fan of Showalter so I was excited to see her featured this issue!

Not as compelling as I’d hoped. Some stories seem interesting but they are from authors I already knew

I enjoyed the Romance edition of Buzz Books. I found some new authors I am interested in reading more of and some titles that I will definitely be checking out.

An informative and concise guide about 2017 Romance books.

No review, was lost on this one, probably due to my own lack of knowledge.. I suggest reading and make your own call.

If you love romance, this is a book worthy of your attention! It gives excerpts of upcoming romance books that will be published. I enjoyed reading the samples as it tells me who I might want to read if I don't know the author. It also helps me to be able to tell my friends about new romance books coming out in 2017.

I look forward to this book every year. It's a wonderful way to get a view of different books to read .

Nice mix in here of stories - some in subgenres that I don't really read - but there are a couple here that I definitely want to read more of - so I've requested a few and will probably buy a couple too.

The books weren't that interesting for me but I love the concept. I think I will stick to the YA edition.

Apologies, but this was an accidental request. I meant to re-download the YA version of the Winter BUZZ BOOKS, and somehow ending up with the Romance version instead.

Didn't open for me. I was able to read the blurb I was interested in a different file, it worked fine.

Great source for new book discovery. Help to focus on specific books or authors to watch for.

Not sure what to say about these. To review each preview or just this book...
The books chosen for this were all by talented authors and I cannot wait for them to be released.

So, I have to be honest, this was somewhat of a disappointment for me. Despite the hefty selection—18 titles with excerpts—I only walked away feeling like I had to get my hands on The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren. Why oh why is NetGalley only offering a sneak peek instead of the full novel?! Guess I'll have to wait until January.

Every reader has different tastes, likes and dislikes, and for me, this Buzz Books compilation hit on a lot of the aspects of the romance genre that I don’t typically partake in. The selections seemed to be geared heavily towards historical romance fans and books with I’m sorry to say, overly cheesy covers and corny sounding storylines. Romance books you might imagine your grandmother read back in the day. I think what I was expecting was more contemporary romance titles. With that said, my overflowing bookshelf is probably thanking me for only adding one title and like I’ve said multiple times, these compilations are great; especially for the exposure to new authors they offer.

A great idea. Pick and mix and read extracts of books you might not normally select.
